Very nice looking bass, but all I could find out about the protone's was that it was a 5 string. What year is this one?

Right, I think I'll stick with the peavey for now and get something small or maybe just a headphone amp for practising at home. I've just started out again on bass, (see my profile for more info) so it may be best if I take it one step at a time.

Thanks to all for your input.

Little update on some spec of my bass.
Width at nut: 40mm (1 9/16ths inch)

Width at 12th fret: 55mm (2 1/8th inch)

[quote name='wombatboter' post='1015013' date='Nov 7 2010, 09:25 AM']It's a bit rusty but I've heard worse... good job on the bass with the consistent downstrokes and a fat bass-sound..
Keep it up and enjoy yourselves ! (I've played "Out of control" hundreds of times myself, great song)[/quote]

Cheers man!

Dunno why but I prefer downstrokes to alternating.

Hi,

This is my 4th rehearsal playing bass with not just this band, but any band. Ever! And only the 3rd rehearsal with a drummer. So, I'm a bit rusty, the sound isn't good etc etc etc, blah blah blah, but what the hell! We're all friends here aren't we?

So here goes....

Be nice

Please delete. Now posted in the "show us your videos thread".

Sorry.

Oh man that is gorgeous. If it wasn't fretless I'd be interested too.

I think I looked at your ebay ad earlier today BassMan!

I think I'll be looking at something different now though. Sorry.

Yep, USA Fender Strat. Made in '94. 40th anniversary logo on headstock and neck plate. With Fender hard case. Any idea what these fetch?

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='1014459' date='Nov 6 2010, 04:42 PM']i would suggest this would be an overly excessive practice amp. the LD15 would probably be more up your street. But remember there are multi-fx boxes like the boss and pandora ranges that can be used by plugging your headphones diretly into it plus you could add Aux music or stick in pc speakers to the headphones socket if you fancied getting loud.

There are plenty of options for you so do a bit of research to see what you really want and need. the research is half the fun.[/quote]

Exactly! And I was only considering the Studio 110 if you it could 'do it all' so to speak. How about a Trace Elliot boxer 15? Any good?

Cheers.

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='1014377' date='Nov 6 2010, 03:23 PM']Your amp I believe is 75watts with a 10" driver. No way will this keep up with a full acoustic drumkit, guitarist and PA system. as its been said above this is a practise amp, the peavey is a nice big 150watts getting pumped out through a 15" driver. I wouldnt be shifting the peavey until such times you acquire a new gigging combo/rig.[/quote]

To clarify, I don't own the amp. I was posing the question to help make my decision.

As for the Peavey, I'll keep it for sure. It's a workhorse, built like a tank (and weighs about the same as one!). I'll look into other options for home practice, such as headphone amps, or a mini amp like the LD15 you have.

Cheers.

So, is there any other small combo amp that could be used for gigs?

I'm pretty new to rehearsing and gigging, and the gear aspect of playing bass. I bought the TNT150 years ago when I was young and naive when really what I needed at that time was something like the Studio 110 but that wasn't around then!

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='1014063' date='Nov 6 2010, 10:41 AM']I would expect not mate. the line 6 aint known for being overly loud. The Peavy 150tnt would spank its bottom all the way to the bank.[/quote]

Ok, thanks, which one have you got, your sig just says lowdown.

Been reading a lot about this amp. Seems to be a favourite amongst the forum, but is it enough to gig with, both in terms of FOH and as my monitor?

I've been thinking about getting a practice/home/headphone amp, but if the Studio 110 could do it all then that would be great!

Could it replace my TNT150?

Thanks

By the way, I play this with a D on the A string, then open A, then B on the A string, then G on the E string, but then I go back to the B and slide up to the D which gives the the slide sound.

Having said that, I will have a go at the one string method in the video.

Ok, I'll try changing the amp settings next time. Cheers.

Oooh, I know this one!

You need to slide the GATE slider up until the hissing stops, usually at about the 50 mark, it depends on the gain of your instrument I guess. It's just a noise gate.

For mac users I would also recommend Capo, here [url="http://supermegaultragroovy.com/products/Capo/?from=certificate"]http://supermegaultragroovy.com/products/C...rom=certificate[/url]

Well, the Hartke is £150 while the Pathfinder is less than half that, and price is a factor for me at the moment. I found other threads that mention the Amplug, but nothing on the Pathfinder.

Hi,

I've been thinking about getting a little plug in headphone thingy for practicing. I've seen the Vox amplug bass device and thought it looks pretty cool.

Seen here: [url="http://www.voxamps.com/uk/amplug/"]http://www.voxamps.com/uk/amplug/[/url]

Has anyone used one of these? Any good?

A step up from that would be a small practice amp. I'm sick of lugging my TNT 150 upstairs inbetween rehearsals. Again, Vox do a nice little amp called the Pathfinder 10 Bass. Seen here: [url="http://www.voxamps.com/uk/pathfinder/pathfinder10bass/"]http://www.voxamps.com/uk/pathfinder/pathfinder10bass/[/url]

I think both units have an input for an ipod or such device to play along with.

I want something small and light just for practice. Any other options?

I also have the option to use Garageband with the headphones in but I'm not totally happy that the headphones are safe when using the Bass through Garageband. The only 'phones I have are my hifi ones and they're £90 so I don't wanna damage them.

Yes, but I'm talking about the £10 jobbies!

I bought a pair of ER20's recently (Our drummer is ever so loud) but when I wear them I find the bass a little hard to follow. It's like everthing's turned down, which is what I wanted of course, but the bass seems to get lost a little bit. Maybe I should just turn my amp up?

Does it come with the butterfly incl.?

Would love the tab for this if either of you still have it.

Muchos gracias!
