  1. Keep it as it was stock....itll sell better when you (if you) decide to move it on Lots of people use the GK heads without the GK cabs.
  2. Boss TU2 or Korg Pitchblack My preference is the TU2 though. Borrowed one for a few weeks, loved it, bought my own.
  3. [quote name='SisterAbdullahX' post='635191' date='Oct 24 2009, 11:42 AM']How long before the Shuttle Max 9.0 comes out, dou you reckon? Would seem to be the logical way to go. In fact, it would be more logical than the 12.0.[/quote] Hey Well, UK shops are taking pre-orders and saying a few weeks. I reckon we are looking at a month but thats fine with me....means I can have more money saved up! Its definitely more logical than the 12.0 for me....I prefer that it powers a 8 ohm cab with the 500W and is so small! All my cabs apart from the Berg are 8 ohms and mid sized, so this little amp is perfect for showing their true potential as stand alone 8 ohm cabs.
  4. [quote name='urb' post='633260' date='Oct 22 2009, 10:58 AM']Moving is often a good option - I've experienced similar phases in the past - the first place I moved after college was to Oxford (after signing on for 18 months in my small hometown!) I got out to lots of jam sessions and as I moved with a musician who had already lived there I got hooked up with quite a few jobbing bands - I was very busy with gigs for a couple of years - and also joined a band in London as the Oxford Tube coach service was a cheap way to schlep back and forth from there - and I have to say I've not looked back since - there are lots of opportunities out there - you just have to go and grab them yourself and not always wait for them to come to you... Go for it Cheers Mike[/quote] +1 Sometimes its time to pack it up and move on. I kinda wish my home band would just fold and give up so I dont leave and regret it in a few years. But, its taken about 5-6 months to write 2 new songs, and thats just not good enough for me. Plus, our crowd of fans have now moved on to pastures new, and they wont be coming back very often. Theyve all got new bands as well in their new towns. Ill miss my drummer, a lot. Hes fantastic....Im hoping later in life I will be in another band with him. But, sometimes a risky move is the RIGHT move. I hope anyway!
  5. Basically next year im going to cain out a custom Matamp.
  6. Seen some really low prices on these! Jees...incredible for what you get. Seriously seriously tempted. 2010 will have to be virtually GAS-les if I do.
  7. [quote name='tredders' post='633926' date='Oct 22 2009, 10:20 PM']'75 Jazz re-issues are lovely! I've had TI flats on mine for a while, and it sounds and plays great. Mark.[/quote] WOW! More white basses....must resisttttt!
  8. After testing some of the earlier S1's, they werent as worth it...even though they were still nice. Total change with the new American Series 08/09. For £799-£850, you get a LOT for your money. Yes, mass produced, etc etc, but the new bridges, cases, necks, and tuners make them much more on par with the fender copiers. A few years back, before the S1, I bought a USA Natural Jazz...it was awful compared to this beauty I have now. That pre-S1 cost me a little more than one of the new ones...probably because internet prices werent as vicious so they sold closer to retail. I played a MIM Jazz, and yes it was decent, but it did not have that perfect Fender Jazz tone, and it was fairly heavy. Plus, the bridges/cases/necks/tuners are not upto spec with the new American Series. £799-£850 for a new American Fender isnt that bad, I dont think. £1900 for a Sadowsky Metro is far too much. Why do you think I bought three?! But a MIM DOES get the job done pretty well
  9. ALL of my cables have been replaced by OBBM cables...I even have some spare ones now. I even bought a new Guitar Amp-Cab Cable...just to make it all the same

    8x10s

    If youve got some cash to spare...sell it and get a second hand Bergantino NV610. Problem solved.
  11. Definitely agree, Got some awesome advice, sold my items to some awesome chaps and bought some from some awesome chaps. Recently Nigel and Clarky, oh and Iamapirate. Everyone I have met has been very friendly and 100% genuine. Its totally different to the dreaded ebay! My GAS has got a LOT worse though...but I dont mind that. Ive tried lots of different styles of playing recently too, due to all of basschats influences. Its a great place to be!
