sold a pedal to graham and found him very easy to communicate with which made everything very easy, hope you enjoy it

For computors your going to need something with a) lots of power and b ) lots of memory. I would personaly go for a mac just because windows is flooded with viruses that have ruined my laptop countless times. Also make sure with whatever software you have it has plenty of room to breath (how much memory it requires). At a school studio we were often faced with a blue screen as the computor just lacked the power for all the plugins and software.

I do love them bricks! Especially mine with the high action that no one else but me can play

I have the LH500 which has the valve pre amp and i adore the clean tone it has. Also i owned the hydrive 410 which was amazing and delivered all my tones perfectly. I only sold it so i can buy the hx112 cab (when it comes out!) Iv played on a fair few rigs and i would only really sell up for a markbass rig.

Just had my first 2 hour lesson with jake and really enjoyed it. The guy is fantastic, he has loads of patience and is a great player. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the area that is after tuition.

After a quick google iv found that theres an ampeg cabinet called the SVT 808HE. Theres someone selling this for £450 on this link. [url="http://www.aberdeen-music.com/forums/equipment/33360-ampeg-cab-sale.html"]http://www.aberdeen-music.com/forums/equip...g-cab-sale.html[/url]

I played a lost prophets shinobi dragon something at the Shed as the first song because it was in drop D. I was 15 i think and i had learnt the song in my bass lesson 2 hours previously and as you could imagine it went very tits up and my poor p bass fell straight off the strap i had borrowed as i had forgotton mine. And we played infront of 2 bands and someones mum cool eh?

Pause the vid at 26 seconds and it looks very similar to this: [url="http://media.photobucket.com/image/guy%20pratt/rslick/IMG_8937.jpg"]http://media.photobucket.com/image/guy%20p...ck/IMG_8937.jpg[/url] and i have had my eyes tested this year and their perfectly OK

[quote name='bassicinstinct' post='914052' date='Aug 3 2010, 05:03 PM'] Doesn't look much like him to me. [/quote] Comparing that to one of the photos on google images im pretty sure that is him

[quote name='cheddatom' post='913555' date='Aug 3 2010, 10:01 AM']I have two sets of drum mics, 4 nice vocal condensors, plenty of dynamics for the cabs, cables, pre-amps, and I can record up to 24 channels into Cubase at a time - all for under £1k.[/quote] Just to have 4 vocal condensors for under 1k is pretty good going, my hats off to you sir

Doesnt she endorse levison blade?

Iv just looked through the whole 16 pages and i love the fact that so many of you were like me and whinged about EMA for the 2 years i was at school. But how many of you are in the new and much worse situation where people at uni get £2900 grant based on their parents income for the same reason. I of course didnt get it and for that reason couldnt afford the rent while everyone who did have it funily enough bought lovely new equipment. Having said all this im a spoilt brat and although i work, my dad gave me £200 so i could get my latest addition, my Warwick thumb fretless NT5.

You need a Peavey, as this guy will now demonstrate: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSeLqqGHRgA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSeLqqGHRgA[/url][/quote] that is some very very depressing funk, i woudnt play that at a funeral

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='911725' date='Aug 1 2010, 10:34 AM']You can only play funk on one of [url="http://www.bem-music.com/list.pl?id=109956"]these[/url]. On any other bass it just doesn't work, I've tried.[/quote] Wheres all the pickups gone

[quote name='Alien' post='911585' date='Aug 1 2010, 12:29 AM']A '62 Sunburst Precision, strung with flats, and a ludicrously high action. End of discussion. A[/quote] I agree for soul and modern pop funk (will young, VV Brown). Especially when played near the neck but then iv never gone towards the bridge on my p bass becuase the tensions too much. Again i think it completely depends on the sub catagory. A Jazz Bass can do anything though. The best thing to do is to try many many many basses and buy one on feel and build quality. Sound can be changed by technique (right and left hand) and pickups/ pre amps.

What kind of funk? Soul, disco, jazz? For Chili's, Michael Jackson, Chic, Sister Sledge, KC & sunshine band, and jamiroquai you cant go wrong with a Musicman stingray or a 70's reissue jazz bass. Ampwise, anything except Ashdown in my opinion. I use Hartke because they suit the 70's funk vibe best for me. Mark bass are awsome too though

If your doing your whole band be prepared to spend a lot on mic's and proofing for the drums alone. And don't forget you dont have to buy the big brands for everything. M audio have made some great recording hardware recently.

[quote name='gjones' post='911023' date='Jul 31 2010, 10:38 AM']If the bridge pickup is in line with the tone control it's 70's spacing. The picture of the 70's Squier shows the pickup in a 60's configuration but that doesn't mean much because the picture on the Fender website shows the Fender Geddy Lee bass with a 60's position as well but if you check out an actual Geddy Lee you'll notice it's futher back towards the bridge (plenty of pictures of actual Geddys in the for sale section).[/quote] Your 100% correct. Il just have to wait until its in the shops.

that jazz bass looks amazing! But does it have the 70's bridge pickup spacing? I cant tell from the picture wen i compared it to the 60's Classic Vibe.

[quote name='bubinga5' post='910531' date='Jul 30 2010, 06:57 PM']i agree with this totally Pete..nothing worse than funk too fast!! that and a bassist with a Burberry cap on.. [/quote] when you say too fast, i think for funk & soul most tower of power is pretty fast but IMO it grooves and sounds amazing

When i looked at fretless basses recently i found that the ones with an ebony fingerboard were far superiour than those with maple or ebonal necks. The ebonal neck on the squier i thought was particually naff sounding. I would assume your budget isnt quite enough but the Warwick fretlesses are amazing if you saved up.
