Any progress? I can't wait to see this finished.

They sound awesome from the youtube clips I've seen, I have the standard BDDI deluxe and use the preset function a lot although I agree with the mid loss probblem. The VT would be my next step if they were cheaper.

Sansamp stuff generally has a good rep, try one out and let us know what you think!

I think so, Boss also do a Bassman stomp box.

[quote name='leschirons' post='961480' date='Sep 19 2010, 07:46 PM']Phew, that's a relief, after reading all the posts, it would appear that there's only me, and Bryan Adams doing Summer of 69.[/quote]

I've got to do it for a wedding. I hate most of the songs on the setlist.

I love mine but the loss of mids is starting to bug me a little. I'm thinking I should have held out for a Tone Hammer.

And yeah, I hear a little bit of compression but it's not too pronounced.

[quote name='cocco' post='961936' date='Sep 20 2010, 10:28 AM']Is it 34"? Looks short in comparisson to the jazzes.[/quote]

Coule be, the Jag guitar is shorter scale than other Fenders.

It's always tough when an instrument you've had for years starts to show its flaws.

Why not just try as many basses as possible, find one you like and see if you can swap it for something similar? It would save having 2 different kinds of the same bass.

There's videos on youtube of de-fretting a neck, you should use veneers in place of the frets which is where it gets difficult. Or it does if you're rubbish at woodwork like I am.

I emailed Jon Shuker about getting the frets taken off my old Vintage 5 string and he quoted around £70 which seemed reasonable. Might be worth checking out with your local bass tech unless you're good at DIY, otherwise you may end up with not bass.

I really liked the one I tried, (black), not exactly a vast array of tones but a nice dirty, woolly sound if you like that sort of thing. Cheap too!

[quote name='LawrenceH' post='948824' date='Sep 7 2010, 09:15 PM']Is it just me who reads this word and gets an unfortunate vision of greasy, bespectacled, long-haired, black t-shirt boys intently engaged in a long game of warhammer?[/quote]

Oi, that was me in my early teens (apart from the glasses).

And I was always more of a 40k man.

Sold pending the usual.

Love the time onstage, hate everything else about gigging, especially in the last 6 months or so. The only gigs I've really enjoyed recently have been Scotland (6 hours drive) and The Netherlands and Germany (even more). Sad really. Maybe it's time to bite the bullet and just play well paid gigs as a covers band....

No-one fancy a cheap violin they can put up on their wall to impress girls? And maybe even learn to play?

2 speakers taken from a Line 6 2 by 12. Well used but in good condition. Pay for the postage and they're yours.

Edit:- they're for guitar, not bass. I should have mentioned that earlier.

Love mine, especially modded to use the old LM308 chip as per the original Rats.

I think Caleb Schofield (Cave In, Old Man Gloom) uses one on his board for bass along with a Fulltone Fulldrive.

[quote name='kurcatovium' post='957603' date='Sep 15 2010, 07:49 PM']Wow, I used to play violin. Can you post some pictures? And what size are these?[/quote]

Google says full size. Pics when I find the camera to computer cable in my tip of a room...

Edit - Spoke too soon, found it.

Antoni ACV 30 for sale, not used much. I thought the move from guitar to violin would be easy. It wasn't! Bow is missing a few hairs but good condition otherwise. Comes with case, pitch pipes and a new tub of rosin as I lost the old one.

£30 + P&P

A friend is selling off the following:-

Full set of Control DC5 Drum mics w. hardcase - £70 + P&P (RRP £179)

TC Helicon Create vocal pedal, boxed - £80 + P&P (RRP £159)

PM me if you're interested.

I always use the following pattern as a warm-up, one finger per fret on the l/h, one finger per note on the right:-

a|----------1-2--1-2-3|
e|1-2-3-4------4------|

Start off slow and clean and build up speed and move it up/down the fretboard and across the neck. Helps synchronise your left and right hands too.

Try playing it backwards too!

I've recently bought a nice Streamer Pro-M off here and my bank account is looking a little bit sad. Add that to my cars MOT coming up, I'm looking at selling off some stuff, including my Rockbass Corvette.

It's black and active (bass, treble, pickup blend and volume controls), condition is pretty good apart from a couple of very minor dings and the usual belt rash on the back (odd as I don't wear belts). The output jack is also a little crackly but I'm thinking I can fix that with some contact cleaner.

Collection preferred as it doesn't have a case and I hate post-office queues with a passion.

I'm thinking around the £200 mark, pics to follow if anyone's interested.

[quote name='Joe Hubbard Bass' post='951749' date='Sep 10 2010, 12:53 PM']No, you should be counting once for every four note grouping.

With the triplets, you should be counting once for every three note grouping, but you are tapping the same pattern.

Hang in there!

Peace

Aargh, it's suprisingly difficult, even on the 16th notes!

It feels like it's doing my rythm skills some good so I'll keep at it.

[quote name='Joe Hubbard Bass' post='950754' date='Sep 9 2010, 03:56 PM']Hi Gareth

Are you able to tap and count the beats with the paradiddle pattern at 16th notes?

Peace

Joe[/quote]

Yeah, counting at each hit. Or should i be counting once per 4 hits?

[quote name='Joe Hubbard Bass' post='950429' date='Sep 9 2010, 11:40 AM']This time you will tap the same paradiddle pattern, except instead of playing them in 16th note you will play them in 8th note triplets.[/quote]

So where do the counts go in relation to the taps? Sorry, my knowledge of timing is notoriously flaky.

Swap it for the one on Stus amp when he isn't looking.

Are you wanting it so you can do this?
