    Weak signal received from the bass player at the mixer (SoundcraftUi24R)

    The signal travels from the passive bass, through some pedals, into a DI, 40' XLR to 75' snake to SoundcraftUi24R mixer - input channel 1. I'm going to replace the 40' cable with new. Any suggestions to improve the signal strength appreciated.

    Anyone else becoming a bass snob?

    Im starting to be specific in what I want in a bass. I don't like maple fretboards. I specifically like rosewood, I really notice the difference. Big time. Also I like P basses and PJ basses exclusively. Not a fan of the jazz bass or the double humbucker thing. They sound cool when other people...

    Are you a bass player that sings or a singer that plays bass?

    I'm been in a band for over 10 years where we have a great lead singer. Our keyboard player and drummer sing most of the back up. In this band I'm a bass player that occasionally sings back up. About 2 1/2 years ago I joined a band where I share singing duties with the guitar player. I...

    Who was the bass player on Bellamy Brothers - Let your love flow?

    I was wondering, was it Reinie Press (from the Neil Diamond band)? Very tasty playing and entertaining bass lines to put on a simple 3 chord song:

    Is bass player usually the techie guy in the band?

    That's been my experience at least in the 15 or so bands I've been in over the years, and guitar players in particular seem to be bad at simple troubleshooting. I played a show a few weeks ago with a band that was a throw-together. Keyboard player had 2 new mixers which he had to use because...

    First Post- Not a Bass Player, just a guy that plays bass.

    Just found this forum.. I’m NOT a Bass Player, just a guy that plays bass. Maybe? On Friday afternoons, I put on my Ramones (1st album) record which is great because it’s “stereo” so on one channel it’s all guitar, drums and vocals, and on the other channel it’s all bass, drums and vocals. So I...

    Ideal bass player appearance

    Below, on the left, is how I always envisioned my ideal bass player to look. (pictured here with his main squeeze girlfriend, in the violet getup.

    Suggestions welcome. I'm researched out. Sound and versatility at top of my list. Wouldn't hurt either if it weighed less than an oak tree. Really looking for unlined, but lined is OK, and side dots would work.

    Mel Schacher what a bass player!!

    Been listening to some Grand Funk Railroad all morning. Mel what a great freakin' bass player. Every time I listen to Mel I know why he made me want to play bass. There are a lot of other bass players I look up to. But Mel made me pick that bass guitar up and become a bass player.
