    I am, when it come to setting up a stringed instrument, clueless. I have tried myself and I am getting it wrong, so wrong. I like hands on learning. I could take my instruments to a shop and have some spotty youth do it for me for 30 quid. But I am sure even I could do a better job. Is there anybody out there in the area who would be kind enough set up my bass for me and show me what they are doing? Is it a big ask? Hope someone can help me out? Cheers

    I have a Digitech GNX 3 for sale. Comes with power supply, box, CD's, documents and a 128mb memory card (the biggest it will take) for the 8 track. Plenty of bass effects and modelling. Damn fine piece of kit in very good condition. Can be flashed and converted into a BNX 3 (bass version) so I have read. £110 posted or collection from North East £100. http://www.digitech.com/en-US/products/gnx3

    The 18v circuit on my Peavey Cirrus makes one hell of difference! I never have it passed half way. If I find I am getting lost in the noise, it does help, even turning it up 5.

    My band mates are ace. Though I am sick of hearing our drummer going "your hair is great" and then turning up with my hair the following week!

    [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]This is my Spector Legend 6 Classic. I bought this bass new in 2008 and it has never been gigged, only used for practice and mostly in the home. [/color] [color=#000000]She is gorgeous in looks and sound. The Stuart Spector Design EMG pickups coupled with the Tone Pump Jr. pre amp make for a very sweet sound indeed.[/color] [color=#000000]Bass Player Magazine rated this as THE best 6 string bass available for under $1,100.[/color] [color=#000000]Condition wise, she is in like new condition, aside from one crack in the finish, coming from the jack round to the bass tone knob (It can be seen in a photo). [/color] [color=#000000]This is purely cosmetic and has no effect on the playability and tone of the bass.[/color] [color=#000000]Included in the sale is a Warwick Rockcase (ABS plastic hard case, picture included.)[/color] [color=#000000]I prefer local pickup, but I will post in the hard case for added protection via courier for £30. This price reflects Parcel Forces' Enhanced compensation to cover the value of the bass.[/color] [color=#000000]£350 [/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000] [/color][/font][/size]

    Hi I am thinking of selling my Spector legend classic 6, but I can't find a guide/rule book in the for sale section. Am I to presume there aren't any rules? cheers

    Thanks Fortunately, i live near the soundslive shop in newcastle and they have been very helpful, recomending ashdown and hartke. I have seen the Marshall MB 4x10 combo and I have been told good things about it and to ingore outdated opinions on marshall bass amplification. I am going to be trying out a 1x15 ashdown evo II and the marshall 4x10. i just have to decide which will be right for me. The ashdown provides a wopping 300watt and for the money, carn't find a better 1x15. Although it's a 15, so i expecting whilst gigging, that my higher note swill be drowned out by the guitar. Which is where the 10's would come in handy. we shall have to see

    My Carlsbro combo is almost dead and no longer suitable for requirements. So I need new amplification. I have recently bought a spector legend 6 string and I was wondering if 6 strings would prefer a particular setup, given their tonal range? I need the setup for gigging, something with wheels, and something big 4x10. I hear good things about hartke, but they seem rather cheap, what do people think? My budget is around 400 quid. Cheers

    I really want that 6 stringer. Never bought anything from the mainland, I am sure there is no issues there? No tax, given its EU?

    all very interesting opinions. thanks. I am looking into passive pups, I keep hearing they are they way to go. Interesting points from gilmour, I have no trouble with sustain at the moment and that's with the regular 4 strings at drop G. Bare in mind that the music we are creating is doom and very sludgy doom for that matter. Clarity and punch is far from what I am after I am noticing only minor rapping of the frets and certainly not on the pups. Bah, this is far too complicated. we could just tune to c# and stop making things difficult.
  19. jaydentaku
    hmm, it is a short scale yes. I think the idea is to get a new bass chappies. I am looking at the Ibanez SRX305...

    interesting stuff chaps. Hamster, if you take a listen to some Grand Magus and Celtic Frost you will understand the need for such a drop. Its working fine with the e string actually for recording at least. it does get annoying after a while though.

    Hello everybody peeps Need some advice on pickups. I have a four string dearmond jet star. It’s a decent bass and I don’t really see the need to replace it. But I need a different sound from it. I am in a doom band and as some of you may know, it generally requires a heafty bass sound. We have detuned our strings to ‘drop G’ and I want my setup to match this. Currently my strings are ‘normal’ for a four string, but I am going to buy a set (heavy gauge, given the rattle) for a five string and use them in what I assume to be an obvious combination. The dearmond has two single coil pickups and they just aren’t given the sound I want. I have looked emg’s and their MMCS’s and MMTW’s seem to be the way forward for “thunderous” bass. The tw, giving the option of switching between single and double coil, this maybe the more versatile option. I intend to replace only one (at the bridge). Is there a better pickup out there for the job? Or a better setup? Maybe I should just buy a new bass? God knows how much fitting would cost, should I bottle and decide to get somebody to do it. Your thoughts please?

    Ha, would you belive, she is keen to splash the cash after hearing what we recorded last night.

    Yo ho!

    Hi my name is Jay, i live in Newcastle. I have been playing guitar for 17 years now and bass for 11. Strings generally for the last 20 years. I am classically trained in guitar and played professionally for some years. I have no formal tutoring in electric guitar/bass as such, I am ropy when it comes to technique and any term that isn’t in Italian, I most likely will have trouble with. Anyhow, I have recently co created a band (which will be my third) with a mate. We are intending to play the most thunderous and awesome ‘Doom’ and so far its sounding excellent (very Celtic Frost). He is very accomplished and is a member of various projects, most of which are signed. He does all of the production work himself and his skills are amazing. As you can imagine, I am feeling a little out of my dept and I have joined here to get to grips with bass speak and see what the craic is. I currently have a Dearmond Jet star which is far too jazzy for doom and as such I am off to find the thread about pickups…..
