    Fane Speakers for Bass Guitar

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    Didn't Trace Elliot use 15" Fanes in the good old days? My old MKV Trace 1518 cab certainly has a (now sadly blown) 15" Fane driver. Got a great sound from it too! Was planning to replace it with a Fane Axiom but never got round to it. I just use my 4x10 now. :rolleyes:

    Here's another vote for the TU-2/3. There's one from May in the Effects for sale section

    No indication it's been sold and only £45

    Well it definitely looks better than his previous offering.
    You should check his 'Other Items' for a bit of a hoot; he has a plectrum cut from a brass Sabian cymbal which will totally wreck your strings I'd imagine, an old wardrobe/drawer key (?) which is 'A must for any collector' apparently and oddest of all, "Plans on how to build your own penis enlarger"!
    Although if you do fancy a sly bid on aforementioned 'penis enlarger plans' rest assured, he promises discretion! :lol:

    Never tried it, but I imagine anything by Leonard Cohen?[/quote]

    We have two Cohen tracks in our set - 'Ain't no cure for Love' and 'Tower of Song'. Not really 'dancey' tracks but they always go down well!
    'Superstition' by Stevie Wonder and 'Standing on the Verge of Getting It On' by Funkadelic, on the other hand... Well, needless to say we dropped those two. No pleasing some audiences! :D

    Need some interesting grooves to learn

    Work on getting ONE note to groove, use space and accent to make that one note groove. Set up the simplest, mid tempo, Boom Tish Boom Tish drum pattern, see if you can make that one note groove. When you can, and you're getting excited by it, do something with that one note that stops it grooving. Switch between the two and try to work out what it is that causes that those feelings. Then add little things to your grooves, build it slowly. Feel it.

    What should be my next Bass Fuzz Try out

    in Effects

    Posted

    I see you mentioned the MXR Bass Fuzz Deluxe. I tried one out and wasn't that impressed to be honest so I opted for the El Grande instead. Plenty of usable tones, relatively easy to come by second hand, dead simple to use and with the internally adjustable 'Deep' switch you can add plenty of bottom too. :)

    Ebow *Plus* boxed in mint condition

    Received the ebow yesterday and spent hours with it trying it with different basses and different combinations of pedals getting some fantastic sounds.
    I honestly have no idea why I didn't invest in one earlier! I have one word (and a few 'plus' signs) to des[size=4]cribe this little plastic wonde[/size]r:
