Machines

Look forward to this when it hits the shops.

I used my Ashdown Electric-Blue 180w at my first gig and it wasn't quite up to it (farted a bit). As soon as I attached a MAG210 cab and ran it at 4ohm - everything was perfect, only have the volume on about 3-4.

I think it's sometimes possibly disassociating with the problem and blaming someone else as a way to feel better. For example, you know you have some bills coming up that you can't afford, and that bass/amp hasn't been collecting dust for months but you like the look of it. You don't really want to sell it, so she made you do it ! Personally, my GAS wouldn't know any ends, there's always something else I'd want. I do quite well, the missus will always buy me anything easy to get hold of or cheap (pickguard, strings etc) without asking. When it comes to basses - I generally try to upgrade via trading rather than buying out right. I swapped a Yamaha BB614 for a Fender Jazz, and an Ibanez Musician for my Stingray, so i'm quite happy with that.

Gone..

The spine's been broken in about 5 places and I'm not impressed.[/quote] Not possible - the sorting offices have been empty.

I went through a 6 string phase, then realised I had no real need for it. I get on just fine with a 4.

I use D'Addario Prosteels on my RBX775, but I am going for a modern fretless sound. Flatwounds will give you an upright vibe for sure..

These guys (and gals) are also pro's. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF4YdyUeSIk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF4YdyUeSIk[/url]

Can't beat natural finish with black pickguard .

I go for the solid rock category too, occasional melodic fills and a few slapping interludes.

W H Smith usually has it - look very carefully, it's always behind something like Oboe Weekly and Sitar Times .

Eww Telesales, i'd rather mop out drains than do that.

I'll stick to the one pint to relax me a bit, any more and I just lose my edge and screw up alot.

Just spotted these - looks interesting. I wonder if the 64 or 84 would suit me best...

They're fantastic looking basses - can't wait to see one in the erm, grain ? Any idea on price ?

Hmm it doesn't do it any favours .

I still think you should buy me some pickups for my Jazz . On a more serious note - I reckon the Behringer compressor would probably be ok. You could always order it and if it sucks send it back within 7 days.

GAK have just listed their whole range by the looks of it.

Nice idea - shame it looks pants. If it was all zebrawood it might work...

How much did that cost you ? Never seen one for sale..

It says that they're Alder which really does shock me, I was expecting some variety of chipboard.
