I think sharay uses a Warwick rig

Tortex 1.14 for me. I also take a leaf from dimebags book and score each side with a Stanley knife. It really makes a huge difference to grip I have used the jazz 3 max grip and am pretty chuffed with them

Spinal tap without the lukewarm water of Derek smalls? - I think not! Or bad news without Colin Grigson? Doesn't bear thinking about

I have one of these for when my boys are asleep http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/electro-harmonix-headphone-amp-1318-p.asp

A quick google found this http://www.guitargeek.com/chat/complete-rig-27/robert-sledge-ben-folds-five-13094/

pretty much the list above

Or run over!

Because of the style of what we do, we are a little limited in terms of venues ( classic rock /metal), When looking for new venues, I tend to spend some time online looking at gig listings of bands that play similar music as well as tapping up friends in other bands, and our drummist calls them and gives them the chat We have a pretty good success rate

The chord bod 50 retails at £35 ish and is surprisingly good. Better than the odb3 IMO. The old dod bass overdrive, and bass grunge are also worth a look. they can be had relatively cheaply on eBay

Maybe the price of old DBS 7400s will drop now?

^ well said!

Do you have a budget in mind?

Perhaps it is mk1 I seem to remember a walnut plugged in - am I way off?

A different vallnott! Mk2?

i have a hustle drive and shimverb. Both are very nice pedals, no low end loss and sit well in a mix. Im looking forward to the pure octave, and the filter pedal coming out. for the money, they represent great value for money

These things are circular- there have always been times when the talk has been of how long will any instrument be around. The challenge is how we maintain relevance and keep up rather than wondering whether the bass player will be made extinct by x or y. In time it will swing back, but keep moving forward in the mean time

Isn't/ wasn't hooky an ehx clone theory user?

Really pleased with mine too. I bought mine at last years bass show. It's been in use ever since! You're right though- it's flippin 'eavy though!!

Tbh I've let my subscription lapse. IMO, the deal to resubscribe was not as good as the first time subscription. Surely it wouldn't be hard to offer even just a fiver off the price. (£38.50 + gift for a newbie vs £38.50 to resub?) The mag is perhaps worth the occasional one off purchase, but I don't believe it is as consistent as it could be. Obviously this is all my opinion, ymmv etc....

Essentials for me are a tuner, gritty low gain drive and chorus In reality I use these plus another drive and/ or fuzz dependant on the situation, wah, filter, delay, synth and eq to compensate for differing basses

Cant wait to try them myself now. Thanks for posting the vid dude!

Gear top!
