I'd say Line 6 could be a good optiion to go for, or the Orange Combos arent too bad either. Liam

Hello and welcome to BassChat. Sounds like you have some nice gear aswell. Anything your selling do it on here, i'm sure someone'l take it off your hands. Liam

My guess is you would have to have the monitors pretty loud to overcome your guitarist, so could potentially damage your ears. Liam

My band use a Behringer Europower PMX2000 (250w per side) into 2 1x12's and 2 1x15's for 2 vocal mics only. Altogether cost us about £600 over the past few years. Can easily get a competent PA for just vocals for under £500, but make sure your not only running 2 1x15's cause that didnt work so well for us, lots of feedback. Liam

Definately underappreciated. Liam

Cliff Burton (Metallica) Johnny Christ (Avenged Sevenfold) Chris Wolstenholme (Muse) Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) Kasim Sulton (Ex. Neverland Express(Meatloaf)/Solo) All of those have influenced me to play bass over the past 3 years. Liam

My band once got all 4 members, 2 1x15 PA cabs, PA head, Mics and stands, Peavey Guitar Combo, Marshall Guitar Combo, Line 6 Bass Combo, 2 guitars, Bass, Drum Kit (2 rack toms, floor tom, snare, kick, cymbals and hardware) and our guitarists mum (who was driving) into a Ford Galaxy. That was a tight fit. Nowadays we split it between 2 cars and we have some more speaker cabs for the PA. Liam

Snapped a string whilst tuning at a charity festival. Fortunately i only needed that bass for 4 songs and could do it on my 5. Other than that i've not erally had any problems. Liam

I have 2: And this: Nothing like Tim's usual stuff, and christmas themed, but just phenomenal. Liam

Fender Squier Jazz Bass Deluxe V Active. Got one sat on my knee right now. pick 'em up on ebay for £270. Liam

I use it all the time. One of the best programs i have. I've had the trial version of GP6 which was rather good, so i'm gonna get that when i can afford to, but for now i will stick with 5.2. Definately worth the money though, especially 6. Liam

[quote name='sprocketflup' post='1075435' date='Jan 2 2011, 04:23 PM']Yeah - cool aint it? They got some funky tunes going on and some amazing animations - I think the music is all done by one bloke. I like the starship one meself [/quote] I quite like the Pogo Sticks one. Theres alot of really good stuff that i'm quite tempted to learn when i have the time. Liam

Has anyone else on here heard of the genius that is Animusic? The 2nd gets better after around 2 mintues. Its basically computer generated music and animation, but done in such a good way. I think it uses MIDI sequencing for the music side of things but no idea about the animation. Liam

I used to use 1.5 and 2mm picks, but i wasnt comfortable with them(Except 1, which i still have, Dunlop Tortex Sharp 1.5mm). I now use Jim Dunlop Tortex 1.14mm and also occasionally some 1mm (I think) Claytons. They feel more comfortable and actually give me a good tone. The sharp (EXCELLENT for speed playing, im gonna try the 1.14mm soon) And the Tortex 1.14's Both awesome, but i prefer the 1.14mm, i think thats the right thickness for me and what i want. Liam

I have heard someone get pretty close with a Boss MT-2, but that was a while ago so my memory of it may be abit off, i never managed it with my MT-2 but yet again i didnt try too hard. Liam

Welcome. Another punk lover i see, thats always good. Liam

WOW. That is one niiiceeeeeeeee Jazz bass, something like the one i have planned for when i can afford it. You've got yourself a damn good bass there it would seem. Liam

That is one nice looking bass there. I wish i could afford a Bongo, but a schoolkids bank balance doesnt alow for £1500 basses. I agree with the scratchplate change also, that was one pretty hideous tort plate. Liam [quote name='munkonthehill' post='1067261' date='Dec 22 2010, 09:56 PM']Ok chaps, just a small update. Due to the most hideous pearloid scratchplate on my bongo, I really wanted to get shot of it. However after a bit of searching and a bit of a wait,,,,I finally got my replacement scratchplate. In my eye this really makes the bass so much better. [/quote]

The Ibanez GSR200 is a brilliant bass for the money (I payed £150 in '07 for mine) especially for someone just starting out on bass, so i recommend one of those, but as always, go and play some basses in your budget and pick which one feels and sounds best to you. Liam [quote name='xreporter2004' post='1067068' date='Dec 22 2010, 06:51 PM']Hello, Everything I read so far were really helpful. I used to play guitar a few years ago and i have an acoustic bass as well but I haven't played for a few years and I want to buy an electric bass and start from the beginning again. I've done a lot of research on basses on the internet but I haven't been in a shop yet ( which i will do soon). My budget is 200 pounds. Any recommendations for a new or used bass. I've also seen a few interesting models : Tanglewood 4PB/4 ST Ibanez GSR180, GSR 200JB, RBX170 Yamaha RBX170,RBX270J Peavy millenium 4BXP Washburn T14 CG,XB 120TR If you have any knowledge on these instruments please make a comment or please tell me your thoughts. Thanks[/quote]

I use Venom Cables at the moment and my 20ft Sidewinder has lasted me a good 18 months so far. For £6.49 off ebay, that is rather good. Gonna get a cable or two from OBBM when i have some spare cash though. Liam

[quote name='Truckstop' post='921065' date='Aug 10 2010, 09:33 PM']I actually still have and use the thin crappy black nylon strap i got with my very first ever bass (a Squier P-Bass with a 15w amp and viper cable nearly 10 years ago!) on my Washburn with Grolsch washers. Truckstop[/quote] Same here, without the washers. i only used it on my main bass for about a year and a half but its now on my Ibanez and still gets used at my gigs. Its lasted 4 years so far. It's too short though, but i only need that bass for about 4 songs so i can cope. Liam

Welcome to BassChat. You'll now spend every bit of spare time you have on here, i can promise you that. Liam
