Protium

I got a 5m roll of both sides from eBay for about £7 but it was ages ago and I can't find the seller.

Took up bass coz I didn't have the space for drums. Turns out all my bass gear probably occupies more space than a drum kit now anyway

In other news: I'm playing there tonight

I've had a beer. :blush:[/quote] Fair enough, I was laughing at the fact he changed his listing from sterling to standard pickup

[quote name='bassatnight' post='303043' date='Oct 9 2008, 02:32 PM']Folks, I am toying with forking out around the £250 mark for either a Squire Modified Jazz or the Precision version, can anyone shed any light on their plus and minus points? or should I stick nother hundred on and go for a Fender Standard Series model? Money is a bit tight at present. Ta, Steve.[/quote] I had the jazz and it was really nice. Looks good, low action, easy to play, sounds good On sale here for £200: [url="http://www.reidys.com/index.pl?submit=View_PLU&PLU=5134"]http://www.reidys.com/index.pl?submit=View_PLU&PLU=5134[/url] Was fairly heavy though and I replaced the bridge because the stock one is like a standard Fender and not particularly substantial.

Road trip!

You can use the SansAmp Bass Driver before a power amp too.

£300-400 tops, it'd have to be something very special to go above that. Spend more money on amplification Any bass can sound awesome through a great amp and any bass *will* sound awful through a rubbish one.

Ask venue if you can pick it up next day?

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='299733' date='Oct 5 2008, 08:12 AM']I seem to recall reading something on TB about Phantom Power frying the DI on 'some' amps. I certainly had no problem up till I read that and wouldn't have even been aware of it if I'd not read that but were I to change my amp (I know this one works OK ) I'd consider buying a small DI box. Take the DI from the amp into the DI box and from there to the desk, that way if there is a problem your amp doesn't suffer. Alternatively as has been suggested use an unbalanced line out or effects send from your amp to the desk.[/quote] Or a DI box which runs on phantom power

[quote name='ped' post='299519' date='Oct 4 2008, 06:25 PM']Growly and aggressive to me is achieved with low action and digging in, a bit of clank, through a loud but clean amplifier. Distorted bass, to me, doesn't sound aggressive - it has lost its aggressiveness by being effected. Real aggressive tone is tone where you can hear the digging in, the energy.[/quote] +1, I don't usually use any distortion even though people have asked what pedals I use live

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='298721' date='Oct 3 2008, 04:45 PM']I knew this would come up. It was a sp error ok. But (as Moss would say) prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them along with this slice of humble pie, that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark egg on your face. Strictly speaking, you open it up and I think you'll find there's 2 pups my friend. [/quote] Awesome quote but aimed at me?

[quote name='rjb' post='298799' date='Oct 3 2008, 06:07 PM']I'm sure everyone has met someone like this:- + All the gear. - No idea. ^_^[/quote] Yeah, a band with the initials ZC

Can't complain... Basswise can't ask for more, decent amp with a PROPER EQ, selection of pedals
