‘Water always finds its natural level ‘ …

In reading this thread I feel drawn in to respond on one point, Possibly, you can re think the idea ‘we are a democracy’ and from that I offer, don’t be afraid to assert yourself in leadership. Hopefully you can salvage the situation and good luck ?

For me, good music is not defined by genre. It took me lots of years to understand and respect that. I love live music and nothing better than seeing a good band.

I love the fender 7250’s. I am in Australia and 40-100 are hard to find.

Yep, that’s a good set up. enjoy

the 4ohm will deliver 300 and the 8 ohm 150 If you requested a 4ohm, I would ask GC if they could swap it. the other option is that you could purchase another MB 8 ohm and when you need to use the extra cabinet, you then get to the 300 rms at 4 ohms but if the one cabinet serves your...

My 2012 American standard Jazz, currently wearing tort, and strung with rotosound steel …haven’t had her out for a while as I have been busy with ‘P’ … but did a show before Christmas with her and we are now back ‘dating’ …

And what genre, Are you pick, fingers or both What rig and how do you rate this bass if you use it at live gigs ?

Ok, so here goes, Have been away from this forum a while and figured to reply your post. I agree with the responses above, and add, I wouldn’t take a ‘brutal’ approach … picking is a craft that takes a lot of work and effort to grasp effectively. down strokes provide a good solid...

concur with comments above by other people …. you mentioned above ‘many genres’ … so possibly you could try one that is totally out of your comfort zone … and focus on that for a period of time … or think about what, if any, aspects of your playing that you could improve on, and set some...
