Any news? Ive been waiting

lemmywinks, I like the sound of that idea. I dont mind being a bagman, free bass AND some money :ph34r: Its worth noting that the last time someone on here tried to rip someone off I believe they got hunted down fairly rapidly. Not sure how etc etc, but I found it reassuring

[quote name='3V17C' post='940831' date='Aug 31 2010, 11:54 AM']yeah may be up for this, though cambridge is still a bit of a hike from here.. do it in norwich!!![/quote] Nooo! Im just outside Cambridge!

Seeming a popular idea. I dont know about you guys but I'd be aiming for Sat or Sun.

I can't slap either

Cambs would be great for me although I don't know of a venue that would accommodate us. But then again I have never had to sort something of this size before. Count me in! I'll bring along my pbass and school. Maybe my amps too

Behringer! And seeing practice amps on stage. Cheap mics.. the list goes on........

I think this is a 'what would you pick' thread. I which case: Corvette

Go to the gallery and ask to try a bunch of basses with different strings may be an idea.

Ability to retune the instrument would be good (too ANY tuning) Ability to Add/Remove String at Top or Bottom would be good aswell. Addition of scales? Just a few ideas off of the top of my head

Very personal and depends on the sound and feel you want. I use rotosound swingbass 110s I prefer thicker strings for feel and sound. Good luck

Vocal - Amy Lee & James Labrie (should be interesting) & Matt Bellamy Guitar - John Petrucci & Dave Murray & Adrian Smith & [i]*Matt Bellamy[/i] Keyboard- Jordan Rudess & [i]*Matt Bellamy[/i] Bass - Dave Ellefson Drums - Mike Portnoy Random Member there just because - ME! Should make for a versatile band!

Love that show the guy with the puppet cracks me up!

I would like to just say. That although Tino went bear pokin' his initial posts atleast were fair and non-provocative. Funnily enough they still chewed him up and spat him out shortly after. That was when things got.... Interesting Ofcourse he went the full 10 rounds before being removed. Just think the light being cast on Tino here is a 'little' harsher than it needs to be.

Just south of £1.8k I think in basses and including amps probably around £2.3k I don't feel too bad

I prefer salted, but I think they should be in the BC arms

Interesting idea, would be quite unnerving to play I imagine

Black white Black for the win

Yeah you got it Some people like to use spoken word aswell but that may just be personal preference

E&L? Never heard of 'em Im with endsleigh I think...

Thanks shergold I try. I've not come across the b&w's but then I don't work in the field at the moment. One other point, don't underestimate the importance of them looking nice. Nice looking gear can inspire a band to play better and also make a band respect you a little more as a professional.

Had a brief think so far. I remembered what my track was (pro), back in black. Characteristics I was looking for were: Top frequencies of hihats / cymbals Crispness of snare, which should sound harsh on pro speakers imho Presence of the bassdrum Listen for any mouth sounds from vocal track Picking sounds on guitars And listen to the presence of the bass and compare the clarity too an amp. Basically you're listening for things you may or maynot usually hear. Any or all of these should be more pronounced for my mixing style.

If you have any amateur bands recorded tracks then any faults should be shown up. It's a tough one to say which ones will best suite your mixing style tbh. I rink there's a few articles around for this kind of thing. I will have a think on it and report back later.

My advice would be ignore the pricetag up to your limit price. The brands I have the most experience with and in the order I would recommend are: Genelec Mackie Yamaha Tannoy I'm sure there's others but forget. Listen to a range in your budget. Eg. 3 pairs below 300 3 pairs below 600 3 pairs below 1000 Pick a favourite in each range and then listen to the difference between the three. If ever tour in Cambridgeshire feel free to pop round I have some Yamaha hs50ms. I prefer active speakers BTW but bear in mind if you pick passive you will need an amp aswell.
