Lozz196 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Interested in industry standards for different genres, some aspects may change for individuals but let’s try and keep to the general set ups.

Nail Soup Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I find these kind of list pretty useful. I don’t enjoy the process of trying out and selecting gear…. so would be easier to go for something tried and tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Post Punk. Anything you like. Ideally something so obscure that (in the late 70s and early 80s at least) nobody other than the most ardent gear nerd had heard of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) This thread is not for me - I would turn up to a country or acoustic gig with a BC Rich Mockingbird or something because I'm a stirrer I'm an industry standard stirrer, if that helps?

jazzyvee Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Almost every gig I've been provided with a bass rig that all the bands use, or festivals I have been to watch the bass rigs have mostly been some kind of Ampeg, next popular would Ashdown with about equal measures of Eden and Markbass. So I would say Ampeg rigs are still the standard for most genres. As for instruments FSO's are still the ones I see mostly on stages, on tv concerts or videos, regardless of genre so I would again think they are still industry standard. That said there are obviously individual variances and my setups are far from industry standard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rasher80 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 3 hours ago, ianrendall said: 90s indie/britpop. Epiphone Rivoli Not sure I'd agree with this... The majority of the major players, especially in the britpop era, tended to gravitate towards P, J or MM. Oasis (original bassist) - Jazz/Tele Blur - P/MM Elastica - MM Pulp - P/J/MM Travis - P Radiohead - P/MM Shed 7 - P/MM Mansun - J The Verve - J etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Back in the day, the standard rig around our corner of West London was a Marshall 100 watt head through a Marshall 412 cab. 2 cabs if you were rich or had a deal. The only "standard" I've seen would be the touring SVT/810 backlines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
