His Sandman cover has to be heard to be believed

What? That's arguably one of the better cover versions out there. Paul Simon gives it his seal of approval too.

I suspect if it had an MUFC logo on it the value of the bass would plummet.

I use Dunlop Tortex 1mm or 1.14mm (depending on what's closest). I suffer with carpal tunnel issues, so if numbness strikes while playing I have some Dunlop Max Grip 1mm picks handy so I don't drop it while playing.

Those things are dangerous, man!

The Devil In I - Slipknot

My #1 but has recently taken a back seat to my Sire V7. Trying to give it some attention now and will be introducing it to the band next weekend.

Spanish Train - Chris De Burgh

I should probably post a link to a video, shouldn't I...

Indeed, I'm at the start of the journey so it's just a stopgap measure until I can justify spending out on something more robust.

Watching Norman Watt Roy playing Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick was a bass awakening for me.

I've only just started my journey with compression and only really use a small amount of it for just the reasons you've outlined. I try and use just enough to make sure my bass sounds like my bass, but that it also "fills out" my sound so my bass sits well in the mix. The first time I used my pedal my band were very impressed at how much of a difference a relatively small amount of compression made. I'm not a fan of massively compressed bass tones but I think a little goes a long way.

I have a collection of Ernie Ball patch cables just waiting to be used, and one of those daisy chain power supplies, so I think I'm sorted on that front for a bit. I think I can do without the others for now at least though XD

She is rather good, isn't she

Better with Peavey than with Gibson! I'm sure there are those out there that consider anything after the exodus to Ashdown to be "not a real Trace". I need to give my little Boxer some love and attention soon.

I wish you luck, having lived in Redruth for ten years I feel the lack of decent music shops in that part of the world deeply!

Mostly listening to the new Ithaca album on repeat. The bassist's sister is a friend of mine, but that's not the reason it's on repeat, which is that it's freaking amazing.

Seconding the bit about not getting a cheap one. We inherited a Mahalo one from a friend and the damn thing can never stay in tune (my breaking one of the machine heads didn't help matters though!)

You are a true mensch, sir.

Live Forever by Oasis. It was the 90s though!

My first "proper" gig ever with Replicater, a covers band from Yorkshire. I think my V7 sounds pretty fat here, DI'd through the PA with only a little compression from my Landlord "A Cheeky Pint" pedal (it sounded pretty good on stage through the Ashdown ABM-500 loaned from @Merton and my SWR cab too). Next gig not until November so I'll see how my P-bass sounds in the mix next. Any comments, suggestions or criticism (constructive for preference!) gratefully received. Replicater - Are Friends Electric.mp4

Some sound advice there. I have a little room left on there so might squeeze a Big Muff and/or and octaver in there, but I'm not planning on going crazy (famous last words!)

It is little but still good. I'm sure it will grow more once funds allow!

A case of Grolsch is the usual trick, isn't it?
