  1. Hi,

    I'm a 23 year old bassist with a load of gigging experience, most recently in a metal/djent band.

    Looking for a band to play with live, ideally something hardcore influenced. Have my own transport and full live stack.

    Playing wise, I'm a very rhythmic player and use a pick, I'm happy with polyrhythms and glued to the kick drum - but also good with difficult riffs. Can write music too.

    People seem to like lists of bands influenced by here so heres a few to give you an idea;
    Protest the Hero
    Sikth
    Throwdown
    Terror
    The Black Dahlia Murder
    Every Time I Die
    Dead to Fall

    Really keen to play with like minded people who want to challenge their playing ability and also have a load of fun writing and playing!

    Cheers,

    Sam

  2. Hi all,

    It breaks my heart to part ways with my rig, but unfortunately one must when deposits for houses start to come out of your bank account...

    I'm selling a virtually mint SVT2PRO Head and Some very good condition B410HE's.


    With the SVT2PRO I'll chuck in the 6U flightcase I got custom made for it for no extra charge - It has wheels to make it easier to cart around too!

    The 2 cabs are in very good condition, their is a dent on one of the ampeg metal plate logos on the front, but I have a replacement mint condition one which I never got round to putting on.

    The asking price for the head, I am looking for £900, a bargain considering a free flightcase for it too worth almost £100 on its own! (Collection only or max hour drive from Reading).

    For the cabs, I am looking for roughly £300 each.


    For anyone serious about tube tone, it does not get much better than a rig like this!


    Pictures to follow shortly - Please PM or reply if you are interested.

  5. Hey all, i'm having a bit of trouble finding bass string thicker than 130ish to tune a low B down to G# (trust me it was fine at A but you know guitarists..)

    Also more difficult to find as im playing a 37" scale too... :)

    If anyone could she some light on this it would be great!

    Always come back o basschat for these things because everyone is so helpful!

  6. Noted, I guess we just thought the delay over most of it would give a sort of added layer to the effect of the whole thing.

    I'll take note of that though and the compressing for when we properly record it as its just a demo attempt at the moment!

    Thanks for the feedback dude!

  7. Hey all just recorded a track with my band Silhouettes -

    [url="http://soundcloud.com/silhouettesuk/artificial-horizons"]http://soundcloud.com/silhouettesuk/artificial-horizons[/url] The track is Artificial Horizons

    The bass is a dingwall afterburner II DI'd through a sansamp if you are wondering!

    Feedback would be great on mastering effects and etc!

    If you like it I would be forever grateful if you liked us on facebook - www.facebook.com/silhouettesuk

    Thanks all!

    Sam :)
