Fair enough...

If I was a "Sir" and had a purported fortune of £800m+ I wouldn't give a **** what people thought of me.

I think Macca 'the man' is bigger (better known) than Macca 'the bassist in the Beatles'. He's done very well for himself arranging the same notes we all use in a commercially advantageous and very popular way to make lots of money. I have respect for what he's achieved, not only as a bassist, but as a musician. I'm not sure I like the guy (I've never met him, thus reserve judgement). His contribution to music is undeniable (and to this thread) as is his influence on many musicians (not just bassists).

...been thinking to fit height adjusters to my upright...

...price is about right...

You could save money if you were to do it yourself (that's the route I'm thinking off).

Good luck

...or you could try...

If the XLR is similar to a Wal, then you'll probably need to put a 1/4" jack in the jack socket to activate the XLR signal out (unless the XLR will accept phantom power).

Wrap the SM58 in a small towel / beer mat and wedge this between the tailpiece and the body (mic head looking upwards). Use the condenser in the room simultaneously with the SM58 and do a final mix between the two.

Good luck

Strata (my best bass ever) & Kingbass BB Fretless 4 string.

Reasonably priced, length to suit.

I want one for that money ...

Go for it.

Thank you very much Major.

Digitech Jamman has instrument input and mic input with level control, although you can't use condenser mikes as it doesn't have phantom power. Sampling is only limited to the size of memory card (compactflash).

I'm not sure they're made anymore, so you'll probably need to find one secondhand.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='714470' date='Jan 15 2010, 11:43 PM']Thankfully, I've no such gripes with Status. Every single bass passes through Rob Green's hands before it exits the building. If only all companies could be as good. [/quote]

Phil Jones Bass Buddy.

With the aux in allows you to play along to tracks as well. The headphones means you don't have to annoy the neighbours / wife. It also runs on batteries.

Perfect for me ...

I like my Stentor Arcadia.
Whatever you go for, a professional set up will improves things enormously.

Wow, thanks for the useful feedback. Some food for thought here...

Wil

I'm looking at getting a Sans Amp Bass Driver or Para Driver, to get a crunchier tone.

Does anyone have experience with either and which one would you recommend?

I've listened to some clips on Youtube and either sounds good.

The Bass Driver is a bit cheaper...

Cheers,

Wil

Nice...

Love the Contra. I think AI are great!

Wil

How 'bout some Chic...?

Just replaced my standard US precision pickup with a Villex VP pickup (split type only, no bridge pickup). Totally passive system with a mid 'shape' control, usual tone control and volume.

The range of sounds is incredible for a passive system. Can go from thunderous lows with crisp highs to a more standard 'p' sound.
