[quote name='GetYourFunkOut93' timestamp='1342556367' post='1737120'] Yeah thanks Looked at barefaced.. they might sound great.. But there ugly as hell! xD [/quote] Coming from the person who has just bought a Markbass:-) IMO they look much better with the silver cloth front option

I just bought a Mark Bass Superbooster pedal from Derrick. Within 24hrs of agreeing a price, it was at my house! Great communication, item as described, highly recommended.

Where's BRX? The Terrortones' 'Stickypants Trance' vid was cheap and superb.

+1 for the DHA VT1. It'ss what you need. [quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1341579444' post='1721231'] You think Dave will paint it black on request? (hate those finishes) [/quote] I originally wanted black, but this was Dave's response: "[font=Arial][size=2][color=#000000]I would not recommend black as the base colour, just looks poor and tacky."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2][color=#000000]The one on this thread actually looks great IMO[/color][/size][/font] [quote name='billyapple' timestamp='1341871726' post='1725585'] DHA VT1 EQ Bass Drive.

[quote name='garybaldy' timestamp='1341932872' post='1726437'] I think Dave, whilst being a lovely bloke and awesome maker of pedals, paints them with a dog or something... [/quote] Truly sloppy

Cheers folks, sounds like its just the job. The wig is a must! Len, I'd love to come over and meet up, tricky at the moment what with lots of stuff going on at home, but will def take you up on that, thanks. Reaper, eh? The plot thickens. Thanks for the advice all.

That's a lovely looking rig.

Thanks

A lot of our songs are created by jamming a groove for a while until something clicks. Unfortunately, more often than not I've forgotten what bassline I was playing by the next week. Also, sometimes I think of a bassline but will have forgotten it by the time I next pick up my bass. In short, I need a small recorder which i can put in the rehearsal room, or sing into, which will pick up bass frequencies well. Any suggestions?

[quote name='Jack Cahalane' timestamp='1342449660' post='1735207'] That's not true, Eazy E's dad was called Richard [/quote] Maybe I've been suckered into believing an urban myth! (along with many others) http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-eazye-1614134.html

trivia: Charles Wright was Easy E's father. I'm guessing they didn't have too much trouble acquiring the rights!

You've turned a savaged m***er into a very cool looking bass. Great vision and opportunity seizure. The word m1nger seems to be censored because it contains the word m1nge

I fear that Theo was typing this in an internet cafe, and got mugged as soon as someone saw that he had £1000.

However much my refinished 78 P is worth. Not much choice as it's my only one. I've never felt uneasy about pub gigs, but I don't like leaving my gear lying around at festivals. I don't even play that many festivals, but it's a good excuse for another bass :-)

[quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1341743307' post='1723344'] Turn down the bass and treble and crank the volume. [/quote] This. It took me ages to work out that this was what I needed to do to get a sound I liked out of my 2 eq stingray.,

Daughter is watching 'the frog princess' Brilliant new Orleans soundtrack, even has Dr John. Great stuff

One of those stupid spiky coloured wigs when depping on a Glam Rock gig.

A series of articles showing a proper, scientific method to prove/disprove that wood has something to do with the tone of an electric bass guitar. A 'debate' section, with two experts arguing about the topic of the month, eg 4 v 5 string, valve v SS, BO v NT, etc. etc. there is something similar in Land Rover Owners magazine (you'd be amazed how many contentious issues there are between Land Rover enthusiasts.)

Why not* totally rip off the entire Top Gear format: - 'star with a reasonably priced bass guitar'. You have an Encore P bass, and each week let a virtuoso play it and see how they make it sound, with videos online. - 'The Cool Wall' - what's cool ATM and what's very uncool. Should get those letters flooding in! - as previously mentioned, give three writers a budget of £300 to buy eg 'best bass for metal' or 'largest rig' and let them battle it out - Challenges, eg make a rig that works underwater etc. * cos it would probably be rubbish

The one on my 78 is that dark burgundy colour too.

I have one bass,one amp and one cab. However, due bigger and more frequent gigs in the near future, I'm looking at a backup bass, and a bigger cab is imminent. I may sell the 2x10 but only if I get a decent price, otherwise it will live in the band rehearsal room.

Duplicate post that my iPad won't let me delete

I'm learning lots here! I've also remembered that he laid down the superb baseline on 'The Revolution will not be Televised'

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1341400471' post='1718263'] turn the truss rod left = to loosen the truss rod = less concave neck. True or false? [/quote] That's my understanding. So the Marlin (assuming the truss rod still works) needs a fair few anti clockwise turns

Thay have a really bad name, but my first bass was identical to this(except for the bowed neck) and it played and sounded fIne. I did scores of gigs and even some recording on it. I suspect mine may have been the exception to the rule, as most people on BC say theirs were utterly sh*t

Yeah, Justin Meldal Johnston, John Paul Jones, that one from the Stranglers. I wonder if the rev. Jesse Jackson is any good :-)
