I've only ever owned one Mexican Fender, a Jazz that I bought untried It was a mid 80's job and a dog... I swapped in some USA pups which didn't really help.. seemed to have no resonance and most of the strings buzzed or rattled no matter how high the action was. I know there are some good Mexican models like the Roadworns, Geddys and Classic series, but mine was a real pos. I'd definitely need to try one before I'd buy Mexican again. I guess the guy that sold me it knew it was crap and kind of my fault as I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of sending it back. You live and learn.

90% of the time I have been useing pre for both recording and live. What do you guys prefer and why? Haven't mic'd my cab up for years now.

Even happens to the greats http://redhotchilipeppersfansite.tumblr.com/post/5572624904/flea-blister-rhcp-rehearsals

Yes, deffo get it looked at. Had my 600 about a year and a half and it never did anything like that. 4-5 hours of use and the air coming out would be as cool as when I first switched it on. I did have a shuttle that went and needed a valve changing.

For me it would be the Clash. Don't think I'd do a good a job of it as Simmo tho! lol Making any kind of music with Strummer post Clash would of been great as well.

Thinking about trading for a similarly powered lightweight amp in the same price reigon. Am I being stupid or should I just keep the amp? [/quote] I think your not alone in that a lot of us like to chop and change around a bit.. I went in the last 2 years from the shuttle 6.0, to the Streamliner 600 and now have a Th500 on the way. I have been happy with every change I've made so far. It's not set in stone that you have to stick with one amp. Enjoy.

Still fairly cheesy even in 2011. Great dancing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTPqn-wiiCw

Not sure about my own stage presence! but I'm bored to tears after about 5 minutes if watching a band and all they do is look at the floor or their fretting hands.. Guess it also depends on what kind of music your play, either-way I like a bit of eye contact or at least interaction between the Band.

I bought a new 4003 a few months back and I'd say even DI'd it's definitely not low on bottom end and all treble! and that comes from a P-bass type guy.

Welcome. The first track you posted was a little too highbrow for me, but loved the groove and your playing on the second track. Silky skills.

Wow, friggin awesome!

I always found Howard Jones Cheesy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYnK83WxJnw

I have to vote this as my favourite thread ever.. Now I realise why I never had much success playing music in the 80's ... or 90's... or

Not sure why but when I think Nick Heyward I also think Roddy Frame. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4pWcVPUybE Catchy tunes, don't get me wrong.

My first and only Wal was the passive single pickup, think it was before the Pro's !%? but it had been modded with a select switch and what looked like an Aria Pro pickup of some sort.. I have a pic of it somewhere I think. Wonder where it went, I traded it in at the Basscenter in Wapping when I bought my Warwick.

Lets remind ourselves how they sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_crXC-rFG9E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3CTN5iYeb4 Made me rush out and buy my first Wal.. never managed to play like Leigh (got some of the sound).. some serious bass playing on their first album.
