I sold that whole bass on, with the bits attached. I think the mute and cover were removed by the next owner, but can't remember!!

[quote name='MythSte' post='670461' date='Nov 30 2009, 09:31 PM']I still think that Bacchus is the best looking bass ive ever seen Ped! :wub:[/quote] Cheers - it sounded fantastic, too. There's a track on my site with it.

Good call - but it's a bit hit and miss (not always even across the strings) and looks crap - and it's something else to lose. I think the Bassmute is a bit steep, but if you save money by buying other things wisely (like avoiding the smoke and mirrors claims of some bass cabinets and so on) then for something that just works and is a solid simple piece of kit, then it is worth it in relative terms! ped

Yeah I used to have one on my Jazz bass Really cool piece of kit (though pretty expensive - I didn't pay full price!) I would have one on my vig but there isn't any room unfortunately Cheers ped

Thanks mate!! As I said in my reply, they got my name wrong and chose an odd photo, but still!! Cheers ped

Got a scanner? hehe

Aye I would really like to see it - can someone PM me a scan? I won;t be able to get the mag until the weekend. ped

...And nice clip..

But look at youtube... you can see what he is capable of with a little prep!!![/quote] Probably early if anything - I didn't arrive until 4.30 and wasn't really able to get a 'stand' as such sorted!! Next year it'll be all singing and dancing, believe me. Just been a bit off the pulse recently and didn't really get anything sorted. Poor effort on my part. But I enjoyed the show!! ped

Really sorry I missed so many baschatters - I waved at a few, like Mark and Russ, meaning to come and chat when I was done with what I was doing, but with all the noise it was hard to hold a convo!! Cheers ped

[quote name='FuNkShUi' post='662648' date='Nov 23 2009, 01:40 PM']The first question i asked when i started going to lessons was "how should i set up my bass for slap". My tutors reply was "how do you want to set up your bass" i think what he was trying to get at is you set it up how it feels comfortable for you. There is no right or wrong way. Have a play about, try different things. Personally i dont like roundwounds for slap. Takes away some of the "zing" IMO. I have a relatively low action and use D'addario. 45-105 gauge i think. Thats what i had for the EP i recorded (website below) and it works for me. The song called Funk Shui has a slap line[/quote] Groovy tune!

[quote name='lee650' post='662154' date='Nov 22 2009, 09:43 PM']was keeping an eye out for Ped but didnt see him[/quote] Hi mate I was there with my brother but didn't manage to get there until about 4.45 (just in time for Poogie Bell) and had to leave right after Nathan East, so really didn't get a chance to speak to anyone much unfortunately... apologies to everyone I briefly met en route to the theatre and so on, but I nodded at a few people at least!! Congratulations and thanks to all involved in putting on quite a show for us UK bass players - a truly wonderful event and tremendously supported by everyone. Let's hope it continues for many years. How did we do without it?? ped

[quote name='51m0n' post='662057' date='Nov 22 2009, 07:34 PM']On the other hand if you play like Ped the strings can be resting a hairs breadth from the frets at all times (I've never seen anyone play that gently when slapping before, the guy's a complete freak )[/quote] LOL I just saw that!! Cheers, I think!! Wasting good energy just isn't my style ;0)

For me, it's all about relief - or lack of it, and a low action with light strings.

[quote name='longtimefred' post='660915' date='Nov 21 2009, 12:23 PM']Extreme are cool, only ever did one good album though, Pornograffiti! if your after a cool band, check out VOLBEAT[/quote] Nah I LOVE 'III Sides To Every Story!'

Welcome to BC - I am interested in the Vigier Modular (is it a black one I saw for sale recently? Do you have any extra modules for it?) Cheers ped

Deksawyer has modded his with a cushion by the looks of it... the sofa equivalent of a badass

Looks like you have 'ramped' the Tyler? Looks great.
