Just recorded this via youtube.. quality isn't amazing but you get the idea! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukYdEixHo_U

never had any good pics of my rig here goes though: Marshall VBC412 with a Yamaha Power Amp hidden behind as it vibrates off the top! and a line6 pod preamp on the ground!

Is it me or is that E string hardly even in the nut? o.o

I'd rather learn and do it myself than have someone else do it to be honest as it's something I like playing around with

If you're ever doing a support gig double check what will be provided! Drummers especially so.. in regards to bass a lot of the time there will be a rig for you but please check what it is... I've had anything from behringer kickbacks (absolutely sh*te) to ampeg svt stacks (yay) and everything inbetween!

I used reaper to do the mixing.I struggled to make the vocals and guitar sound any good the dry sound was very dire and I couldn't coax something reasonable out of them at all.

Thanks for the advice.. I've never touched mufti-track recording before... I've been struggling to get a good reverb sound with my current plugin so I'll work on finding a better one.. could you give me some advice on making the bass sound punchier? I have a straight DI signal + Mic'd cab signal and I'm also assuming that the drum sound is okay haha! regards, james

i've never gotten on well with my p-bass mainly because it always seemed very dead... the notes never stayed around for long... i just tested out the intonation and realized it was way out! now i've fixed that... it no longer seems dead... either the fact the notes higher up the neck were just out of tune so i thought they were dead... or some how the different angle on the string at the bridge has improved sustain somehow?

Never really had to save up for any of my basses because they were all sub £100.. now though I'm GASing for a ACG Graft Finn which will set me back over £1000... so we're about to find out how long that takes... about 15% there

why not... 2007 Indonesian Squier Affinity

I'm interested in refreshing my Squier Affinity Jazz a little bit now it's all playing well I just want to make it sound better! so I'm after some replacement pickups for it.. what would you guys recommend? I play classic rock stuff ala Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Free etc...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W68s4zy3xg&feature=player_embedded#t=40 mixed by yours truly! here's our bandpage if you want to like us/see us! www.facebook.com/sdrrock I think my bass sounds pretty good eh

Thanks Skelf! I was just thinking... it's not listed on the web page... but does the bass have side fret markers? think i'd be pretty lost without them

popped drew an email... skelf, what is the nut width on the graft basses? regards, james

Interested in getting an ACG Graft Finn 4... but never played on any of the necks and the flat radius sounds a bit weird and the assymetrical neck! what do people think of them and does anyone know the width at the nut as it doesn't seem to be on the web page anywhere. Also... what kinds of sounds can you get from these with the standard east 2 band pre-amp? and finally does anyone in the manchester area own one that would be kind enough to let me have a diddle on one?
