    [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1472190287' post='3119203'] You know when your eyes light up and your heart's lifted by a thread title; heft, punch, growl, utter bollox? Edit: describing sound is like trying to describe an orgasm. [/quote] Oomph, punch, heft, growl - yeah that's pretty much how I'd describe it lol On reflection, probably best not.

    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1472169455' post='3119163'] Where does Oomph start and end, then? [/quote] It ends before the Pah, Pah!

    Then below that you get the pillowy low end cuddle of a 40hz boost!

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1472161701' post='3119095'] I dunno, I'd put 'heft' at around 120Hz which is where the 'power' of a bass guitar lies, but 'punch' I'd place a bit higher up in the mids somewhere. Of course I have no idea what I'm talking about, as usual. [/quote] Oooh, I think I'd put heft in at 80hz shelving, maybe as low as 60hz.

    I played with a very talented drummer for many years. He had a beautiful and massive gleaming white kit that sounded amazing. What was even better is that he knew what construction of kit would give an amazing sound but was actually quieter than a standard 'live' kit. His choices of heads and cymbals meant that he wasn't over powering the mix, but also when we balanced our on stage volume, it was never deafening. His technique was superb too and would have no problems controlling his volume around the kit either. Come to think of it, my current drummers(s) are amazing too!

    Punch is usually a boosted range of frequencies around the 100-150hz range that gives bass guitar notes mass, tonally speaking. It's not the same as everything below those frequencies which tends to be the real low end and down in to the subs, but it's a bit like the thump you get from a kick drum. Through a big PA at a gig, it's that feeling when the bass 'punches' you in the middle. That's how I'd describe it anyway.

    [quote name='police squad' timestamp='1472116510' post='3118589'] excellent, I'm very near the train station,(if that helps) kettle's always on (well, the fridge is always full of beer) [/quote] You're a gentleman!

    [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1471862484' post='3116389'] It's not just a hobby to me, it influences every single day of my life. That isn't just playing, it is buying vinyl, going to see live bands, researching bands, bass, guitar, etc....the whole lot. {snip} [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]No one should ever stop you doing something you love. Music is THE BEST stress reliever IMO, even beats running and exercise.[/font][/color] [/quote] I just wanted to quote this, because that's me. Music, Guitars, Drums, Music Software, Electronics, Playing, Seeing people play, Learning Music, Teaching Music, Reviewing gear, Everything, EVERYTHING. I'm totally consumed by it and wanting to know more about it all. You are quite right, no one [i]should[/i] stop you from doing something you love. Especially when it's what you do to keep a roof over the heads of your family.

    [quote name='police squad' timestamp='1472115206' post='3118572'] where are you dood? You're more than welcome to come and try my SH. I'm in Deal, Kent [/quote] Well that is a very kind offer indeed! I'm actually up near Norwich but my OH has friends in Kent. Should we be making it down your way and I'm allowed to break away for some bass time then that's an offer I'd love to take up! Thank you!

    [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1472080987' post='3118435'] Try a Classic 50s as well if you like a chunky neck! [/quote] I think, though I'm not sure, I want to stay around the 42mm nut width. Maybe I need to try more before making that a definite. Which is an odd thing as my 7 string is obviously massive in comparison. It's the string spacing in particular.

    [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1472068037' post='3118244'] .... I assumed it was about Basschat flavour of the month rather than popularity in the whole wide world. [/quote] ;0) Keeping the love alive.

    [quote name='gareth' timestamp='1472066936' post='3118226'] The Mike dirnt is my main gigging bass If you don't mind the non contoured body the rest of the package suits me well, the tele head, 59CS pup Always get complements both on sound and looks, and people say much the same about the bass [/quote] Ahh ha ha!!! Yes, I can't say I get compliments about my own sounds and looks! How do you get on with the neck? I've a hankering for a nice chunky bass neck!

    Looking for contact details for someone at Fender Uk

    [quote name='Painy' timestamp='1472064188' post='3118169'] Well if you don't mind slumming it with a Squier there's a Mike Dirnt in Swaffham on one of the facebook selling pages . [/quote] Hey Painy! Yes, I'd spotted that one - I'm not sure if they have exactly the same necks. I suspect not. I've got a whole bunch of measurements from Fender but want to know what they feel like in hand ya see

    [quote name='Simon Andersson' timestamp='1472062876' post='3118155'] Dude! Insane. I'm also short on money so I'm not gonna be able to "keep it in the family", mate... Excuse me for not visiting this forum that much, maybe it has been discussed in the past and I have no clue and yada yada, but... Is it allowed to do a lottery over here? Like 220 spots/numbers, 10 pounds each. Everyone over here choose one or more numbers between 1-220, the peeps pay for the chosen numbers, you put the peeps names on a list in the 1st post, fill your magic hat with 220 small numbered paper bits, when all slots are filled (and you have your 2200 pounds) you draw one small numbered paper bit from your magic hat and the number on the small numbered paper bit will be the winner. Not allowed? Ok then. [/quote] It IS insane and it doesn't fill me with joy faced with selling either, but needs must. Unless I can sell everything else and a kidney first! Yeah, I did actually joke earlier on in the sale thread that if I had 50p for each view of this thread I could afford to give the bass away, but alas, auctions are a no-no on BassChat. Great to see you on BC buddy. You're a legend. We should totally be in a band together

    [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1471945702' post='3117113'] I went with Barefaced, although not 2 10's. I've got a Big Baby and a Super Compact. As yet I've not gigged the Compact but the BB has been impressive. [/quote] The Barefaced would be my recommendation but I realise that the OP was looking for a 'budget' conscious offering. I'd certainly say it's worth saving up for the BB(2) or in my case, I went with the Big Twin II. My back is SO happy now, even climbing winding stairwells!

    Pending Sale to TradFusion. Sorry folks!

    But, where I live, that's a bit like asking to pet a unicorn. I'm doing a bit of bass related research and these two neck profiles keep popping up on my radar, but alas I've never had the chance to try them out. Asking for experiences I know will help, but as always I need to get them in my own hands to try them. Finding one is difficult, but both in the same place at the same time!! Ahhhhh!!! ha ha!! It's all fun isn't it!?

    [quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1472042345' post='3117924'] Cheers guys , I understand reaper is not supported , but if I know what I need to do its not so bad , learning how to faff around each time is a total PITA, especially as I want to play with my new toys , not spend 2 hours trying to open the box [/quote] I've not had any problems at all on the Mac. 64bit Reaper version if that's any help?

    [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1471975631' post='3117420'] Shuker. John Shuker was all the rage when I joined Basschat, but then seemed to lose momentum. [/quote] Ha ha! You might wanna ask Jon about that, he's never been so busy I reckon! Have you seen the amount of orders he's produced recently single-handedly? - and every instrument is absolutely stunning! I'd say that Shuker was also THE big rage right back at the dawn of time, which we know was called 'Bassworld v.1' Still going strong!
