[quote name='stingrayfan' post='50716' date='Aug 25 2007, 10:54 PM']It's a shame, cos when he holds back, his fills are great.[/quote] I couldn't agree more. I find his widdling really annoying.

I know there are a few people on this forum that are into this kind of instrumental music. These guys are really worth checking out- www.myspace.com/russiancircles It's their first visit to the UK, they've just played a few dates with Tool. I'll be at the Exeter gig.

I'm currently using Logic Pro with a little M-audio interface, it's awesome.

[quote name='Marcus' post='49994' date='Aug 24 2007, 10:35 AM']# 2 - It's "Bass" for christ sakes why do we all get so het up ! Nobody dissed your Girlfriend (Boyfriend) # 3 - This forum gives people the opportunity to offer stuff for sale, nobody has to buy it at the sellers price or any other price. I can ask any price I want for anything ! you can choose to buy or not. I'm sick of reading smart arse comments from interfering busy bodies giving their opinion of somethings "value" or pointing out an online price it's worth what the buyer is prepared to pay for it. # 4 - Why do people feel the need to offer opinions, comments, criticism etc on for sale threads, there are plenty other discussion areas on this great forum far better suited to debating the far end of a fodera....[/quote] Spot on. -

I know a guy that has a 2x15 ashdown cab, which is in an 8x10 casing. He manages to lay the 2x15 across the back seats of his Corsa.

A thumbs up for Bernie Goodfellow and EBS
thumbo replied to wateroftyne's topic in General Discussion
I've met Bernie a few times, he's an absolutely top bloke. He's incredibly passionate about what he does and really knows his stuff. -
This might be worth a read to give you a little insight as to what other basschatters use [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2022"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2022[/url]

Curtis Mayfield's "Move on Up", Who Dunn'it?....
thumbo replied to Josh's topic in General Discussion
I've never heard any Curtis Mayfield before but I'm diggin it. I want to buy an album, which one is best to start with? -
I'm thinking about giving my Thumb Bolt-On a bit of surgery. It's always played so nicely but I've never really liked the EQ and the lack of a mid control. Has anyone got any suggestions as to which 3-band EQ and pickups might sound decent in this bass? The first setup that sprang to mind, although I really don't know what these would sound like together, are Nordstrand jazz pickups because I've only heard great things about them and an Aguilar OBP-3 pre-amp. Does anyone have any experience with this combination? cheers

check out week 29, that's probably the ugliest thing ever invented.

[quote name='Bidd' post='41687' date='Aug 5 2007, 07:47 PM']Very random game on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis called Toejam & Earl. Some very funky basslines on that.[/quote] +1 for the toejam funk!

I'm sure that if he's gonna bring the prices if the basses up he'll push to make them even better, he's kind of lighting a fire under himself by charging more. Let's hope the price increase has positive benefits for the buyers and the builder(s?).

Anyone ever had a play along to any computer games? I highly recommend giving Sonic 1 a bash on the old bass, I'm having great fun

I like double thumping for triplets (thump-thump-pop) in slap riffs. For me it's been the hardest bass technique to get my head around and I've still got a long way to go with it, I can't quite get my hand in the right position to thump-thump-pop on the same string, I get a kind of cramp when i try to do that.

I'd like to hear the BVT in an A/B test with an SVT. It is clearly in no way a threat to the sales of all-valve SVT heads, valves are a different ball game. IMO, Behringer are just taking the piss.

[quote name='Rumble' post='36992' date='Jul 25 2007, 07:34 PM']It was a 2003 SS1 5 string. It could transmit some serious bass with a bit of EQ tweeking, but the bite and growl I expected to hear from a Warwick never seemed to materialise. To add to this, the G string was certainly weaker than the other strings and slapping on the D or G was a none starter, you just couldn't hear it. It may be that I had a friday afternoon production, not sure. All that aside, it was the best 'feeling' bass I've ever laid hands on.[/quote] The SS1 5 string sounds considerably different to the SS1 4 string. The P+J combination on the 4 stringer makes the bass much more versatile for different playing styles and the P adds some big thump to the low end of the bass.

Have you checked out the Fulltone Bassdrive? They go for about £200, from what you've said I reckon it'll do what you require.

The current street price of a Stage 1 is £1400-£1500. There's currently a guy on the Warwick forum selling a 1988 streamer stage II for £850, which is dirt cheap.

This is worth a read- [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=333&hl=loopers&st=20"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...opers&st=20[/url]

I use one, it's a very handy tool and a solid little unit. It might be worth searching loopers on the forum because there have been a thread or two that are quite lengthy that detail peoples opinions and pros/cons of other loop pedals too.

Nice one! I really like that colour combo. Good purchase
