Can I cheat and say my Zoom B2 multi-effects pedal? After all, it is only one pedal (and it even includes the tuner!)

I would agree with those suggestions. I love Pino's recent work with John Mayer. How about: James Jamerson Bernard Edwards Paul McCartney ?

Or maybe a Crate Powerblock plus headphones.[/quote] Ooh...I'd be very interested in hearing the DR250 cab. I'm about to finish my Omni 10 and may consider upgrading to a DR250 sometime in the future.

Thanks for the heads up - I keep missing "Standing..." whenever it's on TV.

I should be there. I'll bring my Eden WTX260 along - nice and light to carry!

I think it's the fact that most C&W songs sound identical that I dislike it so much. Although that's probably also the reason I love the blues so much. Hmm, I think I've just out-argued myself! OK, how about these reasons for disliking Country and Western music? [list] [*]The whiny voice that accompanies every song [*]The cowboy hats [/list]

I'm a 'no frills' type of player anyway, so the 2EQ option is looking more attractive at the moment. Or will I regret not getting the more versatile version in the long run...? Heh heh

Hi all Just a quick question regarding Stingrays. Apart from the obvious 'missing' mid eq knob/functionality on a 2EQ Stingray, is there a reason for the big difference in price between a 2EQ and 3EQ Stingray? E.g., [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/products.php?s=&k=stingray&x=0&y=0&m=Brands&c=Products&r=Price+Range"]Check out the top two prices[/url] Many thanks Rick

Fantastic! Thanks, guys - this should give me more than enough to think about. Rick

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=27195&hl=shops"]Good bass shops thread[/url][/quote] Heh heh. I did a quick search for a thread like that before posting this one and couldn't find anything suitable. Typical!

Hi all I will be purchasing a new bass in November/December time and was wondering which places (in the East Midlands/South Yorkshire area) I will need to check out. I already know about Electromusic in Doncaster but I would like to visit a few shops to try out as many basses as I can. I live in Lincoln and anywhere within a couple of hours drive would be fine. I am (almost certainly) buying a Stingray, but I could be tempted with other options as and when I see/try them. Many thanks Rick

1st bass - Mexican Fender Jazz Bass 1st guitar - Yamaha Pacifica

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. The rocky part always gets me as we play it quite late on in our last set and my fingers are beginning to tire. Must Practice More

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='239107' date='Jul 14 2008, 01:03 PM']Not sure I agree with that. Just bought an iMac after usings PCs for 15 years and the iMac is better built, faster, quieter and the software is in a different league to anything I've ever used on a PC. Yes, I could have bought a top notch PC for half the price with Vista, but sometimes you do get what you pay for.[/quote] Uh-oh - let's not start a 'PC v Mac' argument. I've seen them before on forums and they ain't pretty!

I am tempted but unfortunately, as it's Fathers' Day, I have to stay at home whilst my little one tells me how much he loves me in the only way a 16 month old know how - by climbing all over me and poking at my eyes.

[quote name='tauzero' post='204347' date='May 22 2008, 03:13 PM']The future Mrs Zero can sing rather well and would love to be in the band, but the band axis is the drummer and guitarist (I've only been in for three years, so I'm a newcomer) and they're reluctant to have a female singer for some reason. I think they're being rather closed-minded. Still, I shall carry on trying, and I suspect the drummer's wife will also try putting her oar in for the future Mrs Zero.[/quote] What about setting up an 'audition' for the future Mrs. Zero just to see how it goes. The drummer and guitarist may like what they hear...

I have only ever had one audition (with my current band) and I found that, although I was the least best player/backing vocalist out of the three that auditioned (don't get me wrong - I can still kick ass! ), I was the one who 'fitted' in the best, and therefore got the job. I think that this it related to what cetera said earlier about making sure that you get on with the rest of the band - it makes it so much easier for them to choose you.
