    Favourite under the radar bassist

    Chester Hansen of BADBADNOTGOOD. I had to get rid of the overbearing font.

    Would you play gigs with a band that doesn't have a great PA?

    BL sounds like an ass. Fire him and get the other people to start a new band. Sounds like you are all good players, and get along. The money will come soon enough to equal what you make now.

    NBD: Spector Euro 5 Needs A Preamp

    Does it actually need a preamp? That's where I'd start. How does it sound as-is?

    Your Nom de Plume / Handle or Pseudonym used here

    Kaa was my favorite character in "The Jungle Books". Wise, and calm. Polar opposite of me in real life. My avatar is Sam The Eagle from the Muppet Show, because I'm just as disappointed in people as he is.

    Markbass modded combo extension cable question

    Have someone here make you one? Lots of great solderers around, and they would know exactly how to make the best one for what you want. Might run a bit more, but, hey, we spend thousand on custom basses, so why not? Lol.

    Recommendation on how to add warmth to tone

    Besides suggesting twisting knobs on bass/pedal, one thing I'm discovering via YT videos is the impressive power of an EQ pedal. There's on example vid of a 10-band that shows how much you can really dial in and out sound-wise.

    What's your rig of choice for this weekend? Part 2.

    That's not a dump, it's relic'd.

    I keep looking at Aria SB and Kawai basses from the 80's...

    I had a Kawai RSB105(?) with the Koa body and graphite neck. It was a phenominal bass, Schaller hardware and pickups. One in a long list of basses I should have kept.

    New Aguilar 210 Combo vs Micro VR 210 Mini Stack

    On the aesthetics of the Aggie combo, if it is primarily a studio amp, the controls make sense, since a lot of studio time is done sitting. You can just reach over to tweak, whereas, with top mounted controls you may need to do some stretching/twisting to reach them. (From the seated position.)...

    Peavy TNT 150 Low End Farting

    Lol. Look up my frequent rants on heavy amps with one stupid strap handle.

    Peavy TNT 150 Low End Farting

    I had the disintegrated foam in my Combo300, cleaned it out (using very poor technique that gave AgedHorse some heart palpitations, lol), and the fartiness went away. Also went in to the amp and made sure all the molex plugs were reseated well.
