RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Ambient stuff . Tangerine dream/ pete namlook/ jarre etc.

The BBC page has 'sir terry Wigan '. Are they having a dig or what? Rip terry ;(

Thanks zenitram. I'm glad you understood my question. I thought I had everyone baffled . Looks like I'll have to get a jam man , and then an akai . Or , the Roland thingy I asked fr in the wanted section

I have a couple of loopers hardly used. I have had an idea in my head, that won't go away . What I want to do, is to record bass loops ,,then load onto some pads ( akai mpk , or similar ?) . So, for some easy fun ( nothing technical ) , I want to be able to have some drum pads pre programmed . I then want a couple of empty pads for me to put my own bass loops/ general samples etc. The idea being, I would have just have to press a pad with the sound/ loop I want and record it With the digitech jam man , it has an s d sound card feature. Does this mean I could record my bass ( or any loop ) onto the sound card . Then , take sound card out of jam man and put it into a sample pad ( akai mpk?) . This would mean I would be able to just press the pad and sound that I recoded should be heard? Please advise . If this works, I will put my boss and ditto loopers up for sale . Cheers

Thanks Bert . Poxy spellchecker ! Anyway, it's a drum pad / sampling thingy.

Great amp . I only downsized mine, to a combo. Wish I kept it . It will easily sell , if you have to .

Like the idea of sampling . Not too difficult etc. Cheers

I must say ,that although there are some very helpful you pube clips here, they have almost put me off of keyboards. Sorry. They've done me a favour. Sorry charic, but if I were you, I'd just chill out at the back with the keys that yo have, and join another metal band. Maybe , you could put a whammy bar on your bass?

Don't forget the sound . I got rid of my Hohner professional headless. Great feel etc. I could even slap a bit on it . But, the sound was muffled . Steinberger so on the other hand- perfect sound but expensive. I ce got an xm-3 full bodied one. If I was in the o p position, I'd be after the synapse , mentioned here the other day .

Yep

Alternatively , you could strap the bass back on , get a couple of synth type effects and do away with keyboard . Or, play bass & get a keyboardist

It was made by gender iirc, with red LEDs

It was half fretted / half fretless. We're they any good?!we're not talking Billy Sheehan quality playing here , but possibly 2 basses in one Anybody done it ?

I'm gonna wait till Saturday It's not a huge amount, but if it feels the same as my vester , then £250 is a bargain . Only affording it ( just) as there's no council tax/ water bill for 2 months . If o don't get it , I'll steer clear of anything for sale for a long time

Good luck Dave

Saw a fretted version of my vester fretless bass. On there at the moment . Been relisted. Asked buyer if he wanted to do a buy it now price .( I was thinking£250) He gave me long winded answer. Next day , and wanted £350-400. T oo expensive IMHO . Nobody has bid yet . £200 starting price . 2 days left . If I bid £250 I have a feeling games will be played . Your thoughts ??

Will be the winery dogs on Sunday . I hate gigs on Sunday's because of London transport issues. They were gonna play Shepherd's Bush , and my friend was happy to drive me there. It got moved to Kentish Town , where my friend was reluctant to take his car . I was gonn bail out , but I am going now .

Good deal . I have a full body steinberger , and already have s gk combo , so I'll pass. Bloody gas!

I've just sold a telecaster Bass. I was at my most broke ever . I will be getting some spare cash within about 18 months , then I can buy a new 'expensive bass '. Sell if you really really have to ( ie no money for food for the momth etc).

Yngwie malmsteen , hates that kind of stuff with a passion.Apparently , he personaloses everything he signs . A few years back , at a gig he headlined at the hammy O , he threw a guitar into the crowd. Me and my friend caught the body. I let m friend have it . He received a lot of abuse from malmsteens fans on their fan club website . He did sell it eventually I think. He got malmsteen to sign it also

[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1453894330' post='2963860'] I'm not concerned about such things but can see why the OP is. A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to buy a Lemmy signature 4004 bass and confess that when he died I found myself wishing that I had bought it because the value had probably risen sharply in the short term. [/quote] I used to always go to the Notting hill record & tape exchange in the 80/90s. One Saturday morning , one of the guys behind the counter showed me a ric, that was supposed. To be one of lemmys for sale . They wanted £1000 for it . 1) it didn't feel playable 2) was it lemmys ?? 3) I couldn't afford it . 4) that shop was a rip off most of the time ,)

I suppose it all depends really . The seller may get a couple of hundred for it IMHO . The description wouldn't show on my iPhone for some reason. I've always been a fan of metal ( and ambient ). As a kid , I was a collector , more by accident . When I was playing my older brothers vinyl, it had the box shape lp cover, it was an original pressing , original inner sleeve etc. Buying the same thing news few. Years later, all of that was missing . The pressing was crap etc. I was a huge fan of iron maiden . Saw them around 20 or so times . I found a copy of their very first release , which I could only get by post.(£1.20) Because my tastes changed/ not playing vinyl anymore/ and being really broke , I sold it on eBay for £370.result. I met Metallica in shades record shop one lunchtime . Got severely told off by my bosses . They signed a white label test pressing , which I paid £1.2o in Camden market . Because cliff died , i got over a grand for that and the poster . Still a fan , but it made sense to sell at ghe time 12 years ago.' When pic discs came out , they were rare . When CDs came out , I sold the pic discs. Being poor, from a working class background , sometimes you're forced to sell.

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1453889652' post='2963758'] why did you sell it? now you'll have to buy another one.... or two [/quote] Feels odd now it's gone .sold it due to a couple of large bills . I'm trying to hold fire - for now I will , if I want , but an expensive bass to make up for it in a few months . Now , staying disciplined is the hard part

Yeah. Maybe you have to do a little truss rod adjusting
