Lightning Never Strikes Twice - The Move

L'Enfant Sauvage - Gojira

The only gear I really want is a Tech 21 XB, but it's not going to happen at the current ridiculous prices.

Over And Over - Space Opera

Repeat - Manic Street Preachers

Genesis - Slade

This. Comically oversized but what an absolute brute.

Repeat - Manic Street Preachers

Too Late: Frozen - Type O Negative

Shoot High, Aim Low - Yes

Dangerous - The Who

Seaside Rendezvous - Queen

The Sound Of Wee - King Prawn

The same happened to me with Rush of all people. I was really upset at the time, having waited my whole life to see them, and Geddy being one of my heroes, only to be greeted with an indecipherable wall of sub bass. Luckily I saw them again and the matter was rectified 😁 Like you, it's one of the reasons I don't bother with bigger gigs much these days.

TONE

Vowel - Biffy Clyro

Groove Machine - King's X

I couldn't have put it better myself. "Ill-disciplined rock player" - that's me to a tee 😆 I'm not that good at just holding down the low end... it's more fun to play 10 notes instead of 2. Made my years in pub covers bands a bit interesting though... For me, Entwistle will always be the ultimate bass guitarist, and my greatest teacher, as I literally learnt to play bass by listening to and copying him. The Guv'nor.

That's one for the Xmas list!

DRs! Fantastic. My choice of string, I've never played better. Not tried to Lo Riders, I usually use Hi Beams. What is it they say on Talkbass - woodshedding? Enjoy your time in the woodshed! You know how when you're so familiar with a band, you can find yourself not listening to them so often? That's me and The Who. This thread (and your other one) has sent me right back into them. Pure rock fury. Nothing ever came close.

Maid Of Orleans - OMD

Time O' The Signs - Terrorvision

Remove the J pickup, that'll help with the weight! 😁

I need to see those! They had the front end of a Victor at Hendon, but only that. The Victor's my favourite of the three

Here's a rare shot of John with the bass in question.
