  1. I reckon it's the other way around - a 'P' bass has a noticeable hump in the midrange, so it is more apparent in most mixes, the Jazz has an inbuilt 'mid-scoop' due to the phasing of the pickups. All of this can be altered/changed outboard with amps, effects, wang, EQ etc... The big difference as a player is that the neck on a 'P' bass is a bit fatter, with the Jazz necks traditionally having a slimmer profile.
  2. [quote name='peteb' timestamp='1334311119' post='1614157'] Nothing wrong with a guitarist being a Malmsteen fan - if you listen to him, Yngwie is a breathtaking player and actually very musical.... [/quote] If you like Bach compositions played too fast; the Liverpool Phil does the same thing...
  3. yup, definitely like the second more than the first. Great idea.
  4. [quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1334273050' post='1613802'] I'm aiming to get 6 micro pedals (1590A format) onto a pedaltrain nano so mine will be somewhat smaller than that [/quote] small, but beautiful.
  5. [quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1334177248' post='1612251'] It has no right to be this good: [/quote] fixed! Goblin cock - they're on my list.
  6. 'Time Machine tour' album by Rush. ...and doing the ironing.
  7. 3 tone scumburst. getting coat...
  8. [quote name='littlegreenman' timestamp='1334195332' post='1612489'] What's the mod on the DOD? [/quote] took the original LED out and replaced it with a switch (SPDT if I remember) to switch between two different values of resistor to toggle between the original tone (lacking in top end for my tastes - R21,was 22K ) and roughly halved the value in the other side to dive a toppy, squelchy sort of sound. C11 (IIRC) value was reduced (from 15uf to roughly half of that) to speed up the decay time of the envelope and I drilled out the 'O' in 'envelope' to fit a new LED. All of the parts are clearly labelled on the board, so you don't even need to be able to read a schematic to do this. C11 is polarised though, so you'll have to make sure that you put the new one in the right way around...
  9. nope, Short scale hoihner 'P' bass copy. Chipboard body and a slightly pointy headstock with bridge screws that dug into whatever part of you touched it - one of the reasons I play fingerstlye now, as I couldn't rest my hand on it when playing with a pick. What more could you want for £70? a bit like this one, [IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/f_213899683-9c7912af.jpg[/IMG] but mine was shittier.
  10. [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1334182989' post='1612394'] Not anymore mate. Rickenbackers are banned on Basschat now. [/quote] the fake ones seem to get a bit of attention though. Maybe Geddy should start trawling the 'bay!
  11. Blimey! £1K+ and it's not shielded? if you shield it yourself does it invalidate the warranty though?
  12. Hi All, I've just found this on Facebook - it's a band that I set up about 3 years ago, I wrote the stuff and we self-produced an EP that ultimately didn't do anything as we split up before we really gigged anywhere. Thought you might like to have a butchers anyway. [url="http://www.michaelboothfilm.com/the-uprising-by-the-callers/"]http://www.michaelboothfilm.com/the-uprising-by-the-callers/[/url] Enjoy.
  13. [quote name='Mikey R' timestamp='1334052860' post='1610050'] Thats a very cheap flanger, the first pedal I bought, probably in 1995. Its got a missing battery cover and is held together with gaffa tape from some over enthusiastic stomping as a teenager but Im strangely attached to it. [/quote] Hooray for cheap, sentimentally worthwhile FX pedals.
  14. Recorder first, then keys and piano, then guitar, then drums, then Bass. Then mandolin but mainly bass.
  15. Yeah, I got it. Thought it was pretty funny too.
  16. [quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' timestamp='1334001954' post='1609541'] Ah ok - thought I was going mad there for a minute! [/quote] you might be mate, just glad it's not my fault.
  17. aren't these made for female bassists, as the seat is always, erm, down?
  18. Urine for a surprise when you play it though, really fluid movement up and down the neck.
  19. Ended up withdrawing it due to needing it for a theatre run.
  20. Bank Holiday photo time - [IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/P4090573.jpg[/IMG] Signal path - Bass into TU3, Aggi Octamiser, modded DOD FX25B into FX looper. Loop 'A' has the EBS Trem and Unichorus, Loop 'B' has the modded, rehoused Russian Big Muff, Loop 'C' has the EHX freeze pedal. Output into a Chord BOD 50 (Boss ODB3 clone).
  21. Cool, your voice reminds me of Lou Reed. Sorry if that offends you, but that's what sprang to mind upon the first listen.
