I did the same thing with main bass... I ordered the bass without playing it. A G&L L2500 tribby but new.
I saw this video already. Can you believe he's only got one bass on the job? What if he breaks a string? What if a wire comes unsoldered?
Michael League is completely unprofessional.
Just kidding...I'm just making fun of all the noodniks on here who think that someone who doesn't bring two or three basses to every gig and makes sure they bring a boat with at least three basses to their bi-monthly gig at the Bucket O'Blood Tavern is unprofessional. And here's Michael leading a band that plays to more people in one night than most of the people on here play for in a year with only one bass.
Sometimes you just have to laugh...

Funny, I have gotten back into taking just one bass to church. There have been times I have had three. For perspective, I have never broken a string at church in twenty plus years, and I have only had to change a battery once.
I think about the tone in that video often and it ranks with other favorites I keep in mind.
A traditional Fender-style tube preamp into the effects return of a modern solid state power amp gets close enough for me. Dunlop flats help a lot too.

I see his right hand thumb-anchored, or palm-muting, or floating. I would aim to be that flexible.

Dunlop flats are ruling my world ever since joining a couple bands where flats are required. Well they're not really required officially, but I think they are. Got no interest in going heavy like Michael, and I'm darn glad they finally started making them in 40-100 a few months ago. But they are by far my favorite flats that I've used. They will fool you at first with how bright and ringy they are, but that doesn't last long and then they become nice and thumpy!
Michael League uses this trick...
The MXR M169 / M269 / M292 / M299 Carbon Copy pedals have a great chorus / doubling effect (modulation blue LED indicates ON) !
Push in the MOD switch to add modulation to your delay signal. Modulation width and speed can be adjusted internally with a 2mm slotted screwdriver (trimpots).
May the Groove be with you.
