[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1461413677' post='3034433'] After careful consideration I've decided to go with the TGI Extreme from Bass Gear. They are doing it for £37 delivered with a free clip on tuner. Thanks for all of the suggestions, hopefully this thread will come in handy for anyone else looking for a gig bag in this price bracket [/quote] They're great bags - you'll be pleased with it. (And the newer grey/black ones are miles better than the older black/blue ones)

The TGI Extreme youre looking at is good. I use one. Its pretty sturdy and a good size, no probs with zips. You can find them for around £30 if you hunt about. I also had the Protection Racket one but found it a bit big for my reqs, its as big as a hard case but isnt as hard on the car interior....... The Warwick one looks good too but i have seen a few fall apart quite quickly.

Top bloke who just bought my rack case - great comms and really easy to deal with..... Cheers Gilles!

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1460292352' post='3024370'] You went out of your ways to get it, importing it from the US, you definitely wanted this bass bad. Begs the question why are you selling it so quickly and as you say at a loss? sorry I had to ask [/quote] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]"I've been playing 19mm spacing 35" scale basses for too long, and my arthritic gorilla mitts just can't seem to go back"[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]There you go :-)[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] -

[quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1460277592' post='3024189'] Bolt-on vs neck-through? In relation to string life and tone, could somebody explain this a little more, please? Same strings (Status Hotwire halfrounds) on my through-neck Yamaha BB1200 generally seem to sound more thuddy, and die sooner than those on my bolt-on Yamaha BB424. [/quote] Cant explain the theory but i find that bolt on necks seem a bit snappier sounding and thru necks sound sort of softer.... -
Youve cracked it now - your confidence will grow. Try and make it a regular jam so you dont go cold.........and when you feel brave try an open mic jam at a pub. Well done 😎

The best bass playing you have ever heard.?
Mudpup replied to bubinga5's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1459767511' post='3019298'] Totally. Marcus Miller's style is soulful and in a live band situation he kills it but his records sound like Casio keyboard demo tracks. As to the OP's question another gem in the word is Dean Garcia. He doesn't play anything mega-complex but his tone and use of sliding makes an essentially pedestrial bassline sound amazing. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ7_ufLazwM[/media] [/quote] Really like this...never heard of them before -
Zoom B1ON Bargaintastic - aux in, headphone out, looper, drum machine and a bunch of decent amp models and fx Not as plasticky as you think it will be - seems really tough All for £40

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1454866157' post='2973710'] Lozz's Fretboard test - Rays start at 7.55 [url="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByzPCoa3ZiIJenUxeVBGU1FHR1U/view"]https://drive.google...VBGU1FHR1U/view[/url] [/quote] Thats actually the difference between a 3eq and a 2eq Ray there - its not the fretboard that sounds different.......

[quote name='Jimbogubson' timestamp='1459285429' post='3015205'] I'm onto that already! Cheers for the heads up. [/quote] No worries - theres quite a difference in sound between the 2eq and 3eq models. You can sort of get a 3eq sound out of a 2eq but not the other way around. In one of those links above theres a comment linking to a rosewood versus maple neck sound test that Lozz did a while back - if you look closely you'll see that its actually a 2eq versus 3eq test too and shows the difference in sound off quite well. i think the difference is much less to do with the neck and more to do with the eq. If you're local you're welcome to come and have a tinkle with mine :-)

Beta Test & Review D’Addario NYXL Bass Strings
Mudpup replied to D'AddarioUK's topic in Accessories and Misc
I am usually a stainless guy with the occasional foray into nickel territory. Usually i will kill a set of nickels in a couple of gigs, rarely getting more than a month out of them as i like a bit of zing and usually play pretty sweaty gigs. My usual routine is 3 gigs and then a quick dunk in meths for a couple of hours - that normally gets another 2/3 gigs out of whatever strings i have. My current fave strings are dunlop Super Bright SS or EB Cobalt rounds when i am feeling a bit minted. These NYXL strings are now nearly 2 months in with 6 gigs under their belt and they still sound great - thats unheard of with me and especially nickels!!!!! They sounded great from the start on my Stingray - i thought they were pretty zingy (contrary to what others have said on here) and had a really nice fat sounding mid/low mid and its hardly diminished at all over 2 months. Nice smooth feel and noticeably slippier feeling than SS strings. Really impressed so far but not sure i would pay £35+ for them - thats 2 packs of Super Brights - £22/25 maybe but no more. -
Thats a lovely SB14 you have there.......
