  1. Welcome to Basschat!
  2. [quote name='hitchy64' post='1368207' date='Sep 10 2011, 01:34 AM']Just got back from a gig, we played really well, no cock ups or any mistakes. We started off playing to 3 people and ended off the second set with 12. We still got £200, so it's a paid rehearsal really. Thats gotta be the worst attended gig we'v done, the best being 800+. What's you best and worst????[/quote] Worst was with my last band, 13 which went down to 5! Best was with my current band around 150+
  3. [quote name='Clarky' post='1368141' date='Sep 9 2011, 10:18 PM']Oi, back in your box fake-Clarky![/quote]
  4. [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='1368192' date='Sep 10 2011, 12:23 AM']The Line 6 Echo Park is the best tap delay that you can pick up for close to that money. But I would go for the EHX Deluxe Memory Boy, personally. Tap tempo is pretty much essential on bass, which rules out a lot of great-sounding delays. With the ones we've got left, in the 'budget' price range, the EHX box is the one to have IMO.[/quote] Well the Line 6 was what I suggested given the budget (see the Ebay link). If "skidder652003" was to raise the budget however, i'd also go for a EH Memory Man, given I own 2 EH vintage pedals myself (not delay pedals though).
  5. [quote name='Beedster' post='1368135' date='Sep 9 2011, 10:08 PM']I might have been wrong then. Not the first time [/quote] Not necessarily, because the model you are looking at is not the same as mine, mine is a 4001. I'd still go for the Ric myself still, but it's horses for courses I guess. The only Warwick's i've played on had fat necks and seemed rather heavy , so not suited to me at all, as I said before though horses for courses, there's plenty of happy Warwick player's out there.- Good luck!
  6. [quote name='Clarky' post='1363190' date='Sep 5 2011, 06:13 PM']This is a cracking Jazz with a beautiful nitro finish ( originally sonic blue but faded to a sort of sea foam green) and a really fast neck. As good as a Fender custom shop Jazz IMHO (new prices for Bacchus 62Js are similar to Fender CS too so £499 was a bargain! )[/quote] Clarky???? who is this imposter! Nice bass by the way!
  7. [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......
  8. 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.
  9. 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]
  10. [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
  11. [quote name='Lokster' post='1367769' date='Sep 9 2011, 03:46 PM']Thanks for the welcomes and the help guys. I can just about handle Mr Hood, it's those 'Merrymen' you have to watch out for [/quote] PM replied to sir.....
  12. [quote name='icastle' post='1366578' date='Sep 8 2011, 04:07 PM']The more cynical mind would perhaps think that the biggest reason for bringing this legislation out in the first place were based on £'s... [url="http://www.barrowbc.gov.uk/Docs/licensingfees20090926.doc"]http://www.barrowbc.gov.uk/Docs/licensingfees20090926.doc[/url][/quote] I must be one of those cynical people then.... isn't always about ££££££'s ?
  13. [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.
  14. [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.
  15. [quote name='51m0n' post='1366763' date='Sep 8 2011, 06:18 PM']ANd you may find that you look like Madonna....[/quote] Yikes! I hadn't thought of that! maybe i'd best stick with the old SM58 afterall then......
  16. [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.
  17. 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.
  18. [quote name='P-T-P' post='1365833' date='Sep 7 2011, 10:01 PM']We use a couple of passive 8s for monitors and even rehearsing full band with just vox going in and they cope fine. If space is an issue they'll do the job but the 12s have a heck of a lot more poke for not an awful lot more cash or weight so they'd be my preferred option if I didn't already have 8s.[/quote] Thanks for that Pete. Last night I ordered new.... 2X12" passive Wharfedale Titans for my main PA speakers and a single 1X12" Wharfedale Titan active speaker for my vocal monitor. I reckon they should be plenty loud enough for what I need. Any large venues that we play such as Rock City here in Nottingham have their own PA anyway and we generally only play pubs/small clubs. They should be here by Friday in plenty of time before next Thursdays gig I just need to sell my 15" speakers now to help cover the cost I've spent a small fortune this last couple of weeks.....and I ain't quite finished yet!
  19. The sooner the better.
  20. [quote name='xgsjx' post='1365806' date='Sep 7 2011, 09:41 PM']Finally got round to sitting down & learning Sir Duke a couple of weeks back. Good fun to play along with! [/quote] That was the last one I learnt too!

  22. [quote name='Born 2B Mild' post='1363053' date='Sep 5 2011, 04:36 PM']Anybody who lends his bass to Martin Turner is a friend of mine! Brilliant communicator and top Bass Bloke. 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). Pic taken by ex-Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash guitarist Keith Buck on his mobile phone. All the best Tony. [attachment=88880:Martin_T...y_bass_2.jpg]
