I managed to get one of the leather rockbags in the end. And it's absolutely beautiful

Just received a Trace Elliot SMX Dual Compressor from Nick. No hassle, friendly guy and it arrived quickly and well packaged. Top seller

^^^ Whs

First thought when I got the cab "right, W is going" but never really got round to it. Glad I did it though, looks miles better. Only cost me a fiver for the spray paint Indeed it is a Gordon Smith, it's my dad's GS2. He's got a Gypsy II semi solid too

Before: and after: Much better I reckon, and took no longer than an hour (a lot of that was getting rid of the sodding Trace sticker )

Yeah definitely a good seller. I'm new to ebay and payed with paypal, and paypal (bless 'em) decided to send my payment via eCheque instead. Got into the seller and he said no problem, cancelled the payment and just let me do it again so pay directly via PayPal Also yeah, I've used them before, Warwickhunt. They're just as good

I ordered myself some late night, cheers for the heads up

I've not done HSM, but I know someone who has and apparently the music's quite good all things considered. I've been doing a couple of shows recently and provided you can read / know where the music's going, and can get on with the MD you can have a lot of fun with it. First one I ever did playing bass was Sweet Charity, and the MD was terrible and at that time, I wasn't a strong reader and I didn't have much fun with it, freebie or no freebie. Let's just say I can read very well now and I go into these things with an open mind. I'm playing for a production of Boogie Nights at the moment which is cheesier than stilton, but with just a 4 piece band (who're on stage and in costume), it's an absolute riot and I'll be sad when it's over

Do what you enjoy and enjoy what you do is the way I see it I'd rather be happy with what I'm doing with not quite as much money as opposed to having lots of money and not enjoying what I'm doing.

I do what I do not for the money, but for doing what I enjoy and my love of music

Hehe, cheers anyway It may become useful in the future if I ever decide i need / want a new compressor

I'm noted for once turning Molly's Chambers into a massive bass solo. Needless to say, the rest of the band weren't too impressed but the other band's bassist was pissing himself as it was in their set too

Boogie Wonderland and Blame it on the Boogie in silly keys. I'm playing in the band for a show and we're all cursing the scores. Would have probably been easier if I wasn't playing it at sight and fretless. Pretty much nailed it and the band got an applause from the cast, which is a rare occasion

Pretty much got it sorted now Going for an SMX, cheers for the advise all

Yup I've got a Storm2 and have been waiting for ages. I can run it on my dad's HTC Legend, or an Iphone. But they've then gone and made it compatible with Palms and stuff. Surely the BlackBerry is more popular than a Palm?!

[quote name='MythSte' post='1207544' date='Apr 21 2011, 09:26 PM']I think I'm going to upgrade to be honest. It'd be nice to be able to use my blackberry as a dedicated music device rather than carrying my ipod around as well. On top of which with premium you can stream at 320kbps which is something ive wanted for a while. Its a shame, for sure. But its a great service that I'm willing to pay for.[/quote] There isn't an app for BlackBerry yet though I dunno what I'm going to do, I tried out the 7 day trial and then afterwards the cheeky b*****ds took a month fee out of my bank account. Cancelled it now, but at least an email saying my trial was coming to an end would be nice! I can't see the point in keeping premium though, but I don't like having a cap put on what I listen too. Especially when I'm doing a show or something like that, I want to familiarise myself with what I'm playing. Shouldn't have to pay for that!

Responded to Shaker And yeah I get what you mean, I'd love something like an EBS or Trace, but my budget is silly (I don't think getting a John East fitted to my fretless has helped this week though ) Really I've got until the end of the month to find something and then it becomes desperate!

looks like I godda stretch the budget then. I've looked at the Trace Compressors, there's one on here for £120 but that's pushing it to be honest. I'll keep my eyes open Cheers guys.

I think the thread title sums this one up, but yeah I'm after a multiband compressor for not a lot of money (skint / tight 19 year old syndrome). Has anyone got any suggestions? I can probably go to £60 tops, second hand. So far I've seen the Ashdown ones but I've tried them too and don't really likey, and then there's the Digitech X Series Bass Squeeze, but I have no idea about these. Cheers muchos in advance for any advice

There's obviously lots of other important stuff BUT, I never realised it's possible to become so attached to a bass

Dropped my fretless Warwick off with Steve Curtis at the guitar repair workshop earlier on to have a John East preamp fitted so it's virtually identical to my fretted one (apart from woods....and frets...and age). First time I've ever been without and I already miss it I get it back on Friday or Tuesday though, so at the same time I'm pretty excited Loaned my EUB to my teacher today too so I've actually let go of two basses in a day

"You're one of the best fretless players of your age I've ever come across" Some random friendly man at BassDay '10

Got a Boss TU-1000 today for my birthday. To be blunt it's awesome
