Wow!! Thats an awesome amount of basses!! Welcome to the Site! With regards to the gigging scene in Edinburgh... Like TheButler said!!

Hey guys, Hoping someone can help me out here with regards to a new effects unit/ pre amp.... The situation I have is that whenever me and the guitarist in my band do a technical lick together in a song the bass gets substantially lost because the guitarist boosts his signal using a line6 floor pedal that does everything, including probably making coffee!! I would also like to be able to bring some reverb, chorus, flanger, etc. to my sound for some songs. Now for this I see two options available, in my very limited knowledge of equipment that is available. An effects processing unit or a pre-amp unit and seperate indivdual effects pedals. Does anyone have good/bad experiences of different units and any suggestions of units that would suit my needs!? Cheers in advance! Tom p.s. I think I would prefer rack mountable with a footswitch as I have plenty of spare space in my rack, though it is not the be all end all! And I have got a P-bass going through a behringer compressor to my Peavey tour 450 head and 4x10 cab. I think that is everything!

Awesome guys, cheers for the help!! Better search for some good samples now! Shall let you know how it goes and let you hear the finished product! Silky

Hey guys!! I am after a little bit of help with making a bit of an intro for our band's new live set! The band is called Driller, and so true to the name we want to make an intro that is a mixture of building site pneumatic drill and electric drill sounds which can then merge into the note of our first song (which starts on D flat). Anyway I thought there must be someone on here that will know how you could make an intro like this!? And then once we've made one, how would we play it back just before we go on stage and play the first song!? Cheers in advance! Silky

Hey dudes sorry I didn't make it! got home later than expected last night and Had practise today so didn't get the chance!! Hope you had a good time though!

Awesome dude!! Good luck!!

Yeah best would be Saturday, dependant on Missus!

At the moment I'm only along in Peebles so I would be up for shooting along to this!

Oooh that is lovely, I'm really fancying a japanese precision! I tried a fair few when I was over in Japan, some brand new and some about 10years old and every single one felt "right" so I dont think you can go far wrong with a jap precision! Enjoy it!

Cool website!! And Yeah there's tonnes of Billy's gear! Crazy, maybe one day one of mine will be there fetching lots of money!

hey man! welcome to bass chat! Where abouts in Scotland do you stay!? ... there are some good action pictures in there!

Ashevans ... 7 nights in tokyo is probably enough... I didnt see all of what it had to offer, however i went a couple of nights, which wrote of the mornings so could have seen more, saw plenty of temples, shrines, parks and modern shops etc, which is what tokyo is all about (i think) If you are travelling in Japan, I visited a town outside tokyo called kamakura which was really nice for a day trip with loads of old temples and a big buddha! Errm Tokyo is really easy to navigate, get a day ticket for the underground for 1000yen and you're sorted, you can literally see all of the city in a day, just very quickly! Oh and the place i stayed, which was absolutely brilliant was Ace Inn, Shinjuku (its right above a station and about 20mins walk from the imperial palace so good place to stay! ) geilerbass ... I was very lucky, last year I met a girl from Japan who visited UK just to see 3 gigs of Def Leppard so she arranged the tickets for Mr Big! So I didnt have to learn Japanese! Soulfinger ... Sadly my money could not stretch to a new bass, since I'd bought one just before i left, however I tried so many! There are so many amazing music shops out there, literally one whole street that had about 10 on it ... but thats not the best bit, the best bit is that most shops have as many if not more bass guitars than kead guitars!! which makes a change!! Prices are crazy as well, very much dependant on trends i think... in one shop there was a japanese p-bass for about 350quid (cheap I thought) and a yamaha attitude for 1700quid (expensive I thought) Anyway, yeah budokan was a cool venue! The crowd were going crazy! Cant wait to see them in London now! Tom p.s. ... im glad nothing changes then rslaing

hey!! i promised i would come on here and let you guys know how my trip to japan to see Mr Big went and all i can say is that it was truely amazing!! probably my favourite place in the whole world!! I saw Mr Big on their second last show there in Tokyo at the budokan and oh my god what a show it was!! They were on top form and tight as! Well impressed and really pleased i went! If anyone is considering London for Mr Big, do it! They are on it! So what has been happening lately, have three weeks of catching up to do! Tom

Obviously not going just for them, but its another good reason to go to Japan!

Ahhhh!! I cant wait to see them next month now!!
