  1. Did anyone else notice BRX's comment from 2008 on there?
  2. Yeah using a compressor after a delay or reverb is really confusing
  3. Is it just me or does the vocalist of Nervosa sound like she could actually be that Letty (I think) from fast and furious?
  4. Is there a particular reason you're looking at combining the 12 and 15"? I'd find which you like the sound of and get two of the same personally
  5. Dunlop Jazz III XL (Black) for me
  6. [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1390300523' post='2343652'] Correction... Truckstop has also been less right on 21 occasions. [/quote] Fixed
  7. Just having a listen to the very first song, sounded great mate! The one thing I would say that starting the very first song with just "plodding" bass did sound suspiciously like someone demoing a bass and if I didn't know a song was coming I would probably have shut it off before the song actually started. That's not a criticism of your playing in any way btw mate! I just think the first should be a little bit more "HERE WE ARE" from the very start. If they stick around then awesome! I'd probably start off with Long Train Running instead of Black & Gold personally All IMHO etc obviously
  8. Ask on a forum Most beginner basses these days are perfectly usable tools, particularly Peavey and Yamaha which can both comfortably fit in the sub £200 range
  9. I love lacquered necks, so much so that when I got a new neck made for my P by Mr Shuker I requested a gloss finish. It plays, looks and sounds beautiful [sharedmedia=core:attachments:148734] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:148733] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:148732] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:148731] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:148730] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:148729] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:148728]
  10. [quote name='HMX' timestamp='1389814760' post='2338273'] Pull Me Under, Constant Motion (not that it's easy). [/quote] Defintely not easy
  11. Keep your eyes peeled for a Peavey Millenium BXP - new they're a steal at around £110 IIRC, Second hand they'd be a ridiculous bargain
  12. I think afterlife was on a 4 string and is fairly easy/fun to play
  13. [quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1389617661' post='2336098'] We're quite keen on a home practice cab, something small and unobtrusive but with a satisfying sound at the sort of levels you will practice at. There is a technical problem with something small built to handle 1000W though. Heat dissipation. Small speakers have small coils and less metalwork so don't handle such high power before burning out. The simplest thing would be to turn down of course, 50W into a decent speaker is going to annoy the neighbours quite enough anyway. It would be possible to wire a 4x6 for example so it ran at 32ohms and your amp would only drive 125W into that or a 16ohm 2x8 could be made to handle 200W easily enough. It's more likely we will come up with a 1x8 design for this purpose, but it won't handle quite that much! [/quote] I only gave my particular example to show you the extremes ofcourse and I wouldn't be likely to crank it up at home anyway! That's what the 6x10 is for haha. A 16ohm 2x8 could be good! The other thing would be to make it the right size to still take a rack on top though if possible. Also an isolated bottom to it (Like a grammar pad) so the vibrations don't travel and you've got it nailed The Home Office Cab of choice! Can it have a headphone out too which disables the speaker so that people without headphone outs on there Amps can use that actually (I don't actually need that, just a nice feature to have )
  14. How about a home practice cab? Takes the full wattage of a gigging amp (mines 1kW) but is small and doesn't risk damage (dummy load or something may be the easiest way I guess?)

  16. [quote name='Chris Horton' timestamp='1389609415' post='2335972'] Hi, I am running PT11 on my Mac mini computer with a focusrite interface. I have been working on a project and recently recorded a new vocal part. When I play back the whole song the new vocal part sounds like I am singing backwards ! How on earth have I managed this!!?? Are there any PT experts here that can help me out? Chris [/quote] no ideas but that's pretty impressive
  17. [quote name='Lorne' timestamp='1389375242' post='2333593'] Thanks mate, glad you still have it and love it, I still have the red one too, it's under the bed though at the moment, no room [/quote] Get it out and have a play mate, you'll fall back in love in notime Until recently the 6er was doing the rounds with me in my folk band. That got some funny looks I can tell ya!
  18. [quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1389608473' post='2335954'] I'd assume this, too - doesn't he play Bongos, now? [/quote] Yup, 6 string Bongo with a 5 string neck. Weird chap lovely guy though
  19. [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1389377724' post='2333641'] If you are remotely interested, they have got a couple of John Myung's actual Yamaha basses for sale at Basscentral in Florida. [/quote] Wow! Thanks for that, some interesting stuff on there. Wish I had the money for the Tung or this beauty!
  20. Nice track, not my sort of thing but I listened it all the way through. The only thing that's bugging me is the stereo effect that seems to be on the bass, it drew my attention away from the track in general I'm afraid
  21. I've never played the JM2, I have to admit I bought the 6JM based on the fact that I loved the look, knew I liked Yamaha 6ers (especially the TRB1006 mmm) and am a bit of a dream theater fan Soundswise... I can get pretty damn close to my Pbass with everything on full which is pretty much my default setting, it's quite versatile though! They can be picked up pretty cheap so keep your eyes peeled!
  22. Don't have a JM2 but I do have a lovely RBX-6JM courtesy of our very own Lorne [sharedmedia=core:attachments:89447]
  23. I like that the pickups came off of a black bass originally
  24. [quote name='Jigster' timestamp='1389103596' post='2329951'] Ha ha - well I've got the number, now to make contact! [/quote] Make contact you say?
