What's on the set list? I'm looking through you - The Beatles

You mean something like this? I wonder what it would sound like with this plugged into it... That's probably the tidiest bit of wiring in any Fender!

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1380652600' post='2228554'] There was indeed a 2x8" called the Boxster, sized to fit said car. [/quote] Is your next cab the "Roomster"? That'd be a fairly large thing!

Dubstep effects. Like this... https://soundcloud.com/xgsjx/the-auroral-zone

The VLE on the Markbass amp is a Low Pass Filter. However, if you're wanting a beefier sound then the Moog LPF adds a shedload of depth to the sound. I've went for a more Drum n, Bass/Dubstep sound & found that Flatwound strings, octave, dirt, LPF & a little chorus gets me what I want. But it's all about messing with gear (be that bass, amp, pedals or all them) until you get what you're after.

I've seen it before, but it still brings a smile.

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1380450742' post='2225319'] That seems a very short life time for any flats. You must really give your strings some abuse. [/quote] If I was solely a finger player, then they would probably last a lot longer. But I have a few songs that I play pick or slap too.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1380447448' post='2225258'] I`ve tried many different types of flats on my basses and can`t get on with them, however whenever I`ve tried a bass out that has TIs on it, I`ve really liked the feel. That said, when I play live I`m a fairly hard-hitter so I think the low tension wouldn`t be a good thing for me. [/quote] Don't worry about being a hard hitter. I didn't have any issues & I can be quite aggressive with the strings (I suppose that's why they only lasted 3 years).

I loved my Tommysticks. Snapped the D & have now got a set of Chromes. They still need worn in, but so far almost as bright as rounds!

I suppose if everyone midscoops, it leaves a space for the vocals to sit. Too often you get guitarists who don't scoop but boost the low mids & then all that can be heard, is them. I think it's important if there's 2 guitarists for them to have very different sounds or one set with very little in the way of mids & 'tother with little top end (both with very little in the way of bass), but it takes a bit of time to get guitarists to do this. My guitarists are now working quite well together. Like is said above, it's about getting each instrument to fit & get the band sounding like a band & not a bunch of soloists.

Good call.

From what I've seen of recent Ampeg build quality, it's been a bit Gibson. Random. What about one of the Barefaced cabs that's in the For Sale section? Not sure if any are 4Ω though.

Have a look at these, they're a little lighter than the Peavey... http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Genz_Benz_Contour_Combos_210,_115.html If you can push your budget to @ £500, then something like a 2nd hand Markbass combo could be had. which would be a lot lighter.

FUnny thing I found when looking for an electro acoustic a few years back, even 2 of the same model can sound different when unplugged. I went round everywhere in Glasgow trying different ones & ended up with a rather nice Freshman.

Try telling my wife that. Erm...

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1380389608' post='2224685'] There's me thinking this was about a whammy bar .. [/quote] As my wife tells me, it's not a whammy bar, it's a WahWah lever!

My influences for the style I'm playing now are the likes of Bond, Janek Gwizdala, John Davis & also a lot of jungle, breakbeat, drum n' bass, house & funk. All good fun

What's your budget? There's something to fit just about every budget & the choice is yours.

And a grid view. Or columns. Yes, columns would be good.

Have a look at the Moog Bass Murf. Not cheap, but it has tap tempo & I've found it quite a box of tricks. If you're near Perth, you're welcome to meet up one Wednesday night. I made a video of it, but I never really used the tremolo side in it, though I do use it for tremolo on a song now. About 3:52 has a little tremolo & also @ 11:18 I use the LFO as a tremolo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jisrnigFkAw

Try it in your amp's effects loop, some have a 50% blend (MarkBass have a jumper to change it). If that doesn't work, you could split your bass signal so one side remains dry & the other into the muff & then sum the 2 signals back together.

I like the music, the idea is excellent & I'm sure it's a great experience, but that video was boring.

I'd try out some other 2x12 cabs if the Aguilar doesn't have the sound you want. A couple of good quality 2x10s would be a good option over a 4/6x10 also.

I have a Snap-on Blue point gas iron that I bought about 20 years ago for @ £40. It's in my wires bag that goes with me to gigs & rehearsals so if there's an issue, I can fix it there & then. Mine's very similar to this one, but Blue Point branded. It's had the same tip on it since I bought it & it's seen a lot of use & still in good nick.
