Unless your bass is incredibly hot, crank the input and lower the output. Around 1pm works for me for a standard passive P.

Honestly, don’t worry about it unless you can hear a problem. ‘Cos if you can’t hear a problem, there ain’t one 🙂

If you can't hear any problems, don't worry about it. The light is designed to come on during normal operation. It's an 'I'm here!' light, rather than a warning light.

I've got seven new sets of flats sitting around in case I need them. I reckon that's a minimum of 140 years' worth.

UPDATE - it's still #1. Here's something from last weekend. Love it.

THIS DRUMER ARE AT TEH WRONG GIG LOL

We’ve already done this one a few posts back 🙂

No, but they're very good at doing clever things subtly. See also the Am mentioned above.

Start it on the off-beat and you’ll be fine. They’re crafty buggers, those Eagles. Love ‘em.

Does that mean there will be noise, or there won't be noise..?

I honestly don’t know why they asked you to play anything solo. Or why 99% of musicians would want to hear Jaco’s bass part on Donna Lee. There’s just no version of that scenario that involves winning.

I can’t work out if this is satire or not 😄

I hit 50 last August, and I've been gradually falling apart ever since. It's like someone flicked a switch 😄

Those B necks are beautiful. I don’t know why they’re not more widely available on new P’s.

One of the best bits of musical advice I ever received: Years ago I got a gig playing with a bunch of very respected musicians who I admired greatly. I put the work in, and after the rehearsal of the first song, I was confident I’d nailed it. Drummer politely chimes up: “Let’s do it again, but this time play half the amount of notes.” Nailed it. Again. ”OK… once more, but this time lose another half again, and we should be good.” I listened back and you know what? He was bang on.

If budget is tight, and you want something useable, get some pals in and shoot it handheld with phones. They tend to be stabilised and have better dynamic range than zoom stuff, which in gig lighting is either very noisy, or blows out the highlights. You can always drop the audio in from a zoom recorder.

Ha ha… absolute cack!

It’s Yes though. It’s a travesty.

Compare and contrast. A travesty.

They really need to jack it in. They're just dreadful, in the studio and live. In the meantime, Jon Anderson is on the road having a whale of a time with the Band Geeks, playing Yes stuff with energy and enthusiasm (and apparently Boris Johnson on drums).

I can't see it happening any time soon.....

I wouldn’t hesitate to get another Limelight.

OMG I love it.... (and it goes without saying I'm not Chuck Rainey 😆)

I would say so. Anything that introduces an element of doubt would. That said, it’s not an unusual occurrence, and it seems to be legit.
