I love my 1990's 2eg 4 string Ray. Initially I had the week G string, but fixed it by adjusting the pole pieces too. I run it on full bass and 70% treble. Some light eq settings on my amp to suit but always a low mid boost. It cuts through the mix of our 3 piece band where the guitarist likes a muddy bassy sound. I get a lot of compliments on my sound and our drummer says it's the best sounding bass he's heard on stage. The neck is just right for me and it's such a joy to play.

All this talk about Danny Sapko. Perhaps we need to rename this forum to BESHCHAT.

I found her impressive. She wrote the chart out on the first listen and played her version of a bass line on the next listen. Ive seen a few of these on SBL and she did it the quickest. The other girl (for Linus27) is Sharon Reynolds who is a very competent bass player herself.

Vaseline is find for lubricating ear plugs. Its also what the NHS audiologist uses i noticed.

I admire what you are suggesting. However, the thread is into many pages now and as we know people do not read through all the posts and many have a short memory. This was always going to happen with a thread like this, so just roll with it.

I bought one new around 1990 in London it was black with a rosewood neck. Quite something but it had a bit of an odd G string with a dead spot that threw me. I even went back to the shop about it but another was the same. I bought it on a bit of a whim, I was young and didn't really think it through. I didn't use it that much, but did record a song with it that sounds good. A few years later I emigrated and needed to sell it fast, and ended up selling it to a shop for about a third of what I paid for it. I don't have any photos of it. I hope you find one to your liking. I realised a 5 string isn't for me. I'll stick to my 4 string 1992 2eq StringRay.

He's been SBL and just appeared again, which I need to see. He did alright making up his own bassline to a MJ song. I do like this SBL idea and there are some other good ones.

We were back at the Queens Arms in Brixham last night, which is one our favourite pubs to play and we are the landlords favourite band. We set up quick and it sounded good, but later we were told the guitar was too quiet when it was fine at first. A combination of up on his amp and bit more in the PA along with a subtle equaliser tweak sorted it. We were playing quiet well and having a good gig, but there were some moments. A few caused by our singer with one particular strange one. At the end of the second chorus in Go Your Own Way he carried on and then me and the guitarist both went into the ending so we completely missed the middle section. Lots of looking at each other wondering what went on, but we laughed about it as we alesys seem to play our way our of problems. A good size appreciative crowd, and some people I haven't seen for a while. Next gig is NYE at a different pub. Usual rig, which I've photographed close up. Got some good feedback on my sound from a fellow bass player and their friend.

You can download the freeview app and watch it. Now tv with the entertainment package will let you watch it on demand too.

A guitar playing colleague at work has mentioned the Roconteurs for sometime now. I finally got round to listening to Guy and Gary interview Mani. It was recorded very recently and is a great listen.

I was looking at his tour as he was booked into a theatre near me. I was showing a work colleague about it only this morning. He will be missed, but will be well remembered.

We played a new venue last night, the Palace Place social club in Paignton. They have a PA, but the monitors were elsewhere so we took our desk and monitors and plugged into their amp. The room was quite tall and we needed to dial back on the higher frequencies to control the sound. My bass rig was filling the room nicely and didn't need much FOH, but the guitar did. A decent FOH and stage sound sorted and we blasted through our 2 sets. This club is near an old favourite pub which has changed landlord and direction, so we are not playing there anymore. We will secure more gigs here so that keeps us busy enough. They were pleased to have us and suggested coming down when it is quieter and setting up with their system and digital desk and monitors so we can just plug and play for the next gig. We didn't have a lot of time last night for that. Quite a few people who used to see us in Paignton came last night now we are back in town. My usual rig of StingRay, RM500 evo II & BF 210. Shoes were my new Skechers slip on' which are super comfy.

Hi and welcome to Bssschat. Im sure you'll get a lot out of this place as you browse and post on the many threads.

Has he got an Elf to spare. One of the Trace Elliot varieties please.

Welcome. Im glad you found the forum. Im sure you'll get some responses about lessons along the way.

Our band drops a semitone and I also use a Drop D tuner for a few songs. I play a StingRay and use a 105 gauge D'Addario Pro Steel strings and it sounds immense.
