[quote name='RIM Basses' post='728225' date='Jan 28 2010, 10:55 PM']Hi Guys, Im also well keen on a GT200, I made a big mistake selling my Sunn 300T and I want to get the last amp I will ever own, Lol bigtime. I spoke to the guys at matamp yesterday and they told me its gonna be 4 weeks till the chassis come in stock. £ 100 deposit down to get your slot and then wait, out of interest whats the difference between the GT 200 and Bass 200 and is the green issue any different also. Ive owned 3 400+'s and way to many other amps, Im looking to start a new band with infulences from bands like ISIS, Cult of Luna, Russian Circles etc. Cheers, Robbie.[/quote] i am also stupidly ignorant (not saying robbie is stupid or ignorant!) towards the difference and this 'green' malarky. Monz, mizzle, tayste, umcoo please shed light. £1300 seems a sound invesment compared to an Orange AD200 off the production line. Jeez i love valve amps. Time to get my act into gear.

whats the price on the GT200's? i may have to invest in th every near future.

yup a+ player. and when you manage to learn his lines they are so much fun to play.

Always friendly and always let me try stuff out, even if I was only there to buy strings and accessories. I think this was on the basis that they knew that I would eventually find something and buy it. After trying out an Overwater. a Warwick Thumb, a Rickenbacker, 2 Sandbergs and on one occassion a Wal Mk I (was a close call!) over a two year period I eventually bought a Sadowsky Metro. They must be relieved! I'd also put in a word for CC Music, who now stock Markbass stuff, as well as Ampeg, Eden and Trace Elliot amps and have some cool second hand stuff. Bass selection is really good but a bit limited compared to the bass amps on offer (Fender and Sandberg, with the odd second hand of something else). I must say that my experience in Denmark Street this summer was pretty underwhelming in terms of choice and customer service. I'm sure some retailers hear a Scottish accent and assume that this means that it is pointless of showing them any expensive gear, as 'Scottish people don't like spending money'!. I did get to the Gallery but it was just to buy an EBS Valvedrive, which you can't seem to find in many places unless you order it. I didn't really have the time to really consider anything else! Seemed really good for choice though and customer service was good after they realised I wasn't there to waste their time.[/quote] +1ish i used thme for mail order (newcastle maybe) last year. excellent service, good people. and when things went wrong (no fault of theres) they did everything to make it right.

right thats it. i'm going to approach the wife........

ooh, ooh, and ooooohhhh! well done BB not gonna be able to make a purchase with out credit but still very intereting site.

I'm really after a jack casady sig. I have not yet tried one but i need a hollow body and love the look and sound of them. problem is - a. im a tight arse b. live hand to mouth and c. have a nagging wife. therefore if i get one (or any purchase) i will have to take advantage of the Take It Away deal. thus i looking for a shop up this end of the country (mighty yorkshire) that stocks them and does take it away. anybody got any ideas? dolphin music dont have stock. PMT leeds not sure as the website is crap. gear4music dont do TIA. and as i am self certified mild Agoraphobic i dont get out much (can you tell)

pavement - cut your hair

Brian Wilson was very underrated. Over rated....... most others.

Just had a thought. Would it not be worth having a retailer/supplier point system/recommendation thread on here? like the courier thread. People could share thier thoughts (i know, crazy idea) about a certain shop or sites in order to help other users wishing to part with their hard earned cash. so - has this already been done? am i missing something? do i need to open my eyes? does it conflict with the intrest of Basschat and its lovely mods? would it just be open to abuse? just one of those important life questions i ponder. regards

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='686728' date='Dec 16 2009, 07:52 PM']For me it has to be a live shot. There is nothing worse than a musician walking through a field with an electric instrument. Bass is what you do (we do!) and a well taken live shot says it all. It can be posed and yet look natural. I agree with Rayman too. I think being funny can be a bit dangerous as it relies on your audience to all have the same sense of humour as you... and that may not be the case.[/quote] +1. IMO all band/artist shots look a bit daft. just get decent live shots. like my playing less is more! don't worry about full detailed glorious shots off you and every peice of equipment you own in one frame.

this year i shall mostly drink.....

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='673928' date='Dec 4 2009, 09:18 AM']We always cover Ska Sucks at the end of our set, we almost played with them a few years back.[/quote] thats would've been awsome! we played with light year!.....*tumbleweed*

this is a good post. i take the view that ALL bassists mentioned on these sacred pages are over rated. after all bass is the 'filler' instrument! "nah we've got a drummer, guitar player, and xylophon(ist). but we 'need' a bassist...and you can't sing for toffee." come on lighten up, you know its true!

oooh and the slackers havent been mentioned yet! the bassist is so laid back he dosent need a strap, no sir, just rest it on a chair!

[quote name='HMX' post='673826' date='Dec 4 2009, 12:50 AM']I know of the bassists TS posted, and I'm getting a bit more into punk every day. My recent discovery is [size=4][b]Propagandhi[/b]. [/size]I've realised that Todd Kowalski is a pretty tight bassist with some nice fills and good punk tone. EDIT: Ah, I see I missed the ska bit out.. Ah well, good bassist nonetheless[/quote] welcome aboard my good man. Before people get carried away with the anti-corpotation messages from RATM on *cough, cough*Epic records (not taking anything away from there musical status), people should listen to this band. Great songs with a really good message thrown in. and they're canadian isf thats worth anything? i'm a little sad that these guys have fallen out of my music collection in recent years, must be time for a reviaval. Less Talk, More Rock!
