I like the first one best.

Where did you get these done?

Enjoy playing at the pit of cocks... erm... I mean the Cockpit.

Hey there Mr Mild.

I've played that very bass! It's a goodie. Great value for money, I'm surprised you haven't sold it yet!

Have a bump on me.

[quote name='chris_b' post='425875' date='Mar 5 2009, 10:32 AM']Sounds like you're carrying the wrong kind of 4x10. My Epifani 410 weighs less than 2 112 cabs and, in my opinion, sounds better.[/quote]



That IS the cab I'm carrying around! It's very light, and it's got a great sound, but it's still difficult getting it out of my basement every time I need to use it. I'ts more the size that's the problem.

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='425658' date='Mar 5 2009, 12:11 AM']I use a LMII head and a Schroeder 1212r cab. Can carry the head in a bag and my bass and cab in either hand!

It's loud enough for every gig i've done with it including some big halls and i prefer it to a combo

EDIT: This cab looks like a very good option if you're in the market

Looks good to me. I wish I was in the market, as such, right now. Money's a little tight. Although I'd like to get one, because I want something a little more portable than what I've already got.

Does anyone ever have problems playing with our loud cousins the drummers?

Hello there.

A quick question. What kinds of small amps do people use? Like, for example, the Mark Bass CMD 102P.

What kind of gigs do you use them for?

It gets kind of irritating carrying 'round a 4x10!

No gear and no idea!

Plus you don't get treated like an idiot in the Gallery.

He's more wise than he appears at first!

One thins that helps is this:

A good transcription will be easy to read - that means despite the many ways of representing various rhythms, the easiest to read rhythm is the best.

No apology necessary. There's more than one way to deal with these things!

Although, as you said, you should always do these things with goodwill, even if the person you're dealing with is a total idiot. Just politely decline if they can't meet the terms of your agreement. Short and sweet!

Even though it's tucked away inside, it still satisfies my tendencies for tidiness!

Don't forget you have to ring the bell on the front door. The place kind of looks closed otherwise- due to the grates across the window, but hey, it is London!

[quote name='funnyfreddie' post='417687' date='Feb 23 2009, 06:49 PM']Here’s the rub. You may piss someone off this way and they will never book you again.[/quote]

Well... do you really want to be professionally or personally involved with people like that?

+1 to getting it in writing!

E-mails will even do. Especially after a phone call or conversation- making a note of what was discussed and agreed, and sending an e-mail with those details relaid back. And don't forget to include the killer line 'Please inform me if any of the details are incorrect.' No reply = conformation.

You can always take him to the small claims court if he won't pay you- although I've never had to do anything of the sort. Has anyone esle?

Well, it's all fixed now. This is what happens when you get a professional to do it:

Here's the cavity properly properly shielded, i.e. the foil helping the conductive paint and foil of pickguard make contact.



Here's one of the pickups when shielded. It's not on this picture, but the foil shielding has a cable soldered to it which is then attached to the ground point in the cavity.



Here's the electronics when properly finished. The second photo shows the extent to which this chap takes care- all the joints are shrink wrapped, and cable are tied and grouped.




Here's it all put together!



The best bit about this, he did it all for £30. What a lovely man.

In regards to the online guide which the wiring is taken from - it's not mentioned that the signal grounds (pickups and preamp) and the equipment grounds (bridge and pickup shields) make contact through the tip end of the resistor at the output jack - the lower jack terminal in the posts above. This is a very important point - I forgot to mention this, which left me with a massive hum.

I've put some DR Fat Beams on it, and it sounds awesome!

Cheers for the advice guys.

I've decided to get some outside help - in the form of someone who knows what they're doing, i.e. someone who's just finished building their own compressor.

I'll be taking some pictures today, so I'll show you all what he's done. It all looks very neat now.

Was a cool event. Lovely to meet everyone!

Looking forward to the next one.

Jake_Tenfloors has made me want a Fafner too! GAS time!

You're not the only one!

Stupid alarm that doesn't go off so I miss the train that'll get me there on time!

Lift anyone?

Indeed you are!

I'll give it a try when I'm next doing a transcription.

[quote name='Faithless' post='409688' date='Feb 14 2009, 08:30 PM']Well, maybe, the thing, I'm saying, you already know, but, if not, when transcribing parts, it's a good method to put the track octave or even two octaves [b]up[/b], of course, in the particular key, where you're already transcribing in - then it's real delight to transcribe bass parts!


Сheers,
Faith.[/quote]

Am i missing something here?!

[quote name='Faithless' post='409659' date='Feb 14 2009, 07:49 PM']But, as I suppose, ya don't feel any octaver there, ye, mate? [/quote]

I do not. I'm guessing you're referring to me.

He's got a very fluffy tone though - I've had to do an EQ job to try and hear the quick playing he's doing because there's no definition.

What a coincidence! I'm currently transcribing 'Wait Until Tomorrow' - note for note, as accurately as I can get it!

Here's what I've done so far:



His playing is deceptively simple!

[quote name='William James Easton' post='409400' date='Feb 14 2009, 01:38 PM']Get off the train at Hornbeam Park. One stop before Harrogate. Go up to the road and you want to be walking Up hill to the right. Then walk about 500-600 meters (houses on your left and grass/field on your right) and take your 4th left (hookstone ave) then abou 250m take your first left and you will see it infront of you.
hope that helps.[/quote]

Cheers for that - the google map appears to be a little confusing.

Can someone give me precise directions to the venue from the train station?

Also, If anyone's coming through Leeds (neer Burley Park), then I'd love a lift (petrol money included, of course)!

I've got an EUB. Does that count. Although it's not my first (of bass) instruments.
