Thanks for the compliment - I am thinking of changing to UL310. Any comments on it? Can you also advise how high it stands off the ground. My only gripe with the 2x10 is that it is quite short when on the floor. I used to have a 1x15, 2x10 set up and that was nice because the 2x10 was chest height. Mind you the compromise in terms of portability has been well worth it! [quote name='mikeh' post='191592' date='May 4 2008, 02:04 PM']Nice basses, and I LOVE the rig [/quote]

Thanks Dr Dave - for turning the pic round - would like to know who to di it myself. Technophobe number 1 right here! Cannot give you the 'Ray I am afraid but all basses are for sale apart from the Sterling which a fellow BC'er has put his name to! Thanks again.

Here you go. None of your free NHS treatment round here ,mind - so if it's all the same to you I'll take the fretless Ray in lieu of my consulting fee![/quote]

In between Cheltenham and Cirencester in Glos. No gas here so have to go for the lovely oil tank. Would love to be in Devon or Cornwall though - my favourite part of the world.

I am in SE Cornwall.[/quote]

[attachment=8381:Basses1.JPG]Thought I would just upload my current collection for thoughts and comments! 2007 Ken Smith Designs KSD 704 Proto-J with EBS pre-amp installed (main bass at the moment) 1990 Warwick Thumb bass with thru neck - was the main bass for many a year! 2007 Musicman Sterling HS- Excellent bass and awesome sound 1991 Musicman Stingray (fretless) Can also make out the Epifani and Aguilar amps in the background - brilliant sound from these two. Sorry about the pic on it's side - computer won't let me rotate them - ok if you have a laptop! ENJOY!

I was in exactly the same predicament that you were not so long ago! I had been on a break from playing for about 4 years and when I came back into this wonderful world of music everything had moved on a I found that I did not really know much about the new names on the block and what they were capable of! I found Bass Guitar Magazine pretty helpful and bought back issues on disc to read reviews etc and at that time I was also using the forums on the Stuart Zender site to talk to other bass players about what they were using. In the end I had to make the considerable trip to London and spent hours in The Bass Gallery in Camden which had everything that I was interested in looking at and playing. I have to say that that shop is great the owner is really helpful and they have practically all of the top makes. I took my basses down with me too so that I could find the sound that I wanted using my own gear. It may be a trip and cost money but in the end it has to be worth it to get the sound that you want. I ended up buying an amp and a cab from a manufacturer that I had little knowledge of but the sound that they delivered was all the persuading that I needed! One word of advice thought about forums is that you do have to take most peoples comments with a pinch of salt! What sounds great to one can sound awful to another! I made the mistake of taking advice on forums and buying products from Ebay without ever trying them out first and never managed to find the sound that I was looking for! A lot of wasted time and money! Make the trip to The Bass Gallery - you won't regret it I can assure you.

Bristol Boogie by a little known group called Morrisey Mullen - not that hard but great fun to play! Hoping to do this track next with my band!
