Wu-Tang Clan - Shame on a Nigga Tune.

Hahaha oh I am indeed a slave to the GAS. Goes for bikes too, it's an expensive and incurable disorder

Thanks for the replies, can always rely on BC for good honest advice - as for the DB112 I know, I know it's not THAT bad Some interesting points, I will check out the Epifani, line6 and Trace options. Just replacing the cab is something that didn't occur to me really for some reason

Hi there, So I'm thinking of selling on my beloved Markbass LMII and Aguilar rig...long story short: don't have a job any more, going back to uni, could use some cash and something a little more portable (ok so the LMII is fine but the cab weighs a ton). I've been out of the game for a while when it comes to bass gear so I could use some advice on what to look at for in a good combo that I could use for regular practice and the odd jam sesh (usually with a drummer and guitarist). I would be willing to spend up to £300. Any help would be mucho appreciated! Also, keep an eye on the for sale threads

I am a bass geek & fanatic,I admit - and I have had some 'bass clef' badges made in the style of the normal car manufacturer badge as a replacement on my motor. A group of 'musicians' were lurking around the back of my car, when one was heard uttering, "Why has that guy got a hearing aid symbol on the back of his car?" I can't find an emoticon with a big enough roll of the eyes to post![/quote] HAHAHA I'm musically retarded when it comes to theory (I'm seriously considering learning Piano because my lack of knowledge frustrates me) but even I know a bass clef when I see one.

Where wounld the best place to get yer mits on one of these be? I am seriously, seriously tempted. I always missed the bridge mutes on the modern style rays...*GAS*

[quote name='absolutpepper' post='795155' date='Apr 3 2010, 05:53 PM']Agree +10000. I swear by the ol' Grolsh washers and use them on all my basses (except my fretless which has Schallers on). Now if I can convince Erdinger to do a swingtop beer with washers then my life will be complete [/quote] All beer should be swingtop! Utter genius invention tbh.

Grolsch washers! Seriously, they kick ass and they come with a free bottle of beer!

Also you should probably give him fair warning, see if he can't see his way to being a bit more time/commitment concious.

It is good for a browse, this is true.

Denmark St is the biggest collection of rip off merchants in the UK, don't bother

[quote name='Musicman20' post='778152' date='Mar 18 2010, 12:08 AM']Personally? Lm3 all the way. I love the warmth and low end from mark bass amps.[/quote] Seconded, the Genz's are superb too but a bit more Hi-fi. The MarkBass have a warmth to them I really like. It's all subjective, of course mind. Your best bet is to try them both yourself!

Jaysus, almost ashamed to "show off" my rig in here... See below...

Haha I was just wondering if they'd get pissy if I buggered off like a month after buying it here. Cool. Wonder if they'd be pissy about me going back to uni (ie becoming unemployed, though with money saved) too...meh. It's tempting but then sometimes I wonder if it's better just to go for it and pay upfront.

What about someone who normally lives in scotland but is currently living in London for 5/6 months working I wonder...

I used to have this exact set up, sounded tasty. That is all

Bah I really want one of these...for obvious reasons.
