nice gear guys, here are mine: btw, the ultrarare (#18 of 87) Black Guild CR-01 Crossroads is for [url="http://www.ebay.de/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280801801172&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:DE:1123"]sale[/url]

and I believe not even 1 guitarplayer wanted to join a bassplayers forum without force.

I have a Guild X-170T with a soundpost. These are usually mounted under the bridge for a) better structural integrity and more important b) to reduce feedback resulting from vibrations of the top and bottom. you will often find soundposts in electrical archtop guitars.

some people here are really disrespectful. where is the problem of having [b]1[/b] subsection for the guitar related topics for basschatters only? I think it would be nice to find all these posts under one category. also all you bassterds don't have to fiddle with it inbetween your bass-only topics! but some peoples position seems to be the of the not good enough guitarplayer that became a bassist.

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1325703212' post='1486421']... I would like the BC team to create a discrete Guitarchat forum moderated in the way this is. BC seems to me to be 'in service' to bass and most of its prolific members appear to espouse a similar attitude, that its the bass and this forum is what's important.... [/quote] +1, since I'm also a guitarplayer, but don't like guitar forums at all. maybe here a secret chamber for members would be cool. ... well not all forums, I like only the one I'm a moderator in. it is brand related, but not connected to the brand owner: [url="http://www.letstalkguild.com"]l[/url][url="http://www.letstalkguil.com"]ets talk guild[/url]

probably similar.

[quote name='AndyMorrey' timestamp='1324766363' post='1477784'] Hello fellow Basschatters! I have £600 to purchase some new gear with. I would like a Boss RC-3 (with power supply and a few jacks) which leaves me with roughly £400. ( I only have one bass at the moment. A Hohner Arbor precision bass. Question! Should I spend more of the money on a bass and purchase the pedal at a later date? Question!! If so which bass should I get? Help a learning bass player on his way! 4 strings and fretted maple necks/fingerboards are a favourite but if you have any suggestions please let me know! [/quote] 1. buy everything used, save the money and watch where the looper takes you. 2. if you see, ask again. merry christmas.

they are completely different beasts. i.e. one short scale the other long scale. the QC is really bad on the epiphones. so play before buying it. I'd recomment a höfner verythin. these are great (if you don't have a guild starfire, of course. )

[size=4]my 2 cts: it depends...[/size] [size=4]used, there is a lot of gear that really is high end, set up well and sounds and plays great available for a lot under [color=#2A2A2A][font=Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif]£[/font][/color]1000[color=#2A2A2A][font=Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif].[/font][/color][/size] [size=4][color=#2A2A2A][font=Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif]I play bass professionally (that means that usually I get paid for gigs) and my most expensive instrument is the seibass I just bought used for a bit over £1000[/font][/color][/size]. this got all I have ever expected from a 5-string. my 4-strings have been [b]a lot[/b] cheaper, the most rare and expensive one was 1000€ but it is my main player in my band and I probably will never find a better only a more expensive one. it is more about what you do with what you have. playability is the 1st secret, tone the 2nd. on every cheap bass both can be achieved with a small investment. but without a vision even the most expensive instrument won't take you anywhere.

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1324492532' post='1474954'] That's funny, I checked out Snarky Puppy the other day and they bored the sh*t out of me, all clearly very talented but it's from a very different world to Dirty Loops who thrill me. [/quote] +1

[quote name='guildbass' timestamp='1324338355' post='1473296']... if you want a 'crunch' in your tone, generate it at the front end with a valve pre-amp or something then use a big healthy power amp to simply amplify accurately whatever you've put in...Your rig will love you for it... [/quote] amen to this for a bass amp.

well, in my band I am completely happy with my boutique 103 tube powered watts (based on an old sound city slave) or if I am too lazy to carry with my acoustic image focus sa 350w. both with the same 1x12" 8Ohm cabinet. this is what I'd compare sonically and emotionally in relation from tube to digital loudness: 100 tube watts ≈ 350 digital watts if built in the same quality. and the soundquality of both is equal. of course with the same bass (4 & 5-String) and preamp.
