Oops wrong thread

I'm using an Orange Bass Terror 500 head with one Gallien-Krueger MBE 410 cab, both because they're really light and I got fed up of lugging my old Marshall stack to gigs and rehearsal. It's got a nice sound with plenty of volume and I can add a second cab if I ever need to (I probably won't).

That's not the bassline on the final version is it?

[quote name='Badass' timestamp='1378377750' post='2199283'] Where are you guys buying these from? I can't seem to find a supplier in the UK, and I'd like try one out before I make up my mind. [/quote] Dawsons have a few between their stores, my Orange head came from the Manchester shop

[quote name='barkin' timestamp='1378323156' post='2198703'] FWIW that's what I thought as well. I saw a great band last weekend - the bass player had a very odd technique. Played with a pick, but only used upstrokes. Looked bloody hard work to me, but he sounded great. Technique? F*** it! [/quote] Just had a go at that, how on earth did he end up playing that way? It's f***ing impossible!

Are you desperate for the money? If you are then sell it, if not then hang on to it for a few years and sell it when you do need the cash.

Orange Bass Terror 500 and a lightweight 4x10 GK cab, I can carry everything into a venue in one trip now

What?

If I come to the gig, do I still get the free sex?

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1376480498' post='2174448'] I don't but I wish I did, Fender had a finish back in the 80's called Graffiti Yellow and I love it. [/quote] That's the colour I'm after! I'd love one like that

Picks are great, you can get a really nice sound if used properly. I can see why some players don't use them, but to write them off just because they're not traditional is only limiting yourself

I know it does the job when I'm not constantly changing it or fiddling around with it

Sounds like a plectrum to me

[quote name='scoobystig' timestamp='1375471814' post='2162030'] I use an app called songster on my iPad It's a mere £6.99 but has over 500,000 guitar and bass tabs, the iPad also plays the track for you so you can learn by ear, but glance at the tab if you can't work out the notes I think you can slow it down as well if needed [/quote] I think Songsterr's a great app too, good at showing you the basics but some tracks are lacking the detail

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1375164322' post='2157351'] Funny enough, in the "Amps & Cabs" section, we have this... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/135-impedance-etc/ HTH. [/quote] That's not what I was thinking, sure it explains it to you, but not as simply as the post in this topic

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1375135018' post='2157223'] Amp at 4 ohms = 1 4ohm cab or 2 x 8ohm cabs or 4 x 16ohm cabs [/quote] Something like this should be stickied, I spent ages trying to figure out what I needed until someone on here explained it as simply as this. Really helpful if you haven't got a clue like me

I put a set of Fenders on a fretless and they sound really nice, but they're a bit stiff and I had to adjust the neck because they're so thick

I like PJ's too, means I only have to carry around one bass

[quote name='blamelouis' timestamp='1373142441' post='2134158'] Yeah I have it ,great range of artists (no Beatles or oasis) but the offline mode on iPhone is brillant . Set quality to extreme put Denon earbuds in and the sound is BRILLANT. I have 13gb of spotify on my iPhone. [/quote] Oasis are on their way soon according to NME.com

GHS Pressurewounds are pretty good too, but they tend not to last very long for me

Some more Friday afternoon pedantry: Should have, not should of

I just think they look cool
