  2. [quote name='Geek99' post='616395' date='Oct 4 2009, 12:08 PM']There's a site at haaz.se where you can download patches - worth a look[/quote] haax.se Thanks for that
  3. I'm using a Zoom B2.1u as well, although at the moment it's mainly to keep peace at home whilst practising.
  4. Hi, you could try something like the Alesis Line Link [url="http://www.alesis.com/linelink"]http://www.alesis.com/linelink[/url] that will connect to the desk and out to the laptop via usb. Mark
  5. +1 for Stuart Morrow, Mark Bedford, Paul Simonon, Frank Bello & Jah Wobble. I'll throw another Brit in as well, Andy Pyle, he has played with (not a complete list) Juicy Lucy, Savoy Brown, Blodwyn Pig, Wishbone Ash, The Kinks, Rod Stewart, Gary Moore (Midnight Blues Band) and a few others. A very solid, unassuming, but extremely talented player. Mark
  6. I'm going to take a better picture of this 1989 Korean Squier P Neck is closer to the size of Jazz, better pots and wires and Seymour Duncan pups
  7. I've been using Picato flat wound stainless steel for about 20 years (yes I've used more than one set before anyone starts ). No buzz or rattle at all, unless I screw up. Cheers, Mark
  8. For me it was slowly learning to hate the classical guitar which I started at around 10. Being told to go and practice really doesn’t fill you with enthusiasm. I went through the motions for another 6 years or so and a friend said that they needed a bass player. I naively thought “how hard can it be, it’s only got 4 string ffs!” god I’ll never make that mistake again. I stuck with it from there, the biggest influences on my playing were/are in no particular order Steve Harris, Duck Dunn and Andy Pyle. Starting again, well about 6 months ago, I never stopped listening to music just trying to play it and damn has it ever got more complicated! Mark
  9. [quote name='Sibob' post='582186' date='Aug 27 2009, 09:33 AM']Hi mate, I'm just in High Wycombe! The guy at WAL might have been Stuart Monks? Si[/quote] Hi Si, I had a think about that last night, I'm pretty sure his name was Carl, he lived in Chesham. Mark
  10. [quote name='King Tut' post='581961' date='Aug 26 2009, 10:24 PM']Hi Smashie and welcome. Whereabouts in Bucks are you mate?[/quote] In one of the small villages around lately buggered heading towards Aylesbury
  11. [quote name='skankdelvar' post='581881' date='Aug 26 2009, 08:59 PM']The B100 - is that the one that's about the size of a washing machine? If so, I used to have one.[/quote] Smaller than a washing machine, but about twice the weight M:)
  12. Hi Mark or Smashie here, I’ve been lurking for a while and I thought I’d better join in. I’ve been playing on and off for the last 22 years (mainly off for the last 10!). Usual stuff work, band members moving away and replacements being tossers (or it could have been me, not sure on that), wife etc. Starting to play again and I’ve realised that I shouldn’t have stopped, I know what to do but the fingers can’t seem to manage it! Bass wise nowt special, an absolute peach of a squire p-bass with a neck that was taken down to more jazz proportions by a nice guy from WAL basses. Sorry I don’t remember his name. An absolutely unique H|H B100 combo, it really is a one off and I’ve never heard another one like it. Oh and a Selmer treble and Bass MK11 that’s waiting to go off and get some work done on it. I need a cab for that which is how I found this forum looking for plans. Cheers, Mark
