My word , there's a lot of folk reading this .

[quote name='essexbasscat' post='1194869' date='Apr 10 2011, 06:17 PM']Also a nice surprise playing Dave C's Vigier - a real balance of tone and volume across and up the neck.[/quote]
Well you should have played it at the East Anglian bash a few months ago , though I did hog it a bit
Which one did you try of Dave's , his older brown one or the new blue ? They're both great , aren't they .

Couldn't make it , but sounded great . Hopefully be at the next local one .

[quote name='Krysbass' post='1174498' date='Mar 24 2011, 12:42 PM']Have to say that I was annoyed by the reference/picture of the "Aria Pro II".

The blurb referred to John Taylor and Cliff Burton as noted players - fine. But both these guys played an Aria Pro II [b]SB[/b][u][/u] and this was not the bass pictured. This information is so well-known in the bass domain that it just smacks of plain laziness to not have it presented fully and correctly.

Rant over.[/quote]
It certainly makes you wonder if they have a clue , doesn't it .
That and the Precision being modelled on the Strat

I'm not normally a fan of this type of music . But I like this alot .

42 this year , and I think you're wrong there mate .

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='1150234' date='Mar 5 2011, 05:06 AM']Its a Series 1 or a later model Energy.[/quote]
Yeah , I think it's one of the later Series 1's that were wooden .
The Energy's , I think had the more rounded horns - much the same as the Stealth1 .

As stated , Statii Form is the place .

Just sort of confirms what I already knew of my feeble level in musicianship .

F**k a duck . This is an absolute steal . Doubt this'll last long .

Look at the SFX web page .
I bought the Micro Fuzz and it's great . Just added a Micro EQ after it , and it just enhances it even more .
Also Max does the Micro Distortion . That's my next purchase .
Great guy to deal with , home grown pedals and top notch quality - says it all .

[quote name='monkey_dancer' post='1130519' date='Feb 17 2011, 01:28 AM']Can the pedal in the loop only be used when the GR is switched on, or can it be turned on any time?[/quote]
That's what I'd like to know also . As I know the GR2 can , but Phil , is this the GR2 or a GR transitional . Cause the GR2's at Bass Direct have GR2 written on them , the last knob to the right is different , and they have a wet/dry blend .

Off topic - slightly

But some Amps have their controls around in a manner that seems 'wrong' to me . ie Aguilar . Treble , Mid then Bass , when virtually every other manufacturer starts with Bass onto Treble - left to right .

After watching that clip , it's not his thumb he'll be polishing .

[quote name='Bass Culture' post='1116275' date='Feb 5 2011, 10:07 AM']Mark,

Ref your comment that Max doesn't make a Chorus pedal - he does, or has done. It's not a production pedal but I know he'd make one up again as I enquired myself last year. Hell, if we both get a request in, he might bring it into his product list!:




All the best,

Mark[/quote]
I've asked him a couple of times about a Micro Chorus .

He's developing one as we speak I think .

This will probably be my third order from him when it hits the page .

[quote name='dood' post='1103484' date='Jan 26 2011, 12:32 PM']Yes, Bryn was very helpful! Though I sold my cab before getting a cover![/quote]
Yeah I keep meaning to do that .

PM'd

If I had the spare cash , I'd have this like a shot . This ain't gonna hang around for long . Free bump .

Not exactly flavour of the month , but there's still some guys on Talkbass who mention the Eden 212XLT as being one of the all time top cabs .

I know what you mean , I always say 'bass' , but the bottom line is - it is a guitar (a bass guitar) .

By just saying bass , people may think , "bass what ? Bass clarinet , Sax , Guitar , drum ?"

I don't give it a thought now and the tool analagy is spot on .

We shouldn't get too precious about a word .

First gig with the Great Gramma pad , and it made a big difference .
Wooden stage that made some notes sound quite choice (played here a few times before) , but with the cab on the pad it was all cookin' .
Must say I was a bit sceptical at first when I bought it sight unseen having never tried one before , but I'm doing every gig with this from now on - great bit of kit .
Good gig also - always a bonus .

[quote name='Jacqueslemac' post='1086012' date='Jan 11 2011, 08:21 PM']First time I've been on my PC since Sunday! Thanks to everyone for a great day.



Dave.C - Thanks again for the flats. I'll let you know as soon as I've fitted them.[/quote]
Yeah that was a really nice gesture .

There's a good comunity on here , and the Bashes just highlight that even more .

[quote name='StevieD_FenderP2009' post='1085104' date='Jan 11 2011, 04:10 AM']Hi

I'm looking at buying an old Aphex Aural Exciter Type C but on eBay there's currently a Type B up for sale so I was thinking of getting that instead. To me, it looks like it does the same thing but I was wondering if anyone knows of any difference between the 2 models

Cheers
Stevie[/quote]
Might be wrong here , but didn't one have the "big bottom" setting , and the other one not ?

[quote name='essexbasscat' post='1083476' date='Jan 9 2011, 07:28 PM']Now have GAS for an Eden WT400 Traveler and an Epifani 4x10 cab (talking myself into believing I can cope with the bulk), that combination is just nice, warm and versatile. Spot on.



T[/quote]
Yeah sorry about that , it's all my fault It is a good combination , and the 410 is one of the lightest around .

Just a thanks for Rik for organising it all - though I'm glad no one came into the toilets whilst I was handing over that money to you ... I mean , I know we're all brothers and all , but someone might have got the wrong idea

Sorry I didn't get to speak to everyone there , and to those that I did , I can safely say that I've forgotten your names already - memory like a sieve . Name tags and monikers next time I think .

Spent some quality time with some great people , what more can you ask for . Though I'd have liked to stay longer , but it's the only day off in the week that I have free , so had to make a bit of a concession to wife and kids .

Mainly only tried Dave's Vigier , and got sort of swept up in it a bit . Other nice basses there expensive and cheap , but I'm blinded by graphite through and through . V bass was good fun .

Always a pleasure to catch up with His Royal Highness - The Dood of Hethersett , and playing through His rig (probably be different at the next bash ) . It's nice that a TV star can still mix it with the general public . Good to see ya mate .

All in all a good day , look forward to the next one .
