In no particular order Raggle Taggle Gipsy ‘live version -The Waterboys as it’s got a really driving bassline in places. I was rehearsing last night with a 300 person choir for an upcoming show and hearing the songs especially ones like Rule The World (Take That) and Viva la Vida (Coldplay) sounded really powerful! and finally Nothing Compares To You by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Ahh Prince😢

The BB is designed to stand up to Dual Rec amps etc so it’s gonna have a much more in yer pus type of voicing which, if you’re into that kinda thing it’s gonna be hard to beat. Sounds like a good purchase!

Oh go on then... Meet Frank! He’s a PBird with a Tone Styler in place of a regular tone control. The sound is great and the added versatility of the TS over a regular tone control on a single pick up bass is a very wonderful thing!

I'll do what I like when I like thanks very much

The lad or the bass?

I'd considered this at one stage too - some decent studio kit in a small rack - there's Warm Audio 'Pultec' clone on here - I'd love to try it into something like the Hellborg power amps going 'cheap' on Thomann. Imagine the big fat sound outta a Pultec hitting some big iron!! Delicious!

What else could you possibly need?

A happy middle ground between a 1073 mic pre and an 1176 in one rack? https://sxpro.co.uk/bae-uk-sound-1173

If I start buying any more gear from Richard I may have to start referring to him as a pimp! Wonderful to sit and chew the fat and the respite form the drive was most welcome! Always a pleasure to do a deal with Richard and if anyone is considering buying a rw jazz bass from him tell him not to sell it as he’ll only want to buy it back the following month. Be well Sir!

Graeme kindly met me at the end of my epic sales road trip to test out my 5 string and to my delight bought it! A truely decent bloke he put up with my ramblings and terrible jokes. Proof indeed that bass players are indeed the steady ship and in any situation. Hope the bass brings you much joy! G

It’d be interesting to know how many folks have gone back to passive basses after the experiment with active and the endless tweaking on a gig

(pssssst) (there's a trickfish amp for sale on here!)

@sifi2112 Yeah great suggestion! My interest isn't what's on the boards as much as the noises and sounds created with them and the context folks are using them in. I struggle to see where I need more than a bit of drive or eq so to see these 14 pedal behemoth boards I'm baffled - limited by my own tunnel vision no doubt - but I'm confident people are making far more interesting and textured noises than my brain could conjure up with the same wealth of tools!
