That in a 4 string would be great in my Glam band. If it had a thinner neck 

Can i ask out of curiosity where do set the on board EQ. I tend to set mine flat (centre detent) on active basses and adjust my amp to suit and that gives me on board adjustment if needed quickly.

I only ask because i once read that Stingray players tend to turn the Bass and Treble up quite a bit almost full to get that distinct Stingray tone.

I like boosted mids. Starting from flat, I usually have the mids about three-quarters full, bass about a third of the way up and roll off the treble a fraction. Having said that, I've only had it for a few weeks and I'm still experimenting with different tones. I'll try cranking the treble a bit more next rehearsal.

 

Oh, and the Corstorphine branch of Guitar Guitar has the four-string in the same finish, if your credit card's feeling itchy 😉

Just got my Mesa TT800 after a 3yr wait and would find it hard to justify a new bass but it is tempting. I'm off for a wee look at their page.

I hate you for this @lozkerr

Don't listen to him, @lozkerr, he's using you as a smokescreen whilst he satisfies his own GAS!  We know you've been itching for a 'Ray for ages, Dave!

The TT is a great amp!
 

Have you been using both channels on gigs?

Not gigged it yet. Only arrived during the week. Need to wait until next Sat to test it at a gig. 

So far i'm liking the Boogie channel a lot and can get most of the tones i like just by adjusting the Sandberg VM4 EQ.

Was never able to do that with my other amps.

Dave.

Bass player front and centre as it should be. After all they are THE most important person in any band. 

Well done

I can see that fawn coloured shorts are your image hook there. 

So how was the gig and what gear were you using. ? Yes i am very geeky 

 

In both pics you look as tho you are focused on something or other.

Pic 1 i reckon you're thinking about what bass to use tonight.

Pic 2 "i should have brought the Jazz".

@dmccombe7 I played my Squier 40th Anniversary P-Bass strung with La Bella Deep Talkin’ Bass flatwounds through a Boss TU-3 tuner, an Ampeg OCTOCOMP and a Darkglass Microtubes B7K Ultra V2 XLR’d straight into the desk.  My only gig is playing in my churches Worship Team, it always sounds great and the shorts are always tan 😁👍🏻

Ped, a bassist so legendary, that even his personal photographer has his own photographer to take photos of the photographer...
