RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

One other thing; I wonder if there is much difference between active/ passive steinberger s and the passive only ones?

Used to have a hohner stick bass ( professional b2a?). The action was brilliant . Could even do a small bit of acceptable slapping. If you slap, you'll love it . My only concern was the pickups. They were emg. But the sound just did not cut it IMHO . Not clear enough, no definition. My SteinBerger on the other hand , is such a professional sounding bass. The spirit series seem to take criticism for some reason. I saw a couple. Of demos on you tube and they seemed fine to me. Good for metal, and the drummer will love you

Amazing the amount of stick headless, basses used to get. Thing is , in small areas Mr. /Mrs. Drums will soon change their opinion;)

Boss odb3 ? (Get one cheap on here) there are so many compressors and boost pedals, you'd be surprised;) . There are loads of seperate pedals , from loads of different brands. You could even , buy a boss case , and have all3 that you require from boss. Over to other basschatters..

Could it be the jack ? Is it an active bass? If so, could it be the circuitry on that?

Glad you've found the sound. I remember,when I got my Aguilar head/cab the last amp I got before band split up.). There was a sound that just got me beaming. It held its own with 2 guitarists and a loud drummer, and was a very different sound from anything I'd gigged with. Long may it continue for you.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1425828156' post='2711129'] Toy? [/quote] Sorry nigel it's probably me being a it old fashioned. It does look like a load of fun. It's not quite guitar , not quite keyboard but very keyboard like in terms of features. I know it's app related . As mentioned above, it's very educational and would be good for schools etc.Woulc it be played in the dog and duck ?

Well, it's high tech ( for a toy IMHO ) . For me , it reminds me too much of Chad valley meets guitar hero.never had guitar hero, but could never get used to my friends. Just felt wrong. Interesting to see how well it does.

They look good, for someone like me who wants to do very basic recording. Please let me know if you have. Cheers

I'm at Brixton

Schecter diamond series. I used to have one Not very expensive. Shame they're not as common here as in the usa

Well said

That jack socket!!

We were at the same gig. I was in the balcony as well . One of the best gigs ever

I occasionally practice unplugged, on my washburn status! 10 mins turns into half hour ...

Try ch guitars ? They sell loads of spares

Thanx for heads up guys. I'm texting friend to see if they're up for it
