Thats a Ray34 Classic isn't it? I do agree, that definately does need a maple fretboard. Liam

Don't suppose anyone has a White n Maple Stingray with a Black pickguard, white pickup cover, black hardware and some nice bright fretboard LED's? No? Okay, then Horizontalste's SR4 in Blue n Maple is rather nice. Liam

[quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1320576416' post='1428397'] A few years ago a customer came into our shop and said he'd had his PA amp modified by an electronics guy. He had a switch fitted, and he said before that nobody ever applauded his performance. However, when he flicked the switch, the audience clapped every time. True story. [/quote] Was it by any chance labelled "Power"? Liam

[quote name='soopercrip' timestamp='1320582857' post='1428496'] Excellent, apart from the bum crease bit. Totally put me off my ham sandwich Andy [/quote] Sorry about that one Andy, atleast we didn't show the scenes of that. Seeing your bandmates drawing on a fellow bandmates arse is a little bit dodgy, to say the least. Liam

Bumperoo. For all of you who may be interested in the gear side of things: The bass tracks were recorded with a Squier Jazz Deluxe V (Ernie Ball Regular Slinkies, fingerstyle) direct into the interface and through the IK Multimedia Ampeg Sim. Guitar was done with a Dean Vendetta 1.0 and Epiphone Les Paul Custom through a Peavey 6505 and Drums with a Pearl Export kit with Sabian B8's and Zildjian ZBT's, and a Sonor Force 3003 Kick drum. Shure, Sennheiser and SE Electronics mics i think Liam

If i remember correctly, the 30th of May 2010, on stage at a local pubs charity festival. Thankfully i only needed that bass for 4 songs so just grabbed my 5 string.

Hi guys (and girls of course), My band A Little Bit Outlaw have finally finished the recording, filming and editing of our first single and accompanying music video, so if you're a fan of some pop/punk madness check it out. I'll warn beforehand the video is a bit strange. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpCJuBC7DLk&feature=feedu[/media] Audio recorded at White Bear Studios in Adlington, mixed and mastered by David Page. Video filmed in various locations and edited by our lead guitarist Matt. Also, if anyone in the Manchester area is interested, we have a gig at Club Academy supporting the mighty Wigan legends Boomin, next saturday (12th) which is on the calendar and the gigs forum on here for more info. Hope you like it, Liam

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1320321091' post='1425225'] Great information video - but I wish he'd taken more care regarding the finish on the body around the bridge. Pulling the old strings off like that can do some terrible damage with the sharp ends. I always use a couple of business cards, 1 above & 1 below the bridge to prevent scratches. [/quote] Same here, trying to pull a .130 or .135 B string through my Squier bridge is a b*tch and the ball end ALWAYS hits the body when i do, it just doesnt have the space to get through properly without doing it, quite annoying really. Liam

One thing that massively helped me with timing issues i used to have, which might sound stupid to some people, but i started tapping my foot with the beat, which most people seem to do anyway, and somehow that managed to keep me in time. I still do it now when i'm playing on my own, without a track. Edit for spelling failures. Liam

FX send/return is to add an effect into the loop of your amp, many have an adjustable blend between the effected signal and the clean preamp signal too. I mostly see the effects return used to plug something directly into the power section of the amp, without using the preamp, and i do this myself on one of my amps as the pre thats in it is horrible. Liam

Because other companies can offer more than Fender can, and people prefer that. These so called Super J's/P's are called super for a reason. They see that people want more than Fender can offer in terms of features, so they jump on this and cater to that quite high-end market. Liam

Shouldn't your username now be VibratingGStrings, as you now appear to have 3 of them? Liam

If i had a cheap enough way to get to London and back i would. I'll have to see what i can do. Same as TorVic, it will be my first one. Liam

Not watched the vid yet, youtube doesn't work at work, but to edit the thread title you use the full editor. Just a nice little piece of info there for you, took me ages to figure out myself. Liam

I'm not in a band with gear nuts, but they notice if i bring something different to rehearsals and gigs, especially if it has more than 4 strings.... (Or less than 5 nowadays) Liam

Hi Steve, welcome to the forums. You've picked the right place to come if you're looking for help with anything, be it playing, equipment, or even life, someone on here knows something that'll be useful. Liam

Try it before you buy anything extra. That would be loud enough in my band and we have 2 guitarists, and are playing pop/punk stuff, so still at hefty enough volumes. Liam

Ever considered the Protec Contego? Not tried one personally but they seem to get a lot of rave reviews on here and Talkbass. Liam

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1320229980' post='1423939'] Thanks matey, it's very pretty! Sounds amazing too! Sooo good for the 'relatively' small price (same price as a normal 55-01). [/quote] Yeah, every Lakland i've played (Only been 2 or 3 though) has been well worth the cash, and 55-01's are relatively low priced compared to some basses, and easily worth even more. Liam

That is one nice Lakland. I sometimes wish i could go in to a shop and come out with something like that, normally its a few picks or a pack of strings for me. Liam

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1320182994' post='1423576'] ...All I need is a lot of money which I haven't got at the moment... [/quote] I'll make a bet with you that you have even less money, and want even more things after spending 2 months on here. Liam

Ultimate Guitar is what i use. Only ever really download Guitar Pro files but the actual tabs i've looked at on there are pretty accurate for the most part. Liam

Welcome to the forums. Sounds like you have quite a nice bass collection there. Rockbasses are rather good, especially at the price they are on here. Liam

Gotta admit that i do love Hysteria, Chris is a PHENOMENAL player, but there are much better basslines than that, even by Muse. My favourites are: Muse - Plug In Baby (Awesome root, 5th and octave line) Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Dani California Metallica - Orion and Anesthesia (More of a solo really) A Whilhelm Scream - The Horse (AWESOME Tapping in the first verse) Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills Trivium - Anthem (We Are The Fire), In Waves and Kirisute Gomen (Yes, i like Trivium) Pokemon Theme Tune All of these are my opinion of course, and i love playing them all, no matter how much i struggle with some (Kirisute Gomen and The Horse mostly) Liam
