I am getting on fine with the SR4 Simon - it is a good bass, and I love the finish. I prefer it to my old maple necked one which I sold a couple of years back. How is the cab going? I owuld be keen to try the $$

I can bring my SR5, GandL 2500 and SR4. And my Mrkbass stuff if necessary/andyone wants to check it out?

the car park is not huge, but there is one, with probably 20-30 spaces I think? The area is fairly residential though, so you should be able to drop gear off and then park up 5 mins away if necessary I would think.

Excellent,just down the road.... I thought I was going to be on holiday, but I am here after all, so will be there. Do we know about timings at all yet? Lets do a list to which folk can add?? moody budget bassist birdy nottswarwick Chris

Very good choice with the 3500 Hartke. I had one in the past and it was great. I dont think you would regret buying one for the money. My choice would be a 4*10, but this is where it is up to your ears to decide. I just think the 4*10 is a better "single cab" option than a 15".

Ive got one - it is great.

strings on the gl are daddario super long nickels. stingray are nickel slinkys

actually, now you menton it the circle clip with the sr4 was through the multicomp and yes, the radial jdi. i always ise the jdi live. but the other two clips were g #and l direct into the desk. sounds good, loads of organic depth.

mmm, which is series actually, middle switch towards bride or neck. I did mine with the switch towards the neck - the lounder setting, always thought this is series, I may in fact be wriong. Anyone?

sounds nice - what settings?

yep, I think it will be one for a good few years to be honest.

nice mate, qulaity stuff there. How are you finding the SR5?

thanks. Yeah, I usually use the GL in active mode too, but wanted to see how it recorded in passive, and I think it sounds really full and "organic". Ruby is a great tune to play - like alot of really good pop songs it is very well crafted and put together, with lots of subtle changes and different bits to it. We like playing it.

Right, I am putting some basic demo tracks together for a band of mine. Nothing too fancy, just so that venues can hear us if they want to. As part if this I have tracked some bass, as you do. Again nothing fancy, and pretty much one take stuff directo into the desk then into cubase. So we have the following. The Circle - Stingray4, totally flat EQ, full volume, through my EBS Multicomp only. This has guitars on it too, as you will hear [url="http://www.chrispidgeon.co.uk/audio/splinter/demo/Circle%20Wav2.wav"]Circle[/url] Ruby - Gand L 2500, neck pickup, passive mode, tones on max, series mode (dubjunkie recommended this for a Pbass sound, and he is right I think). No multicomp, straight into the desk [url="http://www.chrispidgeon.co.uk/audio/splinter/demo/ruby%20bass%20and%20drums.wav"]ruby[/url] Drift Away - GandL 2500, bridge pickup, passive mode, tones on max, parallel mode. [url="http://www.chrispidgeon.co.uk/audio/splinter/demo/drift%20away%20bass%20adn%20drums.wav"]drift away[/url] So, 3 different bass tones - just thought folk might be interested in what they sound like, especially the GandL. If you can listen thru phones or a decent setup this will obviously give the best representation. Hope this might be useful to someone. Cheers Chris

dood, how do you link it with the head - do you play bass straight into the compressor, or do you use the eff. loop?
