    I bought one of those cheap copies, will compare it to the Behringer when it arrives. Was about £13 with tax. Realised the other day the only spare we don't carry is the IEM belt pack so may come in handy. Looks like the belt clip part is removable (tool free thumb screw) and there's a proper battery compartment behind it instead of the slide out shell on the Behringer. Might actually prefer that tbh as the batteries can't become dislodged and the belt clip won't move around like on the Behringer..

    Tiny bass?

    lemmywinks replied to a topic in Bass Guitars

    The Track IV looks a lot nicer IMO, some of the prices are mental though.

    Just tag @Bassassin to save time! Looks like someone has already replaced the bendy bridge in the first pic.

    Eggy Wets is the one I think

    Will grab one of those as a spare and report back!

    I high pass our keys player, band sounds much better for it. We don't do much low synthy stuff where I can take a back seat though. Usually kick rolls off around 77hz, bass is high passed around there and keys are high passed in the mid bass range so we all get a slice without interference. None of them know about this though, nor are they interested in learning about it! May be mistaken but you play in the Manfred Mann band don't you? How does your sound guy do things?

    Take charge of the PA and high pass the keys!

    Then you get stuck in the loop of drummer's deteriorating hearing and increasingly loud kits.

    When drummers find a snare that is louder than their current ones they have to buy it, even if they're too loud in the first place. It's just the natural order of things.

    Can't be that hard to read the manual or website before the camera starts recording though, most other reviewers manage it and even an idiot like me can get a vague idea if a preamp will work for me based on the spec sheet. Like I said they're adverts first and foremost and will be focusing on telling you how great the product is, even from that perspective it seems like a missed opportunity as some of the things they don't mention or demonstrate might be a selling point for a lot of people.

    Can't remember which one but I'm sure I watched an Andertons bass video where they hadn't even bothered to learn what the preamp controls do and were sat there guessing on camera. Just seemed really weird! There's much better resources out there if you want to get a brief understanding of a product and aren't able to try it out in person, realistically expecting reliable information from a source which is also trying to sell you the thing isn't a great idea anyway.

    Cheapest option might be to grab one of the German Streamer Standards (with the one piece bridge) and swap the necks if they're compatible, usually around £300-£400. Like this: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/8135823993163258/

    The last thing I want to see in a demo video is chops or fancy soloing, just demonstrating the range of tones available is fine. I want to know how good the bass is, not the person playing it. Although Andertons videos are just adverts so I guess they can do what they want really.

    The danger here is when they find out you have a box of 9v batteries, you'll need some sort of stick (preferably on fire) to keep inquisitive hands away.

    I thought it was those two that got convicted of trying to forcibly undress an audience member whereas Paedis was charged for rubbing his gentals on a woman's face? Can't keep track of it, that's before we get into Paedis' preference for minors.

    I thought he was convicted when he rubbed his junk on that woman's face?

    Loved them in my youth, Flea and Chad Smith especially. Just some magic there, particularly on BSSM and OHM. Can't stand Anthony Paedis though, guy needs to get in the bin.

    If you allow yourself to be the band dad once you will always be the band dad. Keys player - "I've forgotten my iPad" Me - "Well just download the Behringer app for your phone then." Keys player - "Which one is it?" Me - "I have no idea, I don't use it" He finally downloads one... Keys player - "How do I use this?" Me - "I have no idea, I don't use it" Keys player - "Well that's not very helpful, is it?" All this while I'm setting the PA up and he has already got a pint in his hand.

    Tone sock

    lemmywinks replied to Clarky's topic in Bass Guitars

    All socks have a hole in, you'd never be able to get your feet in otherwise.

    I don't mean to alarm you but that bass has a headstock!

    Budget acoustic instruments are usually built very heavily, not what vintage connoisseurs are looking for but they have the advantage of not folding up on themselves after a few decades. A mate of mine has an ancient Columbus 12 string Gibson copy which hasn't needed any fettling in the 20+ years he's owned it, has always had a low action and sounds lovely despite being built like a tank. He paid around £60 for it (with case) back when it was hideously uncool to play those types of brands. Around the same time I passed up on an Aria SJ200 copy, really regret not buying that as they've put on some serious value!

    Tinfoil, white vinegar and the aforementioned lithium grease will get them up and running, realistically a little coating of any sort of grease should be fine, even basic machine grease, bike chain lube, vaseline etc. Can most likely refurb those with stuff you have lying around the house. Sweet barn btw!

    Hope they do an unlined version, they look and sound excellent.
  24. lemmywinks
    Crazy price for a rig of that standard.

    Basically new as only bought this recently, it's been out of the house once to take my amp (TC BH800) to rehearsals and have since found a different bag that fits my amp perfectly as this was a little big. I believe these are a very good fit for regular sized micro amps like the MarkBass LM etc, it's essentially the same as the Gator 1212 in terms of size and quality, nice padding with a spacious front pocket for cables and a smaller accessory pocket. As can be seen it's just a shade over 30cm/12" in width and length, rulers not included in sale although it does come with a strap! Looking for £20 delivered, these are around £35 new.
