  1. I wonder if it is what Chris and I discussed a couple of years ago? (I really don’t know at this point as I couldn’t go to the show.)
  2. Pop to The London Bass Show this week. There will be no shortage of folk showing you they are better than the next person at slap bass lol. #ProudToBeASlapFreeZoneAtLBGS
  3. I have to say that I always go straight for my music collection and play my favourite well-known tunes through my cabinets for the reason you mention above. My usual system to listen to music through is a set of studio monitors, so it's very easy to tell what a speaker cabinet is doing to the sound in comparison. As @EBS_freak says, 90% of bass cabinets on the market are highly coloured. (the other 10% are coloured too for that matter ha ha)
  4. I'm listening to the (blatant plug) brand new album from the band Ostura called "The Room" which is available to buy, download and stream from this very link: https://umusicmena.lnk.to/TheRoomFP Featuring, of course myself, my long time dear friend Thomas Lang, Marco Sfogli, Arjen Lucassen, Michael Mills (from Toehider and Ayreon) and these rather awesome lovely people below. Oh wait... and The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra!!!! https://umusicmena.lnk.to/TheRoomFP iTunes, Spotify etc etc

      Will look forward to checking it out, Dan!

      Looking at the photo wondering whether a) you scrub up pretty well, or b) were on the way to a court hearing when the band said “Don’t forget the photo-shoot...” :biggrin::drinks:

      The job's a good 'un.

      The Room is a nicely polished work.  It has a great blend of classical strings, male and female vox and the prog ethic.  Like all sophisticated works, the first listen is a tease.  I will enjoy listening to this again and again.

  6. Go to The London Bass Guitar Show for starters!
  7. Plenty, many.. they don't come to BassChat though.

    I managed to bag my LT on 24 months interest free via PMT! Bonkers and so pleased I did when they offered it!
  9. Buy this immediately and then get the gold hardware. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Japan-PB70-70-BLK-Made-in-Japan/183049189614?hash=item2a9e94f8ee:g:7ecAAOSwDVtacy8I
  10. oh, p.s. if you are using the Micro Di, come out of the preamp out on your amp and send the DI to FOH. If you are using a preamp pedal then have that create all your gritty sounds and send that to FOH, don't use the DI on the amp (which I suppose could then be left with a clean sound..) The latter not being the cheapest option and would have you replicating gear. So I'm going with the Di route. Also check out the Mooer Radar pedal which is getting some great reviews at the moment.
  11. The brand new Darkglass Omega Ultra allows you to install an IR in it's signal path. You could send that direct to PA. Or, if you want to save a few pennies and are on a serious budget, I often use a Fender re-badged Mooer Micro DI which is a DI box that has a speaker emulator on board. The emulator is supposed to be a 4x12 but the good news is the low end roll off wound upset most bassists at all.
  12. Thank you so much indeed! The @Bergantino Audio HDN212 is a superb cabinet. For reference everybody, here's the article in question with the video: https://www.guitarinteractivemagazine.com/issues/issue-45/reviews/bergantino-audio-b-amp-and-hdn112-cabinet/

    New Tech21 Q\Strip.

    Thank you - I really do want one of my own too actually!
  14. You'll be able to work out what off the shelf D'Addario strings to use at that tuning with their very helpful http://stringtensionpro.com app. You'll be able to balance up the tension and tweak it to your preferred feel. This is of course working on the assumption you are on parallel frets, as you may come unstuck if you have a 37" scale length. Then, in that case, Si's suggestion to talk to Newtone is highly recommended. They actually made me a 145 gauge string for a 34" scale bass that maintained tension down to F# which was quite awesome. However, a string with more mass made for the tuning will sound better. I.e., I'm just using up the last of my 183's for my F#.
  15. Is there a good link out there regarding the differences to compare as I'm not familiar with RCF at all really.
  16. Whilst I'm here, I find this to be an idea solution
  17. A friend of a friend makes custom knobs for instruments: http://www.endlessknobbing.com
  18. I think this is a configuration that I would be interested in - but that's only based on the fact that I have tried the Mackie 8" version which sounded great and I have reviewed the Q/Strip that I was blown away with. I expect these two together would be awesome, with the 12" driver instead. How have you been finding it so far?
  19. Yeah, I'd like to find a way to make that possible!
  20. I have to admit that my P bass here has a Dimarzio P pickup in it and I do have a Will Power in the cupboard that I had in another bass. Yeah, it certainly does sound massive! Best I get that back installed soon!
  21. I've only had the chance to try the BB Sheehan model and that, or at least the example I played, was very impressive in itself. Really want to get my hands on one of these too, as I think it'd be a superb 'P' to have about.
  22. Yup, same here. Great idea and folds away fairly easily!
  23. Awwww, one day!!.. I'd love one of these and it's the right colour, although I wish they'd make the 2's and 3's in Candy Apple Red. Best I get on and do my lottery numbers!!
  24. I meant to post a picture of the odd set in my packet that seemed to be more comfortable than the others pictured in my link. : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Comfortable-Silicone-Anti-Slip-Accessories-Eyeglass/dp/B00ZO9MFKK/ref=pd_sbs_60_11?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=GGZJ0RB57EYJXM0848DB They do dig a little after a couple of days use as I've not adjusted them properly but they do seem to help!

    I came up with a great idea... it was too obvious! I've dropped Bryn and Lee a message over at Roqsolid!
