RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Okay, I'm beginning to get more tidy in the living room. Last month,I purchased a TV stand at long last. I managed to put my hi fi amp into one of the shelves , and am currently playing my TV through that and through a pair of bookshelf speakers. As we all know , technology is hurtling forward in the audio/visual world. I was wondering for tidyness, is it worth ditching the bookshelf speakers and getting a soundbar instead? What are your thoughts on this ?

Enjoy.. And welcome to the club

Years ago, I used to rehearse in new cross. Cant bl@@dy remember the name of it. It was opposite Tescos iirc. Failing that, I would take it to Denmark street. Hope that helps .

If you can find a Vester ( not curry), try one. Great basses& not pricey

Are you using studio monitors ?

[quote name='bedrovelse' timestamp='1374220936' post='2146495'] Hi Guys. I'm pretty new to this recording game. Here's what I've got going at the moment. Instrument -> Behringer USB Guitar Link -> Garageband. Are you using studio monitors? The quality of the recording is not that great and the bass tone (or lack of) is not so good, and I want to dabble into making some music. Instrumental style, with keys, drums. (Drums from samples or made using the software) I'm also looking at maybe sacking Garageband and using Reaper, as I've heard good things on BC. What can I use to replace my Behringer? As I just don't feel it's working. Any information on best cause of action, will be appreciated. Thanks. If I've missed something you need to know, let me know. [/quote]

Been and done outdoor gigs. Sound in the majority is crap. I notice tho' that the punters are not treated as hostile as in the past. Now they are mote pleasant. There are only 3 headlining bands I would see outdoors (and it must be Twickenham a 20 min walk down yhe road )Rammstein, Jean michel Jarre and Metallica. With the 1 st 2 , you are guaranteed a spectacular show. Etc.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1373564227' post='2139143'] Best bass??..probably the one you're after at the moment and can't find...isn't that how GAS works?? [/quote] Wotz gasworks? Hoo makes dem. snot liike a fendah or summit

[quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1373838898' post='2142210'] Thanks for that. Have to be iPlayer tomorrow though. [/quote] + 1

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1373713803' post='2140848'] im very happy with my Aguilar amp and cab. got to be honest its the only amp set ive ever had, so not a huge amount of knowledge when it comes to amplification. [/quote] You have Aguilar ?? Me too. Keep that . No changes needed

[quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1373707472' post='2140732'] I'm not sure why anyone would want a collection of basses that all sound pretty much the same. The best way for me to get a classic Fender sound is with an unmodified Fender. Then I've got Status Graphite, long scale, active 5 string monsters that cover pretty much all the modern sounds I could ever want. Very different instruments, but that's the point. [/quote] Same as you Rich. All my basses are different

Cool! I would consider trying out a few basses at a Bass Guitar show (GAS should follow)!. What about your amp? Have you got a 'keeper'?

Everything goes in metal( except the violin bass)

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1373554836' post='2139005'] My band decided to do a gig on the Royal Mile but we didn't do it by halfs. We hired a portable generator for the amps and our drummer brought his full kit. After a couple of tunes things were going great and we'd attracted a huge crowd, until out of the corner of my eye I spied a gentleman in a wig and a dress gesticulating wildly, with policeman in tow. What we hadn't realised, is that we had set up outside The Scottish High Court and the judge (it seemed) was put off by hearing rock loud music while he was sentencing murderers. Spoilsport! [/quote] Brilliant ! Nearly choked on the cafe. Btw; outdoors the sound is. Mainly crap anyway. I think maplins do something.(can't remember now) I've often wanted to busk( even for no cash), but I'm band less and to scared to go solo

Sounds brilliant! Glad it went well;)

Hope he gets well soon. A good drummer makes all the difference in a band. Glad you enjoyed the gig tho' . Somethingnto look forward to in the future;)

Yeah, how was it ?

More info needed ; is it a house or a flat? How many rooms? Is your room upstairs or downstairs? Have you considered a dean pace bass?

It's a guitar. No need to rush. Enjoy your birthday;)

Worrie meen iz , da bests for toooon! Na Dissin like...

It's hard enough carrying the shopping h, let alone learn am instrument. Having said that, I'd probably play virtually (iPhone /pad)

I thought this was a question for the ladies?? (Altho' I had a quick look) Off to confused.com
