wateroftyne Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) Hi all! I've just been sent a rough unmixed soundboard feed from a festival I did last summer with my 'other' band. I think they show off the Wizard Thumper pickup pretty well, so I thought I'd post 'em for future reference. Basically... LaBella Flats > '73 maple Precision > Wizard Thumper > EBS Microbass II The signal is a combination of post-eq DI from the Microbass and a mic on my Schroeder 21012L (I'm not sure what the ratio of the two is).

GreeneKing Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Nice solid P bass tone there. Thanks for the warning, wasn't too bad, no Lampton Worm! Quote
neilb Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Lovely pics mate, beautiful venue. Love outdoor gigs!! Quote
LukeFRC Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 unfortunately iMac speakers dont like bass frequencies so i was disappointed to only hear the folkiness not the bass-ness! Quote
99ster Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Mmmmm... Bloody Lovely tone! That's a PROPER bass sound! [i](I can run it through my ProTools rig & appreciate the splendid bass goodness on some rather lovely SONY MDR-7509HD headphones...)[/i] Quote
wateroftyne Posted March 5, 2008 Author Posted March 5, 2008 Cheers, folks! It's not bad for a fairly raw feed. Lambton Worm?? Good Lord... that's from the wrong side of the river...! Quote
GreeneKing Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 I'm assuming from my brief sojourn in Gatesheed many moons ago that's South then Quote
OldGit Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Great sound ..hummm GAS for flats is growing Actually the whole thing sounds great. Top flight Turbo Folk! That sounds like a really good drummer to play with Quote
Count Bassy Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Would that drummer be the Ray Laidlaw of Lindisfarne fame? Talking of which, nice to see several of their tunes in the set list. One of my favorite bands of the time. Clive Quote
wateroftyne Posted March 5, 2008 Author Posted March 5, 2008 Hi folks! The very same Mr. Laidlaw.. he's one of my all-time favourite drummers, and a bass-player's dream...! I'll post a link to a performance of one of the 'classics' later... but don't tell anyone... :-) Quote
wateroftyne Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 Oooh.. forgot to post this. The intro is long, but... it's fun when the tune kicks in. [url="http://www.jollybeggars.co.uk/penguinz/fott.mp3"]This is my '71 fretless P.[/url] Quote
