No, there's much more to abuse that album about than the drum sound, but it's the low hanging fruit, as it were...
-
I found the key to the BDI21 (and the Sansamp on which it's based) is the blend knob. Another budget preamp is the original Hartke VXL Bass Attack. Great sounding preamp for all sorts of sounds and built like a tank. Of course if simple is what you're after there's always the Noble... if you have deep pockets...

Is Jeff berlin a brilliant salesman, or is the cort rithimic a great bass?
Bigwan replied to la bam's topic in Bass Guitars
Never played the Cort version but had a brief tinkle on one of the older Dean versions and it was an exceptionally nice bass... -
Pay attention to how hard you're fretting the string. I'd never really noticed myself until I watched a Gary Willis video on the subject. It takes a lot less pressure than you think and when you ease up on that it makes your left hand movement much more fluid. I do have to keep reminding myself though...

Dingwall D-roc 5 Standard is still interesting me... But the more I play my Vigier 5 string the more I think maybe a 4 string Vigier would round out the collection nicely!

Darkglass Alpha Omega Photon is $519/£388 at prymax, £479 in UK...
-
Yes, but I wonder how close that gets to the UK price? Just checked the price of the dug pedal too. The prymax price is the same as I paid for my used one recently. Boils my pi55...
-
Well not to open a can of worms again, but accepting that sort of price as "normal" is screwing the collective! As an example the YYZ is £215 at guitarguitar here in the UK today... Yet at prymax (USA) it's $155 at the minute. That's £116... Somebody's lining their pockets nicely!!! Personally I'd never even consider buying a Tech21 product new.

Yeah... My money's on it being North of 300quid...
-
I've never got along with Musicman basses... So why do I suddenly have GAS for a 5 string 'ray? Odd...
-
Ah! The difference between mobile and full website versions!
-
Can't see how to get the "lite" version... Every time I get to the drop down version box I only have the option of the full version. Am I missing something?

Musician wanted ad - a penny for your thoughts...

Hell no... -
I will own one of these some day. The Excess is SO good, I can only imagine what this is like...

AFTER! I'm a total tart...

This one made my credit card sweat...

€49.50 +VAT for Parallax. Bargain!

Joyo Orange Juice has been a fav of mine. And the American Sound, although I've modified mine into more of an SVT/Tech21 VT-bass type which also sounds good. Chord OC-50 is a decent octaver with a synth/drive option which is nice.
-
That's nuts! I'd only ever use a quarter of it but still!
-
I've felt the same about a number of basses I've played including most Sei and Fodera basses I've tried. Different strokes for different folks!
-
And maybe when you grow up to be a big boy Danny, you will!
-
I've had custom basses from both. While Jon will build you pretty much anything you desire, Alan has a more fixed menu of options - which is in no way a criticism. Personally I found dealing with Alan a much more pleasurable experience. He got my build 100% correct... And on time... Neither of which I can say about my Shuker. Still an outstanding bass but Alan's work is another level. IMHO, YMMV, etc.
-
Don't see that as an issue myself. Don't spend ANY time up around the dusty end...
