    "Brand new full size bass guitar by swift music london,there is some info on the web about them,as a promotion we are including a bag,strap and lead.maple neck,solid hardwood body,a lovely guitar at a ridiculous price" Great! There's some "info on the web about them". The title of the auction is 'Beautiful Pink Bass Guitar', so all I need to do is type that into Google, right? I'm sold.

    I had one of these amps a few years ago. What a monster! I sold it to someone on here, I can't remember who though. :wacko:

    Kennyrodg, if they are D'Addario flats, which it sounds like they are with the coloured ends, then they're what D'Addario call Chromes.

    Chris, it might be worth contacting Warwick. There is a support section on their warwick.de site.

    I really dig the D'Addario ProSteel sound too. I've tried all sorts of strings on my Warwicks' and been really into other brands for short periods of time but I've always come back to using Prosteel EPS190 (40-100's).

    Does anyone know what Colin Marston uses to get that gritty edge to his bass tone on Barriers and Passages? I can't figure out if it's amp drive, digging really hard with his pick or some kind of mellow/gritty drive pedal.. or maybe all three? Ed

    Bump for the price drop. DBX 160A £150, Behringer 2x10 £50.

    [quote name='1976fenderhead' post='294099' date='Sep 28 2008, 07:38 PM']For chorus: Tool[/quote] Is it a chorus pedal on quite a deep setting or a flanger pedal on a mellow setting that he uses for tunes like 46 & 2? I've never been able to figure that one out... sounds good either way though

    [quote name='bobbass4k' post='294276' date='Sep 29 2008, 01:11 AM']which kyuss basslines would you say use distortion? (sorry to go off topic, but i'm a kyuss fanboy)[/quote] In reference to Nick Oliveri, he just uses a 70's Ampeg V4 cranked up with a P-Bass that's had the volume pot taken out, going straight into an Ernie Ball volume pedal. From what I gather, that's pretty much all he's ever used.

    They're awesome in stereo Joegarcia, go on, you know you want to

    Korg are about to release a tuner with a built in time machine, featuring shiny blue lights.

    Korg DTR sold to Walbassist. DBX Compressor and Behringer Cab to go, roll up roll up!

    I'm in an instrumental 3-piece called Brux www.myspace.com/bruxband

    DBX 160A Compressor/Limiter - Mint condition, original packaging - [b]sold (pending)[/b] I highly recommend this for use with Markbass amps, I tried all sorts of compressors with my Markbass gear and none came close to how good this sounds when it's run last in the signal chain before the amp. I'm sure it sounds great with other amps too of course, Marcus Miller gives the 160A the thumbs up Behringer Ultrabass BB210 - Good condition, corner blocks are a little scuffed but the grill is immaculate, no dings or dents anywhere. - [b]sold[/b] 2x10 / 600watt / 8 ohm Ed

    Did you get my PM re: VFB2? I'll take it
  21. thumbo
    Thanks for the offer Higgie but I need the money. This amp would sound great through your 4x10 and 1x15 though!

    I presumed too much

    I've just finished recording with my instrumental band, Brux. We spent 2 days recording 7 live tracks, no overdubs, just a few live loops in places. We were just after a fairly decent live recording but it's come out far better than we thought it would for a hired scout-hut recording! Currently we've got 3 tracks on myspace (myspace.com/bruxband), I used my vintage P Bass for 'In Medias Res', going into a Marshall VBA400, Bergantino NV610 and using a Fulltone Bassdrive for dirt. The other two tracks on there are my Thumb Bolt-On with the same amp and cab. Cheers

    I'd like to hear some sound clips of this pedal, does anyone know of a good source for such a thing?

    [quote name='funkmunky' post='285490' date='Sep 17 2008, 12:00 AM']Hi, I notice you also have a Bergantino NV610. Could you tell me what the TA503 sounds like through that cabinet? Steve[/quote] Hi Steve, The TA503 sounds quite punchy through the NV610. It's not as squeaky clean sounding as the other Markbass heads but you wont get any overdrive out of it. It works very nicely for finger style and plectrum playing through the NV610 but it's no good for slap playing, although I don't imagine you have an NV610 for slap bass! Have you tried any other markbass heads through your 610? I could compare them for you as I've had experience with quite a few of them. I'm struggling a bit to describe the sound of the 503 plugged into the NV! IMHO the 503 is at it's best when it's plugged into Markbass cabs. I used to use it with a Markbass 4x10 and 1x15 and found it to be incredibly versatile.
