Worked for the Stones. Especially Wyman. It’s why they hired him. His amp had inputs for all.

A couple cheap shotgun mics and an old Zoom recorder are far more effective than you might think.

Donnie, maybe the sound guy can record a piece for you next time?Well, @BklynKen I recorded a couple things this morning on my iPad from about where I stand. Even recorded part of a song. Sounded awful. Nothing at all like it really sounded. With just me it sounded like I turned the bass down to about 9:00 and with the song the bass was buried by instruments and singers. Got to talk to the sound guy. Those people are covering me up.
(Assuming they don’t record as a matter of course now?)

Is this using the Discobass? It has a distinctive sound, similar but unlike a couple other basses I could mention. Nice extrapolating.
When in a free-form jam, I find myself in a similar neighborhood - holding down the roots, but adding melodic content. If I were in this jam with you (two bass players which I've been a part of in the past) I'd be holding down the basics when you would free-form & visa-versa. I enjoy both options and if the other bass player favors one or the other - I head in the opposite direction!

Did you see that Bill Wyman doc made a few years ago? It was the kind of film that only either a bass-player or hard-core Stones fan would watch.

no. Will have to chase it down. Thanks.
I used my old Peavey head that way on one occasion. Not for a gig, however.
We used to record from the board, but few were that interested so we stopped. The way it sounds through FOH (and the EQ looked) it didn't sound much like bass. One reason I refuse to give up my head and cab. At least I can pump out some lows that way.
Funky. Nice groove(but aren't you s'posed to warn us that there'll be a bass solo?
)

Yes that is the Discobass. I took out the stock wiring and changed it to VV (no room for a tone) with 500k pots.Is this using the Discobass? It has a distinctive sound, similar but unlike a couple other basses I could mention. Nice extrapolating.
Oops you’re rightFunky. Nice groove(but aren't you s'posed to warn us that there'll be a bass solo?
