worth the 2 grand asking price?

just echoing whats being said before really doubling the same di channel rarely makes any sense due to phasing however using a mic or mic's on the bass amp can be nice depending on how good your bass tone is on its own. dont forget that your di signal is exactly the same as the signal thats going to the bass amp anyway so its not too much hassle to just resend your di signal to a micd amp during the mixing stage so usually for most sessions ive done i've been on a di and let the mix engineer do his thing afterwards

spotted a pm is winging its way to you now paul

hi guys so as you may have seen i've offered for jim to use my hard case for the bass relay which will be auctioned off at the end along with the bass. The issue is that i'm in london and he's in portsmouth and so i was wondering if anyone was making the journey between london and portsmouth in the near future and would be able to transport the case between the two of us? thanks Chris

[quote name='Jimryan' timestamp='1358092373' post='1932926'] If you're sure matey, just need a way of getting it here. A case would be a great help [/quote] anyone traveling to Portsmouth in the near future? surely there must be someone on here?

if needs be i have a stagg hard case i could donate to the cause

haha sounds brilliant i'm definitely up for this lets get it sorted out and started

wow considering i have to sight read on pretty much a weekly basis (shows and big bands) my reading sucks time for a bit of work i think good tool though thanks for the heads up

skateboard grip tape little bit on the top works for me same for pedals as well

having had the two side by side in a studio environment the beta 58 is clearly better than an sm 58 a lot flatter response worth the extra dosh imo (ducking for cover now) chris

bit late but just fyi its a 12 bar blues round and round /c /f /c /c / /f /f /c /c / /g /f /c /g / those are the chords

can pick up a second hand mark bass traveler for between £300 - £400 plenty of poke and your back will thank you

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1357736401' post='1927440'] I just heard "Men in black" by Will Smith for the first time in years, and realised how funky the bassline in that was, so i suppose that's the first one. [/quote] thats a tune called forget me not by patrice rushen [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amzp7W0RkPA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amzp7W0RkPA[/url] but granted still a great bass line

wow talk about alienating people before you've spoken to them no need for adverts like that its not cool and its not rock and roll

my way to deal with ledger lines is to find myself benchmarks for example 3 ledger lines is G (12th fret g string) 2 is E and one is C that way its a lot quicker to work out notes i find reading actual songs a lot nicer than just short pieces (try playing through a section of a song without listening to it) and also this will be more representative of acctual reading see the thread here with loads of transcriptions to try [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/155000-individual-songs-bass-scoredots-where-from/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/155000-individual-songs-bass-scoredots-where-from/[/url] in terms of exams the exams i've done in sight reading have been a case of you walk in have 2 minutes (or some short amount of time) to look at the piece and then your asked to play

[quote name='thunderider' timestamp='1357055690' post='1916854'] are ashdowns really anygood...as they well cheap secondhand?? [/quote] going slightly off topic, imho they're not bad pretty reliable however they're not very versatile they do one particular sound (warm rock) well however if you dont like that sound then you wont think much of them they had them at tech for a while so i've played through pretty much the entire range and the only one i liked was the mark king signature im sure the ashdown crew will be along shortly to tell me how wrong i am

talking the high fidelity crew out to the odney club in cookham for the john lewis nye bash looking forward to it

i only play one bass which is a bacchus jazz bass 5 with bartolini pups and a j retro with that preamp it does everything i ask of it. I do own another bass which is a washburn xb120 but it doesnt have strings on it at the moment

just had an email from an artist saying that he want to use a different line up of musicians to "experiment with different musical influences" wouldn't mind but the artist is a personal friend of mine and an email seems a bit of a cop out really and a bit unpersonal

nice to meet you dude, welcome to basschat, might be worth a nose round the for sale sections on here if your looking for a bass some good deals to be had.

great minds think alike just wonder how much of a pain taking a tuning peg apart to paint is

trick i use if a lines particularly difficult is to listen to a little chunk say one line of the verse at a time and then try to imitate it without the track and then with the track and repeat as necessary makes an impossible song into possible chunks disclaimer i've not listened to the yt clip as it wont work for me so just some general advice

judicious googling turns up nothing my suggestion is some black or chrome ones and a tin of this [url="http://www.wickes.co.uk/satin-metal-spray-paint-white-400ml/invt/163097/"]http://www.wickes.co.uk/satin-metal-spray-paint-white-400ml/invt/163097/[/url]

i think the main point for me here is that its an offer which means you don't have to take it for example i recently sold a pedal on here worked out a price i was happy with and posted it at that i had a couple of people offer me lower one guy knocking 20% off the asking price (hardly a massive hit i know) but i held firm and eventually sold it for my original asking price politly reminding the guy that he'd overpaid me by a fiver as i counted the money. i guess my point is that any lowball offer that you consider insulting is only that because you are unsure of your asking price set a price that is "realistic" (of course everyones opinion of this will be different) but have the confidence to stick to your guns imo if you dont want to be subject to lowballing just simply put "no offers accepted" on your sale this then makes it clear that you've listed the item at your price and thats the price you want for it apologies i seem to have rambled on
