I thought it was a week on sunday! Feck. I am going to france (It would be a smile but we're spending the weekend with my gf's parents)

[quote name='Oscar South' post='194372' date='May 8 2008, 03:54 AM']Interesting to see that a few people run their comp after distortion, I read or was told a while back that its much less effective that way as its much harder to compress a distorted signal than a clean one (something to do with all the extra overtones the distortion creates or something).[/quote] I wouldn't know about overtones but... If you distort a signal, you are clipping the peaks. This is basically a really harsh form of limiting, so (depending on your amount of OD/fuzz) you loose a lot of your dynamic range, which is quite like using a compressor or limiter. Distortion before compression means that your playing dynamics can still fully react with the dirt pedal, while the compressor does whatever you've set it to do.

Sounds like a great venue! I love it in tiny places where the audience are right in your face.

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='193944' date='May 7 2008, 03:33 PM']Is that supposed to be funny cheddatom?[/quote] "group hug" represents the general atmosphere of this thread. I'm enjoying it. The state of undress of the men in the picture I thought would be funny, yes. Do you not agree? Never mind, you can still join in the group hug

[quote name='Dusty' post='193577' date='May 7 2008, 02:51 AM']P.s, could not vote as I'm torn between the two... but the J would probably just win it![/quote] Don't be such a pussy! [quote name='bigjohn' post='193700' date='May 7 2008, 11:06 AM']I love my pj. I've got two necks for it. One j and one p. It's like doing twins.[/quote] Awesome.

Welcome. Check out the free track mixing thread in off topic if you want some help with your band's stuff.

I think the sound of a bass has nothing to do with the amount you pay for it etc. I think it's the "playability" the smothness of your neck's join, ot the frets or whatever. I personally have no problem playing a sh*tter of a bass. I treat it as a challenge. As long as the intonation's ok, and I'm playing through a decent rig, I can make it sound good. The amount of players who have borrowed my rig to use with a sh*t bass and have sounded amazing......

[quote name='BassManKev' post='193072' date='May 6 2008, 04:55 PM']i asked, but got no help all i was told was to email akai, and i never got a reply[/quote] Ahh, that's a bit crap. I bet someone could have fixed it but didn't notice your thread. I would have had a crack but not for £150! You played the odds, you might as well forget that the other guy fixed it as it was just as likely he'd just chucked £150 down the crapper.

Yep, same here Kev. I find the boss units a little boring.

Yeh, i've got cheap little ABs for £10 in local shops before.

[quote name='BassManKev' post='193021' date='May 6 2008, 04:05 PM']broke, mate tried to fix it, melted the circuit board, sore story made worse by the person i sold it to, for £150, managing to fix it[/quote] Oh dear Kev! Should have sent it to a techy on here!

[quote name='BTGAndy' post='192764' date='May 6 2008, 10:48 AM'][url="http://www.trailertrashpedalboards.com"]Trailer Trash Pedalboards[/url] The only option guys, I bought one recently and it's the best thing since sliced bread.[/quote] Check out the glowing boards! I need a change of underpants.

I've slapped a P. I liked it! I can't beleive how close this is. I thought P was an obvious winner from the way people are always on about them. It seems everyone without a fender is voting J? I thought a good idea would be to do google image search for "precision bass" and "jazz bass". I was sure i'd get some looser for P and some sexy chic for J, but.... P J

[quote name='BassManKev' post='192678' date='May 6 2008, 09:13 AM']it has a wet dry blend AND a bass boost eq [/quote] Yeh, I can't get it to "hold my bottom end" it just boosts the f*ck out of it! I wouldn't buy an ODB-3 instead of a big muff. Two different effects imo (OD and Fuzz). EDIT: £100? Buy a B2.1U!!!!!

What do you get if you cross an angry girlfriend with a bass? An easy solution.

[quote name='tauzero' post='190702' date='May 2 2008, 04:52 PM']I'm disappointed. I voted for neither and my vote was rejected. What sort of democracy is this, eh? What's wrong with being able to vote "none of the above" rather than having to select between a dreary lump of wood with sort-of-one pickup and a dreary bit of wood with two pickups? Eh?[/quote] If you don't care about the issues you shouldn't want a vote. That's why there are only two options. I'm dissapointed that some people have voted for both, this is about having to choose. Just for fun though

[quote name='Cantdosleepy' post='190684' date='May 2 2008, 04:24 PM']This 'gay' joshing is lame.[/quote] I did apologise for starting it. I didn't think of the consequences of my actions. Have you voted?

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='190672' date='May 2 2008, 04:13 PM']me? I'm just generally angry you're more than welcome to come round and have a go, but if this is you, then i'm not too worried [/quote] No, i'm the gorilla, i'd be worried!

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='190638' date='May 2 2008, 03:37 PM']you could come round my house and say that if you want - i'll give you a lesson on how it feels to be hit in the face with the lower bout of a P bass [/quote] Someone's angry at their inner gay tendencies! How's about I come round and teach you the joys of receiving anal "rape"?

[quote name='neepheid' post='190606' date='May 2 2008, 03:09 PM']You appear to have made the assumption that all P bass players are male.[/quote] Sorry, and I've started off a wave of homophobia. Never mind!

P is masculine, J feminine. P players are gay?
