Just ordered a rackmount flightcase for the head and a dbx166 compressor and a dt1000 tuner to join it

Only just saw your post I've now bought a dbx166 second hand off eBay for £50.

I just got a dbx166 after having it recommended. It's a stereo comp so I'll be running them in series. First stage will be working as a harsh limiter pre-effects and then there'll be a gentle compressor inserted post-effects

Arch Enemy stuff in C-F-A#-D# tuning.

I first learnt bass on a 5 string. Hardly use the B though

An interesting idea. You'd need to use an E string instead of the B as it'd be pretty hard work getting it up to a D. But I like your thinking...

Know your pieces. That's where the majority of your practice needs to go. I'm doing Grade6 for drums. Sadly I'm no longer safe in 4/4 timing. 7/4 timing amongst others is hunting me down!

Alright. I'll post up in the wanted section. Also after a rack tuner but my minds set on a Korg

Curly cables ala Brian May maybe?

The title gives it away I'm in the market for a rackmount compressor to use for bass. Any recommendations? Looking to spend about £100 at most. Seen a few alesis models that look good but I've no idea to their performance with bass.

Alright. I sent you a PM back wayne.

Good shout. Might get me one of those.

Anyone else thinking a 2x10 or 4x10? I know someone selling a Hartke Transporter 210 (but it's 8 Ohms)

Can't recommend this enough. [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Planet-Waves---Circuit-Breaker-Cable~ID~3893.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~P...ble~ID~3893.asp[/url] Really good quality cable, very sturdy. And it has a circuit break switch on the guitar end so if you use multiple basses there's no need to go and turn off your amp etc. Just press the button swap over and then press it again for instant action And what's more, it's 30ft

Worn frets, a bridge with saddles that don't stay in place for long (due to worn screws) and it's hard to tune / keep in tune (possibly because of the bridge). All the problems could be fixed easily but tbh I don't feel anything for this bass so I do wonder about selling it on and combining the earnings with some other money and getting another shiny thing.

I highly recommend that Shine as well. They feel great to play on and give a lovely tone. Quite rare to pick up but if you dig around enough you should be able to find one for sale somewhere. I'm not a big fan of the Fender, bought it with high expectations but it doesn't wow me. I'm currently considering whether to try and get it to feel 'just right' but having work done to it or whether to sell it on.

After a while picking up various bits I've now finally got a gigworthy set of kit. It might not be the best in the land, but it'll do for me Shine Extreme Series WEB845 Fender Jazz Ashdown MAG210T Deep Ashdown Little Giant 350 Boss ME-50B
