Buy one! They sound amazing, really versatile and phat as hell! All things considered, they're pretty cheap too.

Does anyone know what setup Nick Oliveri used on Songs for the Deaf? I want that tone! I read somewhere that he used a 70's ampeg amp, I've only ever seen him using 8x10's of some kind, and 99% of the time he's got an old P-Bass in his hands. That's all I know! Can anyone fill me in on a little more info? Cheers Ed EDIT: One other thing, what tuning is he in on that album? Some form of drop C isn't it?

I've witnessed an Ashdown 2x15 (which is in an 8x10 casing) get put on the back seats of a Corsa and fit perfectly.

[quote name='neepheid' post='8910' date='May 30 2007, 12:00 AM']DO NOT EAT[/quote] haha! I love it how it says that on silica packets! Since when does anyone un-package their new bass and think that it's a good idea to eat any of the contents inside?

what brand of patch cables have you got on your board Tayste?

That black and maple precision is pure filth!

All my basses are tuned to D#G#C#F#, except for my Thumb which is tuned to CGCF, which is a pain in the ass getting the low C to sound good.

I'm no Fender expert, but 37 bids (and counting), user ID kept private and a current price of £1500 seems a little odd to me! £1500 is a lot of money for this bass, right??

Here's my current setup. It runs in this order- BASS > Bassdrive > Deep Impact > EBS Bass IQ > Small Clone > Harmonist > Phase 90 > DD20 Giga Delay > RC20XL Loop Station > DBX 160a rack compressor > AMP The Tone Bone is either at the beginning or end of my pedal board, depending on how I'm using it.

I want I want I want... Gibson Grabber Dingwall Z2 Orange AD200 + some kind of 8x10 thankyouplease

It might be worth looking into the Aerodyne Jazz, for that mix of P bass and J bass.

Timmy C's sound on the self titled RATM album always does it for me.

Hey folks, Some feedback would be nice on this if anyone fancies a listen- www.myspace.com/es21grams I've currently got one tune up on there. I'm fairly chuffed with the quality of it, for it being a very on-the-fly recording. I used the following stuff- Orange Tiny Terror guitar amp, warwick streamer S1, gibson les paul premium plus (borrowed unfortunately!), Boss RC20XL, Boss Digital multi-track recorder and a cheap n' cheerful audio-technica mic. It was all done in one take through my orange guitar amp, I looped the bass line, then built up a few loops with guitar and then mostly improvised a few things over the top. Lemme know your thoughts. I'm trying to work on my live looping skills at the moment, so any feedback or suggestions regarding live looping would be appreciated.

I love MB stuff! I use a TA503 and it's the first ever amp I can say I'm 100% happy with. I'm a fussy bugger when it comes to amps! Just watched that you tube vid, that's some tasty finger tapping

That looks wicked! Congratulations

The Warwick blue line are pretty good amps at good prices- [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/warwick/blue_series"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/warwick/blue_series[/url]

Ahh frick... i've clearly failed in my mission to construct a poll there. This thread might as well be deleted!

Just out of interest. I think I've covered all the main brands there.

I tried both before I bought and went with the RC20XL, mainly because it feels much more solid than the jam man.

great thread! I'll have to give those settings a blast at a time that doesn't wake up everyone else in my house!

I've played both and much preferred the MM Jazz because of the 2 band EQ and it seemed to feel a lot slicker than the Geddy, however that might have been a bad Geddy that I played. You never know with Fender

Do you enjoy maintaining the myspace and itunes sales? If you're selling this music, people are enjoying it. I think that's good enough reason to keep it going. However, if you get sick and tired of it then leave it be, there's not much point in carrying on with it if you're not enjoying it.

I've heard that Gibson EB3's can do some nasty damage to weedy amps. Maybe that ashdown amp had issues? Although, I do think that some basses can sound pants through certain amps, but a lot of it comes down to personal preference.

Stunning! Could you tell me a little more about that Dolphin? What year etc? What are they like?

Check out the Ken Smith Design jazz basses [url="http://www.kensmithbasses.com/KSD/KSDdefault.htm"]http://www.kensmithbasses.com/KSD/KSDdefault.htm[/url] They're distributed by Bernie Goodfellow, if you need any advice on them then give him a call, he really knows his stuff and he's a top notch bloke.
