Exactly, the term FRFR is one I would never use outside of the guitar and bass world - might have been better to simply say that I want an active PA speaker to use as an amplification solution for my modeller, as that is what I'm after. The reason I would need to mess with cab emulations if I...

I'm using FRFR as a bass/guitar specific term here (I want an active speaker simply) but I do not want to go down the combo amp route. I want to use my modeller and not have to muck around with changing cab emulations depending on if I'm on an IEM or self-amped gig, and the speaker will also...

Hi all! I currently run a TC BH250 head into the BC208 cab as my amped setup, on its own for practices and small gigs, through to front of house for larger gigs. I also run a modeller DI for gigs with silent stages or in the studio. I want to simplify the setup and just run my modeller through a...

Great tone. The SRH is probably top of my list for this role at the moment. I love the side lines for the fret positions, and the ability to still get intonation adjustability and individual string height adjustment on a piezo instrument. Part of me feels like, spending that much on one, it...

I've had a few comments on basses - my old Stagg electric upright always got comments, but because people wondered what it was. I've had positive tone comments on many of my basses (always those with flats, though) and two criticisms - both of these were when using active 5 strings (never my...

For sure - I played fretless with the band for a while, and loved the sound and feel. I also hated having to do so much sight reading on fretless lol, and going to fretted felt like such an easier step haha! But I would love to move back to fretless.

I would adore a Rob Allen if I could! Same thing for the Godins ultimately, this gig doesn't make me any real money as the band is a co-op so hard to justify. The sire is another great idea, though - definitely an affordable option.

A great point, for sure. As I did a lot of playing on upright in years gone by, I definitely make a switch to 'upright' playing mode for this band. Just still feel I want something that accompanies that style well.

I've eyed them up before! If budget wasn't a concern, or I was making money from this bass, I'd probably consider it. As it is, my Maruszczyk makes the money as my function/wedding band bass - the big band runs as a co-op and is tons of fun (and gets a lot of gigs) but doesn't bring in money to...

I use a TC amp and cab - the BH250 with a BC208 cab at 8ohms, plus another 208 to run it at 4ohms. It's brilliant. I play a lot of gigs DI using a modeller, so the amp covers rehearsals, small gigs and anything where I want on stage monitoring that's not in-ear. The tone is transparent and...

Nice, I love the low tension labellas, tempted to try TIs but so expensive!

Didn't even think about reverb - will definitely try this. I do a lot of the palm muting thing when I need a DB sound in my wedding band sets, was hoping for a more convincing sound for full sets hopefully

Interesting - I did use a jazz bass with rounds like this for a short period, but struggled to get a convincing midrange. Do you boost mids, and if so what freq range?

Very few of our pieces have scored arco parts - when they do, I usually use the volume pedal on my multi effects to swell in the sound as an approximation. Would use a bow if I had the option. I used an epi jack casady with the group for a while, but it sounded remarkably more 'p bass' than...

Nice to know about the nino. My dad actually made me a similar mute a while back when the nordy wasn't available in the UK, I might get another from him to fit my 4 string. I used this approach for a while, but recently traded in two basses to get a dream bass (gorgeous custom made Maruszczyk...
