Little miss WoT is called Constance, and little mister WoT is called Jet. Both bass-related, but don't tell the Missus. :-D

Cheers, Musky!

I thought I'd posted in this one already, but I can't see it. I must have dreamt it. Anyway, Laklands. Lovelier than the already lovely LaBellas, cheaper, and more definition in the mids.. very little clank and clatter. And let's face it - flats are about mids, not clank and clatter. They're out of stock but I can sell you some from the big box of them that I have in my shed that Walbassist referred to earlier. Only joking. Maybe.

Microbass II for me. Great bit of kit - everything the SansAmp does, without sucking the life out of your tone. However, you might like the SansAmp tone...

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1362512750' post='2000628'] I'm using Lakland Joe Osborne Signature Flats and they're amazing. I also got really good results with La Bella Deep Talkin'. [/quote] Both of these, especially the Laklands... they're cheaper and growlier.

What would he have improved by upgrading? btw, the holes were where the string mutes used to be.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1362508885' post='2000486'] All good, but flats don't [i]have[/i] to be thumpy and fat. They can be clanky, buzzy, boingy and toppy as well. [/quote] Amen.

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1362503126' post='2000327'] And those who mix the bass drum to have depth charge type sounds regardless of the music type and so operating at the same frequencies. [/quote] That drives me NUTS.

The main enemy of flats is sound guys / producers who don't know how to mix 'em.

Rock, country, blues, folk, pop, acoustic, electric...

Sold an amp to Muzz - super-smooth transaction, friendly comms. Deal with confidence...

Hello Japcrappers! Any ideas what this is? It's a friend's. Sorry if one has been ID'd in the thread already, but it's a bit long to read through...

It's not as bad as people make out, I reckon. The soundtrack is tremendous.

He's fairly well established. I think he's spotted that the tide is beginning to turn, and he's going into self-preservation mode.

Agents are the worst thing to happen to the pub scene in living memory.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1362128441' post='1996021'] That ain't no Bob Babbitt unless he changed ethnicity! [/quote] Ha.. it's him on the track. The fella in the video is nickin' the glory.

[quote name='leftyhook' timestamp='1362097948' post='1995926'] someone hit me around the head with a P bass that impresses me!! I want to be impressed but......:OL Had a decently playable Squier P/J, put some Dimarzio's on it....it was just loud and BOOMY!!! Awful. I want one ( Scott Divine does a great job of dangling the carrot) but yet to find love [/quote] A P/J ain't a P... A great P tone? Where to start... how about here, courtesy of Bob Babbitt?

This is all very interesting. I'm seriously considering selling my HS210s literally because I fancy a change, and the Baers were toward the top of my list along with a pair of Berg 12s or something Barefaced. it's silly really - the HS210s are probably as good as I'll get. GAS is a terrible thing.
