A little August bump to see if we can catch a few more BC bands 😊

Firstly, forget about tone that comes with experience. Agree with everyone else really, purchase the bass that feels right and comfortable and easy to play and not by what it says on the headstock.

Our guitarist uses one of them. Does make quite a difference. Dave -
A bit of an unusual one! I bought this bass made from high quality parts from the Bass Gallery for just shy of £800 a few years ago. - Shuker Custom Neck - 33” scale, rock maple, satin finish (slightly worn), 2mm side dots, carbon fibre reinforcement, two way truss rod, spalt rosewood fingerboard, flat radius, slight asymmetric carve, medium, Stainless Steel Frets - 38.5mm Graphite Nut - Hipshot D-Tuner - worn Fender Jazz Body - 2 x Di Marzio DP 149 Ultra Jazz Pickups (hum-cancelling) - Pickups Mounted In Adjustable Rosewood Ramp (flat radius/profile to match the fingerboard) - Babicz FCH Bridge - Weight: I don't have a scale unfortunately. It feels like an average jazz, I'd say on the lighter side of average. Definitely not a heavy bass. - Overall condition: obviously relic'ed, but this is only cosmetic. No structural issues, everything is solid. Asking £675. Collection in Cambridge preferred. I'm also in North London fairly often. Shipping is possible but there is no case with this bass. No trades unfortunately. Thanks!

Greg Edwards69 started following TC RH750 worst amp ever

To be fair and accurate, TC and Behringer are both subsidiaries of Music Tribe, along with a number of other brands such as TurboSound, Klark Teknik, Tannoy and Midas. Although Uli Behringer is the founder and chairman... draw from that what you will.

Afternoon All, I'm after some recommendations for a decent bass related read while I'm sat by the pool (having been dragged away reluctantly by my wife to the med for a week). Previous years have seen me enjoying Geezer Butler and Geddy Lee's autobiographies. The Bastard Instrument was also great. Basically (all puns intended) anything bass/rock related to keep me sane while I'm not able to plug my bass in and play along to what ever I'm listening to. Any suggestions please folks??

UK Subs on Friday evening at Wacken. I was intending to watch Papa Roach but given the swamp in front of the stage and how far back I was I decided to see who else was on and stuck with them. I enjoyed it more than Papa Roach to be honest even though I don't know any of their stuff.

Marvin Gaye - Distant lover 28 James Jamerson transcriptions! 17x Marvin Gaye. 6th from the "Let's get it on" album.

Lots of personal preferences. I also write what works best for me on stage. I like to see the structure of the song immediately. The key signature gives me a basic hand positioning, etc.. I'm pretty sure the repeat is exactly the same here. I will have another listen. I don't use repeats either if there's more than 1 note different.
-
Agreed. I've load loads of their stuff and never had a problem. Always quick to answer questions too. And unlike other companies they actually lowered their prices when supply chain issues got better. The rest just left them high.
-
My problem is that there were no tabs in my youth. Therefore I never learned to read them well. It is easier to read notes, because that's how I was taught. All notation still lack lots of things starting from sounds.

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
Leonard Smalls replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
We had our final rehearsal before Rebellion Festival - we're playing on Sunday twice... I was a bit worried before that we lacked practice, and this would result in sloppy, missed or messed up changes (we have quite a lot!), or songs would be started at dirge-like pace when they're meant to be punkfunk stompers. However, if it goes like last night we'll have no problem at all; Knockout stopped on 3 as it should, there was distinct variation between the funky chorus, punk verse and funkabilly middle 8. All 9 changes in Reaper were perfect, Conspiracy had a millisecond tight ending, and I'd managed to download the filthiest bass tone from Line6 which worked surprisingly well with my Parker bass. However, after some solo fiddling this morning (Keep your filthy minds out of the gutter!) I've decided to use my Sandberg through a tube driven Aguilar sound with a spot of reverb and chorus which clanks'n'danks like a Sherman tank dragging a chain over a steel pontoon bridge. I'll probably change my mind again though! - Today

An important piece of the puzzle hath arrived... Existing screw holes lined up and the screws went in good and tight - like I never sold the previous bridge in the first place... Now I can see about setting the neck the appropriate amount into the body - I suspect it'll need to go back towards the bridge a few mm. Might as well do it now whilst the neck pocket is comically oversized anyway...

I used to own a Classic 450. The problem I found with it, was that the low mid control had almost no effect on the sound. After I bought it I went back to the shop and tried the display model and the low mid on that had the same issue. I sold it and bought an Ashdown ABM head, which had a very effective low mid control.

From what I was told , it seems like a 50/50 chance of having to pay it. Tbh, I don’t understand fully the duties/ taxes etc . It’s different buying from the USA on eBay etc as the total is generally worked out . Let us know if you proceed .. -
Nice board! I like the look of the Boss. I assume the Octaver is solid- what about the envelope filter?
-
Nothing wrong with Behringer. Their customer service is excellent from my experience.
