That is good advice for wanting to learn to read before you can learn to read and play walking bass parts. On the other hand I had the rhythm and chart conventions down fine enough from sightreading pretty advanced treble cleft in my school days. It didn't stop me from "reading" bass clef 90% by ear live at rehearsal. I couldn't read the actual notes. I didn't even know the tunes intimately or at all but I could follow the chart. Can't beat that for getting up to speed. So I think using material you know to get playing along isn't such a bad idea for making progress more enjoyable and probably not slower overall. If you find yourself earing it too much it is time to play it solo. A lot of written bass charts for pop tunes are pretty basic arrangements so you can be a bit hardarse about playing what is written to slow your ear down a bit too.

Nah. Eb is most of the repertoire, you mean pedal E open on occasion.

Neat trick for some perhaps. Personally not up for those mental gymnastics and it only helps open strings. Option 1. Two basses and if they aren't otherwise shagging around themselves one little bit EVER then three basses with the extra backup in the regular Eb tuning. 3 tunes in standard pitch is shagging around PLENTY for that to be the single backup bass.

Prescient Bard, all yours

I dunno. Prescient still gets a bit of use. As in, he was prescient in selling his shares in XYZ Co before they crashed. I was prescient this would get some more discussion.

Mee toooo.

Because evry band name is speld prefect init!

They appear to have randomly ported it instead of transferring everything across. There could be a second port unseen. That one port would be struggling I think. I guess they are really tall to need the angled top speaker? Is it deep enough? If you go check it out all will become clear.

I think it is in need of service. It is getting hot when it shouldn't, after being fine in the case for many years? Cooling is via fan sucking air in the back and exhausting on the far side of the rack unit. If the case were silly deep it might recirculate a little. Nothing draped over the back? Warm air rises. Make sure it is working. Feel where the warm air goes with a damp finger.

Shook Swizzle was the pick of 3 goes

Bugera, rhymes with stuff that accumulates in nostrils, at least as far as their marketing numbers are worth.

Never owned more than one cab from anyone.

I think an 8ohm 210 would be a good upgrade. If it's not enough you can add another. There is the possibility your amp is being overdriven or the outdoor power supply is suspect. Best to try out a 210 with your amp before buying.

You mean the same inside out upside down jack socket?

Inside out and upside down. Or is everyone else's????

He just sold one of the same but 115 version. Serious case of serial GAS?

Generally a used GB cabinet in good condition will be a way better value proposition than any new TC cab. It may not be any lighter than the TC combo you are selling though, so you better check on that.

It turns inside out in the middle. I imagine the double top E is where you stumble? Whereever the stumble happens you need to note how you tried to play it and assess if it is appropriate. Having worked that out I would count rests into the stumbled note and pick it up with the correct pluck or stroke of the lead in note. Practice just that until blue in the face and then go from the start again being sure to arrive on the correct stroke.

Sure. Just turn it down if the cab complains.

That's the bugger.

I accidentally blew up most of the gig as small stage and 410 in a small pub is wont to do. I wandered out front with my long lead and shocked how loud I was in the mix.

Yeah, I just about busted my boiler shifting a 410 from the drummer's car when I depped. Saved by a young passer by who saw my struggles.

A kick drum mic delivering the aggro. Wow.

Would have to be a permanent anorak wearer to spot what neck is on your bass from the front row. Don't expect them to number 1 at at your shows. Play your lines by finger memory and rock out soaking it all in. Good times.

That's understandable, but not the three tuning pegs aka shiny things at the end of the long lined thing one of the wriggly things attached to the top of the centre blob thing rests on.
