if the church has a half decent PA best thing is use a di box. Bass into DI, link cable into your wee amp and XLR to the desk. That way you use your amp just for yourself and the desk controls the front of house.

[quote name='Mark_Andertons' timestamp='1339357783' post='1687424'] Get down to a big big guitarshop that you can play everything there. Obviously I'd say Andertons but there are loads of others like GuitarGuitar that maybe nearer. And just play as many guitars as you can lay hands on and something will choose you. Also at risk of offending the entire forum id take the opinions of bassists with a pinch of salt. There is such a cultural gulf between guitarists and bassists and bassists have a lot of stigmas about things that they can't really claim to understand from a guitarists perspective. Not saying that's the case of any advice given here but I'd give more weight to what guitarist buddies might tell you. (please no one flame grill me I love you all really!) [/quote] do guitarists talk to one another?

[quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1339348692' post='1687225'] He's looking for a [i]good[/i] guitar, though, not a Fender [/quote] the joke is he has the strat already, and had a SG and sold it not so long ago

I should stick some photos of the Yamaha SG up, I wired some switches in for coil taps which I will mount on the back plate. so much fun! Here's the Taki,

[quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1339340303' post='1687055'] Which is why, if I were you, I'd go for two There is no one-size fits all in the world of guitars. You should be able to pick up two great guitars for a grand each and, having owned a PRS in the past, there's no way on Earth I'd spend two grand on one (or a Gibson for that matter). If I were in your position, I'd look pick up a couple of Japanese made beauties, something like an early 80's Yamaha SG and a Bacchus strat. Tokai's Japanese 335 style guitars are very nice too. That would comfortably cover all the sonic ground you'd want to. Something like this - I have something similar, amazing guitars [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bacchus-G-PLAYER-ALD-M-3TS-/370546493836?pt=Guitar&hash=item56464ac98c"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item56464ac98c[/url] And you should comfortably find an SG1000 or SG2000 with the change [/quote] Great advice there Schnozzalee.... but rather than a Bacchus stat maybe you could find a Fender American Vintage Series '57 Reissue stat (I hear 2011 is a good vintage) and then track down a Yam SG.......

Theres a cheap t45 in gumtree at the mo

I think it's not a repair and just another bit of wood that's coloured differently. Otherwise it's an impressive repair

you sure it's the preamp sounding overdriven? to me it sounds like the signal is hot enough to make something else overdrive

status graphite are the company name, but yes rods up the neck. Eclipse artist isn;t it? Nice it is

less than £40 if it sounds nice and I had no other options maybe. but I wouldn't

no one. someone gave me a bass and showed me how to play (ironically) seven nation army, and it was fun so I kept going

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1339236807' post='1685659'] I bet if you contact him and offer to he won't respond to any of your emails.. [/quote] well the advert has disappeared now

[quote name='Mike' timestamp='1339106732' post='1683957'] Says he's in Motherwell! [/quote] I can go there pick it up if you want

[quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1339205396' post='1685433'] I'd say one acoustic and one electric is the absolute minimum. For me that would be a mid 80s Yamaha FG and an early 60s Fender Strat. Which is a bit bizarre, mostly because just 3 of the 150+ guitars in my possession are Strats or Strat clones. [/quote] you have that many guitars! wow!

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1339197029' post='1685380'] Punk is Precision, Jazz, Stingray or Ric. That includes modern punk. [/quote] most popular music of the last 50 years in the uk has been precision jazz stingray or ric!

well it looks like some point the acoustic may be on it's way away and I'll keep the electric... which I just wired up coil taps too! woo! like having several guitars in one now! v exciting.

ken this thread is two years old?

Just sold Chris my old copy of Bass Culture, expect him to be hunting for the following soon: 60's fenders Alembic warwick buzzards and a few more 60's fenders great guy

I'm sure his mummy still loves him though

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1339104527' post='1683901'] I forced myself to watch 1:32 of it - imagine if you'd been in the audience and paid to be subjected to this... [/quote] oh it got worse [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1339142173' post='1684161'] Typical case of 'run before you can walk' musicality... Singer trying to be fancy without having the technique to back it up (therefore fails with her timing and intonation) and same can be said of most of the players. Bassist has obviously only just (half) learnt a single basic slap technique and has tried to implement it in a song that doesn't need it, to the detriment of the ensemble, the original groove, his own timing and any form of taste. I bet he also calls himself a 'semi-professional' or 'professional' musician because he gets paid. Muppet. [/quote] thing is I think if we saw videos of a fair few of us lot they would be similarly bad. I'm basing that on the amount of bad slap I see generally. the "what's going on" was even worse.... but it looks like an expensive bass and the tone is the kinda tone that would get people raving about soloed on here or talk bass... just in the band it fails.
