    'Jazz From Hell' takes me to my happy place. But then so does 'Zappa In New York' and 'Weasels Ripped My Flesh'. And 'Shut Up And Play Yer Guitar' and 'Burnt Weeny Sandwich'. And.....

    Sneaky bit I like is in the second tune, where he's plucking his C string with his left index finger whilst bowing a lovely repetitive pattern - adds a great new rhythm. Harrummph!!!!

    I've got a chart loosely based on a Michael Buble version (or Mickey Bubble as he's known in Ireland). PM me an email address and I'll send it over.

    Maybe something by One Direction would be more apt? Sorry for the derail - back to the sale!!!!

    Alas no, my Epi's will stay with me til they're modded into my casket. (Speakers pointed inward, iPod on shuffle til the battery runs out).

    Stop tempting me with your amps!!!! Seriously tho - part ex?

    Gene Simmons's slides as a shameless way to get around the fact you're not sure what note you're going to. That slide covers up a multitude of sins!!!

    Or for another GenzBenz approved bedroom prac amp and small-medium gig amp how about this at half the price of a brand new one?: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/196532-genz-benz-60210t-combo-for-saletrade-price-drop/ Do excuse the shameless plug.

    We are, officially, not worthy.

    I've been thru the mill with overdrives - from a SanaAmp, to a Tech21 Leeds, to using a blend pedal with a BassPod, to .... and honestly the most satisfying pedal I've used is a £30 Harley Benton 'American Sound' pedal - reported to be a clone of a Tech21 Blonde pedal, which itself is a Fender Bassman clone. From all things Motown to early Gene Simmons (check out 'She' or 'Watchin' You') to all out fuzz - this thing makes me happy,

    Time to start working on your own. Garageband is your friend. And I say this as advice for myself too. Time will come when something will be worth doing. Right now it isn't. Swings and roundabouts.

    Hey Folks - Bought this combo from Jathan here a few months back. In great condition bar from one scuff on the side. Jathan didn't gig the cab out ever, I've only taken it out maybe 3-4 times. Brand new these combos retail between £1100-1200. Bought for £630 including shipping but I've added a Roqsolid cover, costing £45, so I'm looking for [s]£650[/s] [s]£620[/s] [b]£600[/b] posted - a whopping saving of £500-600 for a little used amp. Also open to trades. Nothing specific in mind. Combo also comes with a Genz Benz gigbag for the amp head for whenever you want to take the amp out on it's own. Nifty little feature indeed. [size=2][b][u]FEATURES[/u][/b] [/size] [left][size=2]• Ultra Light 3.75 lb Design • Power: 375W/8 ohms; 600W/4 ohms • Analog 12AX7 Tube Preamp • Digital SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) • High Current Class D Amplifier • Active EQ w/Parametric Mids • 3-Band Signal Shape Circuit (Footswitchable) • Signal Mute Switch (Footswitchable) • Tuner Out • Extended Range Input Gain for Active/Passive Sensitivity • Limiter Circuit • LED Status Indicators • Speakon® Speaker Outputs [/size][/left] [size=2] • Internal Fan Cooling • Full XLR Direct Out Interface • Aux.

    Bump for a seriously under-rated filter. Love mine soooooooooooooooooooooo much. I even have two And both with the volume pot added. They stink in such a delicious way.

    [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1356953225' post='1915439'] Get this!! It has been selected as one of the 'Books of the Year' in the December issue of the 'New York City Jazz Record'. It ain't the Booker Prize but, hell, I'll take it .... [url="http://www.nycjazzrecord.com/"]http://www.nycjazzrecord.com/[/url] [/quote] Congrats on getting this out there. And well done on the selection. Amazon wish list here we come.

    [quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1356775072' post='1913372'] if anyone says the 5-string is out of place, be thankful. they've played their arsehole card - you can move on now. [/quote] +1 - it says more about them than it does about you. My stock response for years was that 'My Girl' sounds just the same on a 6 as it does on a 4. And then if they didn't know what 'My Girl' was I knew we were in REALLY big trouble.

    Gareth Hughes replied to krispn's topic in Basses For Sale

    Have a bump for a great bass from a great guy. Had my Matt Freeman sig for about a year now and love it - more so than the Fender 2008 Am Std and Fender Japanese 70's Reissue Precisions it replaced. Just something about it that feels. and sounds, more right. Forget what you think you know about Squier's - these new ones are outstanding. And Basswood for a body sounds great - and weighs a lot less than the usual suspects. File this bass under - If I didn't have one already.......

    Nice one Jerry. I live on the wrong side of the Irish Sea to come over sadly. Best of luck with the gig - I know that those who can go will be in for a treat.

    Try running your pickup into something like a Boss tuner pedal before you plug into the amp. There's a whole headache about input impedances awaiting you. Have a read at this: http://www.gollihurmusic.com/faq/11-PREAMPS_DO_YOU_NEED_A_PREAMP_WITH_YOUR_URB_PICKUP.html
