    How do i get that Acoustic 370 /301 sound

    Probably been asked before, but anyone got advise on eq settings on my Hartke HA 3500 with 2x12 set up, i guess choose the solid state knob and cut anything below 500Hz.....is this right?

    How long should it take to nail "ONE Set" of songs for new band?

    This is it 100%. Personally for me it`s 2-3 weeks for 40 covers, but that means not only could I rehearse with ease but probably gig them at short notice.

    If you could take lessons from any bass player...

    I am heartened by the love shown on this site for Mars, despite being English himself I have never met anyone here in the UK who has the same admiration as me....a unique player.

    John Baldwin. Every time I have to write a line I think "What would John do?"

    Do you remember your first gig?

    Hmmm sounds ideal doesn't it ?....you pass the audition being who you are, what you play, and how you sound (get married)…. then they want to change you (being married).

    Why did you quit a band?

    I was spoilt once in a band where everyone did the homework.

    I find it rather puzzling when people say a Jazz doesnt cut through the mix..lol

    You are so right : you want P bass mix up the neck . you want Jaco the reverse . I normally do 80% neck 20% bridge . Cheap sound guys/gals are rife in UK and understand nothing..i have an industry standard Sansamp DI and I get a complete blank "what`s that, don`t you have DI from the amp?" In...

    Definitely room for both bucephylus, a great deal can be learned from copying Bernard Edwards one minute and Lemmy the next, in fact I challenge some of the "origionals only" bass players in lucky bands that have made it to cut the mustard in a dive bar with a terrible PA and a hostile audience...
