[quote name='Mikey R' post='1134850' date='Feb 20 2011, 09:31 PM']Where do you get hold of the strings for these? Are they in regular music shops?[/quote] Purple Turtle music for the 4 string set. I am nit sure if they stock the B. Roadtoad from the US for the B

I have been messing with it for chunks of the day and it is pretty intuative and really quick. Sounds good and really easy to balance levels etc etc. I think it could be the future.

Anyone using it for the filterage/distortion in their lives? It seems like an obvious thing to do if you already have the hardware.

1st Pretenders album. One of the truly great albums.

I bought this from whynot last week because I have to try everything that is out there - gotta catch em all - you know how it is. It is a great unit, you can programme it using free software from Markbass via USB, no other interfaces or stuff like that. The Super Synth has been an eye opener in terms of programability. Why am I selling if it is all that? I have a Korg G5 and an Octavius Squeezer which are scratching all my synth itches . The set up I have covers what I need, but if I did not have them I would keep a hold of the MB. I can do pics if you want, but it is as new.

I bet the Universal Audio sounds lovely with a bass. Sadly I cannot justify having it

I bought this off ebay in a fit of excitement. Do I need another Distortion in my life? No. It is as it came out of the box. I already have 2 distortion sources. Why would I want another. Yours for £40 all in. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180618116602&ssPageName=STRK:MEBOFFX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...STRK:MEBOFFX:IT[/url]

When you are in a pit and you go into a scene change and all the stage lights go off they TOTALLY rock.

I have one of these. I always pipe up when they come up for sale. It is hands down the most comfortable bass I have owned. It is light. The MTD neck is asymetric and totally lush. With the powerful EQ on board there is nothing that would touch this bass for another £500 franlky. These basses are totally bargainous. No. Really. -
There are so many options and I have so little clue. Is Watford valves the place to go? I fancy trying a 5751 in my Demeter.

As someone else said on here - no pain, no pain. That is good.

What I like about here is that the 2nd hand stuff has a reasonably stable price range. I can pick something up for a good price, try it out (the Markbass Super synth which arrived today) and if it is not my flavour then I can just toss it back in to the pool and someone else will take it. If you live in gear deserts then this is incredibly useful.

I'm glad the guitarist has earplugs, that's a lot of Marshalls!

[quote name='Phil Starr' post='1120944' date='Feb 9 2011, 08:25 AM']What is the volume of a bass uke like unamplified?[/quote] Realistically not enough for any group playing other than a gentle front room jam with a sensitive acoustic guitarist.

[quote name='leroybasslines' post='1120762' date='Feb 8 2011, 10:38 PM']Totally agree! That's why he's so in demand I guess...he really can polish a turd! [/quote] I believe that doing that is technically impossible, but Pino can certainly roll them in glitter

Bows are the nuttiest things in the world. It is a stick with hair, but a good one makes playing so much easier it is not true. A nice bow will make arco work a breeze. A cheap bow makes things beyond difficult. Bowing is the difficult part of playing the DB. The bows being discussed here are very cheap. You are looking at 4 figures for a nice bow and a minimum of 5 figures for a violin soloists bow. If is a totally different world.

Thanks Gareth, but I have a cheap and cheerful Ebay Carbon Graphite bow. Having played some REALLY nice bows in the past when I was doing the classical thing, I am aware that things could be easier when drawing sound out of the monster.

[quote name='giblett123' post='1117345' date='Feb 6 2011, 06:54 AM']Stunning, what do these things cost?[/quote] Don't ask, cos if I find out I will have to start saving. It looks like my Bolin, but better.

the news cordes Lambert: gut twin and gut twin '47
Owen replied to tiki613's topic in EUB and Double Bass
How do they bow? I have no experience of gut so cannot deal with gut comparisons. Thanks.
