[quote name='carlosfandango' post='55560' date='Sep 4 2007, 09:45 PM']I use the Micro BR with a Sony stereo mic....fantastic. Records in MP3 of WAW format and it's dead easy to hook up to PC and transfer files and put on CD etc. On top ov that it's a 4 track portastudio, tuner, rythm machine, fx unit, trainer (you can lsow down tunes), MP3 player....the swiss army knife of the modern musician![/quote] Thanks, I think I will go for that, certainly looks the best on paper, not to mention the cheaper of the two !

Hi, Looking for a portable recording device for recording live shows - nothing complex, stereo mikes only with subsequent transferring to CD. Been looking at the "new" Boss Microstudio and the Zoom H4. Anyone got any thoughts or strong view on either product, or indeed whether there are any other recommendations. Cheers, John

[quote name='slaphappygarry' post='49214' date='Aug 22 2007, 10:17 PM']It was a brilliant show. Really enjoyed it and am gonna get the book. For someone who has played to 80,000 folk at a time, been on countless hits/albums/tour etc... i thought he was somewhat on the uncomfortable side on the stage. Even still its a must see. G[/quote] I guess you arent in touch so much with 80,000 people, also you can console yourself with the thought that 90% of them are totally wasted anyway. With this show, probably 90% of the people in the room were bass-players and relatively sober - now thats pressure !

Bought (another) one of Pete's monitors, great deal, easy transaction. Nice one Pete. Have bought a couple of other things from him in the past: 1. Hohner Cricket bat 2. Shure Wireless setup Both transactions smooth and painless and goods delivered as described !

Agreed, great night, well worth it - a great laugh and some wonderful stories !!

Just sold a wireless setup to Nick. Very good communication, friendly, decisive, arrived when he said he would, paid cash on the nail, what more can any seller ask for !!

Thanks Dave for organising it. Sorry I had to leave early and missed some of you. Enjoyed the short time that I was there !

Have bought and sold with some of you - feedback welcome

[quote name='The Funk' post='46455' date='Aug 16 2007, 02:43 PM']With the quality and range of equipment for sale on these forums, secondhand is a very good option.[/quote] Go for 300w on the basis you can always turn it down for quieter gigs and the headroom is always good. The big factor is your budget. If you can push a bit more than you've got then you will be rewarded with better sound quality and delivery. If you cant, theres nothing wrong with the Behringers to get you started, but they dont hold their value that well and you will need to apply more cash to upgrade when the time comes. 2. Get an amp with a mid range tone control. Pushing up the mids does more for cutting through than the bass control. 3. 1x15 with mid range or tweeter, dont do what I did and start with just a 1x15, you will shake the floor, but thats about it. More, smaller speakers will throw your sound to the back of the room. 3. Scout the second-hand pages of this site, there are plenty of good bargains about 4. At Jams, use the backline provided, unless your band is running the jam. Its generally bad form to turn up with your own gear at a jam and push the existing kit to one side, especially if its better quality than yours. Good luck

[quote name='ped' post='46288' date='Aug 16 2007, 11:13 AM']Terrabass - pickup with Sandberg logo is called a Sandberg pickup... The 'Delano' badged pickup on some of the basses is indeed a Delano, however some of the pictures show a Delano pickup when the specs say it is a Sandberg and vice versa - I presume you can choose whatever you want.[/quote] Not sure, have to check tonight. But its certainly a strong sound (although that may be the pre-amp) and its definitely not chunky ! Trying to get to the bash for at least the morning, but I am putting the Sandberg into the gallery for a set up tomorrow so wont be able to bring it this time. G string is choking off too much and I cant get it right myself. If I'm there, will bring the Corvette $$ 5 - as an example of a bass on the chunkier side !

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='46275' date='Aug 16 2007, 11:00 AM']I can only speak from my experiences of Warwicks but 'chunky' 'heavy'... never! I hear it regularly that Warwick [u]necks[/u] are chunky but I've owned many and I've never ever had one that I would describe thus (however, Dolphin necks are wide)! These have all been thru-necks and I prefer the quality of workmanship on the 80's early 90's models so I have pretty much zilch info on the later bolt-ons but I can't imagine they are any chunkier than some basses that I've tried of late. If you are talking chunky/heavy bodies... absolutely not! Well that's my bit on that particular German brand. The Sandberg thing was entertaining, cheers for that![/quote] Agreed, the Bullet booster is not chunky at all (and I also own two Warwicks which are definitely much chunkier!). More like the Ibanez Gary Willis bass (which is why I bought it).

[quote name='ped' post='46265' date='Aug 16 2007, 10:38 AM']I haven't heard many great things about the Sandberg pickups - They look a lot like Delano pickups but apparently are a bit weak. Cool video, thanks for sharing.[/quote] Chris, I thought they were Delanos. I have a bullet booster fretless 4 and was always under the impression that it was Delano loaded. Cant watch the video at work as I will be sacked if I try....

[quote name='steve' post='46230' date='Aug 16 2007, 09:21 AM']but probably good for suppressing the sale price[/quote] Unless you are the one who is selling.....
