Road trip? Maybe ashdown should hold a bass bash and have the masses descend 😀

I just submitted my mix of a song for a UAD competition - it didn’t come across on the version I sent as well as I heard it in the daw but.... I had a lot of fun boosting some eq in the bleed of other mics rather than the primary mic used on some of the instruments. It’ll not win any Grammys but it was interesting to me to hear those ‘bleeds’ nudged to give a different quality over the actual close mics. It was a rushed mix but I’m defo gonna do more. Cheers!

Isn’t that the whole point of a signature model? It’s brand awareness and a high profile user who influences people/fans to get onboard with the brand as much as their sig model. X player uses Y brand. It’s like my point the other day why make an active bass without a passive option? If a brand can produce a mid price model with this feature why not in their £1500+ model? Artists and their fripperies!

Hi makes sense. I’m enjoying getting my head around mixing and sound and while I’m still figuring stuff out but it certainly corresponds to other stuff I’ve read/seen. Any good books on this you can recommend? General mixing and the like?

Wanting a good sub bass sound but asking form a completely different perspective to the comprehensive description and viewpoint you just gave. 😀

Bravo! I love a good sound engineer breakdown of getting a sound to sit/mix well.

@Friskydingo check out the description of what the TH DI can offer in this thread linked below. It might help decide if a pedal based version has a few more options for what you need. I’ve not used the head version but I do like the pedal for the extra bit of color it can add to my amp or at amp shared gigs. I normally keep the AGS mode engaged and have it balanced volume wise to sit equall(ish) to the clean or just leave it on as the basic always on sound (AGS Engaged) when I’m wanting a bit more edge to the basic tone. It also works as a great clean preamp if that’s needed too - just be aware of the volume boost as it not ideal as a stomp box type effect to switch between AGS off and on. I think it been designed to be used as a clean pre or a ‘amp-like pre’ but not both on the same song!

Worth getting one in any colour!

Of course ...which one though? And what about the squealing, over driven j bass sound

This often comes up in threads with people saying the band noticed a tone or a sound but it’s often not clear if that was a good thing or a bad thing. Sometimes different is just different but when a whole band looks up that can be as much consternation as a confirmation that it works.

Even if were noticeable I think most of us could excuse a slight different in active/passive sound over active sound/no sound

I think a passive option should always be available on an active bass but I suppose on a Signature model the big name players usually have a tech to concern themselves with battery changes!

😂 😂😂

@Al Krow What was different about your set up for this gig? Were your volume levels different for this gig over and above a regular pub gig? Did you have pa support or a sound guy? Same cab as usual? Let the hive mind help problem solve!

Some of the earlier Sandbergs especially the TSBS model looks great in that postbox yellow and if I were hunting for a jazz that would be in my top 3. But again if you’re after a five string only it changes your options somewhat

There’s the BB604 which you could have a tech do a number on the eq/electronics to render it passive or switchable but it’s 4 string. One near me for not very much money. Basically a budget NE with that NE-1 type mid eq feature.

Worth a punt!

Do you currently integrate and use midi with your existing midi capable pedals?

I’d agree time spent looking on google is about the same time asking a question on a forum with a more immediate answer. If you’re into an item and want more info there’s likely a review on yt or a written review. If after the initial search you need to be told what you want to hear contact the seller and suffer the hyperbole 😀

Was it @Al Krow again?

I can sense my next for sale advert

How much does your jazz bass weight...and is it a four string with two pick ups? Hi yeah its 4.8kg but now you've asked I've noticed it's a 5 string musicman with a humbucker. Still interested?
