the guy's a hero...my small stone arrived today...and he'd chucked in an adapter as well.

couldn't be happier

cheers OHM !!

fools and their money...

love your work

from the front of the D-string saddle to the back (i.e. the bridge side) of the pickup is 159mm.


hope this helps

but we're talking bodies, not elocution

i bought one of those for my mum as she's starting to learn to play guitar. i was [i]very[/i] impressed...seemed to do well on bass as well as electric and acoustic guitars.

both the status and the aria are pretty fugly to my eye...esp the status.

i've got a musicman sabre - if they have the same setup i'd be happy to let you know...

ta - in the end i didn't use the behringer - there simply wasn't enough room in the studio.

it still rocked though...

now, where am i going to fit the double muff and the small stone (thanks old horse murphy !)

plus the one for the 'marmite' brand angle

[quote name='SJA' post='74119' date='Oct 14 2007, 12:58 PM']this Freebass thing doesn't look promising at all.
3 bassists (is Mani playing guitar?) and no songwriter, by the sounds of things.
Hooky playing his same old licks on that demo track.

but I thought Hooky sounded great on the single from Perry Farrell's Satellite party "wish upon a dog star".

is that him ? sounds very un-hooky to me !!!


plus the one on freebass...hooky just plays the same stuff over and over again these days.

and it went really well.



don't think we got more than 10 listeners tho !!!!

ashdowns wooly ?


i totally agree - i've tried their heads on a number of occasions and think they sound very dull.

[quote name='cheddatom' post='72757' date='Oct 11 2007, 12:43 PM']I never want to be as good as Victor. I can see the appeal in it, but i'm more interested in writing songs with my bands mates, and in shaping the sound and feel of these songs.[/quote]

i'm with you there, but i'd debate the use of the word 'good'

i see virtoso bass players like victor wooten on youtube, etc. and so on and it just does not appeal to me...to be honest it bores me stupid a lot of the time. i can appreciate the skills, but it's not where i'd like to be, bass-playing wise.


now...coming up with a good bassline to a tune where what you do complements what's going on in the rest of the tune - [i]that's[/i] important to me.

but ymmv as always

[quote name='Stan_da_man' post='72754' date='Oct 11 2007, 12:41 PM']If the BDI21 has problems DI'ing and being too quiet, wouldn't adding a pre-amp booster pedal do the trick and increase the volume?[/quote]

before the pedal ? no - it's prolly overdrive the pedal itself.

odd - i was having this same conversation with a guitar friend of mine who was asking me why i use separate pedals and not a multi-fx.

multi-fx pedals just tend to have stuff i never use on them like reverbs and delays, pitch-shifters and so on, so i stick to pedals...

also i tend to use a couple of different overdrives and cascade them to get different sounds, which has always seemed more difficult with multis...

each to their own in the end though.

but if you [i]do[/i] decide to ditch the nano small stone, bung me a pm !

at £250 i'd be very tempted...it may not sound very authentic....

but either way....still a lot of fun.

on the mighty chorley fm (coming in your ears !!!!)

we'll be on from 6.30pm this friday (12 oct) for about an hour...

quantum beats live in session


[url="http://chorley.fm/"]http://chorley.fm/[/url]

breakbeat/techno with live bass and two live guitars.



wish me luck....i'm all packed for the red eye train up to preston on friday morning !!!

[quote name='stevebasshead' post='72292' date='Oct 10 2007, 05:57 PM']Are you thinking of The Guitar Shop more or less opposite Aitken Bro's electronics shop? Up a few stairs and round the corner on the way to The Old George? (It's still there but is 99% guitar orientated. Occasionally has a bass or two in but I've never seen bass amps or cabs.)[/quote]


that's the one...lots of high end guitars ?

he was a nice chap who used to be in there...

yeah - windows is just sh*te

now there was a place in a little square opposite an electrical shop on hood street (?) just before it opened onto the bigg market...can't remember the name tho...it was up some stairs....


soz - it's been 5 years since i left the toon.

[quote name='wotnwhy' post='71663' date='Oct 9 2007, 04:32 PM']is that why you've got that gas mask on?[/quote]


no - i wear that anyway





a lot of the stink may be due to the case...it smells pretty rank too, so i'll be trying out the newspaper trick tonight !!


many thanks


and keep the gross-out stories coming.

i got a dean markley overlord valve overdrive pedal from the one in newcastle.

£40 i paid. it fell apart about 6 months later, sadly.


but still a bargain i think
