OldGit Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) First gig with the bass last Saturday .. A surprise scots wedding .. in that they didn't mention that the groom was Sottish .. This makes a difference in our Ceilidh Barn Dance band Still all went well. So how was the bass? Well objective number 3 was achieved when a lapsed bass player in the audience came up in the break to tell me how gorgeous the bass is, I'd noticed Playing-wise it's great. Everything's in the right place and the hang and balance are spot on for me. It's not as "normal" for me as its brother as I've been playing precisions (mostly) for 30+ years but it's certainly not as alien as most 5 string moderns I've tried. Now it's had a few weeks settling and a good thrash at a gig I'll get it fine tuned by Eltham Jones, my favourite bass fettling wizard. I just wish he'd get a workshop in Cardiff (where we both live) rather than out the back of Soundcontrol in Bristol... Sound wise, well, sorry I don't really know. Sure it was very acceptable but I didn't have the time to sus and sort it on Saturday (first time through my gig rig) Generally, being an old dog git, it takes me ages to get used to new things and I've made way too many changes at once this time - bass, compressor, and a re-programmed effects box. So I've decided I need to book some time alone in the rehearsal studio and get everything sorted as wedding gig sound checks are not really the time It will be fun anyway.
