[quote name='simon1964' post='127548' date='Jan 25 2008, 09:06 AM']Good point. How about the guy from the Killers? Some really good bass lines which drive their songs.[/quote]

i agree with you about this...

very good bass playing going on there

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='127358' date='Jan 24 2008, 10:00 PM']That's nice - really like the Shadows retro-feel to the piece.[/quote]


thanks

[quote name='bremen' post='127366' date='Jan 24 2008, 10:11 PM']Hope it goes well!

Have you tuned your guitars yet? Don't leave it till the last minute ;-)[/quote]

i'll be fine...it's those guys with the two extra strings that scare me...6 strings ? that'll take twice as long, right ?

[quote name='dlloyd' post='127370' date='Jan 24 2008, 10:17 PM']I'll have to wait till tomorrow to hear it. Got any photos?[/quote]

eat lights: become lights are playing their first gig at the end of next month...

we've got a flyer and eveything...

[quote name='dlloyd' post='127335' date='Jan 24 2008, 09:36 PM']I take it you're not interested in selling it? [/quote]


sorry, no !

ever since i'd been a massive cure fan in my youth i'd been on the lookout for one...it took me about 14 years for one to be out there and for me to have enough money to afford one.

and just to be evil....here's a little something recorded just on my vi

plus the one

[quote name='dlloyd' post='126786' date='Jan 24 2008, 11:54 AM']ahpook: Is yours strung E-E?[/quote]

yup - just as nature intended

i wasn't aware of the olp mm5

plus the one...

many thanks

[quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='126431' date='Jan 23 2008, 08:49 PM']Have a look at [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ModuleNo=4153&doy=23m1#overview"]Servisol Super 10 from www.maplin.co.uk[/url][/quote]

wd40 isn't a contact cleaner - quite the opposite. it leaves a lubricating film on whatever you spray it on...

i love mine

they scare the sh*t out of guitarists

i'm not sure how much they go for these days...as far as i now there's not many other options...fender does produce a number of baritone versions of the jazzmaster, but i don't think they're tuned e-e

i'm not sure about 'cij' i think mine is made in japan...it's from '95 i think

not as nice as this one...




one day...

i use one...does me fine.

it's the thickness of the strings, i think

i hope that's a sly little joke...

[quote name='attackbass' post='124301' date='Jan 21 2008, 01:00 AM']Would just a boost pedal do the Job? Or does it a matter of eq as well?[/quote]

i guess that depends if you want the passive to sound more active or just louder...

i use an mxr mc401 as a line booster and i'm more than pleased with it...clean, noise-free volume boost.

indeed it was...

worth buying the sountech...loud and light !

the single muff setting is more of a torn speaker sound to my ears

and my ears like it a lot !

[quote name='Superman000' post='124139' date='Jan 20 2008, 09:23 PM']So the double muff with both circuits engaged sounds like the big muff ?
But you have more control over the eq with the big muff ?[/quote]

i wouldn't say it sounds the same but it's more fuzzy than the single muff setting

to me the big muff takes a lot of the punch of the bass sound away...the cascaded double muff isn't so synthy to my ears

the double muff has the option of two sounds...

with the single muff it a flappy growl, and the double gets closer to the sound of a big muff...but remember you've got no control over the eq


the big muff has more control tone-wise but is more extreme-sounding imho.


it's odd you ask as i as comparing the sound of my little big muff and my double muff this afternoon at practised, and i'm almost going in favour of the double muff with both stages engaged

i decided to take my own amp down to band practice today...

ampeg svp preamp >> soundtech ps802 power amp >> practice studio's ampeg 8x10

i've had the soundtech for about 3 months but haven't used it in anger with the ampeg...


oooh, and did it sounds good...more than enough volume and a room-filling sound !!! the guitarist commented that it sounded a lot more detailed and could hear a lot more nuances to my playing.



lots of grind from the valves too...as well as the sight of them glowing away when i turned round.

proper job !!!

myself, i wouldn't be so confrontational unless they start being problematic. as hamster said most well known stores are fine about it.

ymmv of course

[quote name='David Nimrod' post='123716' date='Jan 20 2008, 11:20 AM']Exchange or money back I should say...[/quote]

plus the one...you've only had the item a few weeks...i'd say you can insist on a full refund if you want as the goods aren't of 'satisfactory quality'

[url="http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/index/your_world/consumer_affairs/buying_goods_your_rights.htm#how_to_deal_with_a_problem_with_goods"]have a read of this[/url]

remember it's the retailer's job to put things straight, not the manufacturer's

[quote name='markytbass' post='123673' date='Jan 20 2008, 10:30 AM']I'd look for another band personally.[/quote]

i'd say the same...it seems like the fact you work together is getting in the way of you enjoying playing bass.

[quote name='Danbass7' post='123262' date='Jan 19 2008, 09:47 AM']Cheers for all the advice. Ill no doubt get the red light fever.[/quote]

i think everyone does...i even get red light fever when i'm recording myself, on my own !!!
