Klotz cable and Neutrik jacks do it for me

Mono graphics are also useful if you have a single, mono monitor mix. Personally, I find graphics more useful on the monitors than FOH.

Zoom B2 also has a 'fretless' emulator...

Yep - the dirt and grime from your fingers gets into the wood grain so the only way to 'clean' it is to sand off the surface layer.

Most amps put out their maximum power into 4ohms. Look at the speaker in the Behringer and you will probably see it is an 8ohm driver.

Have you tried the different types of Rotosounds...? Their range is extensive...

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1328048850' post='1521084'] I'm looking forward to getting my set. I also recommend the tape wound strings. They have a huge fat motown sound. Especially if you play them with a mute. [/quote] Do you mean the Rotosound Jazz Bass 77 monel flatwounds...?

I sent a PM on the same day as the post was made and I've heard nowt The OP hasn't responded here since the post was...er...posted...

Some of the Overwaters stretch to a 38" scale Only recommended for the gibbons among us...

A very generous offer I reckon - I used to use the RS66 stainless set for many years discreet - you have a PM.

Im just borrowing it at the mo with a view to trade something for it. It's exactly like this one: [url="http://www.westone.info/thunder3afretlessbass.html"]http://www.westone.info/thunder3afretlessbass.html[/url]

[quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1325771700' post='1487397'] Westones are beautiful and amazing to play! I would really like a Thunder IIa, the version with 2 precision style pups and the xlr output if anyone has one to sell........... [/quote] My second 'proper' bass was a Westone Thunder IIa - it followed an Ibanez Blazer P-bass... I will always regret selling that monster. I have just picked up a Thunder III fretless so happy days

Can I join in - I've just acquired a Westone Thunder III fretless and I've been playing it for over two hours...I love fretless

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1327589839' post='1513854'] It is insane that the new American Select Jazz Bass retails for around £1800 when you could buy a second hand vintage Fender for not much more! [/quote] I wouldn't buy the USA Fenders out of principle - the prices here are ridiculous.

I like the RB40 Nickel Rotos - been using them without a problem for some years now.

Had a Mr R.Plant in the audience at a gig in London once I also played a set in a covers/jam band with John Coghlan from the Quo on drums - no rehearsal I just flew it from the hip.

[quote name='musophilr' timestamp='1327424620' post='1511009'] Today I tried a compressor pedal. I'd have to tinker a lot more with the controls before I found a sound that I preferred to the straight through sound. Maybe at gig volume it'll be different. [/quote] I'm on the search for a compressor - keep in mind that there are many makes and types which react to your playing differently and sound different - it may take some hunting to find the one you like. As to effects in general, it's all about the sonic palette man...
