looks like im pretty tatered then being a over weight middle aged....didi really say middle aged...!! with an old laney a couple of battered 152 an a thunderbird...or ric copy...oh i could always use my ibanez!!

iv thought i was an average player,then u play with bands and there bass players great,and they come over and tell ur a great player and ur like Really!! or another was a band bigged em selves up,telling me 3 chord rock was dead...yea ok....telling me their bassest,wich was a chick,was a vertuoso and clasically trained playing a 7 stringer....i stood and watched them and thought...ok love u got another 6 strings to play with.....u play to ur abilaty then that becomes ur style....i had an interveiw with an online mag thing,they asked the other two in my band what their influences were,they rattled off loads....they asked me...i said hawkwind....they asked me my bass influences....i said harvey bainbridge,alan davey and lemmy...all hawkwind bassests...so iv taught my self to play by only listening to hawkwind!!! but now i try to play to middle of the road stuff pop pap,to see how "commercial"bass lines are built i play along to anything now,u dont have to like it,its the exercise,im in a techno rock band,but im looking for a singy bird type of band so i have some thing different to play.

like me...i aint here to be the best...but the heaviest n loudest!!

i got a 212 that i threw together,as a practice cab, used the dimentions from the ashdown site.im gonna compleately rebuild it,as i got a joinery co as a customer,but 2 things im thinking about,is to split the box with a central baffle,would this make the speakers more punchy?,also any benefit to wiring the speakers seperate,there 2 8 ohms,or the wiring makes no difference? id fancey doing a cab for my 215s but wouldnt get a 40inch cab in our band battle barge....crysler voyager!!

[quote name='Chopthebass' timestamp='1200320399' post='120101'] Here is my rig. These new DB112 cabs are awesome! Basses are custom Sirius headless models. [/quote]dude...canada looks like surrey!!!

dingus any attention is good attention for us bassests!!

also the last gig i played one of the other bands was talking and one of them said u aint played a gig properly if u aint made a mistake!!

another is try not to remember any of the song...over analyse....i dont remember anything till im on and the drums count in the opening bars then it flows

ur right there lozz i always try to get a look at the gear they use more than the fronting talent...like the first thing i listen to is the bassline,watch bands i always watch the bass player!!,so solid state set ups are the thing now?

ok after watching totps xmas day,a lot of the singy birds seemed to have a "backing band"miming behind them,most seemed to be playing what looked tlike marcus miller fenders,or stingrays,410s or 810s..but just wondering what kind of heads the session bassests use?as for miming how does one get a gig doing this...as i am eyecandy!!!

[quote name='Bass-ic' timestamp='1356742295' post='1913256'] .........................................am still attempting to learn how to play bass, [/quote]play octaves...string a few together always looks n sounds impressive!!

i think its alot to do with personalities,with my band they could get a way better bass player than me but its not to say he fits with the band...

the laney is quite clean up to bout 1 n half,the 2 n over it starts ti distort,most of the time i dont turn up master,i dont really scoop but i have the 2 outer bass sliders up full also the 2 treble full the rest are set to compensate,the rehersal room is small.no drummer so we dont need it loud so im barley on a 1/4 on gain,so im begining to think that big amps dont go low? or maybe ss amps do? the mb450 has a horrible sound to my ears,i like subsonic bass,the marshall jmc 900 it distorts from about 4,but to get the volume of one on the laney the marshall valve needs to be 6!!

i bout hartke 350 the other week took it back a week later!! its loud!! great sound,turned it up to 2 and fried a 15 inch speaker!!! the reason i took it back was i couldnt get it down low enough,at a 1/4 it was too fuzzy turned up too load as i dont have drummers to fight against....drum machines so i drowned everything,if i join a band with a drummer...yea id get another!

ummmm...im a space metal bassist...

i dont get nervous bout getting up stage,anxious maybe,im more nervous bout getting it wrong but if some one else in the band messes i think oh well...then play blindingly!!

i always played it all on the d string!!...drone string...kewl...like lemmy in hawkwind....infact nearly all hw songs!!

i was learning to slap n pop....but gave up...as i can be just as funky with a pic i learned looking for today and spiral architect im in the beginings of learng the night by frankie valli and sweet child o mine!! i also learned that rammenstein are total sh*te!!

iv got us a big 6ft wall chart for out room to cover most of the wall....keepin it old skool....keepin it real!!!
