Few good suggestions so far. Don't think it's been mentioned yet, but the Line6 Pod x3 (or x3 live) have the ability to combine 2 types of amp modeling, ie. a marshall stack with an ampeg etc. Maybe that way you could get the guitar amp grunt without losing lows?

The graph is pretty self explanatory Alex, to anybody thats prepared to look that is Any dates on availability of the "big one"?

Mmm, you can get the passive version brand new (inc gigbag) for £530, Glock/Bart/Aggie 2band pre's for £70 ish. So I would say no to it being a bargain (esp current market trends). BUT, if it sounds & plays like a dream, then its a bargain to you.

The Laney is a good sounding head for the money. and a few nice features. Its more of a modern, clean/bright sound compared with the the mag300 (which is great too). Just a heads up on the Warwick profet though, thomman are knocking 'em out very cheap at the moment. link- [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_profet32_basstopteil.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_profet32_basstopteil.htm[/url] I own and use one of these and they sound very nice.

too much thinking and not enough playing does that

Don't buy into the hype. get something easier on the pocket and better quality, IE. Cort, Ibanez, etc, if resale value is that much of an issue, take up another hobby. I prefer tone and build to a f&%* label on a $150 piece of driftwood ;-/

Bass Central have a few used models in stock too. Probably get summat nice for well under a grand all in.

I gave up on after the "black album",I don't own anything since then. However "puppets" & "justice" are two of my fave albums of all time. I think after Cliff's death, their writing process changed for the worse. They were almost a prog band in the making, then turned into a cliched heavy rock act (IMO).

Students squire almost as good as my MIA Fender
tempo replied to Jezyorkshire's topic in Bass Guitars
+1 to warwickhunt on comparitive value of warwicks. And yes, I partially agree to the idea of USA fenders not being twice as good as the Mexican or Squire versions, but whether you like it or not, buying fenders (esp USA) is buying the badge, your money, your choice (i will never spend my own on one). But buying a USA fender at least means you wont lose much, if anything, on resale. But why would anyone, other than a collector buy a musical instrument based on its depreciation value? -
Hi Matt, here's a link to a US shop that's got a few of the $$ in different colour oils to give you an idea. [url="http://www.rocketmusic.net/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?search=action&category=WABA&keywords=all"]http://www.rocketmusic.net/cgi-bin/commerc...mp;keywords=all[/url]

Most players, and most don't read forums such as this, will emulate what they see their musical heroes use, to a degree. Also a measure of flawed science, its amazing how many players of these 4x10/1x15 type rigs believe they are "bi-amping" And lets face it how many buy rigs from guitar shops where the majority of the people selling the gear haven't got a clue what they're talkin about. (Bass Ferret, just surprised to see a musician with a "proper Hi-fi", they tend to shy awayfrom such a concept! )

Off Topic, but is that a Naim CD player & speakers I see there Mr Ferret?

sorry.. here's a link that works! :blush: [url="http://www.musicstore.de/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/BOS/MusicStore-MusicStoreShop-Site/en_EN/-/EUR/ViewProductDetail-Start;pgid=TOZgS6SfaObm0000000000000000RgSD9Nat?CatalogVideo=&ProductUUID=DCDVqHzmwVEAAAEX53dgyFid&CatalogCategoryID=5QLVqHzlvFMAAAEVaBxWf70R&JumpTo=OfferList"]http://www.musicstore.de/is-bin/INTERSHOP....umpTo=OfferList[/url]

I was looking for Warwicks on some German shop sites the other day and stumbled across these [post="0"]http://www.musicstore.de/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/BOS/MusicStore-MusicStoreShop-Site/en_EN/-/EUR/ViewProductDetail-Start;pgid=TOZgS6SfaObm0000000000000000HGhPmaiN?CatalogVideo=&ProductUUID=DCDVqHzmwVEAAAEX53dgyFid&CatalogCategoryID=5QLVqHzlvFMAAAEVaBxWf70R&JumpTo=OfferList[/post]Has anyone here heard or had any experience with 'em. I'm seriously considering the 6 string (& fretless)
-
Mmm, not a fan of Fenders in general. I find them a bit limiting, tonally and playability wise. That said, I do love the way some of them look, and if they made the USA deluxe precision (the one with the bridge humbucker) in a six string variant, then I would be more than tempted.
-
Your probably right, its just Ive not played a bass with less than 5 strings for more than 5 minutes since I changed to floating thumb. When I have its felt a bit uncomfortable, but that could of been a number of things.
-
I started using floating thumb last year, when I moved to playing 6-7 string bass. I read about it over on the Todd Johnson forum over on TB. It is an unnatural feeling at first, you feel like you have no dynamic control, because of the lack of anchor when pulling on a string. This passes with practice, of course, and you end up with more control as you naturally play with a lighter touch. Of course the muting benefits are great, especially on 5 or more strings, and as previously mentioned, alternating between fingers, slap/pop, strumming & classical style are facilitated quicker IME. I will say, my transition was fairly quick, probably as I didn't have to "un-learn" too much as I'd only picked up bass several months before. Also, although this technique has many benefits, I'm not too convinced of its worth on 4 bangers.

Warwicks def have a different profile to their necks, the new ovangkol ones esp. Not so much increased depth, more of a ] than a ) (if you get what I mean!). It feel does feel fuller in the hand. I've tried a couple of the older (wenge) necked models and they seemed to have a more "normal" feel. FWIW, Warwick have started offering the thinner style profile in their CS basses, which is making me seriously tempted to get a Thumb BO 6'er. Now I just need to find 2 grand!
-
A sort of +1 to the previous 2 posts. I had an Ashdown EB combo as my 1st amp, It's got the same preamp as the MAG. It sounded pretty "vintage" (wooly?) into its own speaker, but into the Hartke 2.5XL extension cab, I got a great tone. The 5 band tone controls are well thought out frequencies. So I would mix it the other way, An Ashdown Mag head & Hartke (either two 2.5XLs or a single 4.5XL) cab (I wouldn't touch the transporter or vx range).

Bump for some pics!! sorry for the delay in putting these up, been offline for weeks. :/ -
Hi there shoppers. Its now got to the point where i've stopped playing this bass. It was the bass i used mainly for my band (coz the 6&7 scared them!). So ive decided to sell, hopefully adding the proceeds to the high end 6 i crave. Right, info on bass. Its made in korea, 2004, i purchased last year N.O.S. So very good nick. Its got mahog body, quilted maple veneer top. 1piece maple neck, rosewood f/board. Electronics are Duncan basslines- MM bridge and a jazz neck pup. 2 band eq, vol, blend & active on/off switch. The vol is a push pull to split the bridge humbucker too. So there are a few tones on board, all useful (not always the case). An Ibanez gig bag is included btw. They were selling for £400-450 before being discontinued. Im looking for around £200, offers invited of course. Any more info needed, just ask here or call me on 07958 763246. I am happy for collection or post. (at cost). There is a pic on my profile, i will add more soon.
