Mudpup Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Just fell over this last night whilst browsing youtube....... I used to quite like Simple Minds (around the New Gold Dream era i suppose) but felt they went off the boil long ago - looks like they've got their mojo back more recently This performance is awesome and has maybe my favourite Stingray tone - and Ged really nails the groove Derek Forbes brought to the band years ago [url="https://youtu.be/sh15VP1to-4"]https://youtu.be/sh15VP1to-4[/url] <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sh15VP1to-4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Edited May 19, 2016 by Mudpup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieC Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Yep, awesome bass tone and it works so well for these tunes. Saw SM live recently and the bass did sound like that out front.😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddys nose Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Saw Mel Gaynor at the weekend, He was playing a amazing 16th feathered bass drum pattern with only a single pedal, Amazing control and a great drummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I had this problem for ages too, Lozz. I bought (funnily enough seeing as he started the thread) Mudpup's USA SUB. It's a 2 band and sounds quite different to my old 3 band. In conjunction with more subtle EQ'ing (as opposed to the common method of maxing everything) I'm now getting that sound myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Stingrays are just IT when it comes to tone for me. No matter what the EQ is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E sharp Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 This is great . I've always been finger style only , and now trying to use a pick for the first time in 30 yrs . This is exactly the pick style I'm looking at - what a great player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged is playing pretty loose over the drums but they just sound so comfortable together - what a rhythm section! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a ridiculously good bass that I bought from you with the idea of having it as a good quality backup to my Warwick Streamer LX. It's turned out to be easily the equal of it and in some ways I prefer the SUB. So much of that Stingray vibe but ballsier! Absolutely bloody steal at the prices they go for!
