T-dawg would probably be up for this. Never been to anything like it before. Also +1 for can't slap lol

Thinking about selling mine to fund Afew individual pedals. What's a good price at the mo? Cheers Terry

first show with the new bass: [attachment=56856:terrybass.jpg] Brootal x

just played my first show with my spector 5 string, lovely although only arrived friday so pretty much played it like a 4 lol. still a quality instrument. Show was good although entire gig was ruined for me by "hardcore dancing" f***ing rubbish lol

Just completed a trade with Ville, have never traded before let alone internationally so you can imagine a little bit of trepidation. Great guy, very very helpful, great transaction, absolutely zero issues, all round great guy. Great bass and delivered very promptly to allow me as little time bassless as possible. Without gushing I can't say enough good things about the guy. Highly recommended and would deal again with him in a second.

okay, maybe I need to open this up a little then, I'm kinda tired of the musicman sound, i want something deeper and smoother. Something a little more rounded. I've been tempted by 5 strings for a while so thats a given. Maybe it's not the active i'm bothered about and just the sound of the bass overall. I am abit of a n00b in the sense i did buy the musicman because 2/3 of my fav bands bass players used em but as I develop my own sound I don't think its doing what I want. I;ve looked at lots of 5-strings but i'm not too sure on which will be best. Even though I play metal i'm looking for something suitable for dub and trip-hop more than growly rocky kinda sounds. any suggestions?

I'm thinking about putting my bass up for trade - musicman stingray 4 string, 3 band eq, piezo bridge - got a couple of slight chips but aside from that its banging. I'm gonna be looking for a passive 5 string but I don't really know what I should be expecting in terms of value and what comprable 5 strings I should be looking for in exchange of a roughly similar value (i'm prepared to take a slight drop). Any advice please? thanks

Congrats

I asked an engineer at the Masque (former Barfly) in Liverpool why he didn't use the DI output and pointed at the Ashdown sign and said "because of that" Apparently he has had bad experiences in the past (maybe its just him?)[/quote] Most (NOT ALL) live sound engineers are, in my humble opinion/experience: 1. rude 2. stuck in their ways 3. miserable 4. rubbish I have met some great engineers who have taught me alot even in the space of one soundcheck. but it's probably 70/30 in favour of douches. As for DI's I tend on grate on most engineers by requesting to mic up my 1x15 live. While I can understand how much easier it is for sound guys to deal with DI signal I can't help but feel they are paid to be there and thus should really do what I want (without me or them being a prick about it). My sound is setup in the rehearsal room and the sound I like is the sound that comes out of the cabs so thats what I want coming out of the PA. Perhaps i've taken this a little off topic (apologies) but thats my 2 cents p.s. My ashdown DI was pretty good, never had any complaints Terry

Man that wilson freaker is a decent price as well. that may be on the cards. Cheers for the advice guys
