I not long ago let my Midnight blue go.. best colour rick for me too. Enjoy.

My Daughter, Burana

Sounds good to me. I'm in about the same boat with my Blues band. Only started playing Blues about a year ago. Getting a lot if inspiration from seeing Norman Watt-Roy and Wilko the other month. I'm trying to up my work rate a bit on some songs, with a few more passing notes and melodies.. It's also what you leave out that gives a great feel.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1394324336' post='2390401'] Another GS112. Then you'll sound even better. [/quote] Yes, big difference 2 of those compared to 1. You can get away with using 1, but you won't believe the difference till you hear it for yourself.

[quote name='leroybasslines' timestamp='1394286430' post='2389892'] Great 'tache to accompany the bass face from the Hives there too. A moustache most definitely adds some brown to your tone. [/quote] lol, that's what I must be missing "brown to my tone"

[quote name='Colonel36' timestamp='1394274420' post='2389728'] He's firing on all cylinders here [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXaG1HvKMOw[/media] [/quote] Yes, that one will do it Edit to say.. When I first got my Ric, that was the first song I played along to. Now Ric gas free.

Bit different, but this is one I think of as pure Ric. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d66rCCoAJB0

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1394033226' post='2387151'] For the car it will be fine. However I wouldn't trust it to sufficiently protect the bass in the back of a van unless you've got somewhere to put it out of the way of the amps, speakers, drums and any other heavy band gear. That's why I'm getting the hard case. [/quote] I'll remember that if I have to stack it somewhere. On the other hand I think that Rockcase could survive the apocalypse, you'll be safe. I had a similar flightcase for my old Streamer but that was tiny in comparison.

Thanks BigRed. I think it will be fine for me, normally it's just in and out of the car or van and a short stroll. Don

I like them as well 45-100 for me.. They don't stay zingy that long but lots of crunch and harmonic there. Had a set on 6 month now and still sounding good for me.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1394031560' post='2387127'] I keep going back and forth between flats and rounds. I love the idea of flats but rounds seem to keep winning out. Ive got a set of Chromes and TI's (missing a D string at the moment) that have been on and off my gigging bass for the past couple of years. Each time i put them on and love the tone, but then at gigs i miss the overtones. At the moment i have a new set of GHS Precision's on and to my ears these are what flats should sound like. More thump than the TI's and Chromes, and very smooth to play. I do love TI''s for their lower tension but never felt they produced the thump i thought flats should produce. [/quote] I find it a tease as well. I have 2 of the six now with rounds and 3 with flats and 1 with tapewound black nylon... that's my way round it for now lol.

I ordered one of those flightcases from Thomann, when it turned up it was a lot bigger than I'd imagined and far too cumbersome for me to cart around just for gigs and practice.. I just sent it back under their 30 day return and getting one of the gig bags that fit the star bass instead. Oops, was it one of these that were cr#p http://www.thomann.de/fi/rockbag_hollowbody_bass_gigbag.htm ?

Yes, 2 of those 212's must be VERY loud I use one and have never run out of volume with it, even in a park outdoors with not going through the PA it's done the bizz.

I have a music shop giftcard that is burning a hole in my pocket, That 15" 200w combo might just be the job

There certainly is something about the oldies, congrats

On a singlecoil P I have found it to be even more pokey up that end!

[quote name='andyonbass' timestamp='1393592431' post='2382310'] Heard a couple of cracking tunes from the soon to be released Wilko and Roger Daltrey album on the radio this morning.Very reminiscent of the early feelgoods. Definitely on my shopping list! Anyone know if Norm is playing on the album? [/quote] I'd guess he is.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1393587417' post='2382213'] What an odd comment. Not all songs are created equal. And to think it took Freddy and the gang 3 weeks to record just one song... Bohemian Rhapsody was it? Talk about getting people to pull their socks up...! [/quote] I'm sorry if my comment seemed out of order.. I agree not all songs are created equal and we were on a shoestring budget.. so best of luck with your session and look forward to hearing the results.

[quote name='mikebass84' timestamp='1393582221' post='2382132'] Just heading to univibe studio's in Birmingham to record the new Khaos Theory EP. We're there for the next three days and we plan on getting three new tracks done. We'll be doing a video diary so keep an eye out [/quote] Have fun. Crickey we knocked out 7 songs in less than 2 days.. @ €30 an hour with our own money, we rocked up ready. Edit, should add that time didn't involve any mixing or mastering.

[quote name='Dr.Dave' timestamp='1393511367' post='2381233'] Said it many times. Put on the actors clothes and assume the role of the most confident , able player that walks the earth. Before you know it... you won't need to act any more. No skulking at the back with your head down. Proceed to the front of the stage and make 'em have it. You will be a different person the next morning , having walked the walk , and you'll never go back. I hope it brings you the joy it's always brought me. [/quote] Nice post Dr Remember to enjoy it and especially the relief that comes once the first one is out of the way.

I use mine a bit, one full song and then bits and pieces here and there. It's actually my favourite pedal.. The way you can set the sensitivity means you can be very subtle with it as well, you can then dig in and only highlight the bits you want.

We had the pleasure to support and meet Wilko and Norman back in Jan of this year, it lived up to all my expectations and more, even got Norm to play my P after their sound check That night will stay in my memory for a long time. edit. Give me a chance to post this again [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/8374568@N07/12027296986/][/url]

..and I think he got nearly the same type of tone whichever bass it was that he was using.. The technique and timing are the keys in trying to sound like him.. Good luck there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1WMByLRgb8 Love it

Post-up when the Album is out.. I'll deffo have one of those.

Full on a passive, a little more back on an aggressive active
