In terms of sheer quality and sonic gorgeousness, [url="http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/j36.jpg"]my Shuker custom 5[/url]. In terms of bang-per-buck, Sire V7 Marcus Miller.

I've always been partial to 12/8. It's a bouncy happy signature. ☺

Please don't do that skank. If you took a gentleman's walk into the woods with your Webley, I don't [i]*snif* [/i]think I could carry on... [i]*sob* [/i]

I have three that see regular use:[list=1] [*]the built-in one on my Pod XT Live; [*]my trusty old Korg DT-7; [*]a cheapo clip-on that does ok with all strings apart from low B. [/list] The Korg is the only one I use for anything delicate such as setting intonation.

Definitely go along.

My mate had a silverface Fender Twin and used it in exactly the way mentioned by Mm20 above -- standalone for lovely crystal clean tones, or with a TS9 for those dirty moments. It was the perfect rig, apart from the fact that the Twin weighed as much as a truck and only had one poxy handle.

I love Yamaha basses. Near unbeatable VFM in my opinion.

I'm still trying to work out exactly what makes it 'rare'... apart from its condition

He gives good bassface

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1481059415' post='3189433'] Why the snobby downer on chorus? Chorus and octave, learn Sledgehammer and have a blast. [/quote] ? I have no downer on chorus. Quite the opposite.

"Do you admit to posting a thread entitled 'omg this drumer is at teh wrong gig lol' without using the forum search first?"

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1480964279' post='3188499'] Steve Vai once met me after a gig! [/quote] Yes I did meet you, and I'm a member on here too! although I generally use this alias. And JTUK.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1480969111' post='3188588'] unless you want everything you do to sound like the theme music from Bergerac. [/quote] If all my fretless playing sounded like Mo Foster, I would be happier than a pig in sh*t.

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1480883004' post='3187826'] looks the part...just need to get some sound out of the sucker... [/quote] Oh good god, that is p0rn0graphic.

Antex irons are pretty good, my old XS25 iron was reliable and consistent. I have a Weller soldering station that I, ahem, [i]borrowed[/i] from work and it's lovely. Worth looking for a similar setup on fleabay IMO if you're planning to do a lot of work in the future. I also have an Antex Gascat gas iron which is great for portability.

This isn't mine, but mine was identical. My first decent amp, a Laney ProBass 150w 4x10 combo that my wonderful amazing parents got me for my 21st birthday. It was a marvellous amp, and served me well for many years. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v169/jazza42uk/Mobile%20Uploads/bassanlage-laney-pro-foto-bild-116106841_zpstxwf3urs.jpg[/IMG]

+1 for the Sire V7.

Everybody's calling it a 'non-story' and 'not news'... well given that it's in the Magazine section, I don't think it's actually intended to be news, just an item of interest.

Nice article about The Munch [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-38135674"]here[/url]. It raises a very good question... how long does it take to stop being the hired hand/new boy/etc. and actually become part of the band?

[quote name='bassjim' timestamp='1480328632' post='3183320'] Worst gig?=.......Pub in the middle of nowhere.No audience. Just the bar staff. And a cab driver taking the numbers up to three briefly but apparently sent to the wrong pub. This is what can go wrong. Any thing else by comparison is welcome. [/quote] Treat it as a rehearsal.

Any news?

[quote name='Les' timestamp='1480219589' post='3182601'] in my hurry to get my vampire teeth out [/quote] If I had a tenner for every time I've used that old excuse...

+1 for the Chowny CHB-1. It's not the woofy 60s monster that the retro looks might suggest, the tonal range is quite astounding. I eagerly hope for a 5-string version, for which I would be at the front of the queue.

You did say "If you've got any more questions..." -- maybe they don't?
