I like it just how I have it now (Fender Rumble 500 combo with an Aggie 112 stuck under it) I did get the chance to use Lemmys stack at a rehearsal space in Hammersmith many years ago, that was pretty mega, think it was some Marshall 12's with a couple of Peavey blackwidow 15 cabs (not for me tho lol)

Thanks Jerry. I guess you could say a lot of us here just fool around on bass compared to a lot of the talent you must of have seen and played with over the years.

Doing a small gig I stuck the Gopro on the end of the bass for a song or two. The sound is also recorded on the camera. Captures the unplugged sound a bit more I think. Not the busiest of bassline lol. No comments on my mistakes please. I had the fretless out as well, but not showing that. All things bass, so thought I'd post.

I have had very good service off them over the years. Bought lot's of gear off them, both for the band and myself. I have had 2 items replaced and fixed under warranty ( had both over 2 years) no questions asked. Free postage return and replacement. They have even forced the local music stores to be more competitive on pricing. I guess that has been hard for them but great as a customer.

The Harder they come. A clockwork orange. Halloween (78) The ones I have listened to the most.

The Fender Flats 45-100 have a nice balance and sound (and price) Been through most of the others and the Fenders are my choice. I found the TI's a little too low tension on the A string when I dig in, nice sound otherwise.

Welcome. Most of the upgrades I have ever done on my basses have been a waste of time and money, I don't do anything now that doesn't need changing. DI-ing the bass should give you a full sound.. maybe try a preamp first, I usually use a Aguilar tone hammer for shaping when recording For more oomph, you might need that P

We sometimes do a couple. easy and fun to play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoBJXwdn2Jo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ta5T8cg3c0

Looks like who ever owns it couldn't string it properly, the D string is out of the tree Might nice if you have the dosh.

I tried a whole range of flats on my Ray before deciding I really did prefer the sound of it with rounds. Came to the same decision on my Jazz. Enjoy the experiment, that's what it's all about.

Must of been a one-off.. normally the boys are very tight.

Yes the band weren`t musically that hot, but the labels could see that`s what people wanted at the time - credit to them for being interested in bands which they probably privately thought were dreadful. [/quote] From my reading and understanding the Clash were still pretty much in debt to CBS until mid 79 when things started to take off for them in the USA. So I guess CBS were along for the long ride. I enjoyed watching the film mainly for the interview's and old footage of London. The Clash certainly had something to say at the time, that's pretty obvious the way Temple could tie in what was happening in the UK/ London climate with the footage and lyrics. Just like the Pistols films.

Any one remember Freddy Laker? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns-fw7a16Gw

This one I used to own is close, but no cookie. It had a remarkable amount of lowend as well as all the clank you could need. Edit.. There is a photo of one in the gear porn, Precisions section page 45

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1418824623' post='2633708'] I`d check the Fender Rumbles, they have a really nice warm, rich tone to them. [/quote] +1 To what Lozz says. I use their 500w 210 combo with and without an extension cab, love it.

Awesomeness, I've had my 22 a couple of months now and still can't leave it alone Enjoy.

Yes ,you were right Lozz with the humbucks Maybe the Ray sounds larger as it's active/pre-amped already and the rest had no kind of DI boost or anything, tho the Stingray always sounds huge to me isolated with the drums like that, just one of the reasons I have to have one. I think the P with the flats has very low out-put from it's pick-ups, they are 45 years old.. I'm thinking of sticking some of the new F custom shops in there and keeping the old's original. Cameron thanks, it'd be nice if someone had the time to do more bass comparisons, I'd definitely give it a listen.

A Jazz or a Ray would be a great choice. As At says get your hands on one of each if you can and see which you prefer for feel. Active /passive can be a deal breaker for some people as well. I'm lucky enough to own both and wouldn't be without.

Well done, your both right. Number 3 was also a P but with flats.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1418757469' post='2633046'] Well I`d put 1 as a Precision, and 4 as either a Jazz or a Stingray, with 3 being the treble-cutted bass. [/quote] Your close Lozz, what do you make 2 as?

(yes I had some freetime today) Four sightly different basses straight into the PC.. Three of them wide open and one with some treble cut, how I'd normally use them at practice etc. Forgive the sloppiness and for anybody who listens I promise I don't slap in public lol. If you want to play, can you tell what's what? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/90499974/Bass%20mix/1.mp3 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/90499974/Bass%20mix/2.mp3 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/90499974/Bass%20mix/3.mp3 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/90499974/Bass%20mix/4.mp3

Main stay for me is a Comp, OD and Envelope filter, if I had to lose one it would be the OD.

Stunning, enjoy.

Bit OT, but I did a stupid thing with mine at a gig at the weekend, accidently put an 18v supply through it, I have 9 and 18 on my psu and in the dark didn't check properly. It's now ferked and I'm now gutted as that was my always on pedal.. Lesson learnt from me I have now colour coded the power tips. (bit late I know)
