[quote name='pitchard' timestamp='1416092199' post='2606899'] Good to hear people are trying out Royal Blood at gigs. We also play 'Little Monster' in Drop D (as I believe many of us are!) Had a night off and what was going to be a rejig of the pedalboard just became a jam session of various riffs, so I put together a few into the video below. It's a good laugh and definitely worth a go if you're in a small band/one guitarist band to really beef up the mix!

Sounded bloody good to me! Maybe you need some new speakers?

I love going to music shop's and trying out diferent basses. I travel most weeks for work in the uk and abroad, so try to find music shops to take breaks at.this has given me the opportunity to try literally thousands of basses. In the squire bass range I have found the CVs to be the most consistently above average for tone, playability and finish. They IMHO are almost allways better than MIMs and some times ive picked up a USA after a CV that wasn't as good. I have found the VMs to be generally good but not as consistent as the CVs. I personally have a squier bass special, quiet a few mods done to her that is just fantastic and has been with me longer than any other coz its so good.

ok, I cant tell any difference !!

Hey Mingsta, any more thoughts on the pitchfork? Mite go n try one tomoz n see how it compares to my micro pog .

I love my P !

I have just put a high mass bridge on my MIJ 62 reissue P, sounds just like it did before I put it on thank god, coz I love this bass ! However setting it up was a lot easier and unplugged I could hear and feel an increase in sustain. And it looks a hole lot better than the tarnished old tin plate bridge that fender put on.

I'm liking that lots

I built my own, well a head. Single 12AX7 pree and a single 6550 in single ended class A. I have an Ashdown CTM15 too but thats been sat in its box since I built my own. Hook it up to a 1x12 Ashdown VS cab and it sound's great .

Have a look at the new Electro harmonix pitchfork, might do the trick at not a silly price.

Looks to me like they have put the Salami pedal into a stomp box. the Salami worked great with bass when I tried one so recon this will too. bit gutted though as I bought a micro pog last month !!!!

had a few small practice amps and all were quiet disappointing to be honest, so I now have a TC electronic BH250 2x8 combo small light and under £250 best sounding amp I have owned IMHO. tried the two small PJB combos (the size of a shoe box) high quality but no caricature to the sound, found the Markbass to be the same although it was the 601 that I tried. both are very clean sounding and both are very expensive ! there are the new table top type guitar amps you could look at too, things like the Yamaha thr10 and the vox soundbox mini, both have bass guitar amp models built in and a range of effects but at £150 to £200 a go I cant see the point myself except possibly for the run on battery portability that they offer. there's also the Roland micro bass RX in that category too, they got a lot of love at one stage so I got one. returned it after 2 days! Took a Roland micro cube with me to the states when I went to work there for three months and that did much better than the bass RX. Only one way to know that's take your bass n go try a man as you can

just had a look at these on bass direct's website. they look nice 419 for the 550 and 499 for the 800, theres even a video

I use the EH6550, good solid sound to my ear, how you set the bias (HOT OR COLD) will change the sound so worth spending some time with your tech during setup. 6550s are known for big power with little distortion. But remember distortion is what gives your amp caricter so an expensive set of hifi tubes is just a waste of hard earned wonga.

That photoshop job looks very cool. Thinking of getting one of these myself, I was thinking antique cream pearl and black hardwear.

Get a line6 m5, bought one three weeks ago to add another reverb and found the most fantastic range of overdrives and distortion's on it. Give one a try and be prepared to be blown away.

I use wood glue and matches, haven't had a problem with this in 35 years ! works a treat.

Got a set on my Landing L1 + a de-tune [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/k56ALid.jpg[/IMG]

Tape wound strings all the way, love how they feel and sound.
