A lot of years in on this forum im still learning and thankful to the amazing peoples knowledge on here. . Im going to ask the drummer and guitarist to play before our rehearsal. And ask what they hear. I dont mind that my Sei has some quirks (if that's the case) because i love the natural tone of the instrument played finger style. Thats why i waited for 8 years to get it back.. On another note, I love the Genz Benz stuff but Im going back to Aguilar as that was my first love of bass amplification.

Yes you could be right Ped.. I dont slap a lot on it anyway. The neck pickup needed adjusting much closer to the strings so that could be the problem. Will see. I can always use the Lakland Jazz for any slap parts as its an absolute beast.

Well I'm not sure yet as I haven't been to a rehearsal to see if my adjustments have sorted it. I will report back. Thanks for the help guys. Hmm strange you couldn't PM me.

The bass has Labella Stainless Steel's on it.

Hmm. Im not sure I want to know the name of this bass.

Yes the FaceBook one. So someone posted about Rickenbacker basses and what people didn't like about them. Got Deleted. People asked what the problem was. I couldn't see a problem discussing it. Just like I wouldn't care if people discussed what they didn't like about any other bass. I posted and asked what the problem was. Was deleted from the group. Not going to loose any sleep over it. But I've got to say the guy who admins it is a proper clown.

What a bargain James. Love those Glock preamps.

Its ok to have a nod to Marvin. Its still relevant.? We should know in the UK. It was more about the musical content than the lyrical content for me. 9.20 check his voice out. OMG that is proper gospel power.!

Slick stuff from Cory and his band. B Slade with the amazing laid back Sharay on bass. He reminds me of KRS1

Wasn't sure what title to put but i'll explain. I have a Sei Jazz bass. East preamp. Its super punchy finger style through all strings. Flawless. I don't slap a huge amount but I do when I feel a song needs a little. Here is the issue. When I thumb no problem but the pop on the D and G string are getting lost in the mix. They are literally inaudible. Ive tried this through a 210 GenzBenz with the Shuttle amp. Also through some high end headphones, so I know its not a volume problem.. maybe.? Now I have a new pair of Bartolini B Axis Jazz pickups in the bass. Ive set them properly so the treble end is closer. The Bartolini's I had before had the same issue. I have a Lakland 44-60 passive and this instrument has no problems at all. The weird thing is even when I turn the preamp off ( set to passive). It still has the same issue so its not like im EQ'ing it wrong... Still no volume on the pop of the D and G string. Ive got to say I'm a little confused. All I can think of is set the pickups even closer to the G string. Maybe need to set those strings a little higher,(there not super low) as maybe the action is choking the notes.??? Thanks for any info girls/guys.

Why is it self indulgent.?? I don't get it. So a professional bass player like Scott is just plays like this to serve his own ego.?

The only reason I bought Alder was it as slightly lighter than the Ash.. They were both too heavy mind.

We/some/most of us have heard it. Didn't know he played it on his Jazz bass. Although we only hear clips of his playing lets not forget how much of a beast of a player he is.. Fantastic drumming and keys.

This should have been the attitude many many years ago..

Just spotted this. New and old bass day. The Lakland neck just feels tiny. You may have noticed its missing some knobs. Bought it like that and in the post. And there is no way I'm paying £200 for a scratch plate. Think I have a black Jazz plate somewhere.

I see this thread resonates with all of us.!! 😂

Good luck with that risky strategy.

I would never take my wife to Cash Converters.

I wouldn't take it too seriously Paul. And skint is not literal. Its not really serious and for sure tongue and cheek. Im not getting a divorce over a bit of wood and metal..
