Ordered a cable yesterday and it arrived today. Very good quality and very nice guy. Thanks a lot mate, would recommend to anyone + its a lovely blue colour

[quote name='bnt' post='63193' date='Sep 20 2007, 04:42 PM']If I think of songs with clear 5-string bass, the first band that comes to mind is Living Colour. Especially the [i]Stain[/i] album with Doug Wimbish, songs such as [i]Ignorance Is Bliss[/i], and [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=DwZo1Kaq8aw"][i]Auslander[/i][/url]. ps: [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-mJUUAfZF1o"]here's[/url] some Bach on a 5-string, but there's a catch... [/quote] LOL!!! awesome banjo riffage!! Anyways back to the topic, erm I know someone has already mentioned them but machinehead is fun to play on 5 string, songs: Machinehead - Imperium Machinehead - Days turn blue to gray Then also something a bit heavier: Amon Amarth - Runes to my memory Amon Amarth - Death in fire There you go

Right well thought I would post this. Im 19 and from Dunston in Gateshead. Been playing for 3 and a bit years and have all my own gear. Influences include anything from Rush, Iron Maiden, Metallica all the way to Slayer, Pantera, Death, Decapitated, Behemoth and many more. You can see im more of a metal bassist but am willing to play anything ATM. Thanks Shaun

Well I would come along and give it a look but I seem to be working this sunday oh well good luck with the gig and hope it doesnt rain too much for you guys

PM Replied

COMPLETED

Well you have to start somewhere and this is my first "gig rig" as it were: Will post up pictures of my Lovely Ibanez BTB 5er when i get a chance.

Actually nevermind that post, I looked through the helpful pinned topic about what to check when purchasing an amp again, and turned the amp on without the bass plugged in and it was fine. So I then knew it was the bass. Then because I have had this bass for about 2 years I thought it was about time I changed the 9 volt batteries that run the active controls. Changed them, plugged it in, Sounds beautiful once more with no background noise. So there you go, sorted thanks to that wonderful thread by Oxblood [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1880"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1880[/url]

Hi everyone, this might seem like a real noobish question but please bear with me as this is something new to me. Just purchased a Gallien Krueger Backline 115BLX and a Gallien Krueger Backline 600. Tried it out at the guitar shop, perfect, sounded really nice. Finally got it home yesterday, plugged it in, tried it out and it sounded nice too. But, heres the question. I seem to be getting some kind of backround buzzing/crackling which isn't constant i.e. it fluctuates back and forth a bit. I was just wondering is this normal as im new to these biggish amps. Its not super loud but it is noticeable. Im using an Ibanez BTB405QM and thought it might have something to with it being an active bass? Anyways sorry if its a real newbie question. Thanks Shaun

oooh sexy!!! prefer the gothic one though

Hello Parker Im in the same situation as you on the amp issue, have the money just cant decide what to get. Welcome

[quote name='woodenshirt' post='2488' date='May 19 2007, 09:54 PM']Welcome Shaun, I love the band name.....totally spot on for your type of music I should imagine. Top tip: If you ever decide to change musical direction, I can't see you playing Jazz Funk with a name like that mate!!!!! Mart[/quote] dont know why you say that for?

[quote name='Rich' post='3839' date='May 21 2007, 06:56 PM']And presumably the tweaking, plucking and slapping comes later after the romantic meal and the fancy-coming-back-to-mine-for-coffee..? [/quote] haha awesome!!!! Anyways thanks for this FAQ I didnt know what compressors and limiters did till i read this so thank you very much!!!

I'll kill both of you and then i can have them

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='2014' date='May 19 2007, 08:10 AM']Let the NE be afraid... very afraid! [/quote] Damn right

On the subject of compressors, im wondering if someone can help me. I have heard good things about the Aphex Punch factory and have seen one i may invest in, anyone used one of these and care to share your knowledge?

So im not the only bassist in Newcastle I will bring my big muff along and play some heavily distorted bass lines, who needs guitarists anyways

Well i just joined basstalk about a week ago and now we have moved so I thought i would introduce myself properly. My names Shaun (if you hadnt already guessed ) im 19 and I play bass guitar in an extreme Metal band called Entrails (website and myspace up soon). Been playing bass for around about 3 and a bit years although it doesnt seem that long. The equipment i have at the moment is a: Ibanez BTB405QM no amp currently as mine blew up recently but am looking to purchase one in the next few days As for effects got myself a Electro Harmonix Big Muff PI USA and a Morley power wah pedal, should be getting my Russian Muff through the post in the next few hours And thats me pretty much, nice to meet all of you as you all seem like a very nice bunch
