I just bought an NS CR4M from on here, it's very portable, much so than a 'real DB' and can sound very much like a real DB, at least to my ears anyway. It's also quite easy to play, I only got it yesterday but I'm planning on using it for a couple of tunes on a gig tomorrow afternoon. Do a search on talkbass in their DB forum, I should guess that the basses you mention are a bit more common over there. There's a very cool looking EUB for sale here, I almost bought it before I saw my NS. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=43385"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=43385[/url]

There's one on the Gallery website...... [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/status.html"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/status.html[/url]

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='451791' date='Apr 1 2009, 05:54 PM']Am I correct in believing he's polish? Anyways, insulting people spoils it for those who have a genuine and serious interest in understanding what these people have to say, regardless of whether they agree with it or not. That doesn't impose a requirement on everyone to suck up but chips-on-shoulders won't be welcome either.[/quote] He's from London, his dad was Polish hence the name. I agree with everything you say about hoping people don't spoil it for others, there are a lot of people on here, mysellf included who do want to improve as players, and having people like Janek, Steve and Jeff Berlin can only be a good thing.

[quote name='bootleg' post='451440' date='Apr 1 2009, 01:14 PM']That would be amazing. Ever had anything like that before on Basschat?[/quote] Should be interesting after what happened to Steve Lawson and Janek Gwizdala.

I fancy an 'all in one' floor mount effects to save carrying my rack about. I only use chorus, delay and reverb sounds, how do they sound compared to the ones on the GT10B. The GT10B has a looper which is a bonus.

I mentioned it some time ago, I guess there are so many postings that items soon get moved down. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=41173&hl=dublin"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...3&hl=dublin[/url]

I'm going to this week long improvistaion workshop, just wondered if anyone else was going to it. [url="http://www.berklee.edu/summer/dublin.html"]http://www.berklee.edu/summer/dublin.html[/url]

A friend of mine knows someone who attended, he taught him privately for as bit to get him up to the standard for the course. He too found it really helpful to his playing of music. There's playing music and playing bass.

I once played two Alembic basses in the Gallery, both the same model, same electronics through the same amp, different woods and both sounded totally different.

I like the Berg stuff, and I totally agree about tweeters, I hate them. I have a Berg EX112ER it's a superb very 'flat' sounding cab, no loss of top end at all.

Thanks, I might order one of the Brooklyn gear comfort straps.

I've got a comfort strap and a Fender leather strap st the moment. I find them both uncomfortable though, my bass is a bit on the heavy side and I do a lot of playing. Just recently my shoulder has been aching a bit. The comfort strap tends to sink into my shoulder I'm very skinny you see, and the leather one isn't padded enough. So I'd like a good one, preferably leather (even though I'm a vegetarian), padded and very comfortable. Cheers.

Following on from my previous post about the Roland GR-20. Midi bass is something I've been thinking about for ages, it'd be really useful in my one band which is kind of an experimental jazz band, just a trio with me a sax player and a drummer. Synth pads would be cool, I currently use an Ebow to try and achieve the right sound. I now have a looper so I could loop the bass part and play over it, again with synth pad sounds and I hope lead synth sounds like Jan Hammer and Chick Corea , piano sounds would be cool too. My favourite at the moment is the Roland GR-20, but the Axon AX-100 seems to get really good reviews too. I'm having a Sei fretless 6 built, that's having a Graphtech piezo pickup built in to the bridge, that'll have midi capability, for my fretted the Roland GK-3B or GKK-2B seem to be the best. Any midi experts out there want to chime in and give some much appreciated advice.
