[quote name='fryer' post='455992' date='Apr 6 2009, 11:57 PM']bought secondhand in 2002. 200 w output with its 15" B W speaker, or 300 w if used with 4 ohm extension cab. Sounds good, and has lots of controls, ie, 8 band equaliser, pre / post gain, patch, etc, and can be bi-amped. Looks tatty. Fitted with side handles 'cos it's heavy.

Need to sell to pay for the recently purchased Crate head and Epifani cabinet. Realised the previous price was a bit low, so hoping for £160. Still a good price I think, from what was said previously. Can deliver locally, between Basingstoke and London.[/quote]

Two of you from Bolton ( see the post after yours ). We seem to be letting anyone in.

[quote name='51m0n' post='457204' date='Apr 8 2009, 11:29 AM']For what purpose are you making these recordings?

Is it a sketch pad, or are you looking to take some of those sketches into the realm of real multitracking - cos the later isnt cheap if you want really good results IME.[/quote]

Only so that we can listen and improve. Not making demo's or anything.

What you need is a Peavey 300 BW combo, plus cash, delivered / collected.

[quote name='Eight' post='456101' date='Apr 7 2009, 08:47 AM']Very good laptop + high spec audio interface + good sequencer software.

Are you *sure* you need 4 simultaenous inputs? Having multiple tracks is great if you're editing, but unless you do that then for a practice session it seems like you're just adding complexity.

You could record it all as one track if you plugged everything in to a little mixer and balanced the levels there. Just means you couldn't make changes later. Even take the mixer's output to something basic like a minidisc recorder etc.[/quote]

No, I'm not sure I need 4 inputs, and I do want to keep it simple. There are lots of suggestions for recording everything together, like the Zoom H4 which sounds good, and easy.

But I would like to, say, play the original song we're doing and record my bass line, then play this bass line and record a vocal track, on my own. Then when the boys come round, play this and and the guitars, etc, and record on separate tracks so we can re-do some.

Different to my original query, now I almost have an idea of what I want to do.

Therefore, is an 8 track, ie, Boss BR 600 suitable ?

Blimey, I thought a string was a string, as in - how long is a piece of said item.

I honestly didn't realise there was so much difference in the various types and makes.

I want to start recording our practice sessions. Recorders seem to go from £100 up to £1000 +, and 8 tracks only record 2 tracks at a time. Looking for something to record 1 or 2, or 4 or more tracks at a time, and play them back and record more. Any ideas ?

[quote name='hopkinsgm' post='452872' date='Apr 2 2009, 11:55 PM']Thank you for clarifying. Not sure where I'd be able to find Kopparberg at this time of night and all I've got in is red wine and some cheeky honey beers... And as for starting playing, bass shopping starts properly this weekend.

So what did you get ?

I want it !! I have a Peavey 300 BW Combo to trade. Tatty, but working and sounds good. Rich

Hi, is the Woolly Mammoth still for sale ?

Well, like 'obbm' I started with a Framus Star Bass, and I still have it, detailed in my introductions thread. Started playing in '64, and have a picture from around then when we were 15 ish. I recently met up with the guitarist, and he has given me a cd made from the reel to reel tape we recorded at the BBC in 1966. Memories. The local cinema in Slough ran gigs as well, and we got a regular spot on Saturday nights, playing to a few thousand people, which you couldn't see 'cos it was pretty dark. Amen Corner played in the same cinema, and we were in the front row.

Saw Georgie Fame at Pantiles, Geno Washington at the Ricky Tick, and others like Cream, Tyranasorus Rex, Led Zepellin, Curved Air.

[quote name='hopkinsgm' post='452784' date='Apr 2 2009, 09:52 PM']Considering taking up bass again. Played a bit about, uh, well, quite a lot of years ago anyway. Kinda fancy having another crack at it, so... actually, I'll start my own thread and stop hijacking yours

Oh, and go easy on the Kopparberg. That's some dangerous stuff.[/quote]

You must start again - playing, not downing Kopparberg. I'm glad I restarted. Can't play like I used to yet, but getting there slowly.

[quote name='steve-soar' post='452766' date='Apr 2 2009, 09:34 PM']Hi there fryer, nice to see you, to see you, nice.
Lovely Framus there. Sounds like a great band, I was supposed to be doing a gig tonight but it got pulled, so I can say hello.
Is your Dad still playing?
Steve.[/quote]

Hi Steve. Well he died some years ago, age 73, but he was still playing the double bass in his late 60's. He was a great entertainer. Maybe he's taken up the harp ? Rich

[quote name='Jam' post='451970' date='Apr 1 2009, 09:26 PM']Get me enough beer and you can call me whatever you like![/quote]

I prefer Kopparberg Pear Cider. Everyone should try it.

Anyway, Zoe has now said hello, and she doesn't need as much beer, and she hasn't got a french horn stuck in her mouth, so you're demoted to the back of the queue.

And, 200 + looks at this post, and less than a dozen replies - don't people know how to talk anymore ? I'm not proud - I'll talk to anyone.

So, we're getting a band together, playing a mix of Country and Western Reggae. We've got a Rastafarian singer, Markus, with a wonderful voice, a Welsh sax player ( the player, not the sax, although I suppose it could be from Wales - do the Welsh make sax's ? ) , a guitar playing bloke with 2 LL's ( who I used to play with 40 years ago, ( in a band, not any other type of playing ) and he's excellent ), a bongo basher, another guitarist who's god too ( sorry, he's good not god, 'cos that would make us quite a good ( got it right this time ) band, and when the drummer recovers from his, um, delicate operation, him too.

What's eveyone else doing ?

[quote name='Zoe_BillySheehan' post='450987' date='Mar 31 2009, 11:51 PM']HELLO!!! sorry!!!

Thank you Z - you've made an old man happy. How are you ? If there were a few of you, would you be asleep ( zzz ) ? R

[quote name='Jam' post='450913' date='Mar 31 2009, 10:00 PM']I'm not a girl but i'm clean shaven with long hair, hopefully I'll suffice?

Welcome![/quote]

Can I call you Zoe ?

I am thinking of getting my first effects pedal, and was looking at this. Anyone any comments ?

[quote name='Telebass' post='449966' date='Mar 30 2009, 09:33 PM']That seems familiar, somehow...

You've been peeking. I didn't copy & paste though - I wrote it all again.

I'm dissapointed - Zoe BS has said hello to everyone else, but not me. I feel left out.

so, like the 'my classical solo bass ...' and the video of you doing the tango ?

I seem to have arrived at some chat line !!

Joined last month, and this is really helpfull, for an old revitalised player. I started playing when my Dad bought me a Framus Star bass in 1963. Played for a few years, then haven't played again 'till last year. Now loving it - playing with a few friends, and collecting equipment - GAS is addictive. Now have Bob P's Hofner Club bass, a Fender Precision Lyte, still the Framus, and sorting amp and cabs.

I've already had a lot of help from this site, and I love the photos.

How do I get my 'personal photo' onto the pages - it shows on my profile, and where do the signature and other bits go ?

Roland Cube 30 Bass. Four months old, used for a few hours only. Lots of effects - can detail if required.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='446871' date='Mar 27 2009, 08:27 AM']You might not like the sound of the shuttle cos we all like different things. It is quite transparent and very articulate, some people like a wooley thud and its hard to get that.[/quote]
OK, thanks for your help
