That looks really really wrong to me. How does it play?

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=252&st=20"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=252&st=20[/url] It was done as a joke. Poking fun at him. G

Haha G

So what is an altime favorite. Great tone, great feel. Awesome G

Amazing, more often you hear people meeting thier heros and feeling let down. Glad he is a legend. G

It would be a sad day if such a forum was needed. the optimist in me says a forum like that wont ever be used much.

i cant seem to work out how to do this..... will try and sort it asap G

i thin they are ernie ball 40-105's G

get alot of studio gear from them. Always recieved within the week. G

i love the sound he gets out of that p bass. Fat and warm. His parts always compliment the main melody of the songs. Truely an amazing, understated player. G

[quote]i've realised i've jacked this thread slightly. the EQ I can set flat but it has an 8th slider which cuts/boosts gain by 15db. I think i might experiment when i get home. or should i actually go and watch a band... apologies for the thread jacking[/quote] That would work very well. i used to do exactly this. G

Here is a tune i have spent a while working on. It all done now. features the flute work of a dude called Tom Pickels. Its my composition but all the flute parts Tom composed (i eddited them and arranged them). It was a strange collaboration really. anyway: www.myspace.com/garryboyle

[quote]The NTK could sound cool with an acoustic guitar, a foot or two from the soundhole (off-centre), with a smaller condensor about a foot from the neck around where the fretboard meets the neck. Noice! With the NTK you can blend between the cardioid, figure of 8 and omni patterns, which is handy.[/quote] My ntk is fixed cardiod..... thats the onlt bad thing about it.

[quote]E down to B is only a perfect fourth. E up to B is a fifth[/quote] hehe, yup cheers for that. G

I dont but Yamaha make good kit and cubase, although not really to my liking, is a good piece of saftware. I dont think you will go far wrong with either mate. Garry

[quote]Wouldn't personally recommend SM58's for recording vocals. Most people would go for a condenser mic (as opposed to a dynamic mic such as 58's, 57's etc) to record vocals or acoustic instruments. It depends on your budget really if you're looking to buy. I have an SE Electronics SE2200a on vocals and acoustic guitars and it sounds good enough which was only £139 and also a Neumann MK147 which cost a fair bit more and is gorgeous.[/quote] I used a pair of Neumann M149's yesterday for an orchestral recording. They are £3,500 each. I had over £10 grands worth of microphones for that project. needless to say it was amazing. Good simple mics: Instrument amps and drums: SM58, SM57's are good. Overheards - Pair of AKG C1000's or AKG 414's. Kick mic - AKG D112 or EV RD27 (but at £600 its a bot pricey). Condensers: Rode Nt1, Nt2a, NTK (all valve, i have one, its awesome) - all of these are good instrument and vocal mics. Anything by neumann basically. Recently used the AKG Perception 500 mics. They sound sonically very close to my NTK. There is so much out there I could spend all night on this forum. They all do the same thing but in a slightly differant way. G

oh wow. looking forward to keeping up with this one G

My dropper does not go as low as B. Dropping a string a whole fifth would drop tension across the neck enough to really mess up the intonation of the rest of the strings... So i dount they exist. Think mine drops E to about C sharp. Garry

[quote]Resurrecting the classic thread from BW/BT past! Here's mine - Ampeg SVT-4PRO Amp Ampeg SVT210HE Cabinet Ampeg SVT15E Cabinet Yeehaa![/quote] That is what a bass rig should look like. One day mine: I love the ampeg sound. One day ill have those cabs you have. G

Just wanna put a big shout out to Phatmonkey, Crazykiwi and Ped. Ben (phatmonkey) is currently doing exams, CK is busy with work and Ped is busy being a bum and STILL they have managed to get this place up and running. Its these three guys and their round the clock work that have got us here. Basschat belongs to its users now, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. Thanks guys. Your hard work has not gone unnoticed. Garry

I think its fine where it is. G

Well, Match faces to 'user names' Here is me from a gig a while back: And recently: G

And some before and after shots: The john east is awesome. The tonal flexability is massive. Literally a tweak on the eq makes a massive differance and full boosts are insane. The nice thing is the passive switch which returns the bass to exactly how it souded when it leaft the factory. The finnish is perfect and exactly how i wanted it to turn out. Nice touches are the d-tuner and new neck plate. The action was almost perfect right after assembly which was odd considering the necks been off for 2 weeks. The neck will need a few very minor tweak over the next few weeks but all in all i am delighted with the end results. Cheers for all the help and support everyone. Garry

The final assembly: G

Day 2 of finishing and after a coat of wet and dry. G
