  1. Mate that would be perfect! I'll PM you.
  2. I'm having some issues with my current rig. I have two brand new GK cabs and a GK MB500 head. I've hardly used them together but whenever I do I notice a disturbing farty sound coming from the cabs. The weird thing is, it's exactly the same from both cabs, which would suggest a problem with the head, but I've used the head with other cabs and have noticed no ill effects. Although I bought them new, the cabs have been sitting upstairs for a few weeks and I have chucked the boxes away, which could make returning them a problem... I need to try the cabs with another amp but I only own the one. Are there any BCers near Dartford who would be willing to give up an hour or so and the use of their amp? I can bring biscuits. Thanks in advance!
  3. [quote name='ashevans09' timestamp='1344077837' post='1759435'] Kind of have issues with his whole AIDS denialism thing. And by kind of have issues I mean I do have issues. Massive ones. . [/quote] What has he said/done?
  4. A fantastic bass, made that little bit better by the lack of dongs.
  5. Great player, a once great band, but does he really deserve his own sig?
  6. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1343925739' post='1757455'] otherwise I find I`m in the way of the guitars. [/quote] I don't see any problem there...
  7. My mate has a Thumb 5 BO - albeit a broadneck version, something only available as a custom option these days for comedy money. As basses go, the Thumb is utterly unique, like playing a bit of tree - in a good way. One day, I will own one. If you keep your eyes peeled you should be able to pick one up for a good price.
  8. 2 points: 1) Awesome wife. 2) Best neck ever! The bass, that is.
  9. [quote name='x_Morning_Star_x' timestamp='1343659487' post='1753248'] Hi just wanting to get your opinions on any of these heads, i'm looking to buy a new head (would love a 2001rb but really i don't need that much power) [/quote] Just get a GK 700, surely?
  10. I've used Rotosound 66s for the best part of a decade, never had any fret wear issues from them. I love the fresh from the packet sound. My only issue is that they lose that clank too quickly. I'm looking for a string with a similar sound that lasts a bit longer, if anyone has any suggestions?
  11. If I had seen this last week I would have had it! Favourite neck ever!!! Good luck with the sale, this shouldn't be here long.
  12. Just sold my Orange amp to Zenitram. As the good Ms Undead said, a pleasure to deal with! Enjoy the amp!
  13. [quote name='TomWIC' timestamp='1343375600' post='1749619'] Couldn't agree more. There's always been a great balance in his writing, he knows exactly when the guitar and bass needs to be playing and when they don't need to be, and when they do, he's proved how effective simple but well written parts work, i.e. The Dope Show or The Beautiful People. [/quote] I've never been a particular fan of his playing, but his tone on Mechanical Animals is just immense. I read an interview with him in Guitar World magazine at the time (he played all the guitar parts on MA as well) which discussed how they recorded the bass for that album. He played an old Gibson EB-3 or Fender Precision through a mic'd amp, the signal of which was then sent through a large PA system. That's what you can hear on the album. Incredible sound!
  14. That used to be mine! Stunning bass, they really do live up to the hype. I sold it on as the neck was a bit too slim for me.
  15. [quote name='Stejohn' timestamp='1343171633' post='1746669'] I´d like to have something with more soul inside than Bongo can offer. I play mainly hard rock and metal so i´d like to have something strong in middle and in bottom. I use pick and fingers but i slap very sporadic. [/quote] SPECTOR.
  16. [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1343176814' post='1746697'] Absolutely. I also find myself thinking that his tone on LD50 is the reference point from where I think about otheer bass tones, particularly mine! Truckstop [/quote] I'd love to hear Mudvayne played on a Blazer
  17. Can deliver around the SE for petrol money.
  18. A great doc, although it felt a bit hurried - there's probably enough material there to explore for a full series.
