Congrats! Once I move my Krome on I'm looking into getting a decent controller to go along with my Kronos. I might have to see if there's an 88 key version of this

I was jamming with a bassist and he left a bass at my house for a week (forgot to take it home). I week later I was playing megadeth and really enjoying myself so I bought one of my own

I'd send a link to this thread to their marketing dept. and see what happens

Whhaaaaaaaaa?!

[quote name='hairychris' timestamp='1450115715' post='2929769'] I'm absolutely god-awful. I'm still a guitar player at heart, then a basserer, finally lagging a long way behind that is keys! [/quote] I'm the exact opposite way round

I've still got the tribal planet case I got with my first bass. Been going for over 10 years now and I could honestly say you'd struggle to tell it's not new Not bad for £30!

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1450087773' post='2929356'] I play keyboards and bass and I'm better at bass but can definitely work my way around a tune on a keyboard. Having been to a few auditions and worked for a couple of bands as a keyboardist, I actually think that a lot of the ire that keyboard players get is quite unfounded! No-one is ever happy with the sounds that you select. Even if you're just using a grand piano sound, it'll be too tinny or too bassy or too much reverb or too jaunty or too bright or just generally wrong. When being directed, people always use terms that no keyboard player would ever understand. "Maybe try some long stabs in that part", "can you kind of play less but we want loads of pads UNDERNEATH everything else", "don't you have any Skrillex sounds?", "could you sound more Elton John-y but not boogie woogie and more jazzy?" and people always mime to illustrate how they think a certain part should be played. Doesn't work! It's constant! No-one is ever happy with how the keyboard player sounds because everyone has different ideas of how the keys should sound in a band context and I think we genuinely get less respect than other band members. Like, keyboards somehow aren't an integral part of a bands sound and apparently anyone can pick up in a few minutes. [/quote] I'm quite lucky, in my current project I get quite a large say on the whole soundscape so I fundamentally avoid that Here's a song in progress https://soundcloud.com/made-in-madness/evolutionevolved

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1449976999' post='2928533'] Post something where we can hear you playing with that level of chops and skill and your comment will be taken seriously. Blue [/quote] I also don't like the music jaco plays, I find it uninspiring at best. Here's me playing, have I got chops or skill? I doubt it, but I prefer the music http://youtu.be/BidjtWfu4Ds

Those esp les Paul style guitars sound huge. You won't be disappointed

Tell him to keep an eye on the thomann B stock (and other places)... This looks rather tasty : http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_rg721fm_bif_b_stock.htm

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1449822469' post='2927099'] Keyboard players are only allowed to become Basschat members if they have their left arm amputated. [/quote] But then I can't play bass....

I've never really found a keyboard forum I love, from what I gather there are a LOT of bad keys players out there though so good luck with your search!

Lots and lots of distortion, then a bit more distortion, maybe a touch of overdrive and then some distortion By the end of that you won't be able to hear any bass

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1449486448' post='2923854'] Spooky ! Surprised how poorly attended it was- we were on the pitch [/quote] Ah I was in the stands, REM were bloody brilliant. It was my first pro level gig I'd been too

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1449330786' post='2922687'] I think I was at a gig in that tour Notts forest ground [/quote] Yeah that's the one!

Might crack out the new keyboard for this one, I'm playing it all the time anyway

Try and offer something different that might get people talking. A few cheap cameras around the rooms so you can throw a making of on top will definitely make Facebook/YouTube and will probably get more views than the recording itself for very little effort. Very easy advertising! Blogs Back catalogs Active Facebook Good comms Sense of humour

Hmmm... I wonder if I could make it work for my symphonic metal band?!

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1448541569' post='2916261'] Playing all sorts of stuff - was meant as a cover all situations all in one situation. Get rid of all pedals and be able to select mega clean through grit to full on filth. Funnily enough, the harder the sound got, the worse I thought they sounded. The subpac - I remember seeing those... Unless you are into wearing stage costumes, I reckon you'd look a bit of a donkey. [/quote] I was thinking under normal clothes

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1448540138' post='2916242'] Yes, but this is just my opinion. I was very disappointed. I'm primarily an inears user - so the thought of having a super capable preamp was ideal. Didn't pan out that way. But will stress, really exceptional recording tools - just still not sold on the live use, especially for bass. I know there are people that do it... but again, their sounds tend to do nothing for me. [/quote] Out of interest what type of stuff are you playing? I wonder if it's worth pairing with a wearable like this : http://thesubpac.com/ If you're using in ears

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1448537493' post='2916210'] I was going to go that exact same route... but found they just don't work as good on bass as they do guitar [/quote] Really? Both the Kemper and the Axe? That REALLY surprises me, I can imagine would or the other but not both!

Money no object... Either an AxeFx or Kemper running into two Barefaced FR800's & 2 Barefaced LF800's

It looks familiar but I have no idea of the name, if you can get along to a computer repair place they may have an idea. Failing that maplins or the like?
