Sennerheiser HD202 - £17 from Amazon... Great bass and sound quality.

On my 80's Tokai Jazz... 37.5cm from back edge of bridge pickup 31cm from back edge of neck pickup

Bassmasta has [url="http:///www.bassmasta.net/r/rolling_stones,_the/151971.html"]this tab[/url] - haven,t tried it myself tho'....

I don't get it... why the disdain? I really like U2 - have done for 25 years or so...

I'd be interested in picking this up if I could - it's just what I'm after... if Neil changes his mind, of course

If you are not using Vista, [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=38159"]this[/url] Tascam might be worth a look...

You can send that DI straight into the line/mic in on your macbook (with a [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mono-3-5mm-6-35mm-Socket-Adapter/dp/B000LATJC4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1235225810&sr=8-2"]1/4'' to1/8'' mono adapter[/url]) Not as good as a USB or firewire interface but it'll get you started with little outlay....

[quote name='bassman2790' post='415537' date='Feb 20 2009, 04:35 PM']I'm currently using Cool Edit Pro which only uses DirectX plugins. Is there an easy to use equivalent that uses VST's[/quote] How about easy to use ,yet powerful - unlimited tracks /routing and VST slots..... and will see most audio file formats and DX effects. I'm talking about [url="http://reaper.fm/download.php"]Reaper[/url], an unexpiring unrestricted demo - well worth the $50 registration fee... From the Reaper forum - [url="http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=563&highlight=free+vst"]The Good Free effect Plug-in Thread[/url]

+10000 for Reaper - so good I paid for it!

After trying out several DAW's I ended up using [url="http://reaper.fm/download.php"]Reaper[/url]. It is an unexpiring, fully featured demo that will let you work on those songs using as many VST's as you want.... Tip: Add the (included) Event Horizon2 Limiter onto the master track, set the ceiling at 0.01 the gradually raise the threshold until you have your desired volume....

[quote name='cytania' post='381688' date='Jan 15 2009, 08:23 PM']Thanks to my bass tutor for this. It's a simple funky line that that will give that 'dit-dat-dee-dat' 'Get It On' groove. ------------------- --2----------------- ---------4----2--4- ---------------------[/quote] I'm thinking that would sound a tad empty with just 1 guitarist..... I play this, shuffles it along nicely ------------------- --2-2----------2------ ---------4-------4- ---------------------

I sorted my jazz neck with the finest wire wool I could lay my hands on - worked a treat!

looks like [url="http://www.bassmasta.net/l/l7/159588.html"]Bassmasta[/url] is up and active again...

[quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='334304' date='Nov 22 2008, 11:28 AM']When I was younger, Bruce Foxton was God....the reason I play bass.[/quote] Yup, me too..

GFS have some bass pickups in their range now, the [url="http://store.guitarfetish.com/gfsmmproplal.html"]alnico MM pickup[/url] might be worth a punt at this price....

I use this method: Starting on the E string, fret on the 3rd - (as if playing a G) then tap on the string over the top of the metal of the 1st fret. If the nut is about right you should just feel and maybe hear a click indicating a small clearance... If the gap is too big, lower the nut/slot - no clearance raise the nut/slot. I've set guitars and basses like this for years now , seems to work well for me

I don't drink anymore and I reckon this is the cost of a hangover free morning Edit: Morning to you
