[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1476173708' post='3151881'] I play originals so I just do what I do, there is no tone to replicate [/quote] Also. Sounding like me is fairly easy.

Sennheiser HD280

I hammer the crap out of mine with a plectrum, and the coating has lasted better than I expected.You can always touch them up with black felt pen...

Sturm und Drang Thrashing

Yes, you're all playing the wrong way round.I'm right handed and play L/H bass.

No.Power rating of the speakers is unimportant, as long as they're both 8 ohms they will both receive the same amount of power fro the amp.

Dodging my parent's fists.

Never needed or wanted a custom made instrument, but I've had more than a few repairs done. I chose my luthier because she's really really good and lives just up the road.

[quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1474845514' post='3141045'] The bass player from Mega City 4 was well known for disliking stage divers and other pointers who'd scramble onto the stage at their gigs. His solution was a large booted foot on the offender's arse and then shoving them into the wings. [/quote] That was always my approach. In fact when we supported MC4, myself and Gerry compared notes as to the best technique. Place the sole of the boot upon the intruders botty and shove. Although I didn't try it at the Bikers rally we played. I let the big hairy chap announce the raffle.

Have you simply asked the sound man why he is consistently and persistently providing a mix that both you and the rest of the band aren't happy with ?

You've found a very specific resonant frequency.Was the sub on the stage as well as your cab ?

16 ? 1978. The Stranglers

Or Discharge's Aint no Feeble Bastard.

Hawkwind's Orgone Accumulator usually does the trick.

Depends on the profile of the gig, I like a belt and braces approach but being left handed I can't usually scrounge another bass at short notice so I have a spare. Plus it looks cool on stage.

Nice, but I'll stick with the Monotron for now..

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1469610955' post='3099659'] Thanks! Nasty electronic stuff was the mainstay of the original DIY cassette scene back in the late 70s and early 80s. I think that the fact my bands recordings were different, having guitars and "songs" certainly helped us to get noticed back then. Do you sell many cassettes these days? The Terrortones cassette does reasonably well, but I think a lot of that is due to the fact that it comes with a download code and you get 5 tracks for less than the price of a 3 track vinyl single. [/quote] Not that many, I've not put much effort into it recently since other people started putting my stuff on their own labels, plus downloads are a lot easier and cheaper ( that's a whole new topic...) but one of my colleagues sells around 30 a month on average.

Primark.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1469571018' post='3099535'] You are already too late.... On a more serious note: What's the label? and do you have a link for the tapes for sale? I ran a cassette label for a couple of years in the early 80s. [/quote] [url="https://noiseresearchinstitute.bandcamp.com/"]Music | NOISE RESEARCH INSTITUTE[/url] It's nasty electronic stuff mostly

I run my own cassette label and I don't want these bloody hipsters making cassettes fashionable again.

[quote name='darkandrew' timestamp='1469235028' post='3096921'] Is that the same Dave Allen that produced the Cure and the Sisters of Mercy? [/quote] No, that was David M. Allen. Different person.

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1469116065' post='3095907'] Recently we had a TNT140 in our local paper. By chance I bumped into the bloke who bought it who said he'd paid £80 for it. Are they any good? [/quote] Yes.They are.

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1469026463' post='3095197'] Surely the only option for a 90's bass combo isn't on there! The Peavey TNT 150! [/quote] Yup. The only reason I got rid of mine was I traded it in for a Peavey Mk6 stack.

They turned out to be hippies.

[quote name='Bass Culture' timestamp='1467203708' post='3081880'] Response - it's supposed to be like that, that's the 'antiqued' version of the bass. [/quote] No, it's the faulty version.
