    I've got the Novation MiniNova, which is small and immense fun; but then I know very little about synths! Gotta love a vocoder though...

    I've just bought tickets for this show: http://london.brooklynbowl.com/event/557137-maceo-parker-london/ And have to say I'm pretty excited! Has anyone been to this venue before? It seems to get some poor reviews, so fairly surprised he's playing there. Or has anyone seen Maceo play recently? I'm trying not to build my expectations up too high, but failing miserably! Andy

    I find it useful when I want to play behind the beat (as I have a tendency to push the tempo of songs otherwise). Not sure why it works, but it does for me.

    Thanks Gareth. I'm totally going to regret selling this, but I'm just not playing in the right bands for it. Obviously tonally a different beast from a Wal, but I think they both make great use of natural wood, especially walnut. And the build quality is really special for such a reasonably priced instrument.

    Actually, the only trades I would consider are a Bergantino NV115, or a US Ampeg SVT 4 Pro.

    Hi James. Nothing I'm really after at the moment. Feel free to suggest though; I'm often easily led astray!

    *SOLD* Hi, For sale (due to unforeseen expensive impulse purchases) is my fretless Sandberg Panther Special 5. Just over a year old, bought new from Thomann. In perfect condition; only used a couple of times for acoustic project. Cost £1100 new (and still that on Thomann) so selling for a hopefully tempting price of [b]£700[/b] [b]​[/b]Walnut facing with mahogany core body. Maple neck with rosewood unlined fingerboard. 35" scale. Gold hardware. Pickups are actually a bridge humbucker and neck split coil (in stylish offset casings). 3 band EQ, volume, pan and active/passive switching. Included Sandberg heavy duty gig bag, with Sandberg tools. Great tone, and easy to play. Just not getting enough use from me, so its gotta go. Would prefer cash and pickup from Cambridge, but happy to meet up halfway or discuss other options. Not really interested in trades. Any questions just ask, Cheers, Andy [attachment=171139:IMG_0768.jpg][attachment=171140:IMG_0769.jpg][attachment=171141:IMG_0770.jpg] [attachment=171142:IMG_0771.jpg][attachment=171143:IMG_0773.jpg][attachment=171145:IMG_0774.jpg] [attachment=171146:IMG_0775.jpg][attachment=171138:IMG_0767.jpg]

    With regards to feedback I'd add, on the Yamaha EMX312SC don't use vocal compression more than absolutely necessary (and probably not at all), likewise reverb. It also has a small graphic eq, and you might be able to nudge the offending frequency down a little bit on that. (A good graphic eq would be an excellent investment when you get your monitor). Also make sure the singer is using a good quality mic; SM58s are ubiquitous for good reason.

    Hi Paulie. Yes, if you're willing to arrange a courier.

    Further price drop to £420 (Ouch, this is getting painful now!)

    I've got icolor 4s (bulbs) and an Equinox Mega Bar (LEDs). Of the two I much prefer the icolors. The LEDs give a very piercing light, and it's hard to set them so they don't blind everyone. Bulbs still give much warmer colours than LEDs, but it looks like LED technology is improving rapidly. Still worry about blowing bulbs, but haven't so far in 2 years. However, using LEDs and bulbs in combination is great; general washes with the icolor, and a bit of flashing with the LEDs. Both have sound to light, but you can vary the sensitivity and patterns to make it less school disco, and both have simple foot controllers for blackouts, holds and pattern changes.

    That is indeed a cracking price. Do you know if he would be amenable to considering a 5 string version with two precision pickups? I do indeed think that would be my dream bass!

    Bump and further price drop to £430.

    Any chance of a rough idea of how much it set you back? No worries if that's a rude question! It's just the sort of thing I've wanted for ages!

    A long time ago I took the frets out of a jazz bass. I carefully filled the slots with laminate, and then built up several coats of epoxy, sanding and levelling in between coats. It sounded good, but intonation was a bugger and the sound was a bit uneven. Took it into a repair shop and they sanded it down and levelled it on a machine while I waited, and voila: brilliant fretless sound. I really wouldn't get hung up about marks on the finger board; unlikely to affect the sound, and easily sorted with the right tools. Since then I've had a few fretless basses, and I'm afraid to say in my experience a lot of the "mwah" factor comes from buying an expensive bass! (Wal, Pedulla, etc.) I also find I go a bit more effect-heavy with a fretless; they just love compression, chorus and reverb. Then round wounds, light touch and left hand vibrato for the win.
