My main bass is a MIJ Geddy Lee Jazz bass from the mid-late 2000s, and I play that with Rotosound Swingbass66 strings. I have a Tech-21 GED-2112 Sansamp and a Trace Elliot GP12X (distorted sound and clean sound) which I blend to get the bass sound I want. Those go into a Palmer PDI-05 speaker simulator. It's a similar setup to what Geddy used in the Test for Echo era, which is my favourite tone of his. Here is my Youtube for anyone interested: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4dlAoqg21GSUqNZX3GuA9w Thanks for the link! will geek out later. What vintage is your Ricky btw? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what a Bass Bash is, but it sounds like something I would enjoy. Always love seeing peoples bass gear. I'm based in SW London!

I sold it on here last year. Decided after 10+ years of battling with it I would just stick to Jazz basses from now on haha. They just suit me too perfectly. It's a 1978 which I purchased in about 2010ish if I remember right. It sounded great (if that Ricky sound is what you are going for which I loved more than anything when I was younger), but I just ended up preferring both the tone and the feel of my Jazz bass in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm based in SW London! The South East bash would be your closest, here's the thread from the 2023 one. Sounds like it would be right up your street, and I can guarantee that you would be more than welcome. If you fancied the drive, you'd be most welcome at the always-fabulous South West Bash too..! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a long time in Genesis tributes so the Ricky had its time and place and more than adequately did the job. However since I've moved on from that world, the Jazz gets a lot more of the action these days. (Still got the Ricky though) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few things, and I'm not sure how much of it was the venues fault, and how much of it was the artist I was playing for: there was almost no push from the organiser (the venue), so the sum total of audience members consisted of the four bands; it was freezing cold; whilst the stage sound was great, the lack of audience (and the roof being the underside of a multistory carpark) made for 'interesting' acoustics; they wouldn't tell us the order of the bands in advance (I believe because they feared there would be no-one there if everyone just turned up for their slot). Everything else was pretty minor, like the venue looking closed from the outside so noone would even consider going in if they didn't already know of the event!
