A quick google confirms said statment! They were a damn sight better live than what this video of them suggests.

I swear I saw them support 65DOS in Manchester...

Well I used many different kinds of big muff, from he original Sovtek Russians, the Triangle Muffs, the Russian reissues, the newer USA model (as you are considering) and currently have the new BBM on my board. My advice? Go for the new Bass Big Muff. Similar price but a much better sound. The USA silver muff loses far too much lowend and so has to be blended heavily to be usable, IMHO. The BBM is cheap, sounds good and is widely available.

Nice thread, great to see the progression you've had. Would be cool if you could get a custom plate - especially if you engraved it or embossed it or something. Could get your band's name on it!

Thank you very much for the Polish Hate. Well packaged, great price and posted very quickly. Top bloke!

An EHX BMS might get you close, that or a keyboard or some kind of software solution with a midi pedalboard.

[quote name='vegas_hooker' post='1279142' date='Jun 22 2011, 10:17 PM']Deary me. Couldnt or wasnt allowed? They were fantastic in Manchester on monday. That bass tone is huge.[/quote] OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THEM! I was literally sat bored alone in my mates student room in Manchester which I'm borrowing this summer for somewhere to crash whilst I do an internship.

[quote name='ianSB' post='1257383' date='Jun 5 2011, 03:11 PM'][attachment=81809:ampeg_stack.jpg] this is my gigging rig and bass and i dont have a picture of my jazz on hand but i will do soon and i m 18 btw[/quote] If only I could afford that now, let alone at 18! I settled for the 220w BA-115HP combo...it just doesn't really compare.

Do not be ashamed! Be proud...and also start doing more back stuff at the gym, cause lugging around two tourmans can only be bad news!

Just checked out your channel, subscribed straight away. Loved your "A 5th of pad kontrol".

Really, really impressed. Can't believe you've managed all this with just an M9 and Ableton, especially to be played live like this. Great work.

Sorry to dig this up guys, but I'm having a little trouble. I've just bought a G&L 5 string, from this very forum infact, and am looking for a decent gig bag for it. I don't really want a hardcase as I am wanting to be able to commute with it. It should preferably have a decent amount of padding (25mm+), back straps, a couple of pockets and most importantly, a neck strap/cushion. I looked at the Ritter which seems great, despite the lack of neck protection, and Fusion bags, which are a tad on the expensive side. I'm leaning towards a good Gator bag from the Commander series, but that's still going to set me back £80. Any suggestions? Thanks.

PLus one to only needing a Precision and a pick. Might I suggest buying a tuner though (if that counts as an efefcts pedal) because a lot of punk bands that I have seen have been dreadfully out of tune!

I've got one, great pedal. Does exactly what you want, is quiet and doesn't cost the earth.

EBS MultiComp. £80 second hand, turn it on and forget that it's there.

Is that a chopped up old flightcase?

The Micro Synth has loads of great sounds in it though which would work a dream in Hip Hop/ Dub Step so maybe it would be a worthwhile investment?

Picked up a G&L L2500 from him the other day from him for a great price. Really nice guy to deal with and there were no problems at all. Thanks a lot mate, pleasure doing business. Rich

I imagine that if I was playing the blue one then I would have to have a Chorus pedal turned on - as if I was rocking out under the sea!

Bit of a lad, at least he's honest and hard working - two fantastic qualities.

The ISP Decimator is a very popular choice for this in pedal format. Currently £99 new at soundsgreatmusic.com and I don't think you'll get a much better new deal than that: [url="http://www.soundsgreatmusic.com/products/6972/5371/isp-decimator.aspx"]http://www.soundsgreatmusic.com/products/6...-decimator.aspx[/url]

It really all depends on the kind of style and type of music that you play. If you're driving lines in a punk/rock/metal band for example, you probably don't need any compression, as you would be maintaining the same loud dynamic throughout. However, if you were to be playing something which demands a more delicate touch, perhaps involving harmonics or if you were slapping, compression would be very helpful to even everything out and retain a sensible level of volume for all the notes that you are playing, be they slapped, popped or lightly plucked. In my band I play out gentle harmonics in some songs together with sustaining notes underneath them and sometimes slap, so it's a helpful little tool to bring some control to my bass signal. Especially as I also use a multitude of effects, and compression before an octave pedal helps it to behave nicely, so I use it as an always on pedal; I just set it and forget about it. Yeah I can get away without using compression, but I don't like to as without it I have to rethink some of my basslines, to compensate for the dynamics of different playign styles.
