thanks dad

I was going to make a really off topic comment about the kinda gig that folk on talkbass play backline wise bare no corralation to gigs I've played or been to, or heard about in the uk ... but then I saw the topic had already detoured off topic
-
That's the 199 pound question isn't it? If it has a range of drive sounds that keeps folk happy then this box will sell like warm sweet bread-like products - if it has one overly baked in idea of what kinda tone it should be it won't work as well
-
Is it bad that every time we drive south to visit my parents I tell my other half I want to visit there again?
-
Think I need to keep my eyes open for a big twin! Is that the one with the 12 or 15 inch drivers?

Life is short - just go for it! -
I believe the correct response in German to this is "Geil" i picked up a '81 L1000 last year and it became my main bass
-
that's cos G&L pickups are crazy high output!
-
Interesting test - on a passive bass see if your tone control reacts differently depending on if you're using the active or passive input on the amp
-
That's a true statement but I don't think what Woodinblack was getting at.
-
well thats the important detail covered then
-
It's a big wide hairy Trace... I think the discussion you need to have with the other half is what is acceptable to keep in the house - something more modern and not as wide might work better

I picked up a Mesa walkabout 1x12 combo - sounds alright but importantly it's got green tolex, brown leather corners and a sand coloured grill so it looks good - the wife doesn't even mind if it's left in the front room. Now if I sold that and replaced it with a hairy black cab and head I think she would - regardless of size. I had a GK 2x10 combo for a bit and that wasn't a looker at all!

random Q - how much "worse" are the Zoom compressions than stand alone units?
-
you built one? Im tempted to
-
I'm on a selling group where the guy who runs it tried to have a £1 member fee and it all kicked off - I thought charging for groups was against FBs t&cs?
-
Similar - ever since I started playing I wanted one of those Status T basses - I had the money and went to bass gallery where they had two in stock... and left with my money as they sounded uninspiring to me.

Me neither - memory fail

Styling it looks like they are copying bergantino

lovely photos -
you got the religious politics GAS?

I have "my bass", and then another bass (or two) which I can swap to try out all the things I want to try out. I've mostly tried everything I want to now. Recently I sold a bass I wasn't playing much and with the money picked up a bass (L1000) that I wanted to try. I had tried one out for 5 min while buying a acoustic guitar years and years ago and it had stuck in my mind based on the way it sounded and felt. It's now probably my number one... along with the old one. So I'm not moving anything on to try new things any more. TBH the "I want to try one of these" left on my list are all more money that I care enough about trying them out. Back a few years back when it was free to stick sale posts up I probably would have floated some of my current ones, but it's too much effort, just want to play the things!

I go and play bass mostly at church on a sunday, tried it in Lidl and it didn't go down as well.
-
They were only released (to much acclaim) 4-5 years back weren't they?
-
Stilletos. Less likely to hit the lower switch if you're wearing them. Thanks... I'll duck back out of this thread
