I've been in bands who wouldn't have been able to do 3 songs in 14 days :-(

And regarding the toilet?

I think there is psychology involved. At some point the size of an audience rather than being a number of individuals, becomes one audience. As you are then dealing with one entity, it can be easier psychologically to deal with.

14 songs in 3 days? Impressive [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='bootsy666' timestamp='1431127270' post='2768158'] Well.... The speakers are in and wired up, and I have to say it's possibley the best and lousiest cab I've ever heard! I can't hear any phase issues what's so ever. Is a little on the heavy side now tho haha. I played it through it for 2 hours straight with drums and guitar and it just sounded like a good cab.

Attitude limited 3. Just shy of £2,500.00 at GAK. [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/yamaha-attitude-limited-3/44568?gclid=CPDDkfvussUCFQgOwwodx00A2Q"]http://www.gak.co.uk...CFQgOwwodx00A2Q[/url]

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1431013706' post='2766931'] The E-MU Shortboard only has a 12dB/octave lowpass filter. Wouldn't this miss out some of the 24dB/octave filter bass sounds. The Mini-Brute and Mini-Nova have far more flexible filtering than the shortboard, I think. [/quote] But again it's adding gear to what needs to be taken to a gig. Plus the extra sound checking issues.

I've never been able to 'tame' a Mutron. I'm getting close with a flanger but can't stop the wah type decay.

"Brand name: Bass"

Mastering can be the difference between your album sound like a demo or a release quality product.

I've got a Dementor VTBP -201S. Well, a modelled one on my Digitech BP 355 [size=4] [/size]

Musicians union members have ooodles of free PLI.

I would like to think a bass guitar is just a tool to do a job. They are made to be be played so I play them. However my custom Shuker is the best bass in the world and my Hamer Blitz is a keeper [size=4] [/size]

I ha IMO[size=4][quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1430380211' post='2760740'][/size] I'd be programming music on a computer [/quote] I've got a Yamaha QY 70. Awesome bit of kit, and perfect for when you can not play.

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1430323106' post='2760310'] Ed Friedland (aka The Bass Whisperer) just reviewed the new DR Pure Blues and he talked about "The Fried Chicken test" :-D [/quote] That was Jaco' s trick, chicken fat. Must have been a bit smelly on stage?

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1430156657' post='2758493'] Rust should not be a problem after six months, although it could be due to the acid in your sweat. Perhaps you should consider putting a sachet of silica gel in your guitar case. The only other thing you can do, besides wiping down the strings after each practice, is to wash your hands before playing. [/quote] Yep definitely this.

Post pics anyway. It'll be like Bullseye 'look at what you could have won'

Pics would help. Are they noticeable or in a place a regularly gigged bass would have them? Autocorrect changed gigged to hugged lol.

Some useful advice, thanks!

A few years ago I got a call from a shop I had a Trace combo on sale with. It was priced for a quick sale at £250 but they had a guy in offering £200. So I told them "tell him he can have it now for £300. It's already a bargain at £250 so if he can take the p1ss so can I".

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1429610852' post='2753074'] I'm not sure the audience want to see me play for three minutes and then spend two hours editing it in Pro Tools... [/quote] I don't think anyone in a studio would want to see me jumping up and down, punching the air and shouting 'f#ck yeah!'
