I've seen this happen before and it sucks. So I've signed too. Up to 46,228 now.

I have a Micro RD, and it's fab. Sounds like a valve amp channel. And it's tiny too.

I don't have experience with either, but I think you probably need to try them both out. The Aguilar does have sweepable mids which makes it way more versatile tonally. Personally, I wouldn't go for a pre amp without a mid control, for me all the sweet tones are in those mid frequencies.

That sounds like it'll be awesome. Some audio clips would be great to hear once you've got it. Enjoy.

Phone them up and ask.

There's an art to 'plodding' away holding down 4's or 8's. Anyone who thinks it's beneath them as a bass player to play these kind of parts is serioulsly missing out. The notes may be simple but it's all about making it drive/swing/groove/bounce (delete where applicable) which is where the skill and fun comes in.

Here are my B3 settings that I used for Plug In Baby. And before I get shot down in flames for not getting it spot on and exactly like the original, I know. But, through my rig, my bass, my board and with my fingers, it was close enough for blues on the night. And it sounded great in my opinion. I didn't use an octave, but it wouldn't hurt to put one on if your normal tone is quite mid focused or twangy. Mine is fat and bassy to start with so I left the octave out. Hopefully this will be a starting point that you can tweak to suit your gear. Effect1 - Bass Muff. Gain-55, Tone-75, Level-90, Mode-BassBoost, Balance-25. Effect2 - M Filter. Freq-84, Sens-4, Res-5, Type-LPF, Char-2 Pole, Vel-Fast. Effect3 - Graphic EQ, adjust as necessary. I hope this is of some help.

I'll get my B3 out tomorrow and see what my settings are for that one. I've only played it once, and I think I just used a Bass Muff and a filter, that seemed to do the job. I'll have my settings posted here at lunchtime.

I've met quite a few BCers whilst buying/selling gear, and at one bass bash. Ditto to the general sentiments above

Although I don't normally use this much nasty dirt myself, this bass sound rocks.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc18xt5wQnk

I second a comment made above. As it's a small business, if someone else comes into the shop, the full attention you were getting is suddenly halved. Understandable, but frustrating. Probably best to book your time in advance. But, Mark has lots of great kit, and BD is well worth a visit.

I'm pretty sure he's wearing white socks too. Oh dear..... it just gets better......

Hold on, Hold on!! He's nicked my entire routine!

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1389079141' post='2329562'] Diago pedal power £60 ish and never let me down [/quote] My mate has just bought one, it seems to be the dogs. 3A supply.

I play with bands that don't use set lists too. The difference there is that the singer/band leader will call the next song BEFORE the last one is over. No problem, it works.

I work with a singer who does the 'long gap whilst he thinks of a tune' nonsense. The guitarist and I hate it, and now we stand there looking at him, and keep askling him what's next, putting him under a bit of pressure. Unfortunately, this tw*t of a singer won't use set lists and is an unproffessional idiot who really shouldn't be dealing with the public. But the gig pays bills. It's a good job the rest of the band can really play.

[s]There's a lomenzo hyperdrive for sale here now, £45 [/s]No there isn't, it's sold. Sorry. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/226355-lomenzo-hyperdrive-l45-posted/"]http://basschat.co.u...ive-l45-posted/[/url]

I have used 1spots for a few years now, they're great. No noise issues and 1700mA of reliable power which will run a lot of 9v pedals if you use 1 or 2 daisy chains.. It has a really long cord too. But, if you have any pedals needing 12v, then you might be better off with something like a Gig Rig which will do both.

You can get massive discounts on Genz Benz Shuttle & Streamliner amps at the moment.

I picked up a cheap Squire PJ for peanuts 12 years ago. I didn't use it much for a couple of years. Then I took it out for a whirl and it was so much fun it's been my main gigging bass ever since. All I upgraded was the wiring, added a set of Quarter Pounders and a new scratch plate, and it kicks ass. Would you believe that I ended up selling my GB Rumour in the end 'cos it just sat around doing nothing! It just didn't have that classic P tone.

Those bass parts are so much fun to play. It's a shame ABBA tunes aren't so popular with most function bands any more, I miss playing them. A lot.

Ann Peebles. What a voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH3L2uL6Hiw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeGSVCSrm_U

[quote name='DiMarco' timestamp='1388191724' post='2319436'] I do not have an opinion. [/quote] Lol.

I've had a top year laughing, learning, buying and selling with you horrible lot. Let's do some more in '14! Happy holidays to you all. Rat.

Let's all remain calm and remember, opinions are like @ssholes - everyone has one! And this is one. An opinion, I mean. Of course..
