My advice - get a pair of PZMs (pressure zone microphone).

You can record huge volumes with them - the design means they are always in phase regardless of room placement. You stick them on the wall and they use the entire wall as a sounding plate.

Tandy used to do them cheap - they were about £30.00 a pop - which were much more expensive capsules that didn't quite come up to spec, and without doubt the best cheap recording mic solution I have ever heard.

Needless to say they are very few and far between now, but keep your eyes open!

Check out the samples.

Nice, and very very small...

What ever it is its got to be funky...

37 Male, playing for 17 years (OMFG!) but just back from a few years off getting a 'proper' career.

Played everything from Big disco/funk bands to avante garde Japanese noise band inspired style stuff. Needed to use just about every technique to do that diverse a selection, except I am utter plop with a pick

Slap pop tap double thump fingerstyle (3 finger plucking mainly) - and I cant resist a bit of Les style strummy slap too.

Influences:-

Bootsy, Vic Woo10, Les C, Flea, Michael Manring, the Meters' guy, Bootsy and Bootsy

Fav B-line of all time - probably Soul To Squeeze by RHCP, unbelievably funky and melodic at the same time.

Oh and I am just soooo rusty now that I darent play in front of anyone at the moment - its just embarrasing, but give me a few months eh!

Crickey a co.uk based bass form. Excellent!

A surprisingly long while ago I was something of a bass monk - really dedicated to practise regimes and all that, playing all sorts of stuff in lots of bands, studied music at college and all. Sudden realisation that almost everyone in every band I was in was less dedicated than me (large number of time wasters applying as it were) and an onset of penniless rapidly approaching middling years led me to more or less quit, get some training and a 'decent' job. Now I'm less penniless - have said job etc - and so I thought I'd get back to some music, though in a much more relaxed fashion!

Nice to find such a good natured and well informed crowd

I never did get rid of my bass (God forbid!) - Vester custom shop (fancy version of the one that people refer to as the Warwick clone, which is actually not very accurate since the neck is way more playable than the tree trunks Warwick use, and the bridge is much closer to a Spector rip off) with after market EMG J's in it. Never found a bass I could play better - loads that sounded better, but the neck is just, well - right

Used to play out with 2 Laney 4x10s and 2 HH 1x15s powered by the Laney 300w stereo amp for the 4x10s and a Crown DC300 for the subs, huge sound unbelievable fandango, and more or less all gone now. Currently saving for that killer soounding little rig that all of a sudden exist - light small cheap (well not quite) killer tone and LOUD. So Markbass SA450 and either Aguilar GS112 (x2) or an Epifani 3 or 4 10 (4 ohm). Cant wait!

Hi,

First post on these boards

Where, out of interest, are you getting one of these for around £50?
