    Good book I can recommend is 'Serious Electric Bass: The Bass Player's Complete Guide to Scales and Chords' - only downside is that you need to be able to read bass clef really, but anyway , it's phenomenal, got pretty much everything in once place. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Serious-Electric-Bass-Contemporary-ebook/dp/B004HW672W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340750410&sr=8-1

    rushers posted a topic in Introductions

    Hey everyone, figured I should introduce myself, I've been playing bass for about 4 years now and I am going to BIMM (Bristol Institute of Modern Music) in October to study for a BA in professional musicianship - 3 year course. After that, hopefully will have the qualifications and skills to do session work in between performing with my band, who are also moving down to Bristol. If anyone is interested here's a link to our EP, which you can download for free http://lieslieslies.bandcamp.com/ My current rig is Dingwall ABZ V --> Line 6 G30 Wireless --> Boss Tu-2 --> MXR M133 --> EHX Freeze pedal --> TC Electronic BG500 2x10 I am about to purchase a Genz Benz 9.2 head and a Vanderkerly 112EXT cab. hopefully if I have any money left over (which I doubt), I will also be able to get a Darkglass B3k. I am keen to experiment with effects with bass also, if anybody can recommend some effects that'd be cool. I have recently subsribed to bass guitar gazing and have done a fair amount of journalistic work, so I would also like to think I could write for No Treble or Bass guitar magazine at some point in the near future. Here's my cover of The Arusha Accord's 'Dead To Me' - I've had some lessons with their bassist Luke Williams and he approaches it in a really different way that I think is overlooked, check them out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1MdWwiBrvM& I could go on but I'll save the ranting. Cheers guys and girls. Rushers.

    [quote name='eude' timestamp='1340006345' post='1697345'] The Barefaced and Vanderkley cabs get a great write up, but they're also quite pricey, particularly the Vanderkley. If you want a vintage styled 2x12, you could maybe try Matamp, they seem to do very reasonably priced cabs and will probably get a you similar look to the Zillas. [/quote] Thanks for the helpful advice! I'm more trying to go for lightweight 1x12's I think , which is why I'm now drawn to the Vanderkely and Barefaced. I'm quite happy spending that bit more money on this purchase, but obviously saving money is always good! I'm about 5 minutes away from Bass Direct, so trying out gear isn't really a problem... It's just finding the right one. At the moment I'm pretty set on the Barefaced Midget... Can anyone recommend anything?

    Don't know what the rules are in regards to bumping but......bump.

    Yes, Zilla specialise in guitar cabs only, although you can get specific minor changes to help that low end (EG 18mm Ply instead of 15 etc) but with all the hype surrounding them I thought I'd see if anyone had checked them out. Also... Barefaced 1x12 vs Vanderkley 112EXT ... thoughts?

It comes with a padded Sterling Musicman gigbag & tools required to change intonation etc etc[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]There is some minor damage to the guitar, with a chip on the headstock and another on the rear of the neck. Obviously both of these things in no way affect the sound.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]There is also a fair amount of scratches on the pickguard, but you can buy replacement ones online if necessary.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]This bass also has active EQ, so require a 9V battery inside of it at all times[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2][color=#fb0034][b]MESSAGE ME WITH YOUR E MAIL IF YOU WANT ANY EXTRA PICTURES OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS[/b][/color][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=4][b]Postage and packaging will be subject to discussion, I'm happy to get it delivered by a courier, obviously price will be dependent on their charges, but you're also welcome to pick it up from my place of residence.[/b][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]The Basswood body offers great warmth and sustain. The bridge is designed by Music Man and uses Stainless Steel saddles with adjustments for height and intonation.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]The Music Man designed pickup uses a 3rd hidden coil for noise cancellation. The 3 way switch offers 3 distinct voices, series, parallel and single coil with hidden coil offers great bass tones with low noise.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]The 3 Band Active Preamp is based on Music Man's design and offers boost/cut for bass, mid and treble frequencies. Center detent pots for the 3 bands. The pots feel solid and strong.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]The 5 bolt neck joint offers greater access to the upper frets. The 5 bolts make for a superior joint that is strong and stable. 9 volt battery access is thru the back of the body and is easily accessed without tools.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]The headstock is small and compact, a blue gloss face with the Sterling logo in silver. The rear has a gloss finish to the hard Maple, which ends at the top nut, and has 4 open coil Chrome machine heads crammed on.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]The neck is slim, a C profile neck, with a satin Maple finish. The 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard is unbound with large white dot position markers.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]The Rosewood neck is bolted to the Basswood body, joining at the 17th fret on the bass side, and 20th on the treble, the cutaway here giving excellent access to to top frets.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]The back of the body is plain except for the neck plate, a battery case and a plastic plate covering the controls.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]The front is a bit more busy though, a large Music Man designed Chrome bridge with 4 individual saddles, 4 chome control knobs controlling volume, bass, middle and treble, a 3 way switch (more of that in a moment) and the large egg shaped black 3 ply scratchplate familiar to Music Man basses.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]The double coil pickup is amazingly clear and powerful, humbucking in its standard mode, it also has a 3rd hidden 'phantom' coil, for noise cancellation, so with the selector switch, you can go from coils 1 & 2 in series or parallel, or the single coil with the phantom coil, all giving a great range of excellent bass sounds.[/size][/font][/color]
