Figure out what you want it to do for you, then set your budget, then get the mxr m87.

Jan Hammer - Crocket's Theme ?

Seriously though, stick to what you know, but go one step fancier than you normaly would. It's party night afterall

Least effective ninja ever!

P.s. ninja gear always goes down wel with the crowd!

Recently I stumbled across a second hand behringer 602 eurorack mixing desk for about £20.
It's tiny, has all the inputs you can want, 3band eq, and stereo outputs for headphone, din (tulip), jacks etc etc.
There are several brands offering little 4-6 channel mixers like these for less than a set of strings.

It's slightly larger than an Ashdown pedal, so easy to stow, fit on a desk or on a bookshelf. Or schlep it to rehearsal or gigs (for your in-ear monitor, should you be so inclined).

Honestly the smartest twenty quid I've spent on a hobby.

Suffer.

Edit: Some skill in translating life experience to art seems to come with age and sometimes hardship. So do communication skills as to how exactly you want to play the music.

Isn't Manson still signed with Reznor's record label, as with his first two records?

I used to tell people Marylin was Paul from 'The Wonder Years'.

A pillow with a street-tile on it inside the bassdrum does wonders! And is not an answer to your question, sorry

PDA by John Legend.
Waited for the intro to end before we walked in together.

Awesome idea! I reposted this to the dutch bass forum basgitaarforum.nl

Jean-Claude appears to be strapped for cash, money's tied for everyone these days...

I once borrowed a Hughes and Kettner 600w bass amp and it was not particularly loud, certainly nowhere near as loud as the 350w amp that I had at the time. There is absolutely no consistency in the power ratings claimed by various manufacturers!

This I would credit to the cabs used. Put that head on a different cab and you will have a completely different experience.

Loudness is a personal experience also. What frequencies are perceived loudest by your ears? Cranking noise at those frequencies alone will change what you feel from 'lively' to 'racket'.

[size=4]Latest incarnation, I took the Pearl OD-05 off. It's lovely, creamy overdrive is wonderfull, just not very thrash-metal. MXR m82 punches right through though! It's awesome! Very tweakable to taste and situation.[/size]

I use a strip of the sticky velcro that keeps the underside stuck to the pedalboard.

Hook up the alarm to your bass amp.

Wipe down, then fast fret, and wipe again. I use a bit of old t-shirt to wipe the neck and body down. This ritual is performed after every gig and practice.

Thanks to this upkeep I change my strings about once a year, and I like them to sound fresh! Not brand spanking new but alive and singing.

There's a section on ze german bassforum bassic.ch that has many designs: [url]http://bassic.spreadshirt.net[/url]

But when you are playing your second open string your fretting hand has nothing better to do than muting the previous string before moving to the next note? Or use an idle finger on your picking hand, let it rest on the string you need to mute and play the note you want with your pick/index finger/what have you.

After days of checking out utoob reviews I ordered a MXR m82 aswell. The source audio sounblox sounded good too but sports way more options than I'd consider usefull. Chunk's Agent 00funk seems good too.
Searching for as many soundclips as possible and listening with several headphones gave me a ballpark idea of what I was looking for in a filter.

8 Ohms, you can add an extension cab!

If you own a soldering iron you can just make your own cables. It's good practice if you're starting out in fiddling with electronics and very cheap to buy a bunch of neutrik jacks (2 or 3 bucks retail?) And a lenght of good cable (I used Klotz). All my pedalboard connects are handcrafted in this way at the exact lenght they need to be.

Is 'Sold Out' not in use for a band name yet?

Don't skimp on hearing protection, you can't buy new ears!
Also, how can you afford to spend hundreds of bucks on basses, amps, cabs & effects and not want to pay to hear it all properly?
Save up for the fitted ones!

For a festival project I have used 'A Lot of Germans'.

Made more sense in the Netherlands.

Now that I would wear on a t-shirt.
