I can't emphasise the flawless condition of this bass enough.

It really is 'out of the box' mint and looks unplayed. A stunning 6er and a lot of bass for the money.

Bump!

Bump!

As soon as I can free up some cash I'm ordering a 500 version to test through my cabs alongside my ABM EVO head and if it holds up the head and all the rack stuff is going.

If I can get hold of a camera I'll get some video/audio comparrisons between the two.

That's good going dude. Must be over a month now of secret bass loving ha!

Working on a cruise ship I played in front of the original Stig & Stu Francis.

I also did a gig at the Dublin Castle in London in front of Ben Miller from Armstrong & Miller.

Good times.

Cheers Chris

Lunchtime Bump!

Wow, thanks for a great review of the Mibass

I've been looking into how to downsize/lighten up my rig. Gigging 2-3 times a week is really starting to get tiresome with my current rig (ABM500 RC Evo III / Ashdown 2x10 / Ashdown 1x15) racked up with a tuner, power conditioner etc but I love the sound of the head. I know there's some Ashdown haters on here but I really like their stuff.

Would you say the Mibass can deliver similiar tones/volume as the ABM500? Obviously the ABM has the valve preamp so I appreciate there will be differences, but can it come close?

Cheers

Bought John's beautiful LTD 6er earlier this month. Top guy and such a pleasure to deal with.

Cheers buddy

Still no where with the cello and in the mean time got an acoustic bass. Also got the cello valued the other week and it turns out it's worth £500, not bad for a freebie.

Think I'm just gonna sell it and buy something nice with the money

I do audio mastering as a part of my day job and have mastered a number of songs, EP's & albums. If you do find someone make sure they understand the full importance of mastering and don't just have the mindset of 'making it louder'. Also it's not just about making the tracks sound better, they need to appreciate the importance of making the tracks sit well with each other sonically, the track order, fade ins/outs, the right ammount of time between each track, meta data etc.

What sort of budget do you have? I might be able to help out.

If you want I'd be happy to do a test master of a track for you to see if you like what I can do.

Drop me a PM if you're interested

Cheers

Alex

Cheers for the pointers guys, it's all helping.

I have noticed my slap technique is starting to improve and be more precise to work with the tighter string spacing. I'm also reducing the movement to minimal ammounts in my right hand as I did use to exagerate the slap and pop motion. I can only see this as a benifit in the long run for my technique to make it more focussed and controlled (and yes my cuticals are suffering at the moment).

I had noticed a lot of string ringing due to not being able to mute the E string as easily on my 4 string. But I have been practising the floating thumb technique and it has started to improved my right hand fingering technique as well as the string muting. All in all I'm happy with the move to the 6 and like how it's making me more conscious of my technique which in turn is making me practice and work harder at it.

Giving the 6er a test run at tonights gig, and taking the jazz just incase

I've just bought my first 6er this morning from [b]Johngh[/b]

A flawless mint condition LTD B 406SM that plays like a dream



I was worried about the jump from 4 to 6 strings but the neck feels really comfortable (I have big hands) and the smaller string spacing appears to be tightening up my sloppy slap technique.

Has anyone got any advice/techniques/thoughts etc in regards to 6 strings?

I love it

Bump!

No worries buddy

Bump!

Hi

Yes I can send it to Portugal but delivery won't be included in the price. From previous experience you're lookin at an extra £50 on top.

When I used to work for The Academy of Sound in Leicester quite a few years ago nearly everyone that worked there was a gigging muso including both the manager and assistant manager. As such we all covered for each other if someone had an epic journey for a gig or a really early get in and kept it fair for everyone. As most of my gigs were in Leicester I was always happy to cover for the other guys.

It's different now working for a computer games company. We don't work Saturdays normally so that problems gone and if I'm gigging mid week as long as I do my core hours that day I can leave anytime after 4. that normally means getting in earlier and working through lunch. If I need to leave any earlier I take a half day holiday. However if we are in full production of a game my hours go into 'crunch' which normally means 12 hour days and very rarely any chance of taking a half day. When this happens I dep out mid week gigs and keep the weekend gigs.

It's difficult juggling both sometimes. I'm surprised by Pete's situation working in a music shop, I would have thought they would be a bit more understanding.
