After a long hard night of METAL... Being accosted- in case you can't tell, she was really irritating. Is long hair cool? I like to think so...

AKG kick drum mic works well for getting the thump on a double bass (and also for micing bass cabs, or so I've been led to believe).

I'll get in on page 1 this time... Boss VF1 (used as preamp)-->[url="http://www.bkelec.com/HiFi/ClassD/ClassD.htm"]BK electronics 600W class D power amp[/url]-->Scott Sound Systems 1x15 cab. I'm getting very tempted into doing some ill advised DIY and attempting to make a couple of Bill Fitzmaurice Omni 10.5s to replace the 1x15 cos its crap. Wouldn't mind a Pod or something similar either- the VF1 is good for FX but the amp modelling and EQ is neither the best nor the easiest to tweak on the fly.

Oh my, that Shuker's one of the nicest I've seen. Lovely.

Worth noting (correct me if I'm wrong) that import duty is due on the cost of the bass plus shipping, and VAT is due on that total.

They must be quite long if you've got 10 feet between the ball end and the saddle Are you using Warwicks on your D, G and C strings as well?

Yeah it was a bit of a bastard of a situation from what I heard. Still, I'll catch them one day! Andy- keep us posted mate. Would definitely jump out to see you guys if you were round these parts

I think you should send it to me (with NS5 within) so I can approve your prize Please?

This sounds pretty cool- Interlock are a good band (although they cancelled their last Glasgow show) and I'm quite liking your Myspace tunes. Your drummer's amazing! Pity I'm not in London...

[quote name='slaphappygarry' post='526' date='May 17 2007, 04:50 PM']My dropper does not go as low as B. Dropping a string a whole fifth would drop tension across the neck enough to really mess up the intonation of the rest of the strings... So i dount they exist. Think mine drops E to about C sharp. Garry[/quote] E down to B is only a perfect fourth. E up to B is a fifth

FWIW my (allegedly indestructible) Peavey Mark IV is out of commission for exactly this reason. Be wary!

We need a montage.

Looking very slick so far chaps. Will Basstalk be allowed to die quietly then?
