    I gigged this over the weekend - many of my gigs are iem but I had my amp with me for this one. What a tight and present sound on the night. As we were doing our own sound I got to push my amp more (the sound guy at the other venue likes me to keep the amp low if I’m using the supplied one) and man it was great sound it was! The all pick ups on is killer but the ‘p tones’ were just spot on. A combination of the scale length and the pick up (and some sweet pedal board tone shaping between the comp and drive pedal) but just wow! I’ve been rotating basses these last few gigs and I’ve been lucky to have had three gigs in the same venue so it’s been good to revisit what each delivers. For me the p bass and the jazz are staples but the ding has another quality that the other two can’t quite reach. I’m still a p bass guy at heart but this ding sings!

    OK so at a massive push I might entertain a trade on a Gibson Les Paul bass but only because I’ve been on a Supersuckers binge of late!🤠

    People enjoy the seasonal songs. It’s as simple as that!

    Nurse!!! If the MB HT503 is anything like the HD 500 it’ll be a belter!

    Great memory! 🤓

    I had the MusicMan HD500 which was built for EBMM by MB. It was a cracking head too and definitely worth a look if you see one come up. I think it was based on the TA501 Markbass head?!?

    Thanks for the trade offer but I’m not into Warwicks!

    Your man with a van could pick it up for you as he’s driving past on his next pick up 😉 For me the beauty of the three pick ups is that they’re the same pick up so you get that p bass tone but just in different positions with the solo bridge or solo p setting rather than a weaker bridge say on some pj basses. I said it in the first post but solo bridge does a great p tone only a bit more gnarly. The all pick ups on mode gives this focused nearly compressed sounding tone which sit really nicely and is really good for slap tones. It was the perfect bass in the 80’s band having those MM tones too.

    Steady on Euclid! 😉

    Been banging on this tonight for some up coming gigs and it’s winning over both my p & j as it’s just so versatile - running into a tube di direct to my Apollo and it’s a monster. I don’t think I’ve played such a versatile sounding bass.

    I’ve been in touch with them direct and they don’t have any stockists and they don’t do international shipping. It likely helps keep costs down but thanks for the link.

    Decided to keep things passive… I’m keen to try an Audere pre but they won’t ship to the UK. Would any US bases BC’ers be able to be my shipping address and then forward the unit to me? I heard one used in Johnny Long demo and loved the flexibility and design of the unit and it’s one of the few active preamps I genuinely liked the sound from. I’ll naturally cover the costs of getting the unit to you and the shipping to me here in Scotland. If you feel you would have a spare few hours to stick a shipping label on the box and drop off/await collection from a courier then DM me. Thanks for reading

    Same - I don’t really need a DC7 but adding another pedal or two … well it’s nice to have the option from time to time.

    Just running the bass and FM pedal into Logic... So considering the actual 'natural voice' of the bass's unaffected signal then adding the FM and comparing the two on the eq freq analyser the FM is pushing between 80-150 region on the bass, in and around 200-400 on the mid, highs around 800-1.2 so kinda what I was hearing and the high mids (LPF) just rolls off highs to find the sweet spot for the top end. It's actually voiced very similar to how the bass signal looks/sounds with the pedal off - complimenting the bass's 'natural' voice.

    For all the slagging and eye rolls there’s a decent number of Christmas songs that help makes folks staff nights out/annual get together with friends or just spreading simple Christmas cheer which are fun to play and no real hardship for any working band. Often the bigger issue is which songs get dropped to accommodate the festive tunes. In my old originals band we always did a seasonal song mostly if it was a December gig or a Hallowe’en gig. We’d either do a stylistic mash up where we’d mix up the verses and chorus with different styles of music often staring very light and ending in a mad punk or metal finale or we’d mash up various songs for that season. Just got a message from the lead singer tonight asking about festive tunes for the weekends gig!

    We play Fairytale near The end of the night - drunks like a sing along it is always a floor filler for that time of night. Mariah, Shakey and Rockin Around the Christmas Tree always affords a wee bit of jazz walking during the solo which is nice to play. @Al Krow depending on the venue/occasion and number of songs/sets one or two per set seems reasonable 8 however might be really pushing it. Depends if it means you'll have 8 new songs to learn from scratch in a week or two. As a punter I'd expect to hear a band bust out a couple of classic's on a night out in December. As an example we play in an Irish bar and get grief off the occasional punter for not playing enough Irish music - i.e. Boyzone and Westlife!

    It’s actually got a bit more going on ‘musically’ than some other Christmas tunes. Theres some nice movement on the “Boys of New York Police Choir…) bit and the verse is no less dull than many a pub standard banging out a root 5th line. Have a play along you might find you enjoy it!
  23. krispn
    Yup. Just play Fairytale of New York or All I Want For Christmas and guage the reaction.

    I just created an tx loopand ran my Cali76TX into that. Tried some of the comps which weren’t bad but the Cali was a league above. Now no longer have eithe but I’m using a Darkglass Hyper Luminal after a gear purge which I like to do every few years.

    Lehle gear is fab!
