[quote name='soundbass' post='545720' date='Jul 20 2009, 08:54 PM']How good is the Hartke 3500 is it that much better than my Ashdown Mag 300, or should I save a bit more until I can afford Ashdown ABM Evo 3. As I can get a 2nd hand Hartke 3500 for under £250 and just a few years old.[/quote] I have a Hartke 3500 and I prefer it to the Ashdown amps I have used (admittedly I haven't tried many, just a couple of the 2x10 combos - can't remember if it was MAG or ABM). Much more precise control over the sound. A cleaner, sharper sound all round from the 3500 - to my ears anyway.

I've been using the 0404's little brother the 0202 and I've been impressed with the results and ease of use. -
+1 to wiring them up - I'm sure I've seen systems which basically comprise sections of connected wire threaded through the strings to an alarm of some sort. You have to ask to try an instrument where a member of staff will switch off the alarm, break the wire at a convenient connector, unthread the wire from the instrument then reconnect the wire and switch back on the alarm. You try and disengage it yourself and you'll get a surprise (and presumably a ticking off/escorted off the premises depending on the circumstances).

I use a Hartke 3500 into an Ashdown ABM 4x10. I like the sound, and it has got compliments at gigs, but it's all personal preference.

Been doing some homebrew recording in the rehearsal studio, nothing flashy or exciting: 4 microphones of various types pointing in various directions An ancient 4 channel mixer which our drummer informs me was "lifted from the announcers office at Derby Railway Station" an E-MU 0202 USB my old Dell Latitude C840 Audacity Considering the hotchpotch equipment and scattershot approach, the recordings came out not too bad. Not brilliant, but one or two of them might be good enough to go on the myspace.

I think it's important to make an effort to look at least like you put some thought into being there, instead of looking like you just walked out of ... anywhere. It doesn't have to be regimented/matching - our guitarist plays in shirt and tie on stage, so I go shirt/tie/waistcoat just to go that extra bit (can't beat a bit of guitarist/bassist oneupmanship ). If he gets a waistcoat then I guess I'll have to upgrade to bow tie class, or maybe get a monocle Seriously though, I think it's important to make an effort. I'd like to think audiences appreciate it when you make an effort for them, even if it is subconsciously. On a purely personal note, I still joke that suits are for funerals, weddings, interviews and court appearances but I've grown to like dressing smart. I think it started when I wore the kilt for the first time - I assert that the Elephant Man would look good in a kilt. But a suit works wonders also.

Thanks very much for the feedback, I will take that back to the group (who are highly unlikely to read it here).

Hi folks We've just added a new track to our myspace provisionally entitled "Only Tonight" (the first one where I'm actually playing, the others pre-date me). Don't expect stellar quality - it was recorded with 2 microphones in a rehearsal room, but feedback would be appreciated. Cheers!

"blem" is usually a shortened version of "blemish", therefore used to indicate a finish oops, a factory second perhaps.

[quote name='solo4652' post='535387' date='Jul 8 2009, 08:47 AM']I have a G&L Tribute L-2000. I normally have it switched to "both" pups, sometimes switching to bridge for a more jazzy sound. In the last 2 days, the bass has lost it's smooth rounded P-sound no matter which pup I select, and is sounding very burpy. Major fiddling with the amp to heighten the mids and treble doesn't seem to improve it. I have fitted a new battery - no change. My other bass seems to be working as normal with no noticeable tone changes. Any ideas? Steve[/quote] Does it do it in passive mode as well as active mode?

Bought a Boss LMB-3 from Ray on Sunday, it was here by Tuesday. Very well packed and arrived safe. Top man, I will not hesitate to deal with him in the future.

I haven't noticed this in the past, so I can only assume that it's to do with being the hottest summer since I seriously began playing bass but I'm finding nearly all my necks to a greater or lesser degree rather sticky and "grabby" on my thumb on the back of them. This is particularly annoying while sliding. Right now it's a case of playing the one which feels least sticky. Perhaps it's the stuff which is on the neck - I think the G-3 feels the worst (probably nitro) and the Squier neck on my Fecker Imprecision the least sticky (poly, likely) with the shellac of my custom build somewhere in between. This is annoying, because I've been obsessively playing the G-3 since I got it. Is anyone else having this issue during this little, government endorsed "heatwave"? Is it just sweat? Humidity? My basses slowly melting?

Duracell Procells for the win: you can find a box of 10 for about a tenner, I got one from Amazon I think.
