Morning all... I've recently decided to immerse myself in the synth bass world I've always loved but never tried! Got myself a Sub Phatty and am completely starting from scratch...no piano/keyboard experience whatsoever. I've challenged myself to learn and dial in a track every week, so in a way this is me making myself accountable to basschat. Would love song recommendations and general advice... and if anybody fancies posting their own videos that'd be great too! Here's my starter... one of the tracks that inspired me to try it in the first place:
-
Took my new Sandberg VM4 for it's first proper spin on Saturday... I think it's going to be a long term thing!

Good condition, slight wear as shown in photos! £45 collected from Bournemouth, or Devon if you catch me at the right time. A very decent amount of protection and neck support only really beaten by Mono/Reunion Blues Super-bags! Happy to post but it does seem to be about £12 insured. -
@SICbass in that case I was rather mistaken!
-
I think I know the band but can't trace the tune...
-
@SICbass Correct!
-
@stewblack has spoken... I'll give you two: This is the first half of the verse, and it's probably seeing a surge of popularity thanks to the film industry at the moment.

@KiOgon I like the thinking but nope!
-
Nope!
-
I'm hoping you'll all enjoy the depth of technical skill involved in this one...

@stewblack Pressure's on... I didn't think this through! Be Right Back...

That'd be Proud Mary then @stewblack?

IEM's - to Amp or not to Amp - thats my Question
knicknack replied to Swijn's topic in Accessories and Misc
I find it really interesting that this conversation has often gone down the 'All or Nothing' route. In an ideal situation it's always a good IEM mix and a nice amp. I'm a massive IEM fan and go ampless where appropriate, but I know I play better with the reaction of an amp and the feeling of (for want of a better word) some weight behind the notes. Stuff like the Woojer and platforms can do the same thing but unless you really want it to be quiet on stage you may as well bring an amp instead. I find even a quiet amp makes a big difference to the feel of the instrument. @Swijn it sounds like you're in the perfect situation to get stuck in with some help. If you're using your Amp DI there's not much pain in bringing a cab... some gigs you may find (as I did the other day) you forget to unmute the cab and manage not to notice! Also, from the perspective of a working guitarist, I far prefer it when there is a bass amp on stage... I find it encourages a more musical approach. Short version: Getting used to IEMS gives you a lot of choice in how you approach a gig, and you'll certainly never regret being able to hear better (both and off stage!). Be flexible and appropriate to the situation, experiment and give yourself what you need to play at your best! -

@krispn ha, yes it has both Upgrades and err... 'Upgrades'! I see a bass making way for my newly found synth habit so I am open to a discussion on this one. I went for it after finding the 70s models with the cutaway far more comfortable than the 60s reissues. Would've been nice if it was neater but it does do the job! -
Echoing everything above... @udo and I both trekked to 'sunny' Guildford today so I could pick up his Sandberg, lovely bass and top Basschatter!

For sale for the moment as there's something that's really caught my eye on here! 2002-2004 Japanese Mustang Bass reissue. A few things different to stock on this one. Firstly the good... Nordstrand NM4 Pickup (original included), Hipshot Tuners (Originals included), I am happy to consider offers with just the stock pickup. There are a few marks on it which I've tried to show clearly in the pictures. The pickguard is a replacement from WD music as the original was for some reason cut in half! A previous owner had also added a string tree for the bottom strings... I've got that for it too but I found it wasn't needed. Currently fitted with Dunlop Superbrights. Now the ugly.... somebody decided to give this one a home brewed belly contour. It looks rough... however 1. it actually works really effectively, and 2. it can't be seen from the front. But there's no missing it! Collection from Bournemouth very welcome, postage would be £35 fully insured.

Bump as of course I've spotted something on here I like the look of! The bass is currently in Devon with Classic & Cool Guitars (limelight Basses), it can be viewed there or shipped happily. -

Two gigbags and a Tick bag for sale... The Monos arn't in the pristine condition some on here have been, which has been reflected in the price. Collection from Bournemouth or can arrange to ship. Mono vertigo £110 SOLD Mono Tick £40 SOLD Gator Transit £45

@wateroftyne the best PJ balance I’ve tried so far actually... other basses I find to be an absolute mission sometimes!
-
@TorVic I think that's an error on the site... It's the same as my Limelight P/J, which should be 38mm. Now you've got my doubting myself though so it might be worth Bill putting a tape measure over it!
