This guy, because I saw him tonight supporting Frank Turner, and he's mental! http://youtu.be/otQ9zl9WIDI

Chi lost his battle last night.

Rock?

2-4hrs if the band are practising, 20mins if we're not. 1-4hrs if I'm writing. I don't get in from work til 7pm so don't get to play til 8pm if nothing else is going on so it doesn't give me much time. My wife works shifts which sometimes rules out weekends too if she's sleeping.

I use an S212, it's very punchy. In my punk band I like a lot of treble to hear the pick attack, but I barely touch the EQ, just have the tweeter on hard attack up full and turn the pre-EQ tone control on the Puma up to about 2 o'clock. Great cabs, well built, lightweight and sound great.

Yeah in the MOD section chose Monopitch and set the parameter to +12, I think the default blend is 50%. Being able to get somewhere close to a Unibass effect was key to me buying the B9.

Another hour spent on it this evening, think I've got the hang of it now. I've set four patches up ready for my next gig, then I'll see what else I might need. 1. Ampeg SVT clean 2. Ampeg SVT with high gain 3. Ampeg SVT clean with chorus and a slight reverb 4. Octave up with TSR distortion, blended 40% I'm sure that probably all I need in this band so the pedal is overkill for my live needs, but great to have the EQ and everything set up for any amp/pa and the tuner, volume pedal, etc.

Thanks, I'll give that a try this evening!

I saw PMT Birmingham was down to its last B9 yesterday so I took a trip in to give it a try, seemed way more than I will ever need but a USB interface with tube preamp, tuner and unibass effect is still worth £99 of my money! I had a play with it at home and it'll definitely take some getting used to. i found myself unable to get out of the looper without turning the power off! Also, how do you clear a patch so it's completely clean to set up a new one from scratch? I can only seem to edit existing patches?

I don't find Rotos stay bright for long. In my pop-punk band I've always gone back to D'addario XLs (I play a 34" though)

They work on my iPad! The RHCP song is good. The Goyte track suffers from a lot of clicking (the string against the pickup? Neck?) that always annoyed me with my Jazz, and a bit of string buzz. Otherwise some nice playing!

Absolutely. After a few stagnant years in a covers band I've reformed my original punk band and have a new metal band. The punk band is exactly the band I want to be in, and the metal band is testing my skills and forcing me to be a better player. Loving every minute.

If he was my teacher I'd have given up before I started!

Here's a couple of my bands, from 2003 - The Fatal Mistake [media]http://youtu.be/IWIzK_iWcSE[/media] and from 2010 - Liberation Works http://youtu.be/sbGxrztFkYg

Sandberg Seventy Two

Thomann. I did try the one at Bass Direct a couple of weeks ago, but I see on the website that's sold anyway. With Sandberg's quality I had no qualms in buying one without seeing it first.

I haven't even plugged it in yet and I'd say this is the best sub-£500 P-bass on sale right now! I can't do vids, but I'll try to record a few sound clips over the weekend!

My Sandberg Electra VS4 just arrived, I'll post a review once I've had time to play it, but for now here are some pics.
