Sorry - but it leaves me cold. Heretical as it may be it's just some aimless noodling - largely without any real point to it, it seems to me. To be honest he might as well be tuning up. Sorry but I just don't get it, and that's no diss on you guys that do. However... If you wanna a real man play the bass, check this out: [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7_wGFfrJv4Y"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7_wGFfrJv4Y[/url]

A long time ago I had an Axe bass - (you used to be able to buy them from the back of Kerrang for £99) - and in a fit of minor insanity used it to beat the cr4p out of both it and my amp. By the time I had finished the amp had several very big holes in it and the guitar was completely in pieces. Completely. I was left holding what remained of the headstock, with 2 or 3 strings attached and with blood pouring down my arm from where the ends of the frets had cut into my hand as I had been swinging the rapidly disintegrating neck with what was left of the guitar body over my head and into the amp. I managed to take out the amp, the guitar, my hand, several CDs, a door, and part of a wall - (well the plaster), and my Boss multi-pedals. I tend to put it down to "having a bad day". I went straight out the very next day and bought my Aria, on arriving back at my lodgings I ran up the stairs with it and promptly smacked the headstock on the ceiling, knocking out a large chunk of veneer and laquer - (or whatever) - from the headstock. Not to worry though, a permanent black marker pen effected a near invisible touch-up job!

www.gak.co.uk do.

Thank you for your responses all, that's me sorted then!

Right apologies in advance but I am new to active basses and genuinely I don't know the answer to this... My bass does not have a battery test light, so how do I know whether the battery is flat or not??? Seriously, how can I tell? It's an Ibanez icb200 ex. Thank you!

Nah - I just figured that if I could somehow link both of them together, they would cancel each other out, or disappear in puff of internet-rage, or something...

I use them all the time and I love them. But the sort of music I make requires that I use them, so I guess it's horses for courses...

Yeah! Wot he said. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=34024&st=80&start=80"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...80&start=80[/url] Snigger.

NO. I think it's unreasonable.

You Suffer - Napalm Death.

We did ours using some free cd burning software, a printer with a cd template, some printable cds and a A4 pad of cards, cost about £25.

I would go for the RC-20XL, rather than the single pedal one.

Red ones, made of that synthetic woven material that's really tough. Use Dunlop straplocks, though if they EVER arrive, I'll put Schallers on.

[quote]Sorry, but that wasn't a strop. No offence intended, but compared to some of the stuff that's been flying around here, it was like a sheep clearing its throat on a distant hillside.[/quote] I'd like a poll on that. And you haven't said what sort of sheep.

[quote]tBBC can get you one he is going out there on Friday.[/quote] Epic Pun Amusement. Seriously though, I threw all my toys out of the pram last week and threatened to leave and everything, but - and here's the rub - I didn't institute a poll. Can I therefore now please have a sticky poll as whether or not I should have a poll about the fact that I had a big old strop last week; kind of a retrospective poll, if you will.

[quote name='cytania' post='347326' date='Dec 6 2008, 04:35 PM']Tried one of these out in the wonderful MORMusic shop in York on Wednesday. Very different sound from the Ibanez I already have. SRX is very bright, very piano. The Iceman base has got more thud and thunder. Previous player had left it in drop D with volume turned low for a dirty rock sound. Very impressive. Sits on the knee great. How is it on the strap? Neck stud is in the middle of the bolts I think...[/quote] Actually it's really good on the strap - possibly a touch heavy in the neck I have found, but a good playing position nonetheless - very impressed all round.

As the venerable Mr Git says - it's such a personal thing. There's no golden rule to be honest, it pretty much comes down to what you want.

IBANEZ ICB200-EX and here's a shot of my other bass - an Aria Pro II --- I love the Ibanez. It's an amazing bass to play and I absolutely can't get enough of it - tone, playability. As it's active as well it seems to play very differently from my passive Aria, and the nexy feels so much quicker! I love it! :wub:

[quote]Nice! I do love that Iceman shape[/quote] I very recently became the (very) proud owner of a black Ibanez icb200ex iceman - I Love It. :wub:

and if for whatever reason you utterly f*ck it up you could possibly be left with an expensive novelty-shape ironing board.
