[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1333648036' post='1604844'] Liam Gallagher; by a very very long way. [/quote] +1, no contest. Although, do Jedward count as one choice?

But TBH, Suede pioneered the 'britpop' thing and it was initially all about androgyny and blurring gender distinction. Oasis hijacked the idea and it became about lad and ladette culture. Can't really blame Brett Anderson for a bit of narcissism can you? Plus Animal Nitrate - what a tune!

Yup, buyers' market at the moment.

Got them in both of mine, changes everything (for the better). They're really versatile and 9 times out of 10 they just drop straight in. The newer ones are solderless too. So, in summary, doitdoitdoitdoitdoit.

[quote name='spinynorman' timestamp='1333575623' post='1603905'] Is it the perspective of the shot, or is everything in that picture unnaturally large? [/quote] yup, all except the budget.

Eeee, a bass amp in t'bedroom, that's t'dream.

How about something along these lines? [youtube]http://youtu.be/1YOAmqXEehA[/youtube]

That guitarist needs to sort his strap out - that's an accident waiting to happen.

(sigh) nearly 2 months now - that's a bit more than 'the next few days'. Is this project still a going concern?

two bass amps? Win!

Hello to a fellow Lancastrian, welcome on board. Paul.

Play bigger rooms .

[quote name='32Hz' timestamp='1333495570' post='1602652'] Are you using the BDDI, just to up the output voltage? or are you using it to shape your sound. If so why is the j-retro so valuable. T. [/quote] The BDDI has a couple of advantages (for me at least) it's powered by phantom power from the PA (fewer plugs is a good thing) and the 1/4" output can be set to line level even when the unit is bypassed, so yes, sometimes I use it just to boost the flat level from the bass. The East is great for having the tone controls at your fingers - the bright switch (pulling the treble knob up) is really useful for slap passages, and I don't have to bend down to play with the BDDI controls mid song. The East is also useful when I'm using someone else's amp ( shared kit at festivals etc), as I can get the sound that I want fairly quickly, which pleases everyone when changeover time is limited.

[quote name='Simon.' timestamp='1333451106' post='1601768'] A couple of times I've been tuning up between songs using a TU-2 stomp-box and forgotten to un-mute it when going for the opening note of the next song... [/quote] Didi that last week (except mine's a TU3. That's not important though, is it?).

well, it's here and it's not bad at all. The stacked knobs are a bit of a PITA but it's not a deal-breaker. Everything feels rock solid too, no wobbles or loose parts at all - I'll try to get some recording done over the next few days.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1333483354' post='1602460'] Of course you could always run a pre-amp pedal like a Tech 21 VT Bass pedal into a power amp. But most poweramps weigh more than your Genz anyway. [/quote] +1, I've got East pre's on both of my Jazzes and use a Sansamp BDDI between the basses and a hulking big Ampeg SVP1500 to drive a Hydrive 4x10. Great sound. Heavy though...

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1333444870' post='1601674'] Cant believe this bunch havent turned up in this thread - criminal that! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-crgQGdpZR0[/media] [/quote] Beat me to it. End of discussion.

[quote name='kennyrodg' timestamp='1333402509' post='1601354'] Now that you mention it.............. [/quote] wasn't you was it?

You're both welcome to it!
