    If the price is right I fancy getting one of these beauties. Actually I just realised that the short scale version of this bass only comes right-handed. Pity.

    These look great - anyone know of a UK dealer?

    Yep, it is - hadn't spotted Filthy Dirty on here before!

    As for short-scale basses, there's a new kid on the (short-scale) block - lefties will be available to order apparently...

    Guilty!
    I'm back on here after ANOTHER bass after, err, getting a little enthusiastic with mine on saturday.
    To go back to my question does anyone know of any left hooker jaguars or similar? Great bodies.

  3. I was just about to start this very thread myself! Im after a short scale leftie - theres four bassists in our band and I want a short scale with ultra thin strings for a more toppy end.
    Do Fender do a left handed jaguar does anyone know? I cant seem to find one.
    I notice Timmo that your link doesn't post to the UK, any UK stockists that you lot know of?

  4. Hi all.
    I realise this is a stupid question. But I'm a drummer who's playing a bit of bass, so go with me here...

    What's the story with amp and cab suitability, re watts, output etc?
    I have a gallien kreuger mb 210 8 ohm 500w combo which is nice but have been offered a 212 mb 2x12 cab, 8 ohm, 600w - would this go with my combo as it is 8 ohm or would it suck the power being 600w and the amp 500w? I assume them both being 8 ohm is a definite.

    As I say, dumb question I realise. When you lot need questions answering about hitting inanimate objects, I'm your man.

    4, check that, 4!!!! Bassists in your band?
    All playing at the same time?
    Intrigued, any links to your sounds?
    Go barefaced & be louder than the other 3!

    We all try to out loud each other anyway. None more Tap!!!!
    Am considering using a guitar combo instead, I play stuff in the top end of the range so a guitar amp might suit.
    If not I'm going to lash out on HP and get a MarkBass 2x10 set up i think.

    [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ulf8RliE68"]Oh and for those of you intrigued by the 4 bassists here's some footage from our last performance...[/url]

  6. Some good tips chaps, ta.
    Someone recommended [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/gallien-krueger-mb-115/40872?gclid=CMrawqD7yrcCFQTHtAodsGwAgA"]this[/url] to me; anyone got good or bad things to say about Gallien Krueger? Seems a bit too cheap to be any good?!?

  7. Ok all, I've been using a trace elliot rig which is excellent but a right pain in the jacksy to cart about and store.
    What recommendations does everyone have for a good loud, not too large set up on a budget (£500ish)? I know theres a thread about light cabs but i was also wondering about combos as well as rig set ups.
    Needs to fit easily into a car for gigs

    Bear in mind theres 4 bassists in my band so it needs to chuck out some filth!

    Over to you mob.

  8. Evil blizzard have been terrorising bar staff up and down the country for the past year or so. Four basses. No guitars. A singing drummer. A right old racket.
    We've done a few gigs supporting the Fall and play with them this Friday may 10th in liverpool - anyone going? I guarantee chaos but not many melodies.

  9. Help! I've got a behringer bxl 3000a and it's stopped. No 'bang', no 'it wont turn on', it just stopped mid song.
    I'm guessing it might be an internal fuse or something straightforward, but I cant get into the bleedin' thing!!!
    I cant work out how to get into the unit without ripping off all the covering and taking the cab to bits - is there an easier access way?
    Cheers all!

    Bought this, received in excellent packaging. Just a heads up to say ta to Rob, pleasure to do business with.

    Cheers for all advice, the 5 string can wait a while!

  11. Chhers for all advice fellas.
    [quote name='phil.i.stein' post='1216888' date='May 1 2011, 08:47 PM']filters can lose or add low-end, so try blending a filter with clean signal.[/quote]
    Excuse my ignorance - I'm more drummer than guitarist - but how do I do that? Do certain pedals have a bypass out as well as an effects out, and then you patch both together? Or do you mean just DI and mic the amp when gigging?


    [quote name='paul_5' post='1217070' date='May 1 2011, 11:52 PM']Also, don't never lose 'tha ONE' baby! :)[/quote]
    Well noted. I have 'tha one' on order from amazon, but they can't guarantee a delivery date...

    [quote name='lettsguitars' post='1217074' date='May 1 2011, 11:56 PM']shouldn't the compressor come first in the chain? after the tuner of course.[/quote]
    Nah! I have my compressor there to 'squelch' everything together in solos - more as a volume gain than anything. Works a treat.

    And the star shaped glasses? Of COURSE I've got the star shaped glasses! I've been sleeping in them!

  12. Evening all - newby here.
    I've played drums and guitar for too many years to think about, but recently have joined a funk-esque band on bass.
    Now the first thing I thought was - how can I get to Bootsy?!? What sort of pedals/effects?

    My usual guitar set up is tuner>phaser>octaver>overdrive>compressor>digi delay, but I'm guessing Bootsy's thang is built around envelope modulation, flangers, space dust and loony juice? What else do I need to be buying?

    Any tips?
    Cheers!
