Lovin the jeff beck version there, mainly for the beastin bass vibe and vinnie going nuts for the whole track!!!
heh

Oh my!! I'm assuming some of these will be appearing in the 'For Sale' section of this here website??

Cheers guys!
I will certainly be posting soundclips as soon as the demo's done, I could possibly fire up some very rough bass and drum mp3's just now to let you hear if anyone's interested...?

Have a look at my rig in the gear porn thread, under 'monster recording rig' some aguilar goodness in there if you're interested...?

Ola!
Here is a snap of my current rig which was fired up today for the recording of my bands new EP. The rig consists of:

Boss Micro Rack 10 band graphic EQ
Summit Audio TD100 Valve DI
dbx 163x compressor
Korg dtr1000 rack tuner

Aguilar AG500sc
Ampeg Classic 2x10
Ampeg Classic 1x15

Iceni Zoot Classic J Funkmeister 5 String

Sadowsky Metro RV5

It sounds nice

Cheers!
Craig

Slightly off topic, but does this now mean that victa is endorsing Hartke and not Ampeg anymore?

Hi Alan,
I think some breaks are a great idea, especially if they are filled with someone talking about bass! Maybe have a kind of sit downy Q&A with yourself or Mr May, or maybe something stupid like a bass only relate pub quiz?
c

You should've gotten a quarter of a 15 inch speaker in the corner of each cab so that when you stick them all together you get a bonus speaker!
haha,
nice rig btw!
c

I'm up for this, last 2 weeks in April look good to me...
Im sure some kinda car pooling could be organised from up here to Moffat once we firm up dates and numbers etc;.
c

OOh, a wee trip doon tae moffat might be just the thing!
Heh, But seriosuly Skelf a Scottish/North England bash would be grand if you fancy getting the ball rolling?
c

Glasgow/central scotland bass bash is a great idea. Let's do it. Where should we start a thread? Is there any way of doing a search on folk who live up here and send them invites.....moderators??
c
PS - I'm gonna pop round real soon for some coffee, random bass chat and maybe a spank of the old 9 stringer!!

Haha! Quality. I think it should be 'purplenecks' garry ;-)

Hi Jake,
Where did you get a hold of the wooten dvd? I can only seem to find it for region 1...
cheers!
craig

No worries mate, hopefully you can find more use for them than I have!

hehe

c

Anyone had a chance to try any of these? Thoughts/suggestions folks?
c

I'm a twat, just realised this 4 String....d'oh! Sorry man, I'm a total doofus, 5 strings all the way for me!!
good luck!
the metro is a fantastic bass btw, highly recommended!
c

Did this bass previously belong to a certain Gil from Dunfermline?
Would you be interested in a trade plus cash for a metro rv5 sadowsky?!
c

Sweeet!
Cheers Jake!

Ah cheers ped,

Hey guys and gals,
Just uploaded a coupla videos featuring some techniques I've been working on recently. The first is a technique I picked up off someone who studied with Kai Eckhardt for a bit, it looks complicated but once you get it under your fingers it makes sense.


The second is a technique I came up with to 'sweep' some basic arpeggios on the bass, note the right hand technique:


Feel free to ask me any questions about these videos. It should be noted that I only use this kinda stuff maybe 1% of the time on gigs!!!

Hope you like em,
craig

I use the MXR di+ thingy and it rocks, it will do exactly what you're looking for, fattening out the sound. The 'colour' switch on it just sweetens everything. Very handy little unit and I love the fuzz I get from it too. I also use a summit audio td-100 half valve preamp/di which is buttery clean :-)
c

I would recommed an Aguilar 500sc. The BEST amp for that kinda money in terms of tone and power. I got mine 3 years ago and never been left wanting.
c

Don't really have an answer, but I like how my sadowsky came with a warning advising against turning both tone controls all the way up!
It's only a 9v circuit but has the hottest output of any bass I have, even more than the 18v circuit on my zoot.
c

I agree with steve, cracking tune. I especially like how the bass player misses the push into the first chorus....!

2 sets of d'addario long scale 5 string 45 guage pro steels.... santa knows his bassle shizzle!
:-)
