which parts make the most (and least) difference to sound quality?
MythSte replied to jon999's topic in Repairs and Technical
[quote name='Machines' post='215926' date='Jun 10 2008, 09:23 AM']For me it's pickups, EQ and then strings.[/quote] I'd have those in reverse presonally! Strings, EQ then pickups -

I remeber a wise man once telling me "your hi-fi is only as good as your worst component" Although its not 100% applicable if your going to be making them completely from hand people will want the best! -
[quote name='wateroftyne' post='215049' date='Jun 8 2008, 07:22 PM']Why must I be tempted with so many new cabs, when there's nowt wrong with what I have? Damn GAS. Anyway... the Zoots.... the 2x15 is 20 quid cheaper than the 2x12. Is that not a bit odd?[/quote] No horn on the 215, no crossover either i would presume - probably explains it!
-
I wonder if he could knock me up one of those 2x15's with a horn...! hmm

This board is becoming really rather internationally spiced isnt it! Wonderful! Whats that pleasureboard all about AREA? I think i've heard of them?

[quote name='dood' post='213589' date='Jun 5 2008, 11:52 PM']Interestingly, on a related note, sweaty fingers can exacerbate the likelyhood of blisters. Keep ya mits dry and.. again, don't dig in too hard.[/quote] I didnt know that actually! Although it does make sense when i think about it. Best part of being a bassist? Being able to lift beans out of the microwave. ohhhh yeahhh
-
Well thats the head sorted, just a cab then! I think youll need more than a single cab if your going to want that much low - maybe 2 aguilar 112s? theres a ported markbass 210 on here that might put out more than youd think too
-
You might find markbass and their vintage loudspeaker emulator knob could do it for you, drops all the highs giving a really nice dub reggea tone.
-
Ive just been hunting for that, thanks paul!
-
I know the one, it was dubbed the orangular i believe and +1 for sexiest rig on bc
-
Ive heard the beetles re-mastered to 5.1 on sa-cd through a high(ish) end denon system and my god it was something. But it still left a little to be desired after hearing the same track through a decent 2 way hi fi.
-
Bummer, it might! And thanks for the endorsement mike! I wont be sad if this one dosnt go -
Im just on a bit of a quest to find something more suited to my new bacchus jazz - This is a wonderful amp, and sounded brilliant with my bongo, but i had to move that on for a tone more suited to my band. This amp has bark in abundance, anyone whos a fan of the chillis will recognise this tone in an instant. However if you roll back the boost and use the eq a bit its not difficult to take it back a little. In near mint condition. Anyway, im looking to try pretty much anything! Nothing sub 350 watts mind. maybe a markbass? something tubey? really, anything! [i]Wireless not included[/i] Hit me up with what you got
-
Aha, i do apologise finbar! I was only suggesting! ^_^ Anyway, id advise you checking out using only a tube pre before you dive in as it is a very different sound to an all tube head. as for suggestions... ee eck! id personally shove the 4x12 and get a whole new rig. I think some modern 15's would suit you, maybe the markbass 2x15? that coupled with a mesa Mpulse... phwoar!

[quote name='Viajero' post='209448' date='May 30 2008, 10:23 AM']There was a thread on this about a year ago, if I remember correctly. I always say Eye-ban-ez, but there's a case for pronouncing it the Spanish way (as it presumably originated), either Ee-ban-eth or Ee-ban-yeth (though there's no ñ so the chance of the latter is slim).[/quote] I believe i started that one! Although it was on amps and cabs methinks. bergantino? berjantino? epifarrniee? epiphany? batch-us? Bacchus? bay-ring-er? Be-rinj-er? POS? ( ) Sad-ow-ski? Sad-ow-Sky?
-
Well, as its a well known vintage guitar dealer, surely they must know whats going on?! Have you e-mailed them telling them? i dont wish to insult your intelligence but this has really got to me for some reason, possibly as i have so much respect for jamerson!
-
name and shame man. No two ways about it.

[quote name='bassmanady' post='209211' date='May 29 2008, 09:58 PM']When my mrs wonderfull visits my studio she only says"how long before that ones on Ebay, your never happy with your sound"... ouch!! she's so right[/quote] Im only 17 and i get that off my lady!
-
Id like to echo all the above, if you hit a bum note, bahh, it happens! I hit at least 3 wrong notes per gig, and apparently we're playing that glastonbury thing! (que "i got kicked out of my band" thread ) Just take it all in, it'll go faster than you can imagine!
-
I find my EHX micro synth to be quite useful when used sparingly!! for example ill only whack it on when theres a drum fill and i want a nice bbwwwwaaaaaarrrrrrrp-ching! over it Id like to try the prunes and custard though as the ehx dosnt do fuzzy synth very well. the filters are immense but uts a shame!
-
I play drum and bass metal fusion, does that count?
-
Does the sound of your bass make you go, "OH YES!"?
MythSte replied to OutToPlayJazz's topic in General Discussion
Half and Half! I've just recieved a Bacchus jazz and with fingerstyle and pick its a definate grin! But is beat by the bongo for slap tone -
[quote name='hughcanbefound' post='207408' date='May 27 2008, 05:47 PM']I've heard lots of horrible things about Squier from my guitarist friends. Are their basses better? -H[/quote] In a word, yes! The VM series (vintage modified) are absaloutly cracking basses. id stay away from the affinity series, but thats only with the experiance of one bass and it could have been a lemon. There probably are better basses for your budget, but you couldnt get a brilliant vintage modified jazz and have change - with a good setup im sure it'll play better than anything else that end of the market.
