[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1392222082' post='2366147'] so the basses (and guitars) that I play most regularly are out on a variety of floor stands ready to be used. The ones that I don't currently play are stored in their cases. [/quote] That's me as well The basses I use for gigs and practice normally stay in their case's and my home practice basses are mainly on stands in the mancave

They wear in quite nicely. No sticker then the Roto's when new. I think gauge plays a big part in the tension/feel you might be looking for as well. Took me a while to grasp that and a lot of money in the process experimenting.

yep, Fender flats on all my flatwound basses, 45-100 are great for me.

Interesting, I just bought the Catalinbread SFT to try and get that subtle overdrive that won't lose the low end. I really wanted something switchable as well. It sounds good at home so far, will be able to test it properly on Friday at practice.

Well done on following through with your gut feeling.. it's hard to be honest and walk-away sometimes.(I'm there right now) It's hard when you feel all the work might of been wasted. I'm sure in the long run the bands will appreciate your honesty. Sounds like it will free up some of your time should the right project come along.

[quote name='leroydiamond' timestamp='1391781913' post='2361215'] Any advice re. EQ settings on TH 500 [/quote] Many ways to skin a cat, but This gets me close through a pair of Aggie 112's, near enough the same through the Neo212. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/90499974/TH500.jpg

[quote name='leroydiamond' timestamp='1391775468' post='2361130'] Hope I do. If the Streamliner was available through Thomann I would probably order both, compare and keep the preferred amp. Any idea what Bassdirect are like with returns?. What cab did you use to compare the TH 500 and Streamliner ? Thanks [/quote] Once you work out how to use the EQ on the TH500, I don't think you'll have to worry about sending it back ..spelling lol

Did the Clash ever mime? Wasn't it JJ cale that said I'm a Musician not an actor and refused to mime to anything (not sure about the videos lol) Flea and the Chilis have done enough good things for music.. maybe it was fun for them to do it that way.. I'm not knocking them As has been said they have proved they can do it live, so who really cares that much. edit: sorry I haven't read all this thread .

Oh no! Now I want one of these.

I don't know, it seems to be one, then I'll pick up another and .. like what happened to me last week, was doing some recording and thought the Jazz with rounds might suit that (I hadn't used it for nearly 6 months) Been flats on the P for a while, then bingo what a sound and feel it gave me the confidence to add a bit more to the tune. I love them all at different times! Honeymoon period with the Star bass atm as well

I have tried both through the same cab as well as the Shuttle, I still use the shuttle and the Th500 and got rid of the Streamliner. They are all good in slightly different ways imo.

I use the Zoom 2hd as well.. video quality isn't that great but as you said the sound can be decent. I have found most newish DSLR cameras cope quite well with audio/ some even have a line-in, video quality is pretty good as well. Bit bulkier than the Zoom but they can do a good job.

There's one thing playing the songs note perfect.. Then there is working on the dynamics and performance imo.

[quote name='lou24d53' timestamp='1391351345' post='2356066'] Sorry, I'm not that up on my Warwicks, but what model is this, cheers. [/quote] Hi. It's the Star bass, not the German made but Korean pro.

Lots of choices there. I run Aguilar GS 112's and very happy with them.

I have Dunlop Nickel coated on all my roundwound stringed basses. I like them as well

Thanks I enjoyed that a lot. Some of his lack of anger management reminded me of my late Father, maybe it was tough for people growing up around the war time?

Looks and sounds really nice When I have to start looking around again for a new amp.. might have look at these.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1391178871' post='2354209'] Todays GAS is for a P bass...... one of those 63 reissue ones in sonic blue.... or maybe one of the white ones.... Although the 112 GAS from earlier in the week hasn't gone away it's just got more bergantino shaped [/quote] lol, I'd say your onto a good thing.

So. I got to use this in anger at rehearsal today, absolutely great and the rest of the band loved it Gig tomorrow but as I have no case for it yet, it will have to stay at home

Thanks Guys. The Dunlop Nickle plated I love them when they work, but so far out of 4 packs I have a dead E out of the bag and then an A snapped at the ball end stringing up another fresh set.. Not a great record!. Top marks to Strings Direct have been great on getting me a fresh new set each time I have had a problem tho

lol. at the moment this one. My Bandmates have asked me to stop TRYING to play every pause we have . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgntkGc5iBo

Hi. It's one of those great feelings when the new bass arrives. Got the hots for one of these and managed to find one of the last Korean ones new. Never thought I'd be going back to Warwick (nothing wrong with them) I used a Streamer for 15 years or so, but have been mainly all Fender since. The fit and finish on this is great, setup nicely from the shop, Just strung it with some Dunlop rounds and it sounds really nice, I was thinking flats but it already has a very dark sound on both pickups. It's very easy to play, the neck is super quick, think a nice Jazz. It feels a bit strange standing up playing it at the moment, the neck feels very long for some reason, 34" A crap camera phone photo doesn't really do it any justice, it's bit darker looking than the powder blue it looks here.. but I know the score, no pic, no bass [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8374568@N07/12224594266/"][/url]
