bought my boss syb5 pedal - swift payment - thanks

original published key is F major [url="http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtdVPE.asp?ppn=MN0041485"]http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtdVPE.asp?ppn=MN0041485[/url]

here i am tyring to find the funds to upgrade my squier J to a nice pair of wizards as my christmas treat and now i have J-retro GAS too

in no particular order jaco chris squire victor bailey patrick ohearn stanley clarke

interesting - am googling now for a clip of mike oldfield playing that acoustic bass

i have seen plenty of 6 strings but i must confess this is the first live clip ive seen of a zemaitis bass unless anybody else knows any different [url="http://youtu.be/xrqQTrzeTBE"]http://youtu.be/xrqQTrzeTBE[/url]

i once very stoopidly placed an effects pedal in a case with my 77 black/maple strat after a bit of shaking and jiggling later i had a nice chunk out of the lacquer and wood, mid neck right under under the thumb line

for that amount beer tokens try a squier J and fit it with a pair of wizards and a gotoh bridge warning! youll prob end up using it as your main bass

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1322745042' post='1455198'] I'd take both the eBay lister and the TalkBass posts with a pinch of salt as it says nothing about how the cabinet or indeed about how the gear is being used. e.g. driving excessive low end (sub frequencies) in to it. I'd say that about any person making general comments about any gear. There's no fact in the reference to the power handling. I could make a speaker cabinet 'fart out' with not a great deal of power which could lead to premature failure of the speaker. Or maybe, just unlucky, the guy had a faulty cabinet? It does happen after all. [/quote] good point - im inclined to agree as ive not had much in the way of adverse feedback on here that would support the original ebay posters 'opinion' or found anywhere else on the interweb my own gut feeling is to go with the hydrive 1x15 and the lh500 - my hydrive 4x10 is a beast and im very confident of its capabilities so hopefully will be likewise for the 1x15

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1322905443' post='1457100'] I am sure someone will come along who knows for sure. The double stops and shakes do sound like mod wheel & pitch bends though. Garry [/quote] its not the easiest of things to google either! - at least ive just learned that vinnie colauita is on the credits for it! never realised that before

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1322869396' post='1456978'] Oh well - i got that wrong.. Although it does sound like the DX7 Fretless Bass patch, The same one as 'Take My Breath away' - Berlin. And just about every Pub Duo using Backing tracks. Garry [/quote] not being a synth exp but form my experience of previously owning a roland super jd it does sound like some of the fretless and acoustic bass patches in the roland did roland make a bass version of their guitar synth pickup (edit - and if they did was it available at the time of the recording? i think their first bolt on guitar synth pick up was early 90s ish so guess that might be to late?) - i would agree that the whole tone does sound like patches but some of the lines played sound like they fit better on strings rather keys if you catch my drift my ears (and the technology timeline) would suggest synth but my fingers are saying strings

55 ???? bejeebus ive gone all dizzy at the thought i use 45s on a 34 and 35 scale length and both sound fine in the bottom end although i do agree the G can sound a bit puny but in mycase that may be cos i should spend a bit more time and adjust the pickup a tadge at that end

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' timestamp='1322745163' post='1455207'] A Gripmaster may or may not help with left hand technique - I don't know, but that's not what I used mine for. It did help me with my right hand technique. I used to run out of steam halfway through a fast song we used to play at the end of the set and would get severe cramp in the hand. After using a gripmaster these problems went away as my fingers felt a lot stronger and I could play a lot faster and not run out of steam. [/quote] but wouldnt you just repeatedly practice the song to develop the strength to complete it without fatigue? that way you are reinforcing the muscle memory and pattern of the fingering too? i dont disagree that squeezing a gripmaster will improve strength - its just that i would prefer to improve that strength by repeating the riffs and patterns over and over until they roll off your fingertips on auto-pilot

so looks like a second matching 4x10 cab then would be a good opportunity to go all stereo i guess

there is also the muscle memory aspect to consider with the grip thingies if you use them repeatedly then your fingers and muscles will learn well how to repeat the motion of compressing a little button mouted on top of a spring when you start pressing a string against a fret there is a lot more subtlety and finer nuances involved than just repeatedly 'pressing a stiff button' do you need 'more strength' in your fretting hand? if you want a good strong mechanical grip in your hands you could go join a tug-of-war team and have some fun at the same time unless you enjoy the tedium of repeatedly pressing an inert stiff button ... or as mrs doyle might say ...[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI0MRyUFIXU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI0MRyUFIXU[/url]

thanks for the linkage the way things are looking i may not bother with the upgrade at all and just keep the old carpet covered 1x15 and the hydrive4x10 with the 250W head (ample loud enough to compete with a PA for most avergae pubs/clubs)

this is not about the fleabay sale per se which is why have placed in this forum - more about the ebay listers comments about the factory stated power rating [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hartke-Hydrive-HX115-1x15-Bass-Guitar-Cabinet-Cab-/130606992048?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item1e68c88ab0"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hartke-Hydrive-HX115-1x15-Bass-Guitar-Cabinet-Cab-/130606992048?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item1e68c88ab0[/url] anybody out there in BC land own a 1x15 hydrive and could comment on this please? (i currently have a 4x10 hydrive and am looking at getting the 1x15 to upgrade my current 1x15 carpet covered hartke and naturally would like to top it all off with the lh500 or 1000) is this down to the difference between 'regular rip-off the customer with bigger wattage' watts and 'watts RMS' just off to download the pdf form the hartke website and see what it says
