RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

[quote name='Spartacus' post='544119' date='Jul 18 2009, 04:49 PM']Id forget the Ampeg cab if you want a slap rig. GK Neo 410/4 (the 4 ohms version) and Markbass LM250 would be my choice for a slap rig within your budget, from the stuff you listed above.[/quote] +1 also Eden Nemesis. For easy transportation ,I'd recommend one of those 'rock'n'roll combos(or whatever theyre called) from GK.(They have a built in trolley) You would need around 250-300 watts and with your budget it would be possible . Shame you're not in London,as I have Eden Nemesis 250 watt combo...which rawks!

Lovin' all these short scales. I have 2 headless basses which I am so used to. Before I got my Telebass, I was gonna go for a competition stripe mustang. In the future ,I may pursue one . I think the best thing about shortscale/headless is that they always seem to fit into the most cramped rehearsal rooms

[quote name='3V17C' post='542627' date='Jul 16 2009, 09:30 PM']if its tapping with a Mr Big tone you want then you need a Yamaha Attitude bass!! c[/quote] +1 or a Kubicki. On the other hand ,if you like headless then a Hohner Jack or something similar should do. If you're gonna do lots of it ,then light gauge strings are best imho

best place to pick one of these up is from a flea market,or leave well alone and get a Badz Marou instead.

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='533463' date='Jul 6 2009, 12:30 AM']I too just picked up this amp on EBay for £29. The endosements seem to come from a lot of metal players & a lot of country players too. I don't suppose they are endorsing my £29 bargain but I'm sure it'll be fine[/quote] Nice price...you'll love it

Why not try a guitar/amp repair shop. Denmark st. perhaps

Nice...

Wot ,no Telecaster?? Nice collection tho'

I have a vester fretless(warwick copy) and it's fantastic. Wouldn't mind the fretted equivalent .

I have Boss CEB-3 almost new condition . Original Box,instructions etc £40.00 posted if you're interested. Doesn't rock my boat ,nicre coloured box next to my 2 other Boss pedals which are not going. ^_^

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='527651' date='Jun 29 2009, 12:39 PM']Agreed! They all look good IMO. For me it would be Aqua, Yellow or Lime[/quote] +100 ..or even with a check style like the DEAN CABBY BASS

Met up with the band yersterday after a 2 month break. We all had a great time ,until I put my 5 String Schecter Diamond against the wall while we chilled out for a few mins. Then,for no apparent reason it fell to the floor...aaargh! There seemd to be a pretty big scratch around the jack socket-but nowhere else. Okay,if it's only there , then nobody can see it and at least it wasn't on the neck. I was thinking a few minutes ago that , I purchased one of the higher end Schecters and surely the expensive paint job couldn't be so pony . I have a similar Washburn status which I've bumped a bit but not to the stage where it's paint has been removed. Anyway, a few moments ago , I got a cloth, wiped the area to see if I could minimise the carnage and all of a sudden the mark is gone My Schecter rocks!! Next session 'll probably be the headless . I know certain basses are gonna be bumped and banged without any worries(Fender etc.) Just thought I'd share this with you,and was wondering if you've had similar experiences.....

[quote name='truegeminis' post='522127' date='Jun 23 2009, 10:23 PM']Do you mean this live album? [url="http://cdbaby.com/cd/stuarthamm"]http://cdbaby.com/cd/stuarthamm[/url] Big fan of Stu Hamm, but I haven't got GHS3. I'll have to try to get a copy because I loved the Light Beyond.[/quote] Yep that's the one! Thanks for that I'll have to get that now,and then hunt down the others

Happy Birthday!Hope you rock the place. Apart from the fact that it's too far from me,I'll be seeing Chickenfoot . It's gonna be scorchin' on that day so you may have to play in bermuda shorts

Stu is awesome! I can do the 1st bit. Trouble is Iwas leaving the basics behind while I was trying to do all the ''tricks''. Now I just play fingers/plectrum and avoid . However , you can find out how to do it on his 1st HOT LICKS DVD

Yeah,they're Loud, very clear sounding and seem much better than the Trace Elliot I had. If I get a moment tomorrow evening I'll send you a few pics if you want. It may be in the amp for sale section a few months back.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='520761' date='Jun 22 2009, 02:17 PM']nice one. Sweet little setup there.[/quote] +1

Sounds like this place should be renamed ''Dirty Rats''

These were hard to come by when they were originally released. Still haven't got them .or heard anything from this collection. Love Stu, after getting 'the urge' he hasn't released much has he? Still trying to track down his double live cd without success.

I've got eden nemesis nc-250 combo ..awesome ! Only reason I'm selling mine is I decided to get lighter and slightly more portable head amp/cab . It's a shame you live so far away,as I would've invited you around to try it out.

Cool!
