Marshall Jackhammer is an incredibly versatile OD/Dist pedal, and rather cheap too. It'l do all the sounds you mentioned and more, definately a good baseline to start with in terms of dirt, and maybe like me you'll love it and keep it. Mine was only £21 off ebay. Liam

I play with a pick for the most part (Except softer songs where i use fingers and also tapping when i feel lazy) as it just gives the sound i like. I find a pick gives that extra bit of bite and definition when using overdrive, which really works for my bands live sound. I could play the same gig with my fingers, it just wouldn't sound as good to me. Also: Real Bassists don't give a crap what they use. Liam

Tested one of these in Dawsons a few weeks ago, and i was mightily impressed. Using a Squier VM Jazz and the SP410 cab. I can now see why these things are so highly rated, and later this year i'll likely get one myself. Like others have said, OTB + Super12 would be one MONSTROUS rig. Liam

Wahey, i love free things Be showing this to my boss too, no doubt he'll find some use for it. Liam

Welcome, and personally i'm more interested in that Acrylic jobbie in the rack on the right. Liam

So far this year i've bought a precision, pedalboard, pedals, power supply, cables, strings, strap, picks, and i need a few more pedals, some more strings, a pickup, bridge and P bass wiring harness. Safe to say, i have a severe case of GAS, but thankfully, a lack of funding to support said GAS. Liam

EBMM Bongo (Just for the preamp) Sandberg Overwater Ibanez SR (The higher end ones, i've tried a few of the 5xx and 7xx which were amazing) Sadowsky Brubaker Lakland G&L Schecter Dean Eric Bass And a few more that i cannot be bothered searching my brain for at the moment. Liam

[quote name='musophilr' timestamp='1339675524' post='1692438'] ... which leads me to the fraught subject of finding a new house. Not just one that ticks the usual location, price, and environment boxes, but also has a ground floor layout convenient for using its biggest room as a studio. [/quote] The upstairs of my house is perfect for that. The room i'm in is the biggest, and it shares a wall (insert window here) with my oldest brothers bedroom, which is the perfect size for a control room. Liam

When your biggest concern whilst re-arranging your bedroom, is the storage location of cases, and where you're going to put your stand. So far i still haven't got it fully worked out. Liam

[quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1339598095' post='1691210'] Girlfriend not wife.. what do you call your unmarried other half in internetland? Ms Chaypup? [/quote] I stand corrected, either way, make sure she's good with it. Liam

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1339596971' post='1691180'] Do the gigs mate! You can go on holiday whenever you want, opportunities come but very rarely! Truckstop [/quote] +1 to this, as long as your wife is okay with it of course. Liam

Looks like a lovely kneck Liam

Maple, just prefer the look of it. If i can get a bass with a maple board, i'll get it with a maple board. Liam

That looks like a blast. I already have a holiday to pay for, so this year is unfortunately a no go for me, but if it's ran again next year then that's definately a possibility. Liam

Cliff Burton (Metallica) Paolo Gregoletto (Trivium) Paul Gray (Slipknot, Especially the MFKR Era) Fred Leclerq (Dragonforce, notably their latest album) Kasim Sulton (Ex. Neverland Express/Meatloaf) Brian Robinson (A Wilhelm Scream, just listen to The Horse) Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) Chris Wolstenholme (Muse, need i say anything?) Shavo Odadjian (System of a Down) Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse, no matter whether you like the music or not, the man is a monstrous bass player.) All in no particular order of course, just guys i think are brilliant bass players. Liam

Mike Dirnt - as other's have said, has some absolutely brilliant basslines Paul Gray - Just listen to the MFKR Album/EP, notably the songs [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O6PyzalVtU&feature=related"]Confessions [/url]and [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OihqhZtqslc&feature=relmfu"]Killers Are Quiet.[/url] Pete Wentz isn't a bassist, as much as i love Fall Out Boy, i don't like him at all. He spends too much time licking his bass and too little playing it. Liam

[quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1339509031' post='1689512'] Where did you buy this from. You mentioned a shop, but I don't seem to be able to find anywhere that stocks it... Cheers Geoff [/quote] I'd hazard a guess at Thomann, i vaguely remember seeing Ashton stuff on there, though i may be mistaken. Liam

When i can afford a custom i'll likely use Robbie at RIM basses. I've bounced a few ideas off him in the past and he seems like a really nice guy, and some of the basses he makes look phenomenal. Liam

"Thanks, glad you liked it" is what i normally come out with. I seem to get it more frequently than my guitarist and vocalist do too, as i stand out (for various reasons) on stage. I'm also the guy who takes the time to talk to fans before/after gigs too. Liam

[quote name='mikeh' timestamp='1339486600' post='1689005'] You can almost my toe, from last nights rehersal [/quote] Is that a natural/maple Sandberg i see there? Liam

I'm not a drummer but i'll still join. I'm very much a fan of drums, i even have a kit planned out, i just can't afford it yet, nor have the space. One day.. one day.... Liam
