    You just need a good interpretation of the song, so that it sounds faithful to the original and is enjoyable to listen to. Have a look at massive bands of the 70s and 80s. Listen to their albums, then see what they play live. Youd think they'd be identical, but the reality is they are much more watered down versions. They still feel and sound great, and youd hardly notice, but so many big bands did this. The experience of listening to a lp or cd and the experience of being involved in all that is going on when watching and experiencing a band live, are two completely different things.

    Hi all, Just wondering if there are any deep hard cases for basses? I have a stagg generic case and its brilliant as it has a compartment where you can put cables, tools, strings, tuner etc. Just wondering is there any 'deeper' cases, or cases with compartments in, so I can fit my bass, cables and amp - quilted 800? My current stagg one fits my elf, but if I could find one that fitted everything, that would be brilliant.

    This is where you'll struggle - almost every manufacturer at the moment has stopped doing anything in a natural precision but really high end, high cost, basses. Cant find decent priced ones for love nor money! Loads and loads of jazzes, but no precisions. Then, when you do find one, you'll need a custom made scratchplate, as I found, they've run out of making those at a decent price too, and those that are available wont fit! The best option would be to find a squire or affinity in natural (I've been looking for months to no avail) and mod the decal. Failing that a fender fsr in natural. PS Doods basses look awesome!

    Not really. Though o can see the point. Theres no real warmth or growl yet, just flatness (i see the irony!). They might sound great in a while, I might be judging them too early.

    I'm gonna go the chromes route I think. The bass sounded great with the stock roundwounds on. I've put the ghs precision flats on, and although it sounds like the bass whisper video, in a mix it sounds quite dull. It needs that zing back. Still to play it through the amp yet (just played it through helix and headphones), but if it's still dullish (especially in the low end) then chromes it is!

    Just arrived. Gees these are so well built and finished.

    No, it was dv247. Andertons are order only. I ordered froms dv247 yesterday and it due any minute. Cant beat that. And it was cheaper. I ordered some ghs precision flats with it, as per the bass whisperer video, and got another £15 off. All in all £500 delivered.

    G&L fan here! I've got a LB100 coming today. Cant wait! That SB looks and sounds great!

    I know it's frustrating, but it's just the way things are manufactured now. It's a throw away society. You cant win. Either a new board is expensive in relation to the cost of the amp, or the part is cheap but the labour of diagnosing and fixing is expensive. Got to put a mention Ashdowns way. I'm sure they pride themselves on their amps having serviceable parts, so they can always be fixed. The old school ways are the best sometimes.

    Neck Care

    la bam posted a topic in Bass Guitars

    Afternoon all, Its very very rare i ever buy a new bass. Having just bought one (g&l m2000) and another on the way (g&l lb100) i am just wondering do people still treat their bass necks when buying a new bass? I dont know if this is still a thing, but the last expensive new bass i bought was around 20 years ago, when there was a plethora of neck treatments and lubrications being pushed. Anyone do this still? Or will it be fine just as is? Thanks

    A weird title, but where do you all positioning your right (plucking) hand when playing? Being a p bass player near all my life I find it really comfortable between the pickups and bridge. However when I've moved to a jazz I just found the pickups in the way, so much I completely lowered them. I recently had a year back with a p bass - very comfortable. However I've just bought my first double humbucker bass and find it really difficult to find where to play. Over the individual humbuckers is difficult because I keep whacking them, and in between is very short space. Last night I tried much closer to the neck, above the highest humbucker and it took some getting used to as my frtting hand stayed the same but my right arm was much more closer to it than usual. The sound was fantastic though, much more rich and punchy than where I normally play.

    Excellent transaction. Really easy to deal with. Good communication and friendly. Recommended buyer. Enjoy the cab!

    You can also add a 'volume' block and boost after the amp, or eq block has level too.
  17. la bam
    Are the job Willis settings loud enough? As the drive affects volume on a lot of these sims?

    Replied.

    Will take £195. Bargain for a top quality cab.

    You need the duffers to make the good ones sound good. If you give them all out quality from start to finish then it just becomes the norm. Rise and fall is where it's at for building a set list.

    Cab has feet on both the bottom and a side, so can be used as in the photos or stood up.

    As new. Only used twice in the house. I bought this to compliment my laney nexus n410 for the occasional big gigs, and the truth is I simply didn't need too. I did think of just keeping this for smaller gigs, but I might as well just take my 410. Fantastic cab. Comes in around 18kg. These are currently £465 at Dawsons. I'll accept £250 pick up from Leyland, Lancashire, or can post for around £25.
