£250 altogether. £150 for the Warwick and £100 for the cab (A Peavey 1x12 borrowed from my bands PA rig) Liam

The amp + cab are affecting the tone in a way which pleases you when using the Jazz, but not when using the Aerodyne, and the Aerodyne has a more pleasing natural tone to you. Liam Natural probably wasn't the right word, but its the only one i could think of what fits.

[quote name='Jack' timestamp='1321902869' post='1444296'] Most places hand me a Samson DI that's pale blue (circuit diagram on the top) and I know for a fact they're pretty cheap. I've never had any problems with them but then again we don't really hear our own FOH sound so I'm finding it hard to properly recommend them! [/quote] Same around here, but if Samson mics are anything to go off in terms of sound quality, they can't be too bad. I got lumped with a crap behringer DI a few weeks ago, it did the job, but there was no onstage amp either so i was all monitors and could hear the DI a little more than i normally would. Liam

Both of my speaker cables are 1.5m. Speaker cables tend to be a bit more expensive and a lot more heavy duty than instrument cables, as they're designed to take a much higher load than an instrument cable is. Liam

+1, if the amp is good enough for you, then a seperate DI is the best way to go, it will also more than likely end up being cheaper than replacing the amp too, unless you go for something mental like a REDDI which i don't expect you will. Liam

Line 6 POD X3 Pro or maybe one of the new HD Pro models. All the amp/cab/mic sims are defeatable and both have good effects (Except the synth) that aren't too hard to use and program. Liam

Nothing wrong with a bit of Pop/Punk mate, welcome to the forums.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdjtqu3XK4U I would say that has a really nice groove to it, but this is me, who comes from a straight 8ths/16ths rock background, so i'm sure i'll have a different idea of groove to others on here. Liam

[quote name='Mark_Bass' timestamp='1321550649' post='1440584'] I admit i find it odd that in this day and age mesa dont seem to put speakcons on all their heads, and yeah they are stupidly, stuuupidly expensive. I guess they must use unicorn poo as a secret component or something.... [/quote] Isn't there some EU law that everything over 500w has to have SpeakOns nowadays? I 'm sure i spotted something like that somewhere. Liam

My Ibanez was like this, so i ripped out the J pickup and 2 band EQ and am soon to be fitting a Wizard Thumper and wiring in typical Precision fashion of Vol/Tone. Not something i'd reccomend for yourself, but thats what i did. Liam

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1321537394' post='1440304'] Ah, that's what I thought. Strangely, I never onxce thought of doing this! I bought a Focusrite, but I also had my drums going into it. [/quote] Its quite surprising how many people who have one overlook this feature actually, same with the Boss equivalents. The POD X3 Pro claims to be able to send something like 16 seperate channels of audio via USB, quite a handy little feature in my opinion. Liam

From that post above, this seems easily worth the (Quite small i would say) sum of £1.69 a month. I'll definately be subscribing come payday, as right now i don't even have £1.69 to my name. Liam

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1321532806' post='1440210'] They've taken the images down but here are a couple .. I think the blonde one is gorgeous [/quote] Oh my, a singlecut that i would actually play. That Blonde one does look pretty tasty to me, and the 6 string further up is just f*cking hideous. Liam

2 Preamps? In One Bass?!?!?!?!? My god that sounds like a lot of fun to me. GORGEOUS finish on that too, makes the grain stand out juustt perfectly. Liam

Most amp manufaturers (Except a few, Bugera Nuke anyone?) quote RMS, Hartke included. Liam

[quote name='Mog' timestamp='1321488681' post='1439924'] Aye, same as. If you do make sure to get as long a CAT5 cable as possible. And try and get one that will show up on a dark stage so you dont get caught up in it. [/quote] Yeah, i was thinking a 10m red or green one, run it round the side of the stage so i have no cables under my feet at all. Liam

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1321459074' post='1439423'] Pete, Would you kindly expand on how you use yours as a soundcard please? Cheers! [/quote] Included USB Cable, set the DAW to recognise the POD as the input source. I'm pondering on whether instead of getting a new amp, putting together a 6U rack with Line 6 Relay G90, POD X3 Pro and a Peavey IPR. Liam

I used to use a .110 when i was in mostly Drop D. Had a lot of punch and was deep enough for my tastes. Liam

Aye, same here. I have no Strat, Tele, Dreadnaught Acoustics, Mudbuckers OR P90's. I better get shopping. Liam

Oh my, if only...... *Plans out if i can actually afford to buy a compact* ..... Damnit, i can't, not even with a £100 discount. Liam Edit: Thinking about it, depending on when i get paid in December, i might just be able to squeeze one in actually

I normally have 2 basses, my main which is a Jazz V tuned standard, and the backup is normally something P/J like (Tanglewood Rebel 4K, Ibanez GSR200), tuned to standard, although last night i did use the Tanglewood, strung with Picato Flats (Thanks to Dave C), with the Jazz V (Ernie Ball Slinkies) as a backup. I could easily get away with a two 4 strings, but i have my 5 so why not use it, and its my only working bass at the mo. Edit: Depending on the gig i actually use both, when i feel like it, for a bit of variation. The second is there as a backup, but it gets used anyway. Liam

[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1317040973' post='1385784'] It's amazing how popular telecasters are with bassists. I've never known a guitarist who was really that arsed about them! [/quote] +1 to that, i only actually know 1 guitarist who owns a Telecaster, I love them, be getting one as soon as i can afford it. White n Maple, black hardware and pickguard. That's until i can afford my Warmoth Telecaster creation anyway..... Liam

Absolutely F*cking AWESOME! We played at Club Academy in Manchester, supporting [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbX0t0Ydhic&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL"]Boomin[/url] along with [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7PTfC2IR9Y&feature=related"]FindingEmo[/url] and [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_gbUvFxMRs"]New Avenue[/url]. Perfect sound offstage, although i did have difficulty hearing myself, it went swimmingly well. Crowd were phenomenal, including a group who had travelled from Bristol to watch us. Boomin put on an amazing set, as they always do, involving "Supersoakers, Condoms and Masks" as they put it. As a nice bonus, we were also loading out with the roadies for Lacuna Coil, as they were playing in Academy 2 and we had parked behind their tour bus. Liam

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1321095981' post='1435305'] Fairly sure that will be Eva Gardner - Fender Precision, Roto Rounds, and Ampeg. Link to Eva below: [url="http://www.ampeg.com/artists/artist.php?artistID=141"]http://www.ampeg.com...hp?artistID=141[/url] [/quote] Thanks, looks like i had a good guess then. Liam
