Despite being 99% fingers and thumb I often practxe with a pick on certain tracks and styles at home. A for fun and B it's another string to the bow as it were. I love dropping the bass low and picking through placebo, gnr etc I've only ever used blue sharkfins though I drag the serrated edge up for a real grindy sound.

heres a few of moi

I use monster cables throughout, leads , patch leads and speaker cables. I reckon I need to hit up our very own obbm next time though only heard good things!!

My local store has em in at 200 and 300 not tried em yet. Don see them fitting in many bags cause they are so long. Still want the 350w one though just cos!!

Strange I just picked up a rather knackered one from a basschatter too, not got it yet but excited despite the large amounts of tlc required.

Argh! Tricky! I really appreciate the request for advice Rob. This is my old ray he's got so I know exactly how good it is and it's bloody marvellous and should appreciate a lot when the Market recovers. I'd err on the side of the vigier. It's a new string to the bow and I think sometimes vintage basses are a bit iffy to gig lots, and it may start to need tlc. Also knowing how much you like the pimp ray you have if the old one dosnt work out the chances of finding another piezo matching headstock sparkle ray arent too high. The original retail on that sucker was 1700. Then again if I found a '76 jazz in sonic blue with maple, I'd prob sell my soul to Satan and not look back !! Also why us the bass much cheaper than usual?, sometimes a worry. Yup I reckon I'd steer vigierwards. But hopefully whichever you choose will work better for you than your luck has lately lol! Gaf

Crazy dude, just crazy.

Happy new year fellow basschatters hope it brings you all niceness 'n stuff.

Sounds like you should sell that nasty squier to me!

Thanks dude

I live by the rule it dosnt matter how good you are, there is always someone better very close by! Best to stay humble and not get your parade rained on heh heh.

Thanks mate when I get paid I may try one

I love this tune but have also never been able to nail the intro, I swear it's slightly out of tune! I'll try these suggestions out nice one!

Heh yeh I really do suck at this stuff! Luckily it as just the johnny Brooke jazz copy.

Cheers dude, I can't do anything technical but I'm hoping father in law can fix it. Anyone got a link to a suitable socket and switch? I reckon it is the socket as there is a gold springy flat bit of metal on the top that sticks up too far compared to the other ones, making the contact with the end of the jack dodgy.

I've only ever played bass, never wanted to play the guitar or any of that nonsense, still have no desire to either bass all the way for me.

I'll try to post a pic, I just attached wires to things till sound came out when I tapped the pups with a screw driver. The gone control still seems to do something it goes from wooley to woolier!! Oh yeah and it now buzzes like an mf!

A knob dude

Either way I know that Chris wolstenholme is a serious pedal freak and owns a multitude which he uses in all sorts of combinations (when recording). It's just a case of getting it as close as you can with what you've got or you'll spend a fortune chasing down the exact sound.[/quote] It's just called fuzz but I dunno if it was programmed by it's original owner, it's the old red pandora. Everyone just looks at me gone out when I play it as it sounds so close. I've yet to rtfm tbh but I'll try and figure out the settings for ya.

Some wires snapped when I changed a control plate, now it's as the title says, wtf have I managed to do?!?!

[quote name='Machines' post='362929' date='Dec 24 2008, 04:22 PM']I've been a member there longer than I have here but probably only have about 20 posts to my name. I find it a bit clicky if you don't have a) an old Fender or an exotic US made custom bass (this of course is my perception). They are definitely very easily offended and have little sense of humour.[/quote] ...what he said...

Cheers dude, that all seems dead complex to me so it could be the switch rather than the jack. As its the same problem, wiggle the output and the signal comes back I'll see what aphex say but by the time I've paid for a repair this would cease to be a bargain. Ah well looks like I'll have to bite the bullet on this one.

Will do, has anyone else fixed one?
