I wouldn't be too happy without my choice of basses. Okay, i would take the engineer/producers views on board as to whether certain bass would fit a certain song better, but i wouldn't just use what they want because they're used to it. Thankfully the producer where we record is used to a Warwick and other things along those lines, so he's fine with anything. Not that any of that makes any difference currently because my main bass is a Fender Precision..... Liam

Welcome Sam, another one here who thinks your PhD sounds rather interesting and enjoyable. Oh and +1 to the P Bass. Liam

If i went for a rack system i would probably have something like an Axe FX or an Eleven Rack into a power amp, but for now i like my individual pedals, it's much easier to tweak settings on the fly. I can see the apeal of multi-effects though, especially the higher quality ones. Liam

I figured out, with my main band, we've done 32 (As of this weekend), with others, there's an extra 8 or so. So uhhh... 40 Liam

In chronological order of me owning them: 1994/95 Squier Jazz 2007 Ibanez GSR200 2007 Squier Deluxe Jazz Bass V 2010 Squier Deluxe Jazz Bazz V (To replace the '07 model which broke) 1986 Fender Precision Bass (MIJ) I've also gigged with: Stagg something or other Tanglewood Rebel 4K Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass And i may be getting my hands on a '62-'64 Fender Fretless Jazz Bass (MIJ). Liam

Sounds a little hectic for my tastes, although i must say i love the kind of 8-bit sound (Albeit with instruments not beeps) that it has. Liam

My opinion: If it sounds good, it sounds good. If i can pick it up with one hand and bash some idiot around the head with it, without breaking then that's even better. One of my favourite tone's i've ever used was my Squier Jazz, into my Warwick ProFet head and an SVT-810e, absolutely marvelous. Liam

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1344256267' post='1761745'] Because you're a logical, self-sufficient person. If the Yammies were any better, Ibanez wouldn't have made the Blazer of course. That would not be logical. Get the Blazer! blaze, bert [/quote] But then if the Blazer was better, Yamaha would've stopped making their basses! Either way, buy the Blazer, you can always sell it on if it's not for you. Liam

My thoughts are that you can add effects on to a signal, but you can't take them off, so i don't mind recording DI, as everything i live can be done with plugins. That being said, if someone wanted to stick an Orange Bass Terror on an Ampeg SVT-810e and mic it up i wouldn't be complaining one bit. Liam

Mine's been a staple part of my board ever since i bought it. Currently it's sitting in one of my bypass loops as i use it for a more bass-heavy and much more rounded tone which i use for softer songs. I've used it as a pre-amp for in the past as well, for recording some covers and for acoustic guitar actually. Though i must admit, it can be really annoying too. For some unknown reason mine will only work if it's on battery or if it's powered via my Boss tuners output, not from my power supply or it's own individual supply either. Liam

I was PM'd by Rich a few weeks ago (Sorry it's took so long to post on here) when enquring for a dual loop as he could build me one for a cracking price. Turned up 4 days before i was expecting it and was a very fine job. Someone i'll happily deal with again. Liam

I always route the cable from my pedalboard to my amp around the edge of the stage area, and if i'm using a wireless (Perched on top of the amp) i route the cable from that around that way too. I used to wear some quite thin soled shoes so i absolutely hated standing on cables. I need to get my own wireless, and soon. Liam

Only bass and the occasional shouty vocal with my band, though it seems i may be assisting with audio streams and doing some live camera work at some gigs too. Liam

My band used to play in E Standard, Drop D, D Standard and Drop C. Our guitarist just used all of those tunings, our singer was permanently in D standard or Drop C and used a capo to take it up to E and Drop D, and i just went out and got a 5 string. I was sick of the hassle of re-tuning all the time. Liam

That would look twice as lovely with a maple board IMO, but that is one gorgeous finish. Liam

I reckon a tour of Barefaced should be in the works. This was pretty interesting, a lot of the machinery looks indestructible. Liam

Fender doing a signature bass for a guy who actually uses Lakland basses, how typical. I do love Nate and the Foo Fighters though, and that Ashdown pedal looks intriguing. Liam

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DboMAghWcA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DboMAghWcA[/url] Takes me back to when i saw them last year. 3 and a half thousand people all singing that song creates an atmosphere that you can't describe. That and [b]VAST[/b] amounts of Walk Off The Earth/Sarah and Gianni. Liam

Bass - Pedalboard (If i can be bothered) - Lexicon Alpha - Some random and much too long (7.5m) earphone extension to my Sony MDR-EX10's, or i use my Stagg headphones i 'borrowed' off my dad when i can't be bothered with so much cable. Liam

I'll have a look later, as i'm at work currently so i can't. One of my videos is blocked in other countries too, not sure which as i haven't checked but it's to do with all the copyright laws and cr*p like that. Liam

The only thing about the T-Rex stuff is, apart from the Junior, that it isn't isolated outputs. Only the sections are isolated, not each individual output, which can cause problems with some pedals, although you'll probably be fine, just something to take into consideration. Liam

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuunY8BTqNs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuunY8BTqNs[/url] A fine (IMO) display of a Source Audio Bass Envelope Filter with Hot Hand. Once i get a dub loop set up on my pedalboard that's what i'll be using. Liam

Normally someone we know who's seen us a few times before, or me, as i'm the guy with the 30ft cable or when my mate lets me borrow it, a wireless rig. Liam

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1343633883' post='1752794'] Thanks dude. Closest we've got sonar is Bolton, though I'm hoping to hook up a gig with TheBrokenDoor again soon and Manchester is my target (maybe with From The Kites Of San Quentin...)? I'll keep you posted! [/quote] Whereabouts are you playing in Bolton? I might head down if i can. Liam
