Well! With a twisty and turny few weeks of gear and work, ive finally found a deal thats going ahead! My markbass sold within minutes and my schroeder is currently in the workshop getting some TLC after a nasty bump last weekend - so i made ends meet on a deal i just couldnt refuse! Anyway, i wont spoil the surprise, but i CAN tell you i will be paying a certain basschatter a visit on sunday after a very long drive. And i dont think most of you will believe he's parting with it! [i]Can ya tell whdit is yet?[/i] Edit:- Oh, and for those in the know... SHHHH!!!

[quote name='BassManKev' post='256818' date='Aug 6 2008, 11:53 PM']where do some of you younger guys get the money from! when i was 16, the idea of me being able to afford a stingray bass was hillarious! although i didnt start playin bass til 2 years later...[/quote] Im only 17 going into my second year of college and have a Bacchus Jazz - Lots of weekend graft thats all!! I shall post up a latest aquisition photo after sunday... Cant wait! (No spoiling the surprise those that know!!)

I know they did the teardrop guitars and basses, and some European company recently started making good quality replicas IIRC. Never done anything for me, but they do have a huge following!

Well we do three, two hour sessions a week. and thats not including writing and recording. but i consider that very heavy, and we are opting out of the third for now as its tiring!

I DONT think a full day of practice is very beneficial. maybe 2 hours at a time seems to be the constructive limit of everyone i know. then repeat this as often as possible. Obviously, this seems impossible with your shift work, would a couple of hour sessions a week be possible?

Its a thirst that wont go away. Im drinking soon, you should too

[url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ashdown-Mag-C210-T-300---Mag-EVO-II~ID~3071.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~A...-II~ID~3071.asp[/url] [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product.asp?id=9003"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product.asp?id=9003[/url][/quote] I think so yes - Theres a big thread about ashdown basically saying the tens are lot more defined than the 15's - I personally cant compare the mag series but know its true of the ABM. Anyway, in amps and cabs there is the ashdown humble pie thread, go have a read

I think the Egotistical teachers are becoming fewer and further between, but it was very good of you to do this for us all! I shall have a browse thats for sure.

I put my markbass Through an ABM810 supporting sonic boom six the other day. Sounded cracking actually!

I just dance like a motherlicker ^_^ Although it must be difficult from a funk perspective. Take a look at JK, Hes doing all the grooving thats for sure. Personally, i find coordinated movs in a band a bit cheesy.

I still want to start a "Basschat Steve Club" Im a Stephen, and ive messaged five steves in the last two weeks!

I might try and persuade ped to sell me his... hmm!

I believe some of the Design Programs have tone generators on them, so just take a line from your PC too your amp then through your speaker. Im sure google will throw up a few results for online tone generators also Edit, [url="http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0-1-0.html?qt=tone+generator&tag=nav.p"]Here we are[/url]

Sorry dave, i know other options have been done to death but just a little more food for thought! Whenever i use my schroeder at volume i find messing with the EQ gets rid of some of that compression your talking about, i mean seriously messing. Id be interested to hear if more watts works out for you though! So for experimnets sake you know, Go for it!

I was supposed to just be referring just to the CL in my post, If thats not what i said, thats what i meant to say!!
