...here we go again? So my band are considering adding some sheehan related tunes to our repertoire and I'm thinking that I 'obviously' need to go bass shopping...the whole style is a sonic departure for me but am looking forward to the challenge... No way can I afford a sheehan sig but I'm looking for somethingg that will allow a similarly low action for the insane tapping and will also have a similarly aggressive sound, passive too I'm hoping...ideas? Pickup combinations? I'll be having a pedal board shuffle too to accomodate a different drive pedal, considering a sheehan ebs but happy to hear other options for this too...wet/dry mix essential, good tone shaping options etc... Am not going to sound 'exactly' like him but a close enough approximation for the average punter will do me fine Not really sure of budget yet so options will help to give me something to aim at

It pulls the brightness out of your sound, try dropping it out n pulling the low mids up a bit instead?

Ric + orange / matamp stack = sounds cool as f**k Ric + owt else = Barry White? I couldn't get a decent sound out of the ric I had either which is partly why it went...

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1375444779' post='2161447'] just to chip in and say this is a grat pedal - maxon pedals are awesome. Would be interested if I hadn't recently bought a maxon AD-10 [/quote] Thanks matey! It's a seriously nice pedal indeed, really cool analog sounds and I love it's vintage styling, like the ibanez pedals of my youth...they did make the ibanez pedals didn't they?1! -
So, We All Know About Air Guitar . . . But Air Drumming?
andydye replied to flyfisher's topic in General Discussion
I do it quite often much more often than air bass or air guitar in fact -
oh dear, that's the colour right there it's a good job for me that I really don't like playing jazzes

Aaron just bought a Sennheiser mic from me, great comms and super speedy payment, really easy transaction. Thanks matey!

That's a fantastic looking bass matey!

When I spotted a dicky coil selector mini-switch on my Lakland 55-02 I emailed Lakland to ask what I should use and they sent me one for a very reasonable price, mebbe email Yamaha customer services / technical folks and ask them...?

Nice geetar matey! I have an electric floor stand that may do the job nicely if you're interested? Should be fine if it fits in a 335 style bag but I'll measure it when I get home to check?

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1375391208' post='2160780'] Bass doc approved of the pickup when he built my bass. [/quote] high praise indeed from Lord howard, he's done me some lovely work in the past, particularly lovely fretless neck he fitted to my Geddy Jazz body at the time...superb! -
[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1375383337' post='2160649'] Ah, an ACG, : Alan is a very nice guy and makes some great Basses! [/quote] Indeed he is and does my friend

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1375377404' post='2160562'] Yes, but don't put your LMII up for sale yet...! [/quote] Don't worry buddy, it'll be a while as I've an acg to pay for first

[quote name='lee650' timestamp='1375377229' post='2160557'] ive fancied one of these for a while, and when I had cash for one 4 months ago there were none to be seen [/quote] I can confirm their awesomeness and quietly hope some cash becomes available for you imminently

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1375372300' post='2160482'] Yep, DI out level control and that unquantifiable new amp feeling that makes your rehearsal and gig go extra well! [/quote] It is as I thought then I also must have a LMIII

[quote name='maldy' timestamp='1375366800' post='2160363'] Haven't bought the album yet, but will do. If it is anywhere as good as Richie's solo albums I think it will be excellent. I think I agree with you about Billy's sound. Personally I prefer a more traditional bass sound. I'm not into that distortion kind of sound. I don't mind a bit of it, but just not all the time. All that said there is no doubt that Billy can really play. [/quote] Spot on matey!

Will a Mono M80 fit inside SKB Bass Safe?

Good bit of reasearch there twigman, nice one! -
[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1375361624' post='2160253'] I played one of these in PMT Leeds and my precison has the same pickup - very nice [/quote] Thanks matey, it sounds spot on with the flats, exactly like the p-bass in my head should!
-
Have now had chance for a good listen and it's a really superb album! I still can't say I like Billy's bass sound as it's not really bass, more upper mids, it leaves the whole band sound a bit short of bottom end...great songs and playing from all 3!
-
Little Mark II out Little Mark III in, out of interest what was your reason for upgrade matey? I have a LMII and I know the LMIII has a DI out level control, are there any other improvements over what is already a superb little amp?

[quote name='Big Bass Man' timestamp='1375359552' post='2160214'] This bass was mine till last Saturday when I traded with Andy - it's absolutely awesome - such a great bass to play and the sound is killer! [/quote] It is indeed awesome matey and I'd be keeping it were it not for a leetle ACG order that needs paying very soon...I'll almost certainly have another one of these at some point!
