Job done.[/quote] I think you may well be right. I think im fighting a losing battle against going corporate! I played a 75RI the other day that i reallly liked. /i even think those are mexican these days arnt they? Hmm! On a lighter note, my first gig with these guys tonight, im excited!

Its completly bass specific for me! I do like having the option to have a passive switch on an active bass though. I dont think id be happy with my slap tone on a passive bass and thats about my only commited answer!

Well! Sorry ive been away a bit, we got a last minute deal to go to spain and boy, did i enjoy myself. Although ive come back liking mountains and pece and quiet... Anyway, After the departure of my old band i swiftly sold all my gear expecting not to play for the next ten years... how wrong i was! I've just signed a two and a half year contract with The Locals, a cracking blackpool based band. Thus, i need a new bass. But my outlook to custom gear and the likes has changed somewhat. With all thses contracts and business decisions i really do think i want a Tool that fits a purpose. Have a listen to the music, www.myspace.com/thelocalsblackpool - The old bassist used a jazz and i think it sounds quite nice myself, but live i really need a bit more drive which is why im thinking a jaguar might do the trick. Answers on a postcard! And if anyone does have a Jag they can post soundclips of i'd be mighty pleased.

Used to be! I dont even own my own bass anymore... Mind you, that should change very shortly. I have big things on the horizon

Gibson GAS!

What exactly are you asking recomendations for matey? Programs? What bass to use? What lines to play? In that order; - For one bass sample audacity should be ample. Its freeware. quick google should do the trick. - The bass your wanting to exhibit...! - A line that shows the strengths of the basses tone. Simple example being i'd find a dusty end run would sound better to my ears on a jazz than a P.

I really dont think its worth spending more than about £20 for ipod headphones. I'd go the extra mile for studio/hi-fi but the age old phrase "your rigs only as good as your worst component" - If the components a 70p heapdphone pre i'm happy to pay for comfort and a bit of extra bass and thats about it! FWIW i use JVC in ears, [url="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&sku=536085&Q=&is=REG&A=details"]These in fact[/url], and theyre very comfy and i dont have to think about what im listeninng too. they just do a job when im out and about

Common sense tells me that if you found the 610 not bassy enough then you definately wont like they smaller lighter model any better. Unfortunately i dont have any experiance with either!

lovely!

I would go for the Edirol/Sonar audio interfaces - (Sonar Cakewalk use them, which is what I have) - they are VERY good. Seperate drivers, no mucking about, the works. If you use USB and your PC and/or soundcard is even slightly off it's game you will just sign up for a world of latency pain.[/quote] Im going to agree and disagree on the firewire/USB debate. Yes, If your recording over 4-6 tracks youll need firewire to handle the data, but i've found anything under that even USB 1 seems to be quite happy.

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='433458' date='Mar 13 2009, 11:56 AM']I think one of the Fender Stu Hamm or Urge or something basses had a JPJ configuration[/quote] Yes indeedy, but i too would be interested to see a P at the back and j in the "normal" position. Humm...!

one of the reviews in my old band started "OHMYGODTHERESTOOMUCHAHPPENINGTHEREGOESMYBRAIN" //meh!

[quote name='silddx' post='432329' date='Mar 12 2009, 12:32 PM']I bought a box of 5000 staples in September last year. After I had carefully checked the contents, I found there were three missing! I complained bitterly to the shop, who then contacted the manufacturer. I received an envelope in the post few days later containing an apology and not three, but TEN staples! I was made up [/quote] Im going to formally remove a "life" point for that...

I really like Peds Style. Great Groove. Get him a haircut and a nice set of threads and he could really be something

Have you been in what used to be sound control in preston recently Al? Theyve got some cracking basses in there, a load od sandbergs and a beautifull 70's RI Jazz that i very almost put money down for. I had to run out the shop! Lovely Lot youve got there!

A quick google tells me that indie do a union jack bass that comes in at around £300 (which is still about £250 to much imo....) But this company is taking the piss... [url="http://www.importedinstruments.com/acatalog/info_26.html"]http://www.importedinstruments.com/acatalog/info_26.html[/url] £900?!!?!
