What kind of work do you need done? I know a chap in Plymouth that's done some great work for me in the past.

There's a unique charm about the feel of these basses that I've always liked. They sound great too

It's really strange how things can pan out like this, small world hey? Congrats on getting it back

I've been using a GK 800RB for almost 3 years, which is the longest I've ever settled with one amp for. I've had nicer sounding bass heads but I really do appreciate this amp for how reliable it's been and it always sits nicely in the mix.

What if we had some kind of thread for reviewing venues that BC'ers have played at. There could be a template for the review that is carefully thought out to avoid potential slander issues whilst at the same time providing the forum with useful information on experiences. Maybe just something simple that rates a few key criteria out of . Perhaps it's better to treat this kind of thing as a 'review of a venue'. People review bands, I don't see why can't we review our experiences too. It's obviously completely wrong that anyone should work an agreed job and then get ripped off. I'd want to know about venues that mistreat the musicians they employ. Knowledge is power, or something like that.

I'm currently running both the Octave Deluxe and the Micro Pog on my board. They're very different pedals. I like the Octave Deluxe for how meaty and dirty is sounds, whereas I tend to find if Pog is switched on, my delay pedal is probably on too, since the Pog lends itself nicely to ambient styles - but that's by no means all the Pog can do. The tracking on the Pog is far better than the Octave Deluxe, although that's not to say the tracking on the Deluxe is bad, it's just the Pog can do the whole polyphonic tracking lark. I know I'm pretty much repeating what thisnameistaken has already said here, but I thought I'd just share my thoughts as I run both of the aforementioned pedals.

I started on guitar 11 years ago, then a few years later I discovered how much I enjoy playing bass

Oh dear. Goodbye student loan.

[quote name='mike f' timestamp='1321020990' post='1434446'] Try the MXR Octave Deluxe pedal. I play my 74 Jazz through mine and, having tried numerous octave pedals, this is by far the most consistent and reliable for live playing that I've found. It also records very well. Most importantly, it sounds fantastic. [/quote] I'm a big fan of the MXR Octave Deluxe, but I think it behaves a lot nicer in an effect loop. I run mine in a Barge loop on my board and blend in a bit of dry signal to tidy up the sound. Great pedal though, sounds evil!

Jilly's on smack

What a cool looking bass! I have no advice on pricing, I just wanted to share my thoughts on that 4 string mojo-machine!

Can we re-do this as a poll? I like the note of A, mostly the one on my E string.

That's a very refined setup for Juan

Practice, practice, practice I don't think Ray 5's are the easiest to slap on, but with practice you'll get the angles just right with your right hand. If you learn to slap well on your 5 string, going back to a 4 will feel so easy in comparison.
