What bass/basses will you be gigging this weekend?

[Lance Bunyon]

I split the gig. Set one on MF 6 string fretless acoustic.
Set 2 on EBMM Bongo 5 HH.
Fun show!

My latest fav.
Stereo, tapped pu's. My own creation.View attachment 5232290View attachment 5232291

I'd play that with just the neck pickup and it would thump!

Old school goodness! And lightweight too!

I played a gig last night on this one that I built myself. Since this photo I've added a series/parallel switch. It sounds great and the neck - a cheap chinese one that was unusable until I had the heel planed flat - is a delight to play. I'm very happy with it. It's my second attempt to build to my own specs.

It looks like she has some age on her. ?

It's 100 years old. Not old by upright bass standards, but still much older than any bass guitar…

She has a sweet, mellow sound that is loud and proud.

I'm bringing my Ibanez ATK805 that I got last month and a Jazz V Player+

I hadn't gotten a chance to gig either bass and the Ibanez ATK805 was awesome. Perfect tone and balance with the fastest neck I've ever played. The Fender Player Plus suffers from terrible neck dive so, I'll have to replace the tuners with some lightweight ones before I take it out again.

I'd play that with just the neck pickup and it would thump!

Sometimes I do that!

Ibanez Mikro 5, EMG pickups, LaBella flatwounds. Great for Salsa gigs in 38º weather outdoors when you can't even move your plucking hand and you have to "cold hammer" ever single note for two hours.

sadly, none. I had surgery a week ago (nothing earth shattering) and recovery will keep me off the stand for another week.

Gigs and a few scheduled sessions start back up in Nov and I'll definitely be using my Lull M4V. I'll also get to crack out the URB on a Celtic-ish session just before Thanksgiving, so that'll be cool.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

What strings do you have on that Fender uke bass?

I have the Aguila Copper Flat Spirals. Sounded pretty good at the gig last night.

 

[BassBrass]

Wow I wasn't expecting that lol. Usually people focus on the basses. So yes there is a loft upstairs that overlooks the living room and dining room. It's not a dog statue, it's supposed to be a Cheetah. IDK if the plant is the same one we still have and IDK if the pot was thrown away. It's a pretty old picture.

I did focus on the bass, as soon as I read the model. Usually bass photos have less curious background details. Usually people are not interested in that bass because of the warlock/harpoon motif, (although being near Halloween it's more appropriate), but you aren't afraid. I applaud that. They have great tone. May you run as fast as the elegant cheetah.

I think I'll bring my Schecter Raiden Special-4 to church on Sunday. Passive, V/V/T with a push-pull tone pot for switching humbucker or single coils. I run it in humbucker mode all the time because it's kind of noisy otherwise. Currently strung BEAD with Ernie Ball Coated Slinkys. This bass plays great.

If I close my eyes and picture a Sadowsky, this bass is what I see.

Thank you, it is an old one (2001) but is the one that literally plays by itself.
I have many basses, which are all good. However, when the gig calls, this one gets picked up 80% of the time.

 

[Jugghaid]

Tonight will be the MTD 535-24 and the Wilkins Cayenne through the Mesa Prodigy/Berg NV212 rig with the Helix for effects.

 

[Hot Rats]

I'll be using my new to me Gibson DC

 

[msb]

Those DCs are great basses.

I've become a shortscale guy over the years. Started when I picked up a Dano Longhorn close to 25 years ago.
Tomorrow night I'll be mostly using a UniVox HiFlier Mosrite copy as the main one , but I'll also bring the Longhorn and use it for some tunes.

 

[msb]

I put on a chrome cover and surround , but I think it was the Jazz knobs that made the biggest difference!
