[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1469641428' post='3100001'] It's great to see the rig standing out so much on a popular TV show! [/quote] Some plum shots of the Barefaced logo when TC was playing in the YT clip. Great exposure, congratulations.

Go for the matching Laney. You like the sound and at under £200, the price is quite likeable too it seems.

[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1469607405' post='3099633'] Do you NEED an 8x10? No. Do you WANT an 8x10? Yes. If you can afford it without causing discord or discomfort, go for it. YOLO. [/quote] That pretty much sums it up.

All my stage clobber is to be found in my wardrobe . My current band don't really do image as such. You'd be hard pressed to distinguish them from someone who was on the weekly supermarket shop. :-/ I on the other hand have exceptional taste and dress accordingly. Unless it's a band with a unique dress image, most stuff is readily available on the high st, markets, online etc

Say something outrageously rude about a moderator, that should get you a ban

[quote name='wishface' timestamp='1469562739' post='3099436'] Presumably if the pickups are he only inferior aspect of the sr300 one could later replace them? [/quote] The only replacement pick ups I've found that would fit an SR300 are the Bartolini MK4 soapbars. The ones they use in the SR500. They're about £200 for the pair.

[quote name='wishface' timestamp='1469542093' post='3099200'] How is the Ibanez sr500 superior to the 300? I bet if i'd played them, I wouldn't notice much of a difference. [/quote] The SR500 is made from better woods, but that's marginal tbh. The most noticeable difference are the electronics. The pick ups and eq pre amp are much better on the 500. Personally, if I could find a second hand SR700 I'd grab it. They go for about £250. It's basically a 500 with a nicer finished body. Brand new they were upwards of £500. My only criticism of the 300s are the weaker pick ups

I found the TRBX504 I had to be one of the blandest instruments I've ever owned. Very disappointing bass

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1469373513' post='3097780'] Billy Sheehan has a system that is very well known, nearly as much as the bass he uses, yet there's plenty of times he's been seen with different amps and cabinets. Saw a YT video a while back where I think he was using a Trace head lol [/quote] Exactly. I saw a clip of him on one of the Winery Dogs tours in the far east where he was using an Ampeg set up. From what I gather Billy really only takes his bass, pedal board and possibly wireless monitoring gear with him on tour and all the other stuff is hired in. Pretty much standard for musicians as it beats hauling cabs and amps around. Using the gear they endorse isn't always practical. His band mate Kotzen uses various amps and cabs. In the US he's been using his signature Cornford gear, in the UK I think he was using Cornford heads with Marshall cabs and everywhere else it was all Marshall. Prior to that he was using Fenders. That's why he's got his fly rig pedal, as long as he's got that he's fairly happy

[quote name='wishface' timestamp='1469220355' post='3096842'] this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Marcus-Miller-sire-electric-bass-V7-Swamp-Ash-4-NT-Gigbag-/222187858556?hash=item33bb6daa7c:g:CFMAAOSwtnpXiTmC [/quote] That's the one. The ones with a rosewood fretboard are only £25 more brand, 3 year warranty, send it back if you don't like it from Thomann. The maple board ones are around £360 now i think.

One of the better rig rundowns, the ones done with the techs seem a bit naff sometimes. Seems a decent bloke and not too hung up on gear, especially amp stuff or changing strings. I feel justified in not changing mine now

Sire Marcus Miller V7 Jazz. Brand new £325, imo better than the MIM Fender equivalent Jazz...which will set you back about £50ish more even s/h.

I contacted Ashdown about my ABM as it makes a strange background noise. I got an email back saying what it might be, suggested I get 'it looked at'...that was it.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1467858799' post='3086785'] Most of the folks I consider influences are on average 10 years older than me. Paul McCartney Chuck Rainey Larry Graham Stanley Clarke Francis Rocco Prestia Jaco Carol Kaye Sorry, nor accepting any new applications at this time. Don't get me wrong, I know Billy is a 'killer" bass player. Blue [/quote] Stanley Clarke, Jaco and Francis Roco Prestia were all born in 1951, Sheehan in '53. Almost half your list are only a few years older than you, no where near 10 years

I find his passion for playing and wanting to give his time to give advice really inspiring. I'm not big on Mr Big but i do like the Winery Dogs. I've seen TWD twice now and they were brilliant both times. Although I must say Kotzen in that band is awesome. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1467824637' post='3086567'] I know he's a great player, but he's not relevant to me, wrong generation. Blue [/quote] He's 62, same or similar age to yourself.

Works fine...if your surroundings are completely silent. I'd question its value in a practice room or a gig. It was all over the place when I tried using it, and when I checked against my Zoom pedal, my bass was way out of tune.

If it doesn't feel correct, and having had the other wrist done you'll know, keep going back. Sometimes you have to be a real pain in the arse. All the best

It's very similar in size and weight to the Aguilar SL410x. Having got rid a 410 because it was so cumbersome to lift, not only the weight but the size, having seen Dave Boonshoft quite easily pick up an SL410x, I'd quite happily get one of these new smaller 410's. They're probably not much bigger than the 212s everyone is getting now.

If I were the defence team I'd just play this and leave it at that.

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1465486596' post='3068690'] I like it! Milwaukee is now part of Basschat folklore [/quote] It's where TIM lives now

Vile little man. Exactly the sort of person the world can do without. I'd be concerned if I thought I needed to be intimidated and bullied in such a manner to up my game.

I thought I'd seek a bit of advice before deciding what to do. I bought an Ashdown ABM 500 evo iii 2nd hand. I plugged it in on getting it home and I'm getting, what I can only describe as, a sort of distorted hiss in the background when a note is played. When you mute the string it stops. It's very noticeable. It happens regardless of settings, even with low input gain, with flat eq, valve drive, compression and sub octave off. I'm a bit stumped. My first thoughts were the valve in the preamp, but as it does it when the valve drive is off I'm somewhat lost. Any pointers would be great. Thanks

I bought one a few weeks ago. It does what it says it does for a very low price. I'll always carry mine in my gig bag as an emergency DI box. I didn't read the instructions, it's a fairly straightforward pedal, I just play around with it to find the sound I want. It certainly adds depth and warth to my signal. A keeper for me. EDIT. Mark me down as not disappointed

I've gone through a few changes over the last 18 months. I had this. [attachment=220784:IMGP2974.jpg] Then this. [attachment=220785:20150503_101208.jpg] And now I've got this [attachment=220786:IMG_0269.jpg]
