[quote name='Beedster' post='1368126' date='Sep 9 2011, 09:56 PM']I might be wrong, but IIRC there was one on eBay recently that took months to sell? Having said that, I'd certainly choose the Ric also, but for the reasons above, I can understand why others might not [/quote] Well i've had loads of offers for mine, it is an old one mind......

You can bet which one i'd go for! Anyway, if you ever come to sell it you'll have no problem with the Ricky it's a classic that will always sell.

How about this, it seems to do everything including tap tempo..... [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Line-6-Tone-Core-Echo-Park-Delay-/200648682517?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2eb797ec15"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Line-6-Tone-Core...=item2eb797ec15[/url]

[quote name='ead' post='1367548' date='Sep 9 2011, 12:43 PM']I'm particularly partial to any note I play in tune on my fretless. Although if pushed I'm going to go with F# [/quote] I like this also, and an harmonic played at the 12th fret E string

[quote name='Doddy' post='1366925' date='Sep 8 2011, 08:27 PM']If space is tight,you can always have the boom coming from the side-it makes it a little less likely to get knocked. Also,if you are concerned about people thinking they can have a go,simply remove the mic from the stand when you're not playing.[/quote] Thanks for that advice. I have moved the mic boom and used it from the side before, I hit it myself. I always mute the mic on the mixer now at the interval and at the end of the set.

[quote name='LiamPodmore' post='1366722' date='Sep 8 2011, 05:43 PM']One thing to remember is that those kinds of mics will pick up everything, so when you clear your throat or curse at that bum note you just hit, it will go through the PA system too. Liam[/quote] Good point and worth thinking about.

[quote name='yorick' post='1366014' date='Sep 8 2011, 07:21 AM']Sennheiser do some good radio microphones. It's the same set up as a guitar transmitter type system. Headset into transmitter; receiver, via xlr into desk. Adjust levels to suit venue etc. The one thing to watch out for is the frequency of your transmitter receiver. The government are selling off some/most of the frequencies covered by some of the units. It may be worth looking at going digital, but it may cost you.[/quote] Thanks! but what model Sennheiser would you recommend? What kind of price are we taking here? cheers Tony.

I use an industry standard Shure SM58 mic for vocals. Most but not all places we play tend to be pubs and small clubs. I like my mic but.....at some venues where space is a premium the mic stand sometimes gets knocked about, i've even had folks singing down the mic doing a bl**dy karaoke at the interval cheeky bu*gers! (cuz I forgot to mute it on the mixer) Quite a while ago I saw Sammy Hagar using what appeared to be a wireless mic, the one that goes over your head, which freed him up for playing and moving about. It got me thinking that this could be the solution. Question...are these any good?, if yes, what would you recommend?and what extra equipment would I need? I use a Yamaha powered mixer at the mo'. I'm ok at the minute, but I may pick something up maybe next year? Do they feedback? pop? crackle? pack up? Any help/advice i'd be very grateful...over to you guy's.

The sooner the better.

Enjoy drowning that guitarist of yours with that 4ohm TecAmp L115 I sold you, T![/quote] Cheers for the lovely feedback Phil. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Here is the man himself playing my bass in a Milton Keynes recording studio when he was recording Argus Through The Looking Glass (with my bass).

Welcome to Basschat James!

[quote name='Lokster' post='1364367' date='Sep 6 2011, 06:13 PM']Alreet. Been lurking around here now for a couple of months and thought it was about time I got myself involved in some natter! Very (pleasantly) surprised to see so many fellow Nottinghamians around the place too. I'm a complete beginner in my mid twenties who just decided one day that I really wanted to learn a instrument and that I loved the low, deep tones of the bass. So picked up a cheap Westfield bass and amp off ebay a few months ago and have been trying to self teach myself with youtube videos and a couple of books (as well as the many fantastic threads on this forum!) After lots of looking around on here I'd like to get myself some lessons so was wondering if any of the people from Nottingham (or surrounding areas) knew of any good teachers in the south of the shire? Beeston, Chilwell, Long Eaton that kind of general area. That's where I'm based and I don't have my own transport (for now) which has ruled out a couple of fantastic looking teachers in other parts of Nottingham that are a pain in the arse to get to on bus's. Ta for making it through the wall of text and groove on! [/quote] Aye up me duck! and welcome fellow Nottinghamian You live not far from me actually (Strelley) and I just got my new car from Chilwell last month! There used to be a teacher in Long Eaton that used to teach above Phil Boot guitar shop but he closed down The guitarist in my band teaches guitar and bass for a living. There is another bass teacher in the same building. He is based in Ilkeston, I dunno if that's any good to you? if you are interested send me a PM and i'll pass on some details for you. Some teaches will come to you....maybe that's an option? good luck...Tony.

[quote name='bluesparky' post='1363701' date='Sep 6 2011, 06:57 AM']A couple of weeks ago whilst I was knocking down a wall at a friends house my finger was mangled in a sledgehammer / wall interface error. It hurts like hell and made a bit of a mess but it's mending slowly. It has left me not able to play for a bit and it certainly leaves me with a lot of time on my hands when I'm at home and not working. Hopefully it'll sort itself out soon and i'll be able to play without swearing all the time.. Fortunately I can just about still play the piano at the moment so that's taking up my time. It's horrible not being able to play when you want to![/quote] Wow sorry to hear that, how unfortunate. At least you can listen to loads of music, go to gigs etc...chill and relax, you'll be back playing before you know it! All the best!

I rather like these with Alain Caron. The first is the band Uzeb. I'd never heard of Uzeb until recently The second is at a bass workshop........
