[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?

Very surprised bump!

[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!

Definitely make sure this is reported to the Mods asap using the report button

Well, this really doesn't fill me with much joy. As you'll know from my other adverts I need to sell kit that I really do not want to sell in order to pay some bills. This is the latest item and I am dipping in to kit I need rather than kit I like having. So, the price is set low to sell faster. The cheapest price you'll get on of these online new is £[b]765[/b] and despite a couple of scratches on the lid where I caught the amp coming out of a rack, this unit is as new. Alas, it has played just one gig (as seen on Instagram) - the rest of the time it has sat in my room looking all impressive. My original plan was to get a second Barefaced and run stereo, but car bills have got the better of me. [b]£500[/b] This QSC is probably my favourite power amplifier ever. Using a THUMPINATOR? No need, the DSP has a 24db/Oct adjustable HPF. - Want to use a seperate EQ for your cabinets but not your DI? Look no further. Want an amp that you can SET THE OUTPUT POWER? Yup, you can set the limiter to an output 'wattage' thus looking after your speakers if you feel that you need to. As soon as I have covered my bills I will retract anything that hasn't sold. Collection from near Norwich or postage is possible.

[quote name='jimi_1985' timestamp='1471907191' post='3116955'] I'm looking at pairing 2 x 210's up with a recently purchased TC BH550. So far I've considered the Fender Rumble 210's and the TC K-210's. Portability and weight are of the upmost importance due to a dodgy back. Would love to hear of any more suggestions. Also looking to buy used. Thanks! [/quote] The TC K Cabs are a very nice pairing for both of the BH amplifier heads. I recently reviewed the entire range of K cabs with a BH head. For the price they are very good. The cabinets are very well made too and feature Lavoce drivers which aren't cheap tat at all. I'm surprised that there isn't more chat about them here on BC.

[quote name='tobiewharton' timestamp='1471901866' post='3116911'] Cheers gents. I do like the Glock and Delano preamps that I've heard. Haven't seen Delano soapbars though - could be a gooden. Fine with the narrow spacing? Reasonable? [/quote] Yes, like the DCB, the SBC pickups use rails rather than pole pieces so string spacing isn't a problem. The 5 string Driver model is the same size as the MK1. The Delano pups are very nice. I'm usually an EMGer but you won't find a Bart shaped stock EMG, but the Aguilar is, really is a super contender.
-
Yeah, the MK1's left me wanting in a couple of basses. For that particular size, then I think Aguilar DCB, Nordstrand and Delano SBC (5 driver I think) should be up on your list. Very nice pups! I do agree that the preamp should probably go too and thus any of these brands preamplifiers are really nice. I;m currently using the Glockenklang 3 band preamps, which are very clean sounding.

Your credit card is calling BUMP!

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1471794140' post='3115915'] I would love to hear some soundclips of this pickup in action. Anybody? [/quote] There's this on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFasRbajFy4 The only downside I think with it is that the Dimarzio has such a high output, the interface distorted.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1471811095' post='3116108'] Find a teacher in your local area, it doesn't haver to be a bass player. You're never too old to learn to read. [/quote] Perfect. Never to old!

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1471366442' post='3112553'] Depends who is asking... [/quote] [quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1471448318' post='3113131'] HMRC would probably want to know. [/quote] In some slightly perverse way, I actually like submitting my yearly accounts to my accountant. I might not earn as much as I did in high-level IT, but when you know your guitar earned every penny that paid all of the bills, fed and watered your family and kept a roof over your head... I feel very, very lucky to be able to call this my career. I hope I can do it for a long time.

Would like to compare the US 62 to the 'US Vintage' I have in my CIJ '62RI. I'll see if I can find any YouTube videos!!

It always surprises me that so many people have so many definitions of what something *is*. The 'Being Professional, being a professional' threads went far beyond what the dictionary actually defines. I wonder if vehicle drivers are as loose with their definitions in the highway code?

If you are actively engaging, at whatever level and in whatever manner, you are a musician.

Here's a lovely amp for you to mull over whilst you get ready for Sunday dinner. A big big sounding amp that will happily do small gigs and practices but will leave you with plenty of headroom for all gigging. Just add as many cabinets as you need. A giveaway price as I need to pay some bills, otherwise this one would stay with me for sure. Tuner on board along with the option of having two user selectable effects available via the included footswitch. Headphone output socket and auxiliary input makes this a great amp for practicing with too. Excellent condition and has been well looked after in a soft case. Note the price of the footswitch new. The whole package is therefore a great price.

Anyone have any experience with the Bergantino B-Amp yet?
Dood replied to Dood's topic in Amps and Cabs
[quote name='Musashimonkey' timestamp='1471760317' post='3115549'] ... I was expecting to have to pair it with Berg cabs to get the best out of it. [/quote] Not at all, it still operates as a great bass amp without as the speaker profiles are user selectable from a menu, including a bypass option. That said, the profiles really do work very well. At the moment I'm afraid I can't post too much as I have reviewed the kit in the magazine. All will be revealed in the review issue. Dan -
[quote name='madiskubu' timestamp='1470902802' post='3109195'] Yes, it is totally crazy what you can to with it regarding setup and the Imprint really opens up the options. Check this [url="http://www.industrialradio.com.au/company/blog/poly-4-l-setup-in-bidule.html"]http://www.industria...-in-bidule.html[/url] As I already said, the main cool feature of Imprint is that you can alter synth sounds with bass guitar resposivity i.e you are not just playing synth lines (what you can do with regular midi keyboard more easily) but add a totally new dynamics and sound aspect to synth sound [/quote] With the wired fretboard I imagine that latency isn't really a problem either?
