That is pointy. (somebody has to simply state the obvious)

It’s ironic how a solitary pursuit becomes public performance. I’m thankful that I just worry about personal gear , I don’t worry about moving PA , band gear , or rentals. I’ve always been gigging , aside from the pandemic breaks , since the mid 70’s , and keep my gig gear by the door. So the first question is one cab or two , and fire the stuff in the car. Will I use a different bass or just run the regulars ? I rarely play outside of town so I’m going to expect to see some I’ve known for ages. I’ll probably meet some new ones. Some will look familiar. I mostly play the mid sized rooms downtown. Just a working stiff. No big star. If it’s a band that’s under rehearsed I might have some anxiety. That usually goes quickly after things get underway. There is something different about every time you play. And after all these years I still enjoy a good gig,

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
msb replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
It was the joy to play that got me , and so I bought some more short scales. And then began to realize that that’s what I was now mostly playing. So I have some vintage classic basses that are not getting much playing time. I just can’t see the point in selling them though because I certainly appreciate what they are. -
The SL cabs have a very pronounced mid range. Sometimes at home I give it a good scoop , it’s still a nice thick sound at quiet volume.

I don’t miss the early mornings after the late nights either.

That’s lovely , Andy! The trad scene is very much alive in NS.

I’m just a thumper , but have a bunch of old friends in the metal business. They like fresh strings and pedals. Their choice of basses actually is pretty normal.

They don’t give a damn about legal repercussions in the People’s Republic.

I feel strongly about the counterfeits of instruments that are truly designed to deceive , but these are easily spotted at a glance. I know that doesn’t make sense…

Dirty power/dimmer circuit causing weird Class D amp noises?
msb replied to doc40hz's topic in Amps and Cabs
My favourite dive downtown has the classic issues. Lots of neon signs around the stage , and there’s a couple of outlets the regulars avoid. I think the owner found someone who’d do some wiring for beer. And yet it’s my favourite venue. -

I’m a nacho man. -
Ringo also played some piano and guitar. And I’d bet was a better bassist than Lennon.

Never thought of him as a bass player. I’d bet Ringo was a better Bass player…

I’d been rooting around for a little TH for a while. The search is over. I like it.

msb replied to doc40hz's topic in Amps and Cabs
Neon signs can wreak havoc too. -
A friend recently bought an Ashdown in Texas , but the amp quickly had some issues and he had service problems. I was telling him the service in England was stellar. … back it went
