I bought a Ds1 recently for a hard core £7 in mint condition.

Because I don't gig.

Osteopath sessions and regular exercise including core body exercises may reduce the back pain.

People like that are total waste of space. Daydreamers!

[quote name='Raymondo' timestamp='1501444064' post='3344722'] Mmmmm I think that's the point. I do not know how old you are but I am sixty and alongside all the "artists" That we all know and love...Beatles ,Stones ,led zeppelin...erm ...Maiden , er ...oh I don't know ..whomever you think is cool (groovy baby!) there has always been "pop" acts... that have been contrived to "make money". Indeed all the great acts "made money" when they could...it's what made the world go around. I have a friend who was a part of the original Black lace ..Agadoo and all that pap....He is a brilliant guitarist and musician that made a lot of people happy with his " pop"music .... You don't have to like it ...but hey ...somebody does...and that's the whole point of music...well I think so anyway. Enjoy your career...I have enjoyed mine and I genuinely wish you well. [/quote] I was around during 80s and probably the artists worked harder than they do nowadays. I see your point though.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1501442266' post='3344706'] That nowadays money-grabbing music industry, eh? It's such a recent phenomenon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BKt07B3A6U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdSmokR0Enk ...etc. [/quote] Milly vanily wasn't quite an artist...

I'm a Maiden fan but always liked Level 42. The music and singing is spot on. Something a modern pop band nowadays struggle in the nowadays money grabbing music industry.

How about some opera? https://youtu.be/t5jaRipA5_M

Following the recent thread about stolen gear from a venue what security measures have been taken to stop this happening at bass bash?. Surelylanyards will be worn by attendees...

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1500993944' post='3341579'] What are your guitarists doing with regards to matching the guitar sounds on the songs you are playing? [/quote] I own a Fender mustang which came with Fender Fuse software. The amp has many presets and when connected to laptop yiu can tweak the sound. Yiu can also download presets from community. I found a sound which I tweaked and it is very close to Somewhere in Time IM tone. There are thousands of variations. I'm still experimenting with Amplitube 4.

Rotos all day long for me. Flats on p bass, round on jazz bass.

I bought pick ups from Irongear for my project. I haven't tested them yet but I will let you know when I do.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1500933131' post='3341222'] Erm - it works! I'm not really an expert on routers - this one has done everything I've asked it to though. I think especaillay using the brushing guide you need bits with longish shanks - but that might be a common problem/issue I think that the depth lock sometimes vibrates slightly loose. I've no complaints.... except if I were in a position to ask again I would ask folk who know more if I would be better with something that does a 1/2inch shank cos it was a question I was asking when I was looking for bits. [/quote] Cheers mate. I suppose it is the quality of cutting bits that matters.

I see you're working with Bosh 1400 ace router. I'm thinking of getting one. How do you find it?

Right, the work progress so far. I marked up the position for floyd rose and now it needs routing out.I've decided on colour. Once done I'll post the final picture. https://1drv.ms/i/s!AnEgrPnQ1p8Ib7_nIY5SJwNFljY https://1drv.ms/i/s!AnEgrPnQ1p8Icm8otMeLqv8GN18

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1500752081' post='3340018'] I've got it. Very good. I'm using my Helix more these days but I'll never delete SVX. [/quote] How would rate SVX?

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1500740461' post='3339912'] A mate has this in his studio...you record the bass clean/dry and apply the effect during mix/mastering. You can't get decent results applying the VST during recording. It's a lot of fun, mixing heads/cabinets, mic options and positioning, but there is a [/quote] I record my guitars and bass with vst straight away so I get the feel of e.g. an overdrive.This way I know how much to mute the strings. The Swedish guy on You Tube plays it dry and clean first then applies plug ins. I find it odd. I recorded two bass lines for two different songs. The same vst settings but one song was with a j bass the other song with a p bass. They both sit nicely in the mix.

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1500733849' post='3339871'] May we know what the reason was for returning the guitar? [/quote] Faulty locking nut.

Nothing wrong buying online. I set it up to my likings. However, I recently purchased a guitar from one of the big boys shops and after 5 mins of setting it up I put it back in box and called then back asking for a replacement but eventually went for a refund. I'm not going to name them as they dealt with the matter professionally. This won't stop me from buyibg online.

I've always fancied big stage amps and cabs but never owned one. Well apart from a BW Peavey combo weighing a ton. I recently bought Amplitube4 and I am very impressed with it. The only downside is that to get full advantage of it you need to buy add ons from tgeir Custom shop. I am now thinking of getting Ampeg SVX plug in for my bass. I've seen good reviews on You Tube but would like some basschatters reviews uf anyone uses one. It would be used for home recording.

Good stuff. Sounds like local finests to me. Some thieving bastards probably lurk on this forum!

Basschat won`t allow me to attach more images?
