[quote name='AndyMartin' post='731366' date='Feb 1 2010, 09:06 AM']I always feel a bit uncomfortable about owning lots of stuff so I've got one bass, one amp, one cab and one sound and that does it all for me. I still get GAS but I can usually reason it away and be happy with what I've got.[/quote] I am exactly the same. There is gear that I would dearly love to have but because playing bass is a hobby and hence not essential, I'll only buy what I can get by with (there's also the fact there are 3 young 'men' in our house who consume vast quantities of our money). I have one bass, a practice amp and a multi-fx pedal. The pedal is an indulgence. Until something changes I won't be getting anything else.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='730767' date='Jan 31 2010, 04:55 PM']It's quite endearing to see he actually fluffs at times. Gives hope for us mere mortals. [/quote] He fluffs, is that a technique, like slap?

Brilliant mate, real chuffed for you. Glad you posted, the forum's been like a roomful of expectant fathers.

He's here. The excitement

Sorry, but seen it done it Like sh1t have I Although I have seen it before.

I think I've visited this page more than any other today. This is simply torture

I've become a big fan over the last month, since Max posted this thread. Simply love the start to Goliath on the latest album when the bass comes in. Aggressive and attacking. Can see what you mean about it being a little generic, silddx. I wasn't fully taken when I initially listened to them, but something clicked and was so impressed that I now have both albums. The second album is a more accomplished and rounded album, but Themeta the title track of the first album is a great track. EDIT: Now I've developed a taste for Australian hard rock and metal bands.

This is taking too long. Someone go around his house and give him a nudge, I'm on tenterhooks.

Hope all went well. We all need an update.

To return to the OP, flatties are all very well but I find my playing flounders somewhat when using them!

My strings have always sounded best with the amp turned off and the bass safely tucked away in its case. Playing then results in a quiet thump!

I've always had to buy my own, My bassing has been frowned upon.

Sounds like he's cooked your cab so IMO he owes you a new cab. It broke down while he was using it it's his responsibility to stump up for the repair or replacement. Had a similar incident many moons ago. I used to leave my amp (a huge warwick combo) at a mates where we used to jam. Went for a jam one afternoon to find some -------- had completely fried it. The lousy piece of excrement who used it refused to admit responsibility and so I had to fork out for a new combo. I wish I'd done what Mr Delvar suggested and p1ssed through his letterbox.

WHERE'S MAX. WHERE IS HE.
