Pino used a passive Stingray? Man's got taste

[quote name='thebuckets' timestamp='1334265397' post='1613655'] through which bad boys? the GK 4x10? cheers Bri [/quote] I was referring to Grubbs' Ashdown MAG... However the GK offerings are brilliant too if you can stretch the old cash margin!

Delicious! But I think that "guy" with the James May haircut is a woman

Out of those three i'd go for the Orange as well! Black pickguard too maybe?

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1334263357' post='1613594'] My pathetically small excuse for a pedalboard: [/quote] Looks like a great board to me dude! Though i'm sure you could squeeze two or three more in there

^^^ Markbass F1 + SansAmp through one of those bad boys sounds awesome, and much lighter than an Ampeg rig ^^^

I actually like the sound of Markbass heads through cheaper cabs. Ashdown are nice and warm Not as efficient as the matching cabs though, so I personally would go for something bigger than a 2x10

With regards to the Ashdown stuff, it's the same as any piece of equipment, it just doesn't tickle everyone's fancy. Funnily enough even though I normally prefer super expensive amps I actually LOVE Ashdown MAG amps and cabs! We all have different things that we like, and also some basses work with some amps and not others. You might love your Precision through an Ampeg SVT but hate it through my Markbass rig! But you might try a Jazz and decide it only sounds good through a... line 6 30w combo I totally agree with the suggestions that you go to a shop and try your bass through a bunch of other amps and see if anything else really grabs you. In my opinion a bass FEELING good and playing well is more important than the tone, so if yiu're happy with how yours feels i would recommend keeping it Anyways I hope you do come to a solution that makes you 100% happy !

Stageclix gets my vote too, heard it, but I haven't got one yet! cheapest i've seen the Jack system at is £350. The Line 6 ones (g30, g50, and the other rackmount one) are amazing too, not quite as high quality or as convenient as the Stageclix but I would say they're as close as you're gonna get. The g30 is also quite a bit cheaper than Stageclix

EBS make great pedals, but if you're into heavy compression/limiting then the MultiComp just doesn't cut it

First instrument for me was the violin. Experimented with a few more including the trumpet, and the electric guitar before deciding it was bass all the way!

I've only heard Nordy Big Singles and they are incredibly aggressive pickups, can't comment on the other two

[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1333674240' post='1605254'] But ultimately,as long as you play the correct notes,no one gives a sh*t if you fret it or not. Muting shouldn't be a problem,and the tonal difference is secondary to the actual pitch in the vast majority of cases. [/quote] When it comes to my personal playing I totally agree, I go for whatever's easiest most of the time. Unless I'm accenting with a nice aggressive whack. I always prefer open strings for that

With some basses, open notes sound very different to fretted notes, and you have to be more careful with muting. i can't think of any more reasons at the mo

[quote name='billyapple' timestamp='1333669638' post='1605223'] I thought It started ok, the band seem good in their own way. All until the singer opens his gob and draws a c*ck over the whole thing. Bizzare they didnt boot him out after the first rehearsal. Maybe he's from a wealthy family, and bought all the sw***y gear. And those tattoo's aint cheap [/quote] Yep, the music side of the band is nothing to be sneezed at, he's just a massive arse head. It's even worse live!

I didn't like the first one, but wow Jack Conte is awesome! Thanks for posting

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1333663137' post='1605174'] Sorry, who is this? [/quote] Oli Sykes, from Bring Me The Horizon. Please don't punish yourself by digging any further!
