[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGdQUMzRVxA[/media] Does anyone know how he get's this crunch tone? [/quote] Orange amps, playing hard, and his sansamp bass driver? I want to know too! That tone (and the like motif thing) is awesome!

[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1334605086' post='1618481'] Oh, I'm really sorry about that. Did you drop it in front of a speeding bus? [/quote]

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1334451302' post='1616447'] Bi amp! Bass sounds awesome with guitar based overdrive but you do lose those lovely lows [/quote] Recently I was Tri-amping ala 80s Billy Sheehan/Troy Sanders/Chris Wolstenholme it sounded like THUNDER It was amazing, pretty impractical but amazing haha! I prefer it to "bass" distortion as well, too buzzy, clunky and fizzy most I've used

I really want a 6 string fretless neck through, shame they don't have them anymore as they company switched factories so they are limited!

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1334321567' post='1614474'] Stop pulling his leg! That was an Ampeg one off 32x10 they made to look very cool at a NAMM show or for some dodgy cockrock band way back when. If Wayne actually has that rig he needs a flat bed and a forklift to get it to a gig, and he'll need to knock a wall down to get it into the Dog and Pony on the highstreet for the soundcheck [/quote] It's a 36 10 is it not? With a 1000W all tube classic head made for NAMM IIRC

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1334169676' post='1612028'] And here's me thinking you are the blonde geezer in your avatar [/quote] Some people actually think i'm the sun glasses

[quote name='Jack Cahalane' timestamp='1334146458' post='1611526'] So am I, bloody hayfever. I look Chinese. [/quote] So do I. But that's because I'm part Chinese.

Anyone heard any updates on the Barefaced '69er? It's a cab I very much want to try!

[quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1334006968' post='1609682'] Here's a none too brilliant photo of my TRB6P Mk1. Moving house seems to mean that my lighting equipment has got a little 'lost' [/quote] Gorgeous!

[quote name='thunderbird13' timestamp='1333968492' post='1608797'] Actually I'm the opposite - I find it a bit prentious when people use crotchets, semibreves and quavers.At least when you talk about 8 ths ,16ths etc it means something. Crotchets etc just make you sound like you;ve studied in some classical conservatory in Vienna [/quote] [quote name='thunderbird13' timestamp='1333968492' post='1608797'] Actually I'm the opposite - I find it a bit prentious when people use crotchets, semibreves and quavers.At least when you talk about 8 ths ,16ths etc it means something. Crotchets etc just make you sound like you;ve studied in some classical conservatory in Vienna [/quote] It's just the way it's done in Europe, I've always found saying things like "64th notes" and "128ths" and a personal hate of mine is "decrescendo" Though things like "8ths" don't always make sense depending on how obscure/modern the music is Plus, adding numbers to music, gets me confused like that theory lark However studing at the Vienna conservatoire would be a dream come true for me were I talented enough, so I guess it proves your point haha!

[quote name='Jayben' timestamp='1333966102' post='1608731'] I'm not saying people who say 'bass drum' are [i]wrong[/i] or [i]right[/i], I'm simply saying that the phrase 'bass drum' irritates me.. It doesn't HAVE to make sense yanno [/quote]

[quote name='musophilr' timestamp='1333903282' post='1608003'] We've had that conversation recently. That might have been Leo's intention (point taken from whoever made it so eloquently), but no it isn't, not any more. Its function in a band is nothing to to with that of a guitar, and physically you can't play it like one. It's an electric bass so get used to it! [/quote] It's a bass what? What family of instruments is it from, it's the bass of the guitar family, and thusly you can play it like a guitar as it is one, as you can play anything however you want, or at least that's whats been said for years "Its function in a band is nothing to to with that of a guitar, and physically you can't play it like one." Surely that's down to the individual, the type of music, the musicians etc etc so is hard to label? Maybe my [s]analness [/s]view stems from my musical background, I play the Bass Trombone, I sing Bass in a choir, I played Bass Clarinet, and always refer to the family of instrument, at least contextually, If I were to refer to any as just "bass" i'd probably confuse myself haha! I know that sounded really aggresive and prickish but that wasn't my intent! We all have different views and that's good or the world would be too boring! Music is a free world so I guess it's a matter of "Lets call the whole thing off" Again no intention of seeming aggresive or attacking, but my skills with words are limited [quote name='bobbass4k' timestamp='1333929137' post='1608475'] What the hell does "In the pocket" mean anyway? I know what people mean when they say it, but I don't see the relevance. [/quote] It's a reference to "The pocket" in Amercian Football which is the area the QB is meant to be in (or something along those lines)

"He/She plays the bass like a guitar" "Just get a guitar" Or similar phrases. It's a Bass Guitar is it not? Also, when people say "bass is about the groove" so bass solos should be "in the pocket" (not a fan of that one!) etc Most people seem to think a bass should have 6 frets and 2 strings. Some of that is hyperbolic of course

[quote name='bigsmokebass' timestamp='1333860170' post='1607434'] [url="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KHUb-V3HUzM"]http://m.youtube.com...h?v=KHUb-V3HUzM[/url] Good sample of what Gibson came up with last year. For me, check out buckethead, he plays a custom les Paul which is a 28" scale, instead of a 25.5 or 30". Sounds immense. James Hetfield has used one too But I think, notoriously, mike mushok from staind has used many baritone guitars as well as signature models. I've owned a gretsch baritone, hefty piece of kit but tone and feel to it was awesome, like mentioned. . . Use a capo and you have a guitar or naturally play bass lines on it. [/quote] The buckethead is actually a 27" or at least the newer ones are and yes they are awesme xD Love Baritone/ long scale guitars

Ah ok, thanks guys! I was getting the impression that they are pretty transparent cool! If you have a head you really like the sound of with your bass then the Barefaced cabs seem like the ultimate cabs really, Moos3h, I'm similar, i've always liked hi-fi sounds, I'm very much for the advance of musical technology (however in cabs it's very sorely over looked which is why Barefaced and Alex get my full support!) used rigs weighing nothing, neo 212s and a micro head etc... Found the sound I really like with a 410 and an all valve head, I was shocked (as was my spine )

How does a Barefaced cab "sound" like does it have any notable colouration of the sound? The only reason I'm using a 410 is because the particular 410 I'm using, I really dig the sound (and it was/is well in my budget) it's quite snarly. Though the Big twin seems to do everything I could want from a cab ever! Especially as someone who changes sound, and uses a big frequency range often (for different styles, session playing etc)

[quote name='Lorne' timestamp='1333823476' post='1607089'] Yep, 2 B.C.Rich Bich 8 stringers here, a 1979 and a 1985 Supreme (Neck binding, cloud inlays on an Ebaony fretboard) Both are set up as 4 stringers [/quote] You have amazing taste in basses sir!

I dabble in Sitar, you get used to it, still bloomin' hurts though! Now when Guitarists complain, that's another story Best of luck with the show my good man,
