Oh and if you play heavy metal, Norma Jean, Cancer Bats and Converge to name a couple, use the AD200B[/quote] I have the complete Orange rig, and in my opinion it owns the ampeg. The eq isn't the most versatile especially with the mids but sounds great none the less! It's also nothing a graphic eq pedal can't solve if you need for sculpting of your tone. Just thought i'd mention that Cancer Bats do you the orange head over here in the UK but Jay runs his own preamp before it.. think it was called a morris?... which is pretty much accounts for his full on distorted tone and keeps the orange head relatively clean.

Got given a 1994 Ibanez TRB- 50 bass by a mate last week. It's got a reverse p pickup, black body and one piece maple neck with the ibanez guitar type headstock anda sturdy looking bridge.. I set it up and cleaned it up and plugged it in and it plays amazingly well and the tone is awesome, very warm and puncy with a nice mid to it.... I was wondering how much these basses are worth and if I was to seel it how much I should ask for, I haven't stopped using the bass since I got it but I might have one bass too many!!

under and hour left on ebay!

Touring in the winter with guitars in a massive pain in the arse. I have opened my bass up on a number of occasions to a condensation wet bass. Thankfully my jazz bass hasn't taken any harm from it yet and it's played 100+ shows in the last year! It's a bugger tho, restringing a chilled bass is a nightmare and I have had problem getting the bass to hold it's string and not let them slip until the bass has got back to room temperature and has settled. It's also not good on support tours where in some cases you are coming straight off stage and into the street to pack down and load a trailer. Can't be good for the guitars. I think it's part and parcel of a guitars life though and a nescessary evil!

The way I see it is that our gear is there to be used.... if something dies it get replaced. It's all high quality stuff, built to last. All my own gear has been solid and reliable so far, depspite being often left overnight in the van. We're gigging well over a hundred times a year now, and so far everything is holding up well. We have spares of everything for the rare occasion if something misbehaves.... which sometimes happens with the valve guitar amps, but that would happen regardless of where they were kept overnight. For instance, my markbass amp is kept in a case, with-in a case, in an insulated van, in a shed.... No different to a house with no heating I suppose. Guitars are a different story, and I can agree with you that they should be taken in if at all possible. I'm going to change my evil ways! Don't worry, I'm not trying to sell any basses on basschat at the moment! Although, I must admit I'm trying to sell a pair of Markbass cabs. They would have paid their dues in the back of the van during the summer, but they are almost perfect in their appearance, and obviously they sound perfect. Nothing wrong with them at all.[/quote]

Hey, I would consider myself a pro bass player. I agree with the guy above. Determination, getting to know a lot of people in musical circles, versatility, taste, fingers in pies etc For example I play in a signed 'Rock' band but I also contribute to my main wage from the band when i have free time by playing upright dinner jazz gigs, ska covers band, session recordings for singer/songwriters etc - Some things might not be the coolester or most glamorous of gigs, but they bring in the cash that keeps you going. The last session thing I did was in North California with a UK singer songwriter doing an album produced by sylvia massey and michael c ross. so you end up in some pretty cool situations! You've got to take the rough with the smooth, there are alwasy ups and downs in the industry!

I just bought a SD qrt pounder pickup from them last week - had no real problems... they had the best price, and the postage was cheap - it took 4 working days to get here which did have me worried but turned up today so i'm happy! Yeah as somone said before - try contacting strings and things, they deal with my ernie ball endorsement and are really cool guys
