This is some mind blowing playing here folks.The only thing that is equal to Billy Sheehan's playing is his wonderfully generous personality.He is a gem of a person and absolutley at the top of his profession.

Thanks Mike, great hang! Thanks to the gang as well!

The Rio bass line is a work of art

Goergous! Wonder where it would be possible to get that beautiful pickguard? Looks amazing 😍

Lol .... Back in the day used to have a TE 8x10 combo now retired due to deafness & back problems - great review

0:10 - er, it’s just called a ‘Factor’ bass isn’t it? lol

The load in/out at Wardour St. O'Neill's was a killer, as were the traffic wardens!

Hi Mike, hope you're well? Quick question for you. I bought a new Spector Bass in May this year, it hasan ebony fingerboard. What cleaning/ conditioning product can you recommend and how often it needs to be applied. Im based in the UK. All the best 👍🏻

Hi Mike, Miss being on board for the lives. Had to decide between watching live or playing. No offense, but I prefer to play, and catch the reply. Enjoyed your rehearsal/44 song learning process for your upcoming show.

I'm a bit late to the party! I've got a B5 Element ( in black ) with the MarkBass preamp. It plays and sounds great after I set it up properly ( intonation on the G is challenging!). It's a fantastic bass! Plays beautifully and is one of those rare basses which sounds good whatever the pickup blend and eq is set at, and the passive sounds have a nice mid range. Balance and weight are perfect too! Despite having a gorgeous Shuker J5, Warwick Corvette 5 ( not RockBass) and Japanese Ibanez SDGR 5....the Cort is my "go to" gigging bass now. Massively underrated, and crazy value for money if you're prepared to set it up right

How does it compare to the new HX One?

Thank you very much for updating and sharing the music of this incredible band!!! Greetings from El Salvador

please get rid of the We're talking all things... BASS! banner

Think it would be possible to add a balance knob or maybe expand the modes available? Only thing I'm missing in this bass is the humbucker mode + neck single coil and a front coil + neck single coil mode

So you had them on the base for 14 months?

Nice video. What’s the settings / gear used to get the first tone ?

No worries about last week, SORRY I missed this week. Life has been busy, but hopefully I can catch you next week.

The ball ends of the E and G strings in the head are mounted incorrectly (twisted). Ball ends should be seated flat horizontally 👍🏼

Sire (Marcus Miller) also do some great jazz style bass guitars for around £500

Great video , love the teal colour …I’ve just got myself a second hand Stingray Special , great bass , but , a little noisy, thinking of getting the East and Aquilar pickup . I have a J Retro in a Fender Jazz , and it’s completely silent . Is that combination quiet ? As in no buzzing at volume?? Thanks for the video 👍🏻

Best bases under 500? Harley Benton duh! Every one of their bases are fantastic and well under 500.

What was the song being played live around 2:02:05?

That sound!!!! What are you playing this through?

Bob Malone!

On my Warwick Streamer ProM unfortanelly the tracking is awful, even 1 semiton, when i play the E string it keeps "searching" the note. I solve this problem putting my Boss Bass Limiter before the digitech, and compressing very Hard, but, by doing That, the sound change so much compared to the standard tunning. At the moment i dont have other basses to test, but i think the Warwick sound is too strong for the drop

Love the sound!

Great Live chat, great guest.

After thinking about it for a couple of years, I finally ordered one. I am NO fan of P-Basses, but this one is FAR better than any of the "real" Fender P-Basses I have tried, and I have tried quite a few. More recently, I gave Fender another chance and ordered a fretless Tony Franklin ($2200). The neck is unbelievable, a terrific fretless, but the tone? Meh, at best. I did an A/B comparison and the Profile (at about 1/3 the price) sounded so much better that it was unbelievable. I returned the TF for a full refund. If there is one thing I know for sure, I will NEVER sell my Profile. I play fretless more than fretted btw. Still, when I need that P-Bass tone, nothing sounds as good as that Profile. Definitely a keeper (I've been playing bass for over 50 years). To sweeten the deal, not that it was necessary, the Bass Centre threw in an autographed copy of Bruce's excellent book, Rough Notes and Grainy Images. A great read from an excellent author as well as bass player. I'd been playing bass for about a decade when I saw EC and the Attractions in person at Davis CA (which Bruce refers to in the book, to my surprise). Other than the great John Entwistle, I had never seen a player with such command of the fretboard. They would never have been as great a band as they were without Bruce Thomas. After seeing him, I absolutely wore out my copy of This Year's Model and learned so much from dissecting his lines. It says a lot that Bruce Thomas didn't just go and create a signature model for the money. He actually plays one of these. It says a lot for someone's character that he didn't want to charge an arm and a leg, but made sure the bass was affordable by a majority of players. Trust me, it's worth every penny! Thank you Bruce, and thank you to the fine folks at The Bass Centre. Also, this was one great demo of this outstanding bass.

I still have 2 Aria MAC Standard and Deluxe Guitars and I personally play nothing else live and an Aria SLB bass from the 90s I picked up in high school because you can always find a bass player if you own the bass and amp they can play. LOL I love Aria guitars and have converted another friend to their guitars as well.

Any experience with TC Electronic Toneprint? I bought a second hand head which came with their Spectracomp loaded onto it, turned it on at a gig the other day and suddenly the spectracomp had become an octaver! Haven't tried re-loading the compressor yet, but odd that this could happen.

I had to come back and watch the end, sorry I had to leave early. Great show, see you next week.

I have a 1980 Natural finish (not Oak like this one). Awesome sound, 11 pounds.... Xtra wide strap a necessity!

I love my sr300 but one of the pickups is giving me a bit of trouble. I think one of the screws is slipping and won't catch. I'm a beginner and kinda scared to disassemble my bass.

Cool spot Yo! Can't believe you haven't popped up in my feed til now just subbed!...I did so enjoy my month in London back in 2016 for the ch 4...

Hands down the Trace Elliot outperformed the Markbass, Gallien Krueger, Fender, Ampeg, and many others. When you see a Trace Elliot, yes it's expensive, but you get what you pay for.
