Music is all about feel and the 'human element', otherwise computers would have taken over it years ago. oh, wait. sh*t...

http://www.davehallamps.co.uk/page29.html Good DI? Check (whisper quiet) and a really flexible tone shaper/overdrive/clean boost too. Oh, and it's also a headphone amp...

DHA VT1 DI EQ http://www.davehallamps.co.uk/page29.html Awesome kit. I've had the Aggi Tone Hammer, Sansamps, MXR M-80 but finally settled on this beast.

yeah man, it's [size=8]PHAT![/size]

Bestest bass for music? Simple blud, a proper low, sick bass wiv a wobble on it. True dat.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1373462717' post='2137856'] Before it's been relic'd it's probably a nice looking bass. After it's been relic'd it's a bass in need of a refinish and should be priced accordingly to account for the extra money that needs to be spent to make it look good again. [/quote] 100% true fact. I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you want a 'reliced' instrument all you need to do is to buy one and gig like a bastard for 30 years. Job done.

ZVEX don't maker them anymore, but these look to do a very similar sort of thing to an arpeggiator. http://media1.zvex.com/seekwah.mov

Imply an Em, A7 to add a bit more harmonic interest in bar 8, then you've only got 7 bars to worry about. You could do the same at bar 4 too, giving you even less "squeaky bum" time.

[quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1372283646' post='2123938'] Yeah, I like it ... if I take the plunge and get one I may get back to you for details of the mod if that's alright. [/quote] that's fine. I'll start looking back through my notes to see what I eventually settled on...

[quote name='JellyKnees' timestamp='1373013908' post='2132701'] The only real way to tell though is to try them all.... [/quote]

PM'ed

Sonuus B2M and a korg Polysix plugin for your PC or Mac. Comes i at just under £90 as the Sonuus stuff is on special offer at the moment. I'm tempted....

I swear by GFS pickups - nmo matter which model you buy they are always great sounding pups that punch WAY above their price point. http://www.guitarfetish.com/GFS-PB-Pro-P-Bass-style-pickups-Sweet-Alnico-Vintage-Tone_p_333.html Don't be fooled by the price - they are superb!

I've tried to ditch my backline a couple of times, but the sound engineers and/or kit hasn't been up to snuff. It's a lively thought that we could simply swan in half an hour before kick off and just plug in but the reality is that the vast majority of venues are few years away from being able to do it properly. Sadly.

yeah, I've tried flats, but occasionally I like to slap on my fretless and just need a bit more 'zing'.

Anybody got any experience of these? http://www.daddario.com/dadproductfamily.page?activeid=3768&familyid=17 I'm only asking because roundwounds are eating away at my fretless fingerboard at a rate of knots. I'd rather not reduce my playing, but I'm not keen to fit a new board either...

yup - nice little exercise that, thanks for posting!

He's not [i]really[/i] unwell though is he? He's just regenerating. All the best Ian, get well soon!

Also 'slap bass' solo and a damp patch afterwards.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1372866127' post='2130917'] Allow me to be the first of many that says Ampeg SVT & Fender Precision. [/quote] Yup. SWR and Jazz Bass. - those 'Acoustic' amps and Jazzes are pretty darn tootin' too!

or greetings card outlet? We'll always need more of those.

Yup. Doesn't last long, but it does happen. Don't sell your kit though unless your arms drop off (or similar).
