Twigman

Never really thought about it and sitting here I couldn't tell you.... <off to youtube to watch me in some videos to see what I do with my plucking hand....>

I got a new flight case before going to Greece this weekend. It was custom made by ABS Flight Cases and is the dog's danglies of flight cases. thanks ABS

I LOVE THEM

[quote name='StevieC' post='758380' date='Feb 26 2010, 04:56 PM']Excuse the rant but what's with bands who turn up [b]without[/b] their own bass amps, guitar amps and drum kits???[/quote] We always turn up without any backline. Normally we've requested the promotor to supply a long list of specifics..... Easyjet's excess baggage charges prohibit taking backline with us.

Hi I am in Watford I play bass in Sad Lovers & Giants ( have been likened to Joy Division at times ). I have facilities to create backing tracks (Sonar 7 producer and various bits of kit ) Which songs do you need backing tracks to and is it just the keyboard parts? I [i]might[/i] be able to assist.....but will be pushed for time tbh

ASIO is merely the type of driver that is used in your soundcard. If you are experiencing dropouts the best way to avoid these is to increase the size of your I/O buffer. IN ASIO mode this must be done in the ASIO control panel for your soundcard not from within Sonar. Obviously latency may suffer as the buffer gets bigger. AT 44100kHz and 16bit a buffer I generally use a buffer size of 1024 without too much latency resulting.

I went in my loft and although I didn't find any vintage Fenders I did find: [list]A crappy old kay p-bass which I thought I'd taken down the tip 2 full seasons of Leeds United programs from 1974-5 and 1975-6 - strange as I support Sunderland and have never been anywhere near Elland Road ??? [/list]

Happens to me always when I remember I had one of those and I sold it![/quote] Not as frustrating as actually having lost one.....I might still have it i just don't know where!!

[quote name='lowdown' post='482040' date='May 7 2009, 02:48 PM']Hey Twigman Do you hang around the Sonar Forum Much? Garry[/quote] I used to a lot. I'm known as Twigman over there too.

[quote name='sk8' post='481990' date='May 7 2009, 02:05 PM']BBE Opto Stomp[/quote] I bought one of these a few eeeks ago and can say it was £55 very well spent. Lovely - it pulls up my troughs and squashes my peaks subtly and cleanly - exactly like a decent compressor should.

To my mind the reliced basses do not show 'natural' signs of wear though - they just look like they've been bashed about or attacked with brillo pads or the like.... My JV bass is aging nicely - it's an 83 and is showing signs of wear but not in the places a modern reliced bass is 'worn'. If it's to replicate the look of truly aged vintage basses then surely they'd be damaging the finish in the appropriate places?

I just don't get it. Why would someone want to pay through the nose for an artificially beaten up bass? Someone please explain the attraction. Thanks

PC with RME HDSP9632 soundcard with the I/O extension boards Alesis 3630 compressor for vocal compression prior to recording Cakewalk Sonar 7 producer edition I record at 16bit 44100kHz to keep file sizes down and I hear little difference at the end of the day from 24bit. 16/44.1 gives less headroom when mixing than say 24/96 but uses a lot fewer CPU cycles which means I can keep my buffers smaller.

I had an 80s Brown Boss Bass Chorus pedal (mono - not stereo) which I loved. Sadly I have lost it.

I can't play for sh*t. It's never really bothered me. I play in a band which doesn't require that I can play complex stuff. I still enjoy playing to the 600odd that pay to see us but I would never cut it on open mic night.

[quote name='dlloyd' post='474267' date='Apr 28 2009, 03:28 PM']That's £360 in todays prices... can that still be thought of as a 'budget' bass?[/quote] It was budget at the time though. if you wanted cheaper you'd have to buy a Hondo or a crappy Kay (I had a crappy Kay at the time and it was just a lump of very heavy cheap wood - hardly a bass at all).
