just compared the specs of the p basses (classic vs RW) and they're all the same so it is just the looks thats different. These RW basses do seem to sound killer although i cant buy one as the dakota red custom shop i tried has made everything iv played since slightly less enjoyable than they should be.

when buying these basses from dealers such as nick guitars you have a bit of protection. As its a registered company it must offer you services and guarantee's that a private seller can get away with not offering. You pay a bit more but feel safer about parting with such an amount of money.

did a short tour in cornwall over the summer. Lessons learnt; fish and chips down there are damm tastey. Also, take swimming shorts as you never know when you will need them and when the time comes that you need them and dont have any.. You either need to pay well over the top for some new ones, buy asda ones that look like they were styled for angus young or wear boxers and casual shorts and be uncomfortable for the rest of the day

yh im playing on silver slaps, the effect of the rosin is gone within 10-15 minutes of playing

every time you just come to terms with something in music it unravels something else and after three years of studying at a music college i dont think its possible to ever know everything and successfully use it. If your playing jazz your in for long roadtrip. You need to listen to as much of it as you can as often as you can. Transcribe licks, analyse chord charts and buy mark levine's jazz book of music theory.

sweet, cheers warwickhunt

iv got the lh 500, a 500 watt 4 ohm amp going through two 112's. Do i connect the 8 ohm inputs on the cabs, or plug both separately into the head at 4 ohm?

iv got a mate who did a tour with jedward last year. He never talked to them and really enjoyed the experience

i did have the problem with the skin at the top of the nail bleeding however, after lots of hours practising iv become more accurate with my technique and theres no longer a problem

i think the mix is great daf. Through my cheap headphones it lacks in bass and is a tiny bit tinny, but when i play it through my moniters the bass is very clear and defined. Unlike mine your bass has great long resonance! the playing by everybody involved was great as well, looks like you've got some talented colleagues

i use a £20 korg one on my double bass which is great if i need to quickly tune before a practice. Wouldnt use it on a gig though

really enjoyed the first song but then for me it went out of my ears' comfort zone

i loved it when jay z did the back in black riff at glasto. One of my all time favourite moments. The sound you've managed is wicked though, im guessing its a home studio? if so your one lucky bugger

i was excited to try out the new shop in epsom. I know a basschatter works there and i dont think he was there when i was today. Firstly i had always been desperate to try a sadowsky, secondly i wasnt going to buy one today but they wouldnt have known. I asked to try a UV70 4 string which for a start was marked up as an M5-24 and as a result had the wrong price on it, about £400 more than it should have been. The bass was ok but i was keen to try out another UV70 and a RV4 to get a better idea of the differences. The guy helped get the basses and put me in a very nice booth with a decent TC stack. This UV70 was over £700 cheeper than the wrongly marked one even though it was exactly the same apart from the rosewood board and colour. The RV4 was not set up propperly. Silly low action and as a result buzzing on the upper frets making it difficult to play properly. I told them of the mix up and the guy said he had no idea about the basses but would look into it. Then i asked the simple question of what colours are the RV4's avaliable in? He had a 20 second look and replied saying he couldnt find a way to find out. It could be a really good shop but when people might be spending near £2000 on a bass these issues need to be sorted. I think if i get a sadowsky it'd be better from here or the gallery. I did like the sadowsky's but i think i might look inot just installing the pickups and pre on my tokai. Anyone else had much experience with Guitar Guitar?

i went to order some ER 15's. Then i found out after the mould that my ears are too small so they made me some pro 1's. These are the best investment iv ever made, its made practices and gigs much more bearable. The thing with my pro 1s are is they are the size of a 5p coin whereas my drummers ER15's are like £2 coins lol But even if your not playing that regular, the moulded earplugs are worth every penny
