Bootlegs from crappy phone recordings at gigs are a weird issue. I'd have every sympathy with Prince about distribution of original material - DVD rips / music rips etc. But amateur bootlegs....? He'd be better off following Metallica's example - you can get a 'desk-mix' from them of almost every show they did over the last few years, usually only the day after the gig. I still have old tapes from going to Donington 20 years ago. Well dodgy sound, but the occasional blinding song audible out of the sound of airborne bottles of piss. Happy days!

Anyone bought one yet?

Pair of Bergantino CN112 cabs would be perfect. I use a CN112 with a Streamliner 900 and it's brilliant! I'll be getting a 2nd cab when I have more cash

If the rock bass one is cheap enough I'm having one! I live for funk!

[quote name='Protium' timestamp='1390341772' post='2344376'] Signed and shared a few days ago, good to see the support for the venue. [/quote] Did you even read that the petition is basically a load of crap and they are not being threatened with closure? All that the residents are asking for (some of them being there for 10 years +) is for the volume to go back to its last level as the venue increased their volume level massively. That's it.

Slightly different - but my Yamaha Attitude 3 (now sold) was everything I wanted in a bass - wonderful thick grindy tone. Even the slightly heavy weight of the beast was do-able (just) But my hands are just too small for that monster neck. I kept playing it for a few months thinking I'd get used to it but all I got was tendon issues. I was, and still am absolutely gutted about it. I traded it on here for a Fender Stu Hamm Urge 2 and that is a lovely bass with a brilliant neck and it sounds superb - it's a keeper without a doubt. But it's not the Attitude sound. At some point I'll have to spec out a Warmoth build and get as close as I can to it, but with a neck I can cope with.

Russ just bought my Boss VE-20 Vocal processor. VERY prompt payment - he turned up at my door 24 hours before I expected him to!! Great bloke, very nice to meet him! (He wouldn't sing in my lounge though - so I had to be the one looking like a wally! )

Jive Honey Absolutely brilliant. Total pros. http://www.jivehoney.com/

Genuine stereo with different strings going different directions is sh*t. Unless you are Michael Manring or Victor Wooten, both of whom have done it. Then there are 2 output basses like Ricky's, some alembics and the Yamaha Attitude. These are not stereo basses - these are for splitting the signal to apply FX to different parts. So on the Attitude (as I'm familiar with them) the big chunky neck pickup gets EQ'd for super deep sounds and into 1 amp.... and the Precision pickup gets a more middy and trebly sound and all the distortion you want into a separate amp. Both signals are run at the same time, so no matter what FX you load onto the mids and highs the lows always stay super deep and clear. That signal splitting routine is done an awful lot even if a bass only has 1 output. It can be done on a pedal board / in a rack as well (but with no individual control of pickup volume without adding vol pedals etc). This is in no way a gimmick and sounds absolutely massive to the point where every band I've been in with a rig like that has decided against the continuing employment of the rhythm guitarist!

Don't know how to describe it really - it's not as slinky as my thin necked Marleaux, but it's more comfy than 5 string Fenders and Warwicks I've had, and thinner than the 5 string Stingray too. I've got quite small hands and unlike the Fenders etc I've mentioned I find the ABZ5 very comfy.

There is an ABZ5 in the classifieds...

Nik bought some strings from me, super fast payment and great communication! All good!

Genz Shuttle 9.2 or Streamliner 900 depending on your taste. I have both because I'm greedy. Both awesome with their own character.
