Already tried a factory restore but no change. Taking it to a tech guy who said if it's the motherboard then there's no much hope of fixing it below the cost of a new one. :0(

Hot bass? Sorry not sure what that means. I've got Sterling Ray 34. Appreciate your advice about the impedance issue but don't want to buy an extra pedal; surely there's one out there that is compatible with an active bass and won't give a noticeable drop in output or low end.

I've heard some fuzz pedals aren't suitable for active basses so does anyone know what ones are. Obviously I don't want one that washes out the bottom end. BTW do active basses pose the same problem when using fuzz or any ohter effect on a GT6b multi fx processor? Cheers

Hmmm....I'd like to think that someone wouldn't take advantage of another on here to offload a faulty item but he only had it a week and sold it on so I guess the guy who sold it to me had the same done to him. The back panel has obviously been off at some point because the screws were not put back properly Any idea of how to go about finding a tech in the Hampshire area? [quote name='King Tut' post='889946' date='Jul 8 2010, 10:34 PM']Sounds like an internal problem that would need a tech to repair. Maybe the seller didn't rip you off - maybe he/she didn't know it was faulty - I try to think the best of people! If it's any consolation, the synth sounds are sh*te anyway!! Col[/quote]

All other effects work but the bass synth acts just like having a loose instrument cable (although it's not) it crackles, comes on then goes off intermittently. I bought this unit from a user on here and until now had no reason to use this particular effect so only discovered today that I had been ripped off! Any help to sort would be appreciated. Thanks

Guess no-one needs a bass player in Hampshire. Must be drummers who are in demand this year....lol

Thanks, but not after the Not Foo Fighters version. As requested in my original post: 'a copy of that played on the artiste's recording (Gerry Rafferty) rather than an improvised bassline'

Thought as much....no-one has learned it :0(

With regards to earning money, you will need to get in a decent band to do so. It takes a lot of practice & commitment to get a decent band together so they will want to maintain their reputation....you will be expected to be up to scratch in this case. As a guitarist, I've been in an established covers band for over 6yrs. We don't need to rehearse unless we are introducing a new batch of songs so if we were auditioning (but we're not) and thought someone fitted the bill they would have to learn the setlist properly in their own time within a limited period. Only then would we be prepared to pay out for a studio for a full band rehearsal and that would be the only one; if they were'nt gig ready we'd use a dep until we found a replacement. Sounds harsh but we've done our share of shelling out for rehearsing to get where we are. We definitely wouldn't consider a bass player without decent gear. If it's beer money you're after, I'm sure there will be students around to form a band and get away with just enough to do that in your area. Good luck!

A mixture over the last couple of weeks: REHAB WONDERWALL CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED lOVE BROWN SUGAR ALRIGHT NOW SUPERSTITION ECHO BEACH SEX ON FIRE TEQUILA

[quote name='acidbass' post='186662' date='Apr 27 2008, 06:46 PM']In the last week of so I've learned/relearned - 'Too Young To Die' - Jamiroquai 'Sir Duke' - Stevie Wonder 'Rio' - Duran Duran Lots of nice muted notes and frantic playing - great for a workout! I think I'll start most of my warmups with one or more of these tunes![/quote] Ah that's good....can you send me the tab for Rio or do you just improvise?

Oops, Baker Street of course. What's the bets none of you know it....lol

Apologies if this is the wrong place to put it but as there isn't a section for tab requests I didn't know where else would be best. If anyone has/knows Gerry Rafferty's version: a copy of that played on the artiste's recording rather than an improvised bassline I'd appreciate it. Thanks

I know one who's looking for a band. PM me with details.

pmsl @ carp on your lens....sounds a bit fishy to me!
