yep no bargain now!

[size=4][sub][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Good Review, I have the same and had problems getting the sound i want, but found cranking the bass right up with some mids into 2 1x15's gives me almost the sound im after. Never having owned an ampeg before i was really surprised at how definative the "ampeg" sound is, but ive got used to it and rather like it! Dont rate the compressor much so i use a markbass compressore and one of Dave Halls valve pre amp pedals. I keep mine in a laptop bag which it fits perfectly.[/font][/sub][/size]

[i]good for a polish, bit greasy mind..ooeer missus.[/i]

reckon id make the trip for a day session!

A bit ignorant when it comes to these.

or seymour duncan quarter pounders, but i think you may struggle for 50 squid, i think £80 might get you awesome set of pups.

ah christ, these things are idiot proof so everyone will tell you what they're currently using is fine. So currently i am sporting a boss Tu-3 and its fine.

i think for an eleven year old, he's an incredible talent, once the flashy "look at me" stuff wears thin I imagine he'll grow into an amazing musician.

ok so he may have some effects on his bass (not sure on that one) but here's a great example of 3 guys playing where the drums and bass create a groove and space for the guitarist without the need for anything fancy (check out the guitar solo part at 2.00 minutes), Im sure there loads better examples but this one came to mind first!

gotta say i just concentrate on getting in the groove and being as tight as possible with the drummer while the guitarist strokes his pe*is, sorry his ego with the solos. Too many effects just make a mess IMO. Saying that a little compression helps.

ta for that, now watching!

thanks guys, lots of good choices, especially like the primal scream stuff, very dancey yet rocky (just watched the sreamadelica making of as well!) Chilli peppers also tick right boxes. Anyone do rocked up versions of disco numbers? I always fancied some high camp rock up of a) Born to be alive [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UaJAnnipkY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UaJAnnipkY[/url] yoyu make me feel mighty real [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkrKYvJpxcg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkrKYvJpxcg[/url] oooo get her!

just thought of one Lost art of keeping a secret [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l0nzPpvbFs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l0nzPpvbFs[/url]

just watched the making of Aja by Steely Dan on You Tube, now feel strangely humbled and inadequate, don't know why!!! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH3l4mjh2y8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH3l4mjh2y8[/url]

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1339338359' post='1687007'] What about Jailbird by Primal Scream then? [/quote] thats brilliant - exactly what im after! Thanks

[quote name='Monckyman' timestamp='1339336034' post='1686967'] The fact that you think Blockbuster isn`t cheesy precludes me offering any sensible advice. [/quote] ok point taken! Do you have any suggestions then? Gratefully recieved!

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1339344139' post='1687120'] There is a great place in Bournemouth which would be ideal for a bash. Its a rehearsal rooms, very nice and fully equipped. Its also next door to a huge music shop with some great basses. All refreshments on site. I think we need a minimum of about 20 guaranteed from Basschat to make it interesting for them. [/quote] sounds great but last time i checked Bournemouth aint in the South West!

ok so anyone got any actual suggestions then? based possibly from thier own set?

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1339250271' post='1685899'] My offer still stands ... [/quote]
