Just travelling back from my gig. I used my black Europa/?lan bass and my bass rack. The venue was supposed to have a back line so i didn't need a speaker cab. As it happened they didn't have a cab so I went direct from f1-x d-I out into the pa and used the stage monitor for my stage sound. Unfortunately my monitor was crackling so not a good sound for me but the next band on after us were extremely complimentary about my bass playing and the sound of my bass. I took it as a genuine compliment because they are pro full time reggae musicians that I've toured with in the past as guitarist and they had no idea I was also a bass player.
As it happened the gig went fantastically well.

Glad your gig went well Jazzyvee! Sorry you had a bad speaker, but hopefully your bass sounded great out front. I'm sure it did! It's great to get recognized by your peers!

Haha, good observation...... :-) Bristol is about 85 miles or so from Brum so not that far really maybe a couple of hours in the van.

I hope the weather picks up as it's an outside gig.

Series I going on it's first public outing this evening. Taking my Bocate Europa 5 as well since there are a few marcus miller tracks in the set and with the neck pick up close to the bottom of the neck on the series I bass i can't guarantee accuracy when double thumbing.... so... more practice needed. Plus I can get closer to a fender ish sound with the bocate bass.

I'd love to see the Not Strictly Jazz Quartet Little long for an over night drive though ;o) The flyer looks great! Are you going to do any live videos that you could post up? Or put on Soundcloud?

Good luck w/ the shows!

Series II getting it's first full length gig tomorrow night at the Yardbird Jazz Club in Birmingham, England. It's a venue frequented by almost as many musicians as regular punters so I should get some feedback to help me judge the difference between what I hear on stage and what can be heard out front. The gig i did the previous week with my Series I , there was a small vocal pa so my cab was providing sound into the room as well The engineer said there was masses of bottom end and top end but I could have done with more mid range to give it punch. There is a proper pa at tomorrow's venue so I hope to get a much better out front sound.

How did the Series work out for you?

jazzyvee · « **Reply #29 on:** May 17, 2013, 10:42:32 AM »

Hi Edwin, sorry for the delay getting back to you. The Series I bass sounded great but I'm still trying to get the hang of it. As the last gig I did with it was reggae I kept the neck pickup as the majority of the tone with it's filter off and dialled in some of the bridge to change the overall tone of the bass. However this also up's the volume so I have to then wind the neck pickup down and also the bridge to keep the relative balance.
Times like this the pan pot and master volume is a blessing. :-)
But I have them the way they are and have to get used to it.

Got some major outdoor festivals this summer so that may be a good place to get a good blast with them both.
