I don't ever use picks but I kinda want one...

I'm sure everybody knows what I'd say here but just incase... ...ACG is never a bad shout.

[quote name='Iain' timestamp='1433411235' post='2790809'] Nicely played, sounded great to me. Sweet bass too. [/quote] Thank ya [quote name='Skybone' timestamp='1433414757' post='2790842'] Beautiful bass. [/quote] I certainly think so!

[quote name='Bassaio' timestamp='1433367359' post='2790567'] maybe it's not so porn like others... but it's kinda sexy to me :-D [/quote] I'd say it counts if we overlook those strings! Wanted one of these for ages but never even tried one unfortunately!

The previous idea has went a bit on the back burner at the mo due to laziness but recorded this earlier on today. Excuse the screw ups but the bass is really (probably) too high up compared to the track so nice and easy to hear.

I'm not going but after having a look at the lineup. The only band I know of (that I like) playing on a small stage is Sylosis on the Friday! Well worth checking out if you like heavier stuff!

The internet never ceases to amaze me

Another one for a second hand Warwick on here. Ibanez feel great in my experience with them but in a mix a German Warwick blows it out the water (opinion of course).

now that is gorgeous!

now that is gorgeous!

I know (as I've spoke a few times) the guy who makes these. I'm sure if you ask for coloured layers he'd be more than happy to do so! I felt the strat prototype he had last year, not lightweight by any means but it did look cool

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1433111800' post='2788017'] It's finished. I'd love to share a photograph with BC but I can't because I'm pretty sure if I fire a camera at it, the headstock'll fall off. Y'know, because it's a Gibson and they're well known for neck dive and spontaneous headstock detachment syndrome. [/quote] You have a point, do us a drawing instead?

My board as it currently stands : TC Polytune Mini 2 > Darkglass B3K > MXR Bass Octave Deluxe > MXR Bass Envelope Filter > EHX Memory Toy delay. All powered by the MXR Power Brick. The bass octave and the delay are both new additions so looking forward to using them at rehearsals.

I don't unfortunately but creepily enough I almost posted this exact same topic earlier on yesterday! If you do get a shot of one let us know your thoughts? I'm still on the fence about wether one would be worth the expense of not.

If there are bits of the solo off key them say. If I was playing something out of the songs key and didn't realise it I'd want to be told. Certainly wouldn't want to look like a fool on stage!

Had great service from them too. Was down in England at a friend's house last year as I was buying a bass from him but couldnt find a case that would fit it. Gave Bass Gear a ring and they measured the case and I had it the next day (I ordered around 3 o clock I believe). They also offered to measure some strings for me when Iwasnt sure if certain brands would fit or not.

Only had one bass up until recentlybut had a spare strap lying around and each strap has it's own bass (mainly dictated by "the more comfortable strap goes on the heavy bass"). They both have different branded straplocks so it'd be a pain switching them every time I wanted to take the other bass out.

I wouldn't say I compromise "my sound" for a band mix but I do change it slightly in order for it to cut through. In sections where I'm the only one playing I do find sometimes it sounds a bit naff but generally after a while of playing the same part I can change the sound by changing where/how my right hand attacks the strings.

It's a fairly standard design but I've always loved the glitter/colour combination that MXR use on their envelope filter. Looks great in the flesh to my eye.

Little follow up since I've now lived with the bass for a fortnight and had a few rehearsals. I'm getting more used to the preamp (not 100% yet but getting there at my own (read: slow) pace!). Band mates love how it sounds and how it feels to play -yes I was [s]stupid[/s] brave enough to let them have a go-. I'm working on getting sound samples done. Think I'm going to record a chord progression and play over that using different sounds I can get from the bass but will take a week or so I imagine as my recording and playing abilities aren't upto much! It'll be recorded directly into a Fast Track Solo interface into Reaper so not world class recording equipment but it'll hopefully give a vague idea! Aim is to not use any plugins of any kind either so it'll just be direct sound of the bass and nothing else.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1432742732' post='2784514'] Thats worth knowing... I assume the sleeve will have the same issue? I have an M80 but was thinking of going for the sleeve, maybe not now! [/quote] It's maybe worth giving bass direct/gear a call and find out. I use the vertigo case for my basses (5strings) and find they are a perfect fit but it would definitely struggle with a 6er.

I know where you're coming from. Just had my first real rehearsal since getting my new bass and guitarist said the same thing! Good feeling, eh?
