MoonBassAlpha Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Or should that be spodding? Haven't spotted much interesting yet. Thom Yorke with a music stand though, surprised he didn't get bottled off Quote
spongebob Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Elbow man was sporting a Mustang bass on the brief bit I saw. Didn't get the chance to get any further detail, other than it sounded really good. Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted June 24, 2017 Author Posted June 24, 2017 I find it amusing that rock 'n' roll, wild, rebellious music () is so conservative in its choice of instruments. Caveat : only based on 3 hours of viewing so far! Quote
Mykesbass Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Pretender bass player had an interesting rig - two Ampegs with one 410 each, and a little Portaflex that didn't seem to be mic'ed up. Quote
spongebob Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Thundercat's skeleton trousers - reminicent of The Ox's outfit....think it was the 1970 Isle Of Wight? ...plus his usual 6-string Ibanez! Quote
spongebob Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 ....just watching his full set now. Mind-blowing. What a fantastic artist. Band is just superb. Such a change from the norm I've seen so far, with every rhythm section doing the same old. Quote
mep Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Nice selection of basses for Royal Blood. Edited June 24, 2017 by mep Quote
Mykesbass Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Humble Yamaha TRBX 304 or 504 being used by Songhoy Blues. Quote
pineweasel Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1498389439' post='3324210'] P basses - in EVERY band. [/quote] I'm here and I'm seeing far more Jazzes on the smaller stages. Quote

It's the only time I've seen someone on a big stage playing an instrument like what I have owned Odd though, the guy left the plastic bit that tells you which control is which. Quote
Marvin Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 One of the sisters of First Aid Kit was using a couple of Hofners and a Fender Mustang (not at the same time I might add). And a nice sounding set up through a Fender rig Quote
Raslee Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Possibly a Sire Jazz in the background with Craig David ? Quote

[/quote] Yep, spotted that too. Great sound (y) Katy Perry's bassist on a black jazz of some sort, maple neck. Some tasty fills on California Girls Edited June 25, 2017 by roceci Quote
acidbass Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Fender throughout for Royal Blood - custom Jaguars with huge mudbucker pickups, Starcasters and full Fender backline too. Superb gig Quote
NJE Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 I noticed more Rics this year and more Jazz basses. Definately spotted a Sire and the most exotic spot so far is Julio Hernandez with Barry Gibb playing a Nordstrand bass, looks wicked. Quote
ern500evo Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Our very own Bill Bass onstage with Rag n bone man, sporting his now customary Jazz 5 string. Fantastic player. Quote
spongebob Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 [quote name='NJE' timestamp='1498413812' post='3324404'] I noticed more Rics this year [/quote] Who was using them? I'll check them out! Quote
dannybuoy Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Ok, not basses but guitars. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (!) had 3 guitarists playing odd shaped guitars (Danelectro, Vox, etc) that had extra frets between certain notes so they could play some quarter-steps. For some songs they all switched to regular guitars with the front man on 12-string. Very odd, never seen this before, as the guitars appeared to be different makes I can only assume these were custom mods? Edit: Yup, this sheds some light on the subject: http://www.audiotechnology.com.au/wp/index.php/king-gizzards-lo-fi-gut-feeling/ Edited June 25, 2017 by dannybuoy Quote

[/quote]I stand corrected. I just wish one of the big acts would buck the trend and turn up with a dead posh bass. Quote
acidbass Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Jerry Barnes with Chic - Atelier Jazz thru 2 x Aguilar DB751 and DB410 - brill! Quote

At first I thought they might be using an electric Saz or something like that. Quote
KevB Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Just been watching King Gizzard... I have some of their albums so curious to see how they did live. I assume all their guitars are the same manufacturer as they all have that weird fret arrangement? Quote
taunton-hobbit Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 How long ago did Kaiser Chiefs stop sporting an Orange amp in the backline? Quote
