Can't tell you how many times they've said I had to mix the band to your bass, perfect is my usual reply. Medium sized venue, no one showed ...........was a charity gig. I don't think the bass is to loud
We did this in a group I was part of 71-72. I was playing a VOX Continental organ live. No sequencer, nothing. By the end of the tune my right hand felt like a foot. (I adjusted the drawbars with my left for tone changes.)
If I don't try the things I'm not supposed to, how do I know why I shouldn't do them?
That actually makes perfect sense.
Weather of the Sphinx?
I was checking out this Orange Bass Butler demo and there is a lot of Gibson/Epiphone representation in it. VP, JC, Grabber or Ripper, and an Epi NR.
This is a young band and we had a good crowd reaction. This band plays 80's stuff like tears for fears, the cure, etc and a odd lot of 90's alternative along with a few classic rock songs like wheel in the sky by Journey. I saw at least a couple of Jacksons in the super duper led flashing tip bucket. I never tipped a band that much. A fiver, sure. A bandmate from another band made the scene so I called her up to sing a few.
...and the back story on that neck diving one trick pony is that the song was supposed to last 8 minutes but the TBird headstock snapped off before then. Oh, and if you zoom in on the bass later in the song you can clearly see the horrible quality control on the botched finish. To top it all off, I understand the bass player paid twice as much for the TBird as he would have paid for a Fender P bass.Cool. Haven't heard that in a long time. So glad you posted that!
Thunderbird is a bonus. Clearly not a one trick pony. But did you see him constantly fighting that neck dive.
(....where's my meds, I thought they were right next to my Jazz bass along with my Kool-aide)
Hey, who doesn't like a bit of clank?
I don't dislike it. It is something like the GED-2112 from Tech-21. I don't think I will buy one, but I do think that the version 2 will be interesting and may be something I will want.
By the end of the video I was quite fatigued. Was checking to see how much was left (yes it's easy enough just to stop it but I was curious to see what other basses they might use).
Some of the dirty tones (particularly the later ones) were just way too much dirt and not enough clean for me. Still, interesting but I would wait for version 2.
Something very over-the-top might work if you used it with one of those efx loop/blender pedals, where you can mix a dry signal with your effect. But, for that much bread, I suppose you're better off to continue shopping.
