    Sort of, I haven't put the Spector down since getting it and thought about moving the KSD on. Until I got it out for a full on slap session*, which the KSD won hands down. The 'Ray is just the 'Ray - that stays whatever. * B-doink, b-doink, b-diddley doink, b-diddley-diddley-doink repeated 'till the wife told me I was scaring the baby.

What about Geddy? or Tony Franklin, anyone know?[/quote] Ged uses his '74 with a sig model neck and has a selection of sig models, a Jaco fretless and a red Jazz 24. Big interview in BP a while back.

    [quote name='benwhiteuk' post='346218' date='Dec 5 2008, 10:32 AM']A comedy of errors, what a load of sh*t. The most f***ing annoying thing is if that c*** Inzaghi didn’t get his last minute equaliser at FP then we’d be through. f***ing c***. Calamity James, unlucky, use your hands you twat. sh*t happens, but realistically we’ve just had our most successful 12 months within the last 50 years; not bad.[/quote] Fair play. Unlike [quote]that c*** Inzaghi[/quote] 3 off the baggies sunday anyway.

EDIT: Ben, what the f*** was all that about last night mush? f***ing useless calamity c***.

    You should find a G&L L-2500 for that money. Played one, want one.

    [quote name='Sting2007' post='343534' date='Dec 2 2008, 09:23 PM']Hey how does that 210 cabinet sound ?[/quote] When I first got the rig, I A/B'd the combo & cab and the cab on it's own had a fuller sound than the combo. I'm no expert, but I would imagine this is due to it's slightly larger size.

    Luvverly bass, everyone should have one! Somewhat better nick than mine too, and older.

    Simple, buy the most expensive Spector you can afford. [quote name='LWTAIT' post='342102' date='Dec 1 2008, 05:05 PM']try fixing [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=32325"]this[/url] with a screwdriver, soldering iron and spray gun. [/quote] Madre de dios - an abomination!

    Righto, I'm currently searching for the [s]Holy Grail[/s] single cab option and these little fellas unfortunately don't fit the bill. I say searching - I know exactly what I want. If my back worked as it once did and the house wasn't being overrun with childrens toys, I'd keep this as I preferred it's valve sound to the SansAmp. Funny that, it being a real valve. A cracking rear ported combo is paired with it's mate the less common front ported 2x10T Deep cab to utilise all 575w. The combo is great on it's own, but the 2x10 just adds a certain je ne sais quoi. Well, volume and better response actually. Those nice chaps at Ashdown have conveniently removed the link to these products, but the 300w combo is seen [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=76"]here[/url]. It's the same but louder, manual [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/tech/manuals/ABMEVOIIManual.pdf"]here[/url]. The front ported 2x10 I've not seen anywhere else, but please feel free to correct me. It's a bit like [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=13"]this[/url], but front ported. £375 for the combo & £175 for the cab, £500 the pair to you mush. I need the cash for the new rig, so I'd rather wait for Brown & his bitches to sort out the economy a bit than knock a bunch of cash off the price. The only trades I'm interested in would be a saucy little* power amp and one of Claber's Big Ones. Fnarr. *Fairly big actually.

    [quote name='The Funk' post='341782' date='Dec 1 2008, 12:05 PM']It seems like most people in this thread agree that there's a time and a place for slap bass...[/quote] Me too. One song. And we dropped that 'cos it's too busy for us to play live. We are sh*t though.

    I have a 2EQ and it rocks. A one trick pony, but what a trick. It's not a Spector though...! Not tried a 3EQ, sorry. There might be something in [url="http://web.ecomplanet.com/TOWN8019/mycustompage0019.htm"]here[/url].

    [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='341067' date='Nov 30 2008, 12:52 PM']...since I've discovered the love that is Spector, it never gets picked up.[/quote] I now have this problem!

    [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='340803' date='Nov 29 2008, 09:41 PM']+1 And good luck with getting the bass sorted...[/quote] +1. Or get a new one. Or both. I thoroughly recommend a Spector.

    [quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='339665' date='Nov 28 2008, 02:48 PM']Buy a warwick thumb [/quote] Don't be daft - buy a Spector! Or just dig in and give it some on whatever bass you have. I'd favour the neck PU, but not roll the bridge off completely. Remember, when asking 4000-odd bassists, you'll get 8 or 9000 answers though.

    [quote name='Hamster' post='339585' date='Nov 28 2008, 01:47 PM']Sod the basses - I want a Chinese Air Force Fighter Pilot Helmet!!!

On second thoughts, why should I deprive the bloke who sells her the cheap Leatherman copies down the market of his annual sale.

    [quote name='OldGit' post='338103' date='Nov 27 2008, 09:24 AM']I know sound engineers have got out the Sennheisers for women singers I've worked with but, again, no idea what model of mic it was.[/quote] Hehe - Sennheisers are for girls! Old sound engineers trick - take the top off an SM58 = instant SM57. Same mike for bass & vocals.

    [quote name='M4L666' post='339327' date='Nov 28 2008, 10:24 AM']So you mean it was just Cliff, Lars and James kicking ass (well, Cliff at any rate) those albums?[/quote] Yep. Hammett just did the widdley widdley bollocks. Hetfield laid 6 or more identical guitar tracks using different gear. That's why it sounds so tight. Especially MoP. EDIT - I believe the production on every non-Cliff LP has been sh*te - was he really producing them?
