I dont play anything technically challenging so I can rock out all the time.

Really tempted by this, need to buy a basshead this month.

I know someone who put casters on a fender bandmaster and rattled all the valves to death.

I have casters on my bass 4x12, and a cut up Warburtons bread tray for my guitar 4x12.

Didn't the bassist from Bloodhound Gang have a flamethrower bass?

...but with excessive distortion/od you can just shake a guitar bass and get the boss sound of the strings smacking against eachother.

Me getting a bass was entirely Krist Novoselic and Nirvana's fault.

Ah cool, what should I lash the lead coming from the bridge too then, the cold lug on the jack?

I have a P-Bass with a DiMarzio Split-P pickup in it, wired straight down to the jack.

When i've sheilded the cavity and the back of the plate will the jack fitting ground it? once the lead from the bridge is grounded too?

Thanks!!

p.s. is it just worth lashing the knobs back in even though they aren't used?

I do go on stage wearing scruffy old jeans and a grubby T-shirt and I've been known to gaffer tape the scrap on my instruments. My P-Bass has no gaffer on though.

my power amp has the following specs.

Specifications
4Ω stereo: 2 x 300Wrms
8Ω stereo: 2 x 150Wrms
8Ω bridged: 1 x 400Wrms
Max power: 800Wmax @ 8Ω

I run it into 2 cabs rated 500 @ 8ohms, so i get 150 watts per cab meaning 300 watts? is this correct?

picture?

Ahh yeah, i was looking at it as if the centre was the split between two 4x10s, silly me.

EIGHTY?

You won't have heard of any of my bands, we're all pretty small, I've just played enough gigs to spot if a promotor is gonna try and rip us off or not, playing your own stuff though, all you're really asking for is enough money to pay for your travel to the gig and your ale for the night, it's not in anyway a manner to make money, even when selling vinyl/cds/tapes and tshirts or whatever your wares are.

I remember my younger days when that was true. sh*t days.

Is almost everyone on this forum in covers bands?

Cause the world of touring underground/experimental musics is a world away from any of these stories.

I'll take pictures of my two Westones when I next go to the practice room, you'll all recoil in horror at the state of my Thunder I (G*****) though.

TWO STRING BASS? WHAT??

My first bass was a Westone Thunder I, and my second g***** was a Westone Thunder I. They're brilliant instruments!

"It's big, green and ferocious. Frankenstein's monster? Good guess, but no. Introducing the Fender® Sub-Lime™ ass fuzz pedal.

Set it at your feet between you and your speakers, and transform the sound of your bass with classic
Fender fuzz ranging from the barest touch of evil to an utterly seismic roar. Best of all, tailor your tone by setting the crossover frequency wherever you want the fuzz to happen--low-frequency fuzz, high-frequency fuzz and anything in between--all without sacrificing all-important low-end muscle and fundamental bass tone.

Dressed in sublime lime green, the big, heavy-duty cast design evokes Fender's great old pedals of the '70s and boasts an enormous control dial that fluoresces entrancingly from green to red as you

Simple volume and drive controls let you easily dial in the loudness and range of fuzz tones. Runs on 9-volt battery or DC power."

Anyone heard about or seen one of these? I'm quiet interested cause I'm a massive fan of the Fender Blender's harshness.
