    Where do you stand?

    I’ve always positioned to the left of the drummer as it’s nearer his snare and high hat. Easier to see and communicate if needed. I know the drummer prefers it that way as well. In smaller venues, I also angle my amp towards him a bit as an extra monitor.

    Should I trade an American standard p bass for a 1983 Squier p bass?

    I respectfully disagree. I have never played a Squire that could hold a candle to an American made Fender. But that’s what makes life interesting.

    Should I trade an American standard p bass for a 1983 Squier p bass?

    That’s not a bad idea.

    Should I trade an American standard p bass for a 1983 Squier p bass?

    I wouldn’t make the trade. I’m sure others have mentioned that the American Standard Fender probably has a better build and better parts in every conceivable way compared to a Squire. A lightweight bass is certainly a compelling feature, but it doesn’t seem like a good trade for you. Fender...

    Who made the permanent switch to 5 Strings?

    It all depends on what you’re playing. No right answer. I play my 5 a lot, but I still love the 4. For some tunes, I prefer a 4 with drop D. It’s nicer to hammer an open low D on a 4 than hit the same D on a 5.

    How many ***backup*** basses do you bring to a gig?

    It’s a pain in the ass, but I always bring a backup bass. I’ve never needed it and hope I never do. Some people have written they maintain their basses well so only need one. That’s besides the point. Nobody wants to wait around to watch the bass player change a string mid-performance. And I...

    Threatened of being fired (from 2 bands) because I won't take a spare bass...

    I always bring a backup to gigs. I’ve never had to use it, but it’s insurance. If you like being in the band, bring a backup. If you’re looking for an excuse to leave these bands, that’s ok too. Seems the consensus from other comments is to bring the backup.

    That sucks. I’m really sorry for your loss.

    Does a 4-string bass become obsolete after picking up a 5-string?

    I've been playing a 5 string almost exclusively since picking it up. I wouldn't say a 4 string is obsolete at all. It depends on what you're playing. I particularly find I like hammering away at a drop-D open string that hitting the fretted note on the low B. It's personal preference ultimately.

    Half-Round vs Roundwound Strings

    I've been using Bass Boomers for many years.

    Half-Round vs Roundwound Strings

    Anyone out there have experience using d'addario half rounds in a hard rock, punk, alternative setting. In a band that plays pretty hard with two loud guitars and an even louder drummer. Roundwounds have been the obvious choice for years. Thought about trying half rounds to give my fingers and...

    Used Mike Lull question

    I agree with LeonD. That seems a bit high. If the bass is near mint, it might be worth it. I bought a passive P5 at the end of July. It's insane. Seriously, killer. You won't be disappointed.

    Distortion Pedals with low end?

    I agree that the Alpha Omega does a better job overall.

    Distortion Pedals with low end?

    I’ve used the Ashdown Nate Mendel double distortion pedal for a few years. Sounds great. I’ve also used and like the Darkglass Alpha Omega. Great as well.

    NBD! Fender Select Precision

    I have one of these as well. It's a killer bass. I love it.

    [Recommendation] 5 String (34"), 24 fret, 18mm SS, Lightweight, under 5K

    Hey. For your budget, you could probably get a custom bass built with any and all of the specs you mentioned. I have been playing a Mike Lull P5 which is just barely over 8 lbs and sounds awesome. It's got nice vintage looks and the passive sound is perfect for me. If you like the Sadowsky...

    Lakland USA or Mike Lull P5

    Thanks all for your input and comments. I picked up a Mike Lull P5 off Reverb. It arrived a few days ago. It's killer. Everything is perfect on the instrument. Very pleased. Peace.

    Lakland USA or Mike Lull P5

    Hiya. I have been playing a Fender Am Std P 5. I'm considering upgrading to either a Lakland USA 55-64 (vintage p5) or a Mike Lull. I imagine that they both will be excellent in all respects. Anyone have any recommendations/testimonials? Thanks in advance.
