[quote name='ped' post='710478' date='Jan 12 2010, 07:56 PM']I think the Vbass could cop that sound -in fact one of the presets sounds similar. Unfortunately that will requite a bit of woodwork or some rather heavy modification to work on your lovely little bass! ped[/quote] and definitely not the budget route! I had the guitar version when it first came out - awesome in the studio. I'll take another look at the bass one when I can go wireless with it.

They don't look to have contouring? The big problem with my old SUB was it got a bit painful a couple of songs into a gig when the edge started digging into my arm.

cool. I'm in, or would be if the link was working

which version of 'Tailz? Kim and Jay or Steevi's lot?

never played one so can't comment on the sound, but they look sweet. The bridge doesn't look like it has much scope for adjustment though?

[quote name='thepurpleblob' post='711139' date='Jan 13 2010, 11:59 AM']I was going to say. You can get a cheapo multimeter out of B&Q or Maplins for a fiver. As long as you are aware that [color="#FF0000"]an off-load battery should show well over it's nominal voltage[/color]. That is a 9V battery actually reading 9V is flat [/quote] could you explain that a bit more? ta.

I was hoping to avoid the seperate pedals route. If the Line 6 FM-4 can do it, do you reckon the Pod Live would be able to too?

The bass synth sound I'm after is like on here. You can here it better during the breakdown at 2min 18sec. Can you get this sound from the Line 6 floor Pod, Boss ME-50, OR Zoom B2.1U? If the budget option doesn't work what will? cheers

The stuff with Steve Vai is interesting on Album, (or) Compact Disc, (or) Cassette.

[quote name='Clarky' post='707392' date='Jan 10 2010, 09:47 AM']A bit like the sort of thing Def Leppard would have played in the big hair days[/quote] which is why I like it, but then again I've got a zebra skin pattern Hamer Blitz that I love [quote name='garethox' post='707809' date='Jan 10 2010, 04:16 PM']he is the bassist in one of the biggest bands in the world so does he want to be known as playing an 'Entwistle bass'? The answer was 'No' by the look of it, so he musta had Warwick rustle up his own version but with a 'nod' to John.[/quote] Funny how this only applies to bassists. I don't think any guitarists have been bothered about been known as playing Lester William Polsfuss's signature model Gibson? Re. Adam's bass playing, how many times have we seen threads and posts bemoaning bass pyrotechnics and technical virtuosity, and stating a preference for solid playing and songs? Here we have a bass player who does that, he does the perfect job for the band he is in and the songs he plays.

[quote name='Bassman68' post='706551' date='Jan 9 2010, 01:46 PM']Reminds me of some of those old Guild basses.[/quote] is what I was gonna say - the B301 and B302. I had a black vintage B301 and it was ACAF so I voted cool would prefer a different headstock though, or headless - neckdive was a problem.

[quote name='Dom in Somerset' post='706106' date='Jan 8 2010, 11:39 PM']I play with a drummer who has also played with Nick Turner's Space Ritual - that puts me on the extreme outer edge of the Hawkwind family tree. sort of.[/quote] Nick Turner was my saxophone teacher in the late 80´s. Not that one ^^^^ but he did used to get Hawkwind fans turning up to his gigs by mistake.

+ me. In every original material band I´ve played bass in, I have created or adapted bass lines which have ususally raised the music a couple of notches, as they were created to suit the song. - me. Playing ridiculously fast for no apparent reason through lots of distortion with piched harmonics makes me far happier than it should.

i´m in will add to the list when it´s up.

still not missing it.

[quote name='OldGit' post='694597' date='Dec 28 2009, 12:33 AM']You did mate! Gareth gave us Hartke strings and pedal for the raffle or teh South Wales Bass Bash. Thanks again![/quote] and for the SE Bash. I´m happily using my Hartke strings.

i post this in every thread about Squarepusher, but I own one of his old combo´s that he gigged at the Albert Hall it´s been tweaked and customised by Mike Walsh of Zoot, who is Sqarepusher´s go-to-guy. There is stuff from when he was on The Culture Show somewhere on Youtube which is worth watching, and more musically accessible.
