ZMech Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 [quote name='Buzz' post='505212' date='Jun 4 2009, 01:26 AM']Judging by some of these memories and stories, I've been doing Uni wrong. Might scrape a 2:2 (deffo got a 3rd though) as it was bloody boring, did get drunk a bit, but I seem to be lacking the oodles of sex and general fun. I can only assume that if it's meant to be the best part of my life I might as well pick a fight with a train now.[/quote] I didn't know saga did uni's as well as cruises. Where are you? My first guess would be Imperial as I've got a friend there who says it's quite dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peted Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 When I went to uni I bought a cheap 1x10" 15 Watt bass combo that I could carry around in one hand. It was great to carry it around campus to have jams at parties and meet people. With all the social activities you get involved in at uni you don't want to be sat in your room practicing with headphones! If you really want to keep your playing private then I recommend the Tascam Bass Trainer as an indispensible tool. But seriously, do yourself a favour and buy a little combo and you'll be the life of the party! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year ive just used a little markbass combo (mini 121p), sounds great and also soo easy to get around on the tube! Havent used headphones just kept it down to a reasonable level......however i had Janek Gwizdala around, and he played it on 11. flat mates werent pleased. i was. have fun!

mcgraham Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 +1 for Pandora PX4D. I had a mixer in first year of uni, then got a Pandora at the beginning of 2nd year (4 years ago). Still going strong. The only thing that grates on me is the built in noise gate. Even with the noise reduction option rolled down to 0 there are still some artefacts from (what I can only assume) is the Analog to digital converter. But for uni, it's great! Highly recommended! I used to take my bass to uni every day and find a place to practice between lectures. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
