I take it you get enough bite from the p pup to balance the mud?[/quote] Not as muddy as you may think..its clearer than a regular Gibson EB neck sound...does shift air though...its quite Moogy..synthy in the lows.

You've got the mk1 and mk2 Sheehan Yammies.... What are the main difference's All i can tell is the Paint and scratchguards and the P/U's (Dimarzio P and One to Willpower sets)

[quote name='Jase' post='477235' date='May 1 2009, 06:34 PM']Custom? Like whale attracting frequency strings? Scallops I reckon! The one thing I could never suss was how to run a clean channel as well as evil distortion and The Model One whale bass.[/quote] Scallops are pointless....Just install higher frets. Stringwise Its something like a 120-125 for the drop C tuning....then slightly higher guage for the A,D,&G. yes I know I could just buy a 5 string set and ditch the regular G,but I dont see the point. Im talking to a couple of people. The dist/clean,is in Sheehans case..I think from the Pearce thing he has,I dont think they make them anymore...I have an old signal chain diagram in an old issue of Bassplayer ..I'll have a peek. What happend to Pearce anyway? Im going to run the Fartbucker clean into a compressor...then Glock to a 1x15...and the split P goes to a chorus into the Tech21 into a 4x10.

Custom strings is the next...Im almost being courted...

[quote name='Jase' post='477206' date='May 1 2009, 05:57 PM']Yeah, the Willpower lines up better. What else are you doing to the bass?[/quote] Flamethrower,Mantrap,Poison dart gun......Mustard gas dispenser....

[quote name='Jase' post='476689' date='May 1 2009, 09:04 AM']Tidy Job Ross! I miss mine so much it's unreal. Did you do it yourself? What do you reckon on the two amp thing? Much massive bass on the way!! [/quote] Nope,Let Jim onto it....The Neck P/U IS phat..so much so I just let loose on it solo'd and its like having an extra octave down low. I chose a Willpower over a Model one,but kept the regular model P.....Still havent finished modding this Bass mind... Tonight I Bi-amp,just wondering if Ive enough cables....

This threads for Jase to have flashbacks with....

I know..I know.... VERY lodged....Ive been gazing at the Glock homepage...I'll be honest..its route 1 really,not as if you've got a wall of eq to balls up... Blame bloody work and bank opening times for the delay,of which I am very very sorry,there's no Natwest in my town...but hey,we made it,and Im a jumping bean of happiness.

[quote name='SteveK' post='471425' date='Apr 24 2009, 12:38 PM'][b]"Bulk up"[/b]? [b]"Put on a couple of pounds before you go"[/b]? Can someone please explain why? I've played these places many times in the last 25 years or so, and never once felt it was necessary to bulk up. Never once heard anyone say, "We should've bulked up before leaving home". These countries have food, it ain't expensive, and some of it is quite edible. Steve EDIT: When I say, "these places", I am referring more to the former Eastern Bloc countries.[/quote] In 'metal' circles...lets just say,at my level Im about to experience..... catering is a very low priority for promoters towards bands.

Kilt ...no Speedo's Irony is,I was doing those yesterday,during a good dose of exercise. You should try it.

Good luck Pete....

Black Sabbath by....just to flesh out a loooooong set.

You found the Manual yet fella??

Try Behold ....The Arctopus Not really Bass...Its a Warr guitar..mentalists I prefer Jean doing his solo thing. (And NO that does NOT include that super Mario theme vid)

Im shocked at why everyone thinks its de-riguer to take drugs,in being in a band. Tad backward really.

Anyone else use one,Ive just bought Flankers... ITS A MAZE ING!!!

Like the bulking idea...bit of exercise,making sure no gig is a rusty tired affair.

[quote name='12stringbassist' post='470180' date='Apr 22 2009, 11:13 PM'] Ooops! Not a bass! Ah well....... never mind! [/quote] JUDAS!!!! (Nice Gretsch.....)

WATCH the best at it...you can get a ton of knowledge from just seeing how the technique is performed. Start with Larry Graham.......and Louis Johnson.... Youtube has a ton of stuff......

[quote name='maxrossell' post='469377' date='Apr 22 2009, 10:41 AM']Hmm. When I was a teen all I wanted was modern-looking eyesores. I actually had a really sweet Hohner fretless Jazz copy in white with a tortoiseshell guard, but I traded it in for a hideous Hohner B-Bass V just because it was active and had a through neck and five strings. But at the time I thought the Jazz bass was uncool, and modern basses were cooler. I didn't realise that ten years later it would be pretty much the only bass I'd consider owning. I think people who know what they're doing stick with these vintage-looking Fender-style models because they're as close as you'll get to the original electric bass - The '51 P, the Precision and the Jazz, you can't really get away from how damn close to perfect they were to begin with - as with guitars, the only real alternative was the Gibson take, set necks, shorter scale-lengths, humbucking pickups and so on, but less democratic and more "luxury". You look at what happens with basses today: The ultra-modern, "exotic-fish-nailed-to-ladder"-style custom 5, 6 or more strings and all that, ultimately what they are is the same notion as the super-strat, i.e. you take the principle that was established with the Jazz bass and you push it so far into nerdy tonewoods and active EQ gadgetry that you can't even begin to imagine a style of music complex enough to warrant it, just like when you get a guitar that has 10 pickup configurations and a coil-split and a massive whammy bar and locking this and that and the other, and a top that looks more like a 15th century French dresser than a musical instrument. They're second-generation variants that started out with the ultra-light super-japs and went from there. On the other hand, whatever Gibson started for some reason never really happened. A few people still play Grabbers and T-Birds and you might even see a Les Paul bass here and there, but Gibson isn't really a name that springs to mind when you think "what bass could I get". Not sure where I'm going with this, but I guess that although the teen market is something that obviously needs to be catered to with the Yamahas and the SDGRs and the Rockbasses and so on, I think that most of the kids who stick with bass will eventually arrive at the same conclusion, which is that there's a good reason people keep going back to the originals. AND might I add, when you look at the signature models that are coming out these days that are aimed at teens, the dude from Green Day, the dude from Blink 182, the dude from Fall Out Boy, they're Fender Jazzes and Precisions.[/quote] Guilty..and yeah I agree,Ive made similer mistakes (bought a 886 in 98,when I could have shelled another 200 and got a Alembic Spoiler) BUT..Like Warwick..Fender hurl anything ,including cash, for people to appear in magazines holding their instruments....And I play Fenders too.

My vote goes to the Ibanez Soundgear 800. Great Active,mass produced,roadworthy bass from Japan.
