If you're based in/near Sheffield you're more than welcome to try my Rockbass Corvette (active) out if it helps. I don't slap so I can't be much assistance.

Billy Gould, straight from Wiki:- "For most of Faith No More's career, he used a Zon bass, but started with an Aria in Faith No More's early days. In the music video for Evidence[2], he can be seen with a Fender Jazz. He began with Peavey amplifiers, then moved to Ampeg amplifiers. He is known for employing a wide variety of playing styles." +1 for big fat strings, high output pickups and a dist. pedal or something to give you a bit of extra growl.

I thought this was the other Attack Attack! for a second. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCSW2fVYgIQ"]Eurgh[/url]

[quote name='SignsOfDelirium_bassist' post='910870' date='Jul 31 2010, 01:26 AM']this years Metal Camp[/quote] When people ask me what kind of music I play, I'm going to start saying 'camp metal'.

"mu·si·cian    /myuˈzɪʃən/[myoo-zish-uhn] –noun 1. a person who makes music a profession, esp. as a performer of music. 2. any person, whether professional or not, skilled in music." I think I'm somewhere in between definitions 1 and 2....

Along with Chopins Raindrop Prelude, one of my favourite pieces of piano music. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmsSfJiGVJU"]Clicky[/url]

[quote name='escholl' post='905051' date='Jul 25 2010, 06:35 PM']The Artec ADL-2 is supposed to be nice, and is fairly inexpensive. Not used one personally though, just heard good things.[/quote] I think I read somewhere it's not properly analog although that may be incorrect. I use a Carbon Copy and am very happy with it.

[quote name='Musky' post='903761' date='Jul 24 2010, 08:33 AM']Try it and see. I've plugged an 18V active bass into a power amp in socket (it wasn't a Peavey) before and it worked fine, with just the master volume as the only working control. I guess the results you get will depend on the output of your bass though.[/quote] Will do, just bought a Sansamp DI and I thought it might sound better than the onboard EQ as well as being a DI box. [quote name='danbowskill' post='903800' date='Jul 24 2010, 09:49 AM']had a old tnt years ago,loved it nice punch,chorus was pointless to me.ahh memories [/quote] Yeah, I couldn't find a usable sound for the chorus. Odd.

Anyone with the older model TKO, there's 2 1/4 jacks that say 'pre out' and power amp in' or similar. Does this mean I can use a DI straight in and bypass the amps EQ section?

[quote name='DaveMuadDib' post='898797' date='Jul 19 2010, 12:03 PM']I did the 'C4 mod' on my old boss tremelo pedal, in which you simply cut out the c4 resistor and it instantly sounds a million times better! Just goes to show they don't always know what they're doing. Same reason i sold my old marshall guitar amp - let's make valve distortion redundant by implimenting a 2 second delay and fadein when changing channels. Ridiculous![/quote] I did the C4 mod too, surprising amount of difference to the pedal. I also did the Ruetz mod on my Rat and didn't like it so much. I ended up restoring the resistor and replacing the IC with the original. Sounds loads better now.

Warwick Corvettes have the J/J pickup layout. Probably not entirely what you were after but worth a look.

Hey, free shipping though

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='870912' date='Jun 18 2010, 04:39 PM']Well they said the GT Retro is basically the GT120 and if they could they wouldn't make it anymore has it has flaws in it's design as it's basically a historical amp which is why the demand for them is still high and why they still make it.[/quote] The Retro uses NOS circuit boards (the only Matamp that does I think), the GT1 uses Matamps turret style board which is much easier to build and repair, should something go wrong.
