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.

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.

Yey! Vbass chat!! Here is my bass with the GK circuit now installed inside... for anyone that missed it!!

PM'd back Si! Cheers ped

Yeah I noticed that too!! After fiddling with tiny bits of wire for so long a keyboard feels really clunky and weird... that's a good excuse... ped

They still give a good impression of the sound... and the improvement :0) I hate fiddling with electronics, myself - seems you are quite a pro!! As John is just down the road I persuaded him to fit mine for me!! ped

Nice, sounds much fuller... clips only come out of my left channel though?

Oh my mistake

Hmm I can't seem to access the sound clips?

That's an Elrick

Ah, the Skjold Offset Whaleback Although each to their own etc... TBH I could probably come around to the idea if it plays really nicely, which I bet they do! ped

Actually having looked again the Fodera is more extreme than I remember, but there is one manufacturer who make one with a MAHOOOSIVE bump, can't remember who now though

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='649366' date='Nov 9 2009, 08:12 AM']This hasn't got a massive bump where the top horn should be Ped? I'd like to see a bass that does then It's a Fodera, it looks like a Fodera! If you like Fodera's you'll probably like this If not.......[/quote] I mean the top horn sort of gracefully falls away into the neck, wheras something like thsi is a really large 'bump' which looks kind of odd in my opinion: See what I mean? Not really a fan of single cuts anyway to be honest (or Foderas, only having played 2)
