Moody

wow! thanks guys, I've been offline till today - so apologies for not getting back sooner, I'm back home tonight so will give them all a bash. Decided it is rather like a new girlfriend - can't keep my hands off it!

So, after a lot of "hmmms" and "ahhhhs" I decided to get me self one of these: [attachment=11560:moodysmarkbass.jpg] It's a Mark Bass CMD102P and it sounds awesome! Just love the tone on it, fantastic. Massive Cheshire Cat grin! Anyway, I know there's a couple of you lovely people on here who own the same unit. So, I've been fidling with the nobs and stuff, however, I was wondering if anyone had any recommended settings I can give go? I'm quite keen to see what I can get out of it and see what suits the particular stuff we do.

[quote name='xgsjx' post='186085' date='Apr 26 2008, 06:33 PM']The Markbass CMD 102P can be had for less than £800. Shop around on tinterweb.[/quote] I'm actually taking delivery of one of these tomorrow, can't wait! If you fancy a bash, it's in Nottingham - drop me a PM if that is any use.

[quote name='ben2323' post='240533' date='Jul 16 2008, 12:37 AM']ah north lincolnshire for me thanks for the heads up though Ben[/quote] Hi mate & welcome!!! I'm Scunthorpe originally - I managed to escape with a few scars!!

hmmmm... I used to practise unplugged when staying over in hotels, could never get on with it so I invested in a StealthPlug thing and some headphones, it is not as good as practising with an amp but it saves lugging one through the Holiday Inn at Gatwick...

When I got married, we had "Every Day I Love You Less And Less" by The Kaiser Chiefs. ....we're now separated!

That will work and you'll appear and feel like stars.. [/quote] Brilliant!!!!! Serisouly though, good luck. I'll see if I can get down, however I'm pretty sure I'm with child that weekend - mind you, she's 4 so will probably be up for it!!

[quote name='Sarah5string' post='225637' date='Jun 24 2008, 09:07 AM']Tell you what.. wish I hadn't bothered trying to sort something out.. all it's done is upset the apple cart with the 2 guitarists now hardly speaking to me (it seems) and the rest of us who do want to gig kind of just shrugging our shoulders and saying 'wtf??'[/quote] Sarah, just read through the thread, what a nightmare! A friend of mine pointed me in the way of this site: www.partysounds.co.uk as we're trying to recruit a new guitarist. Maybe you could try giving them a bit of a hug or some pie, or at least see if they will let you video the rehersal (as mentioned above), that way they may actually see they are ready. Hope it works out for you!! Why are guitarists so precious??? Reason Number 389 for playing the Bass!

I thought SC did most of their stuff on sale or return? I could be totally wrong though so please treat with a large dose of seasoning.

[quote name='metaltime' post='196836' date='May 12 2008, 12:19 AM']i want that pedulla[/quote] That pedulla was amazing, thanks to BigRedX for bringing it down! I have some pics anda video of rorykins playing it, I'll get them on MyWikiYouFaceTubeBook at some point today.

Just a quick thank you to everyone who turned up, really enjoyed it! Apart from the heat!

Righty, I'll be down from half eleven-ish. Printing some signs out as we speak. It's upstairs if you get lost!!! See you all there later!

I use a StealthPlug for when I'm practising away from home, plugs into your laptop via USB. The software has loads of different amp combinations on it and you can also load MP3's into it to jam along too. [url="http://www.stealthplug.com/"]http://www.stealthplug.com/[/url]

[quote name='nick' post='194154' date='May 7 2008, 07:47 PM']J's are for failed guitarists, who fancy having a crack at something that is (hopefully) easier to play, due to having two less strings [/quote] That would sum me up perfectly tbh!!!

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='194058' date='May 7 2008, 05:33 PM']Played my long haired geeks, who are still trying to upset their middle class parents at 35 years of age playing in "metal" bands to rapidly decreasing audiences, who also split their time between World of Warcraft and fetish clubs....[/quote] World of Warwick?

As it is this Sunday, here's a little *bumpy* reminder. Hope to see you all, can't wait!

I play a J so voted that. plus I can't spell [s]precison[/s] [s]Precission [/s] P

[quote name='budget bassist' post='184137' date='Apr 23 2008, 09:34 PM']The bass guy in my local SC is mint, really friendly guy, we're actually on first name terms, it's just a shame SC as a company couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.[/quote] BB, your in Nottingham arn't you? - if I'm right I know who you mean, it's his fault I play the Bass! he's by far the best one in there, legend.

I'm going for some recent-ish stuff: Holiday - Green Day American Idiot - Green Day On Call - Kings Of Leon Joker and The Thief - Wolfmother Song 2 - Blur Just some random thoughts.

[quote name='metaltime' post='185225' date='Apr 25 2008, 12:27 PM']im still def coming[/quote] Good lad, me and you are going to have Left Handed Corner! OK, I popped in last night to cough up, we've got the room from 12 noon, I told him we'd be done by 6ish, however we do have it longer. Those brining amps, I'll warn you there is a flight of stairs and no lift...

[quote name='dabootsy' post='184350' date='Apr 24 2008, 10:35 AM']In the band i am in the guitarist always tries to tell me how to play a basssline (i have only been playing for 25 years) which tends to do my head in as i do not tell him how to play things on his guitar. Is it because they follow the myth that a bass player is someone who wants to play a guitar but is not good enough which of course is a load of bo####s any views or am i being over sensitive[/quote] I have a similar problem, although I think I'm quite over sensitive about it. And yes they do, defo hold the opinion what Bass Players are failed Guitarists Not sure if that was any help at all to be honest!

Not long to go now!!! I'm thinking we'll do a raffle, pay for a bit of the room and also punt some cash BC's way. So I'm on the cadge for any donations. So far I have: 2 x 1hr Lessons at Music Learning Curve Academy, Nottingham - can be used for Bass, Guitar or Drums - Donated by Music Learning Curve Academy Nottingham. 1 x Bass Fitness book - donated by Music Learning Curve Academy Nottingham. 1 x Set of strings - Donated by Acoustic Jam Night @ Red Lion Sandiacre 1 x Bass Real Ale beer towel, ideal for fretboard wipeage - Donated by Acoustic Jam Night @ Red Lion Sandiacre