  12. Im loving the P Bass love! Great basses! My GAS for basses is up once my Lakkie gets here. But next year, 62 Reissue P or 75 Reissues J!
  13. Punk vs Metal...Punk wins In all seriousness, the Ampegs seem to be more warm and vintage like. Thats the ones I tried anyway. You might start to really like it! I used to love a really over the top bright sound, but Ive realised it sometimes stops it sounded bassy enough. I still occasionally do it mind. I reckon boost the mids. Most metal bands ive heard suck all the mids....all the time. If the guitars have mids decreased, have a little boost on your mids.
  14. Talkbass have very good reviews of the New York 121. Such a small and light cab! Pretty incredible engineering to be fair. Id love one! Or two!
  15. Plug in P or J, play. Thats usually it. I dont like having lots of average options and a few good ones. I just like a few REALLY good tones. Sometimes a bit more picky when it comes to the Stingrays...but I usually have a little bass boost...mids slight boost, treble left flat.
  16. Im pretty similar....so im quitting the rather dull job, the band (I love the chaps I play with as they are all old friends, but Ive moved on) and moving to London. I hate coming home from work and thinking 'is this it?' after studying for a degree for 3 years and a post grad for 2. My advice, make plans....move to a bigger more exciting place. I have to..I have no choice.
  17. Appauling!
  18. [quote name='Spoombung' post='632793' date='Oct 21 2009, 08:43 PM']That's the only Precision I ever heard that sounds like that. I always thought it sounded more like a Rickenbacker, ala Chris Squire. Anyway, it's an awesome, rough sound.[/quote] I can definitely get that kinda sound with a low action, fresh roundwounds, fairly heavy pick, played closer to the bridge. I managed it a solid state Trace but without the grit, and the Orange definitely does it. Its all in le strings/technique and an EQ fiddle I tell thee....I love a phat P Bass sound, but I also love a cutting dirty P bass sound.
  19. I have to say if it sounds like a MM, thats brilliant. As much as I steer clear usually from onboard active/preamps as im a passive guy normally, the MM Stingray EQ is so bloody good. Powerful, easy, and reliable. Hope you are still enjoying it
  20. That looks amazing! Im really impressed. The reddish tort was the only thing I never was 100% keen on, so that has made the bass look perfect! Yep..Olympic White or Sunburst are officially my favourite colours. Oly White on a P just WORKS... Re: Clarkys now ex-P, here she blows....but still with the Fender Black guard. Im keeping it on until i fancy a change back to the stock Tort, which Clarky has looked after and kept it mint. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=56307"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=56307[/url] I think an Oly White P Bass bash in London is in order. Clarky's P5, my P4 and Nigel's P4
  21. Looks great....wish I could hear it!!!!
  22. [quote name='iamapirate' post='630818' date='Oct 19 2009, 09:41 PM']top bloke! Bought a delay from him - excellent communication, was packaged safely and wel - item as described (i.e. in pristine condition!). Smoothest transaction I've had. Oh yeah and he got it to me ugently and cared that it would get here in time! top bloke. -Clam[/quote] Thanks! Im glad we missed the postal strike!
  23. This is why I love Precisions!
  24. Hi Nigel Im truely disappointed that they didnt just lose their 'cost' on this item and refund you. I actually think they have sold you a faulty item, and I would contact Fender UK asap. They have an email address on their website. Make sure you tell them who sold you it for a start, and then say you want something doing about it. I mean, whats £20-30 for a business compared to 7000 ppl on here never going back to them. Disgusting. I am currently in dispute over something at the moment and Im hoping it gets resolved, otherwise I will be doing the same and putting it on here. I dont think its fair for the customer to lose out of faulty goods....EVER! Cheers
