But of course..... Though I look look I'm floating an air biscuit here...

I was trying to google it so I could see what it looks like...... I got this

[quote name='Johnston' post='1045954' date='Dec 3 2010, 07:51 AM']I had to leave quick sharpish from one yesterday. The DiL was with us and 1 I don't think he liked having to be wedged in the corner of the shop to see the basses and 2 he's a bit old school and doesn't appreciate blokes with weird hair doo's and make up We were just glad the usual shop assistant wasn't wearing the pink make up this time.[/quote]

[quote name='citizenerased' post='1045956' date='Dec 3 2010, 07:56 AM']Agree with comments on SYB-5, it's virtually unusable in a live scenario, more of a "gimmick" box. For Plug-in I used a combination of octave and flanger with a bit of "dirt" on my Korg AX3000B - got pretty close.[/quote] The SYB-3 was far superior IMO.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='1045914' date='Dec 3 2010, 02:05 AM']I do wonder how many people are actually using slap for anything, I imagine it's a very small proportion of us. I do sometimes use it for bashing out a beat - nothing intricate or funky but just a "2 Tribes" type of approach - but it's really rare and I don't think I'd record like that, I'd probably use a synth instead.[/quote] One of my bands plays Disco/Funk..... utter slapfest for bass but because of the type of music it is..... it doesn't detract from the songs. I think the problem with slap is that there are too many people doing it badly. Anyway for a bit of self promotion

a midi what?

Mark King using TC amp and cabs....... plenty of top end there....

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1044376' date='Dec 1 2010, 09:40 PM']As per title really, just saw someone else (who uses quite an extravagant recording set-up to be fair ) say that with a new engineer they probably won't be able to use it? What do you do when a sound engineer says no? It's happened to me a couple of times, I play a 'wick through a GK, so it's a pretty distinctive sounding set-up, the last couple of times I've been in the studio the engineer's DI'd me with a Sansamp and sent a link through to the amp (just on distortion last time) then mic'd the cab. I trust that he's going to get a brilliant sound so I haven't made too much of a fuss (though I have made a point of telling him I wasn't too impressed) but it's annoying that instead of sounding like my rig (especially when I'm a GK endorsee), it's just another Sansamp DI'd tone. The worst part is that he wasn't even prepared to try my rig (I had to put my foot down to get it on the recording at all), it just struck me as lazy because he wanted me to just plug into the DI on whatever settings he always uses and get it done.[/quote] If you were paying for this recording...... I'd tell him to faaack right off....

Mark King will be opening the show and performing live.

I've got a couple of [b][url="http://www.k-array.net/downloads/karray/datasheet/KA7_77_data_B.pdf"]these[/url][/b] but again not cheap..... 700W bridged into 8 ohm and weighs 2.6Kg

I've been using the TC Electronic Polytune App on iPhone and it's spot on..... very useful

[quote name='Dusty' post='1040707' date='Nov 29 2010, 05:33 AM']Have you tried the Musicians Union ?[/quote] + 1 for the MU.

More fodder for the Disco band.... Jive Talking - Bee Gee's Canned Heat - Jamiroquai Bad Girls - Donna Summer

That's the way love goes or Canned heat by Jamiroquai......

Mine only go back to Jun 12 2007..... but I posted far earlier than that....??

Indeed.... he used TC Electronic RH450 bass amp as well as two RS410 cabinets

K&M or the Beyer badged version... GST 400 or GST 500 (extended boom) are what most Toursound companies use as they are fairly indestructible and you can buy all spare parts too.

[quote name='essexbasscat' post='1013541' date='Nov 5 2010, 05:46 PM']Looking forward to hearing those Status basses and hearing the way you play them. Any gigs in Essex soon ? cheers T[/quote] I'll bring what I can.... though the Black Beauty looks as though it may be with a new owner by then..... :0(

Depends on the gig.... when we do larger weddings and corporates then definitely bring the Sound Engineer along as you do not want to be seen as amateur in those functions.

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='1034318' date='Nov 23 2010, 08:00 PM']My thoughts exactly. My friend runs a music shop and is forever setting up badly set up guitars from Argos that customers have brought in. The danger longer term is that the little shops like his will get pushed out of business. Then of course everyone will moan when they can't get strings on a Saturday afternoon pre-gig.[/quote] But it's keeping him in business with ongoing repair work..... ;o)

[quote name='Lysdexia' post='1033935' date='Nov 23 2010, 02:36 PM']And branding adopts that certain something over years of producing highly desirable product.[/quote] Absolutely....... how do you think I've done so well
