[quote name='john_the_bass' post='474134' date='Apr 28 2009, 12:31 PM']That 5 cyl 2.4 diesel is a brilliant engine, but the Scirocco is so much cooler IMO[/quote] I like them both as much looks wise, but I'm expecting that you'll see countless Sciroccos on the road fairly soon, hence putting a dampner on the coolness that it has just now. The C30 R design is a much rarer sight. Still don't know how I'll get my gear in tho!

Silver Give it a bit of bling!

I used to put all my gear in a Honda DelSol! The bass & extras all fit in the boot & the combo went on the passenger seat. Now it's a '03 Corsa. Soon to be either a Volvo C30 D5 or T5 or a VW Scirocco (C30 is winning at present). Edit... Any long distance hauls & I use my slaves to carry gear on their heads!

Outta Love Again - Van Halen Dead easy bassline that sounds brilliant. But you do need a decent guitarist to play with. Anything off of the Cult's Electric album (& even crappy gutters can play most of it).

They used to have a Carlsberg Bassbomber in the rehearsal room where I practice & used it a few times till some lowlife broke it like they did with most of the equipment in the DC. I don't understand the mentality of the daft c*nts, now they have nothing to use. Was not a bad combo AFAIR but I only used it about 4 times in there & nowhere else.

I had a few sets of the DR Strings in blue & after a few weeks the silver comes thru from wherever you play the most (even with fingers). If you slap at all I found the G string doesn't last very long at all. They do have a very bright sound tho.

[quote]Does the tuner out still work with the lead pulled out ?[/quote] Good point.

[quote]OK you can pull the lead but that takes time.[/quote] Ahh, but does it take any longer than reaching for the mute switch?

I had a Klotz cable with one of those red silent jacks, lasted about 2 months. Didn't take it back as the kittens had bitten the cable at the other end & I had chopped it & resoldered the black jack back on so thought it might be a bit cheeky to do so. I have another Klotz cable that the cat's haven't been near & it's not all that good. Picks up interference & like the other Klotz cable, always wants to roll itself back up (how annoying is that). Got myself a braided TGI Wired/ Barnes & Mullins cable & it's very good considering it was only a tenner! Maybe in a few years when they sort the problems out with the silent jacks I might try em again.

TBH I think the £7300 Musician looks like they got a lot of nice individual parts & then just stuck them together without any thought going into it. I wouldn't buy it at £730 let alone that price. My SR1000 is one of the best sounding basses I've ever played (it's why I bought it, not for the looks as the one I tried in shop was pink & had to order the colour that I wanted) & I like the shape of the bass.

I think most guitarists think the rest of the band is just there for a backing track for them to noodle all over (really f@c<ing annoying when the singer's trying to be heard over him). How about filling your space with a small catapult that's aimed at the guitter that fires marbles at him every time he goes too loud or starts noodling. My guitter would be constantly getting shot!

+1 for the Producer Placebo Box. It reminds me of guitarist's amp controls. He turns them & it sounds no different. I did a little investigating & discovered a dial on the back of his amp that says wattage below it, set to max of course... I suspect this being the only thing on the amp that can adjust the noise he produces in rehearsals!

I've just noticed on the Bass Centre's website they have em. [url="http://www.basscentre.com/bass-effects/order/2/"]http://www.basscentre.com/bass-effects/order/2/[/url] £258 is a slightly better price for the synth.

Not sure about the Boomstick, but 98% of pedals have a - tip (Moog's are + tip). You might want to check this.

Sorely tempted to get the Synth, but I'll wait until there's been a couple of reviews. Anyone able to go to the GAK shoppe & see if they has em?

I think the Little Giants was advertised over a year in advance! That's being keen.

[url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/mark_bass/~fx~pedals"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/mark_bass/~fx~pedals[/url] Very interested in the Super Synth!

I might have a look at these. & here's me thinking they run out of T's & only had N's left.

I don't have a 5 (yet), but if I was to play something in G (which quite a few of our songs are) I'd most likely be using the low B, C & D within what I'm playing (one of the reasons I want one). & Monz' reason for having one is pure class. I think the drummer would be the only person who likes it.

Get yourself a moogerfooger 101 & exp pedal and get a good dirty fuzz & that should be you. If you plan on having an overdriven sound all the time, then the mf101 does a very good analogue distortion (drive).

[quote]To get a bit of elevation I like to stick my cab on top of the g**tarist's combo. Sounds crap of course but really p*sses him off[/quote] That is a genius idea! I'm gonna have to try it. ^_^
