A compressor/sustain pedal can help even out the unwanted dynamics too

How about a bit of Pino or Jaco (a la Joni Mitchell era) style fretless thing? Works really well over space IMO.

We had a sound problem last night, whenever our conga player jumped around, there was a loud crackle, which turned out to be the XLR from my amp DO to PA. anyway the other guys spent the first set fiddling, tugging, tweaking in between each song trying to find the cause that we struggled to...

Done. Good luck

I agree with^. I saw Dylan at Juan-Les-Pins Jazz festival years ago in France and he was so bad I was angry. When I walked out, I remember that although I couldn't see him any longer, I could sadly still hear him as I walked away. Worst ever, including drunk buskers.

Thanks. Just got it back from the workshop. I bought it 20 years ago from Ronnie Rae Snr (top double bass player in Scotland). I ripped the frets out after discovering Jaco, but the inlays caused too much buzz. This bass then sat in my garage since then. Got it refretted, neck sanded and...
