Nah, mine soon got bored of only 4 strings Then at this point we decided he was no good at "music", so he decided to play drums instead lol He has settled down now
-
Mine couldn't decide what style he wanted to play.

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1360157088' post='1965733'] On the contrary I think it make sense him being allowed to get his little jam/marmite/whatever covered little fingers on the frets that his dad [size=4][b]should[/b][/size] never have to use in real life [/quote] Fixed it for ya ;-)

Shame on you starting him at the wrong end of the neck ;-)

Band Diary Iphone App....Very very good
dave_bass5 replied to KennysFord's topic in General Discussion
Google and Hotmail for my band. Only two of us have iPhones, in fact only two of us have a phone that has a colour screen. -
Better Vintage than roadworn lol Well done Ian, and good moody photo to show you mean business.

Looks like we're getting the single pedal B3 after all!

[quote name='clauster' timestamp='1359995637' post='1963198'] I wish they did an Android app for that. [/quote] Yeah, or at least a Bass version. -
Great customer service - Sounds Live and Fender

We had a thread about SL on here recently. its wasn't pretty I must say this is more what i would expect from SL, ive always had good service from them. -

dave_bass5 replied to Dood's topic in Effects
This looks great, ill definitely be getting one. I dont like those big multi FX boxes (or rack units) as they dont fit in my gig bag, so this seems ideal for my very modest needs. I quite like the idea of the MS-100BT as well. -
Does anyone even look at the GIG page on Basschat?
dave_bass5 replied to Spoombung's topic in General Discussion
I do look in gigs occasionally but for the past few years I've been gigging most sat nights, and as I work during the week i am too lazy to travel too far to see a gig during the week plus I don't really like pubs. It funny but I really want to get in to gig photography, but so far done bugger all about it. I am planing on seeing Clarky's band this year, and I'd love to see others but I will only go if I like the music anyway. Not having transport also means I have to make more effort, and so I don't bother. Shame on me lol. -
[quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1359577808' post='1957024'] but the BBOT does the job as well as any other bridge. [/quote] When its not falling apart or ripping the side of your hand apart ;-)

Just to muddy the water a bit but it seems Tech 21 NYC have brought out a DI version of the VTBass. This could be quite an interesting box. I personally felt the VTBass MKI wasnt my thing but the newer versions have a bit more going for them, plus full DI output now. There is already a thread on here about it although i dont think its out over here yet.

PM replied to. Have a good holiday.

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1359382152' post='1953819'] Dave that is a very kind offer. Do you not use it? Could be a plan - try before I buy! I said I was a tightwad! [/quote] No, i replaced it with a BDDI a couple of years ago and leant it to someone on here. He didnt have a need for it but i told him to keep hold of it until we meet up, but that hasnt happened yet.. Hopefully he still has it.
-
[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1359381548' post='1953802'] Probably the first thing I will buy when I get back from holiday [/quote] If you want to try my BDI21 let me know. Another member has it at the moment but he isnt using it. I could arrange for him to post it to you.
-
Yeah, i saw that new interface.Nnot cheap though. I like Jamup, i have the full version with the bass pack, but i felt it to be a bit clumsy as far as playing along with tracks. I disagree about it being the best but its all subjective. For me having the Ashdown and Trace amps makes AmpKit the best. I started with Amplitube but never really got on with it (i use it on my PC though).

[quote name='dand666' timestamp='1359128813' post='1950354'] Thing is with the Line 6 mobile in, it has no AUX in and also doesn't integrate with itunes library. [/quote] If you are using software that runs in the back ground, like most of other amp sims then it should just be a case of using itunes in the normal way and playing along to it. I do this with GarageBand and Ampkit.

Bugger. Ive got GAS for the Hartke VXL Bass Attack now :-(. I think i might find it more useful than the Paradriver.

Derek Forbes - Funny Response on You Tube
dave_bass5 replied to bassatnight's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1359110792' post='1949948'] Doh! Yeah, that's the one. [/quote] Must admit that got me thinking as well. Funny thing is i always used to say to my guitarist "is the chord played right?". 10 years on, i still say it, and not just for that song lol. -
That how i like to use my iPad as well. I also have all my tracks stored on Itunes match so i have almost 20,000 tracks on tap :-)

[quote name='SlapbassSteve' timestamp='1357734492' post='1927375'] I've just bought a BDI-21 to spice up my Markbass rig's tone, sounds boss on it's own and the tube distortion is decent, however it seems to absolutely destroy the mids in a fashion I'd have loved when I was going through my bedroom bassist phase... looking forward to trying it in a band setting to see if I can keep the valve sound without loosing all the mids and promptly getting lost in the mix... [/quote] The secret with these boxes (BDI-21 and BDDI) is in the blend knob. Back it off a bit and you will get a bit more of the original tone coming though. You can also back both treble and bass knobs off together and this will allow the mids to come through a bit stronger. It took me at least a couple of years to finally find i could use my BD-21 with my MB heads. Then i progressed to a BDDI as it felt a bit more robust, plus i never used the presence knob. I think i actually prefer the tone from the BDI-21 over the real deal. I now have a Paradriver, as that does have the mid control, its more of an all round box rather than a SVT emulator, but i tend to keep it flat. The EQ on this thing is very powerful. Bobby, i too am very jealous. She has some very interesting songs and i'd love to have a reason to learn them. Hope it all goes well.

2013 Sterling by Musicman basses, inc a fretless Ray34CA
dave_bass5 replied to dave_bass5's topic in Bass Guitars
Yeah, i too was tempted by that. Lovely looking bass. If only i wasn't happy with what i have, although i suppose thats a good thing. -
2013 Sterling by Musicman basses, inc a fretless Ray34CA
dave_bass5 replied to dave_bass5's topic in Bass Guitars
Ive wanted a Ray34CA since they were first announced, in fact that's the only bass i do hanker after, its just a shame i cant afford one. Black and maple or Sunburst and maple would do me. Ive often thought about a SB14, for the thinner neck, but i think i like the tone of the Ray34 better (i had one of the original Ray34's). -
Just came across this (not literately of course:) on Facebook. Full list of whats in the pic. Left to right: Ray34CA-SVM Silver Metallic Ray34CAFL-VC Fretless in Vintage Cream Ray34CA-MG Mint Green Ray35-TWB Translucent White Blonde Ray34-BK Black Ray34-HB HoneyBurst Ray34-TWB Translucent White Blonde — with real music concepcion.

[quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1358889772' post='1946750'] This is bizarre. Bizarre, but pretty cool. [url="http://boingboing.net/2013/01/21/rems-losing-my-religion.html"]http://boingboing.ne...y-religion.html[/url] Someone took "Losing My Religion" and shifted it so its in a major key. I quite like it. [/quote] Very strange hearing it like that but i like it as well. Useless fact but ive met the guy that wrote that blog, we printed one of his books.
