yeah..i'd have definitely learned more theory also would have generally focused much more on my playing and less on arsing about with motorbikes and drugs! peace c

1. Billy Sheehan 2. Steve Harris 3. Les Claypool 4. Norman Watt-Roy 5. Stu Hamm peace c

eh? whats with the polythene coated stage?! looks like a crime scene or something! ah hang on..its on grass - still quite odd! peace c

i preferred IAS_2+ also definitely a much 'fuller' sound, less weedy than t'other. some nice bass bits too....bit Ryan Martinie-ish although i'm getting too old for all this shouty metal and blastbeats! peace c

yeah .. two outputs..one for each pickup so you can run each to a seperate amp a la mr sheehan himself. (not that i ever do that...carting one bass amp around is enough for me!) the Attitudes are indeed very good basses....take a bit of getting used to as they have a [b]very[/b] wide neck and the placing of the humbucker/knobs means having to modify your slap technique a little..(although to be honest these basses are more about the ROCK than slapping) if anyones got a Red ltd 1 for sale let me know!!!......... by the way the Precision Special now has a Dimarzio Will Power split pickup, a heavy duty Gotoh bridge and a black/chrome checkerboard pickguard!!! peace c

(the Ibanez may be for sale soon to fund something new!!) peace c

heres mine:

just found this site which make jewellery out of old guitar strings etc (all for charidee) [url="http://wearyourmusic.relix.com/gallery.html"]http://wearyourmusic.relix.com/gallery.html[/url] and wondered if there are any other ingenious uses for old bass strings? personally i found that an old E string makes an excellent tool for clearing out a bunged up bath plug hole! gets right round the u-bend a treat!! and i vaguely remember an old pic of pearl jam where one of them has bass strings lacing up his doc martens!!! any more ideas? peace c

heres a couple of the top of my head - i'll probably think of more: [b]Michael Anthony from Van Halen [/b]- a pretty steady rock player but I was listening to the old Fair Warning album the other day and theres some very tidy little bass parts on there. [b]the guy from the band Live[/b] a post in another topic reminded me of him (can't remember his name and i'm too lazy to go look for it on a cd!) - some of his slap stuff on the first couple of albums is very good and a great tone too. and also alot of the bass playing on Kat Bush's albums over the years - particularly the red shoes album. peace c

damn thats nice...pretty much exactly the kinda P i'm after!!!! peace C

i had an original passive SB301 back in the day.... can't for the life of me remember where i got it from mind you.... hmmmmm.... was a very nice little bass as i recall too: lightweight, small in stature, nice thin quick neck and looked pretty sweet too. they used to have one or two 'name' users as i recall from the old ads back in guitarist magazine.....female bassist from shakespears sister being one (i think anyways..the old brain not working too well today!!..or anyday for that matter! ). i'd probably pick up another if i saw it at the right price peace c

ah! yeah i was gonna enquire as to how much that chrome attitude was......loadsamoney!!!!!.....but definitely a one off collectors piece! you could of course get a bass chromed like that yourself at sims for (i'm guessing) quite a bit less though but would be missing a bit of the billy mojo. peace c

i've got a whole marshall bass rig - 400w integrated bass head + matching 4x10 and 1x15 but have to confess that i've never used the head!! it comes out with me now and again as a spare but aside from that it resides in the garage most of its life! i bought the whole rig purely because i wanted the cabs!! from the manual it looks like it could be quite a good amp mind you...bi-ampable etc and the speakers are pretty good, though perhaps not as defined as some would like (good for rock though!) theres a strong possibility that either just the head or maybe the whole rig will be up for sale soon too! peace c

[quote name='peted' post='5952' date='May 24 2007, 06:38 PM']Clive. Neil from Dragline does amp fixing and electrical work. Have you had a word with him?[/quote] oh thats interesting..... was in stanton with dan from dragline so will get in touch cheers c

ok so one of the outputs has gone on my ampeg power amp...its old and secondhand and quite likely to be sold on quite soon. so was wondering if anyone knew of a handy amp repair man preferably around the norwich kinda area (don't wanna be sending it off as postage costs would be hefty..like the amp itself!) that can fix this up nice n cheap?? peace c

6U RACK AKG Flexx Pro Wireless 1u Korg DT tuner 1u Trace Elliot GP11 Preamp 2u Ampeg AP3550 Power amp 2u damn thing weighs a ton mind you so looking to maybe shrink things down a bit! peace c

oops double post! c

hmmm yeah must admit that i keep being tempted by these - theres a couple of places selling em on the bay for £269 which is a pretty good price, but yeah the 250 watts/4ohms a side thing puts me off as i've only got 2x 8ohm cabs....(well..and a single 4 ohm too). the 1000 watt one would be more tempting but not seen them at el cheapo price anywhere ..as yet peace c

Personally - I am against the smoking ban....i feel there should be choice...a smoking area and a non smoking area rather than a compusory law from a nanny state. and......(opening a large can of nicotine flavoured worms)... alot of the 'facts' about smoking are unproven and based on either very old research of statistics that the government wants you to hear. yes, i'm a conspiracy theorist but check this link: [url="http://www.joejackson.com/pdf/5smokingpdf_smokingissue.pdf"]Interesting reading about smoking 'facts'[/url] and whether you agree or disagree there are some interesting points made..for instance... [color="#000000"] 'Native Americans have half the rate of lung cancer of white Americans even though they smoke much more. Very few Chinese women smoke and yet they have one of the highest lung cancer rates in the world. Lung cancer rates practically everywhere have been rising since about 1930 and in some cases (e.g. American women) have not peaked yet, despite the fact that smoking rates have gone steadily down.'[/color] peace c

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='2762' date='May 20 2007, 11:39 AM']The dreaded [color="#FF00FF"]Yamaha Attitude[/color] is hard on amps. In spite of being passive, the Di Marzios run VERY hot, and the neck humbucker produces enough LF output to upset some smaller amps (and cabs!) when you turn them up.[/quote] yeah - i'll second that. the passive DiMarzios in the Attitude Ltds push out much more 'ooomph' than most basses I have come across, even actives. also, I had a Jaydee for a while and just couldn't get a good sound out of it when going into my old SWR Basic 350. peace C

well..just signed up for this here new fangled 'basschat' malarkey!!! was formerly known as CJ over on bassworld/basstalk...but now....just another noob!!!! peace c
