  1. I know it sounds petty but I have a gig for the Wells Jazz collective Jazz Jam this Sunday https://www.facebook.com/share/p/191rM9n1JM/?mibextid=wwXIfr 

     

    I’m still not sure which instrument to take.I’m trying to develop more of a sound and facility on the upright but still dig the sound of the electric even in jazz I personally feel taking the Eub is cheating.The fretless gives me more melodic freedom and kind of has that upright sound.The fretted works when some one calls a groove based tune. I’m not the sort of person who displays their entire instrument collection on every gig so I really I’ll have to think this one through. I know the worlds going to shit and I’m  talking about this.Diagnosis please 😆😆👍🏽🙏🏽

      If I were you I'd take the acoustic, as that is likely to be well received at a jazz venue. If you're not comfortable playing it, then the fretless precision.

    Can’t wait to get back out there with this show 👍🏽👍🏽
     

    On April 22nd 1959 at Columbia’s 30th street studio in New York City, Miles Davis completed his iconic album ‘Kind of Blue’ The album features Davis’s ensemble sextet consisting of saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, pianist Bill Evans, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb, with Wynton Kelly appearing on the track ‘Freddie Freeloader’ The album was released on August 17th 1959 and sixty years on is still one of the most successful jazz albums of all time. Now, you can experience this album recreated LIVE onstage with a cast of outstanding jazz musicians.
    A terrific concert by five superb musicians.  A nice selection of Davis be-bop in the first half, and then the album performed flawlessly in part 2 with scored sections recreated exactly and fabulous improv that captures the mood of the album.

  3. Yes unfortunately music like other professions entails people & egos.I’m currently running one but luckily having a background in music Ed has helped me to encourage and deal with different types of people. I’ve found that the really good players are so easy to work with whereas the less talented can sometimes cause problems not all but some. I tried going to one in London years ago and was given daggers just for waiting my turn at the side of the stage.This isn’t why I entered into the world of music & as far as I’m concerned those type of people can go f*** themselves life’s to short !
  4. Yeah they do look good and really well priced, the bumpf indicates they’d be a higher output the my existing one. Thanks 🙏🏽
  5. yes can’t find any lovers of Ali express here 😆 I’m still in two minds re the mod and a few things to consider the position is quite close to the bridge so maybe that’s the issue ? Done
  6. Ok that’s handy to know. I’d read that Alnicos because of their content had a higher out put.The roswells on the HB are ceramic that’s why I was considering an upgrade grade. Strangely enough I forgot to raise them (as someone mention on this is thread) to see if there would be a marked different, so I’ll try that first. I’m glad I started asking around here though 👍🏽
  7. Hi Thank you all for your suggestions. Just to clarify I’d love the option of having a pbass and stingray at my disposal in one bass but this isn’t the bass for all the reasons you’ve all so kindly mentioned. Not even sure the Sandberg California which this bass is modelled could do that either ?) my issues have been the imbalance in out out between the 2 sets of pups I’ll look at the Warmans and Wilkinson’s then thank you all for your input 🙏🏽👍🏽
  8. Why not get the EBS Stanley Clarke and a Realist and blend them? This Will give you the best of both worlds and with independent HPFs you can tweak the tone and avoid feedback. Appreciate this probably adds another few hundred quid onto your search for tone but perfection isn’t cheap!
