[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1358899257' post='1946974'] "Humans may lose the desire to throw away unneeded items because of a feeling of attachment to these item" OC-2's?.........Unneeded? .......Whatchoo talkin' 'bout? Si [/quote] Haha! Perhaps I should have linked it to 'herd', is herd the correct term for a group of OC-2s? Or is it a pack? Or maybe a pod? no wait.. thats a group of tacky line 6 effects all in one box. I'll get my coat.

Would you achieve the same effect as parallel compression by running any compression pedal through an effects loop - using something like a Barge VB-JR? I'm going to try running my Demeter compressor through my Barge loop later, I'm intrigued to see what it sounds like.

[quote name='bigthumb' timestamp='1358752026' post='1944353'] Try and hold out for a decent secondhand SS1 or the bolt on LX which IMO is a better slapper if thats your thing. The older LX's with the wenge necks being very nice and easy to play as they have a slim and comfortable neck very much like the vintage Streamers. [/quote] This. Especially if you're going through a Jamiroquai phase, Zenders sound is all about the Streamer. Corvettes are great basses, but tonally they're very different from a Streamer.

Another vote on the D'Addario Pro Steels, they seem to last better than similar priced strings and they're nice and zingy!

Are there any players you particularly like the sound of? I'd personally go with a Stingray 5 out of the basses you've mentioned, as I think they cut through mixes nicely in louder/heavier bands, plus they have a great low B. Also as White Cloud mentioned, Lakland make good 5 string basses with a cracking low B.

[quote name='brutalbass' timestamp='1358647522' post='1942888'] beautiful instrument. Got a message. regards Max. [/quote] I reckon you're probably about a year too late on this one, but you never know. -
Another Yamaha fan here, I've had a TRB for a few years that I picked up for next to nothing considering how nice it is. As Dingus mentioned though, the BB series are 34" scale so you'll probably be better off looking for one of those if you're going to use a high C instead of a low B. Yamaha basses come and go on the for sale section here all the time.

The Diago Powerstation is well worth checking out, I've been using one for about 5 years and haven't had any noise problems with any pedals, which was a problem I seemed to be plagued with before getting a Powerstation. It's a very versatile bit of kit too.

*SOLD* Lakland Skyline Darryl Jones 4-String Bass Guitar - Natural
thumbo replied to moppatoppa's topic in Basses For Sale
I'd be all over this if I hadn't bought a DJ5 not so long ago. Fantastic basses, you'd be very hard pushed to find a better jazz for this price. -
[quote name='S9_S12_Bass' timestamp='1356384354' post='1909873'] :0 that really is so nice, I love the grain, is the finish really thin as the grain really seems to come through? [/quote] The bass is quite worn but I think it's just that the grain is particularly prominent on this p bass.

Here's my trusty steed. 1974, all original, well loved. My favourite bass I've ever owned, we've been together for 7 years.

What's the best cleaner for Nitro finishes?
thumbo replied to Old Horse Murphy's topic in Bass Guitars
I use nothing more than a planet waves micro fibre cloth on my 70's p bass and it works fine on the nitro finish, no need to use any cleaning products on it. For the fretboard I use lemon oil and if I'm cleaning the frets I tape them off with low tack masking tape and use brasso (very sparingly!). -

This bass is awesome, it really oozes character with that relic job. I bet you're chuffed to bits with it!

This looks good!

[quote name='Davewick' timestamp='1351594861' post='1852959'] Bump! And a little video [/quote] I'm surprised no one has mentioned this video yet, you absolutely nailed it bro! Tone and playing is spot on. -
boom!

Metallica, and they've proven that point numerous times.

I have 2 tickets for sale for the ATP Nightmare Before Christmas curated by Shellac (Friday 30th Nov - Sunday 2nd Dec @ Camber Sands, Butlins). [url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas.php"]http://www.atpfestiv...shellacxmas.php[/url] I bought tickets for a 4 person chalet a few months ago but 2 of the guys that were meant to be going have bailed out, so you'd be joining myself and the other handsome bass player in my band. We'll be driving from Leeds so if you're vaguely en route and you'd like a lift then I'm sure we can sort something out. This festival has all but sold out now, with the exception of a few of the larger chalets. Tickets work out as £190 per person. If you'd like one (or both) of these tickets I think the best way to do it would be if I ask for a 50% deposit now and then the rest when we get there. The lineup is currently looking like this (and they'll add more to it too) -[list] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/shellac.php"]SHELLAC OF NORTH AMERICA[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/neurosis.php"]NEUROSIS[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/wire.php"]WIRE[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/missionofburma.php"]MISSION OF BURMA[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/oxbow.php"]OXBOW[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/ninanastasie.php"]NINA NASTASIA[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/meltbanana.php"]MELT BANANA[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/theexbrassunbound.php"]THE EX + BRASS UNBOUND[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/mono.php"]MONO[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/shannonwright.php"]SHANNON WRIGHT[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/zenigeva.php"]ZENI GEVA[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/arcwelder.php"]ARCWELDER[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/scrawl.php"]SCRAWL[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/uzeda.php"]UZEDA[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/bottomlesspit.php"]BOTTOMLESS PIT[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/prinzhorndanceschool.php"]PRINZHORN DANCE SCHOOL[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/threesecondkiss.php"]THREE SECOND KISS[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/pinebender.php"]PINEBENDER[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/redfang.php"]RED FANG[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/membranes.php"]THE MEMBRANES[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/bukeandgase.php"]BUKE AND GASE[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/deadrider.php"]DEAD RIDER[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/helenmoney.php"]HELEN MONEY[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/bearclaw.php"]BEAR CLAW[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/alix.php"]ALIX[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/stnnng.php"]STNNNG![/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/rachelgrimes.php"]RACHEL GRIMES[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/turingmachine.php"]TURING MACHINE[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/gaywitchabortion.php"]GAY WITCH ABORTION[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/kash.php"]KASH[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/myownflag.php"]MYOWNFLAG[/url][/size] [*][size=2][url="http://www.atpfestival.com/events/shellacxmas/lineup/moretbc.php"]+ MORE TBC[/url][/size] [/list] Cheers, Ed

His bass parts on Blood Sugar Sex Magik are outstanding - just the right mix of holding it all together and showing some flare in tasteful places.

He's quite active on twitter https://twitter.com/#!/J_Alderete and instagram.

You won't get distortion from the micro POG.
