    yeah , thats exactly what he said to me, i reckon it might have some problem, the action was really high last time i played it.

    Thought so, call me Gaf my friend! I wasnt blown away either, are you the guy that bought it or did you just play in store?

    [quote name='Russ' post='187266' date='Apr 28 2008, 02:53 PM']I loved the old model they made for Steve Swallow when I first saw it in BP years back, and was pretty gutted when it finally came to market, and looked nothing like his model.[/quote] Yup...it looked ace, and then years later it was like...oh!

    I found it a tad over EQ'd sounding on active basses, more suitable to passives. I used to use a boss ge7b, but now TOTALLY recommend the hartke VXL bass attack, it has a boost facility, and a preshape and the nicest, valveiest bass drive ive come across, and its blendable, and its a DI, (and imho it flattens the much vaunted sansamp)

    I use the Gator as its mounted on my gator pedal board and have no issues at all, once i realised i may need a few more cables (3.5 to regular boss style) and emailed gator, a few days later a bunch of them ploopled through my door f.o.c, which was nice!

    [quote name='oddjob' post='186100' date='Apr 26 2008, 07:03 PM']you wanna sound big and punchy and in tune. Compressor and Tuner[/quote] Yup, dull, but def the best starting point, i wont go anywhere without compression!

    Lol, Fred was suposed to be my tutor when i was at college too, but was on tour at the time so i only saw him once, a room full of bass players jaws just dropped when he came and did a short demo. I was also assessed by him among others on a short solo piece id written at uni, which should have been nerve-wracking! if i wasnt such an arrogant little sod!

    Everyone recall Mr Peaveys attitude in BGM?, he didnt come off as the caring type! Hope you get this sorted out though mate, dont stand for this.
  10. gafbass02
    Ditto here really, googled bass forum on a whim in about '04 i reckon and found bassworld, then of course we had all the issues and bassworld and now basschat. I think i posted more on bassworld though.

    [quote name='kevbass' post='185003' date='Apr 25 2008, 03:06 AM']I wouldnt say bass was harder to play, I wouldnt say it was easier either. And Guitar strings can really get your fingers sore, its like cheese wire! And in a band context, everybody has their part to play and everyone is as equally important ( even if bassists are that little bit cooler than the rest, but shhhhh) [/quote] I have a stock answer to this issue, i always say: Bass is easier to learn, but harder to play well!

    nice thanks dude, ill look closer when i get in from work!

    Im also curious about the peterson strobostomp, it looks great, but id be worried about it taking ages, and you sounding out with everyone else that didnt tune to a peterson!? Anyone got any knows?
  14. gafbass02
    Yup, i recall a similar story straight from the Trace reps mouth about the BLX being so called because of the over excited and repeated description of it being the dogs blx by the designer when he presented the design at a meeting or something, and the name stuck!

    shims still confuse me, even after the article, does anyone have pics of shims in place as examples of different placements and their effects? (In slow typing in big letters using small words!)

    I never waxed a warwick once a week, once a month at most, and never had a prob. Warwickhunt whaddya say?
  17. gafbass02
    Mine is also chunky, and also black (with maple and matching head incidently) but even though it does have a chunky neck everytime i plug it in i still giggle and say "It sounds just like a stingray!" As i wanted one for sooooo many years, infact it was specificly the sound of a Ray that got me started (Chilis and RATM and ride, and Neds), i was like i wanna make 'that' sound, and only a ray would do, shame it took like 15 years to get one!, and over a year later i STILL havn't got over the novelty! Sorry to threadjack, lush bass good luck with the sale, the pickguard looks like an abalone one i used to have.
  18. gafbass02
    Dammit, i hate precisions, i do i hate em, i wouldnt be seen dead with the orrible, plunky things, i wouldnt, i woul... I hate you They are all lush! Now I want a P-bass, just when i was happy Beedster, i was so happy!

    Pimp my Jazz

    gafbass02 replied to Doc B's topic in Bass Guitars

    Me too, a random gold badass and white pickguard from my 75ri jazz (dosnt actually fit that well but i like the whit elook so ill get one made when funds allow) strap locks and thats it for now. Ultimately ill whack a detuner on and seeing as you lot keep banging on about wizards i may try em, but the pups on there are pretty good anyway, quite middy and barky, i luuurve my flamey necked VMJ! Its def rattlier than my fenders, but darn for the money its an Uber steal! Mines in the bass porn section

    Looks more jazzy shaped then, i thought it was a P, im still trying to find time to get back to the shop for a noodle, that colour is much nicer though.
  21. gafbass02
    yup indeedy
  22. gafbass02
    I love the hartke bass driver too, wipes the floor with the sansamp (imho). But the pedal i wont play without is my trusty old Boss CS-1 compressor, although to be fair any compressor will do!, as long as there is some squish.
  23. gafbass02
    when i was in Balance of Silence i used my warwick FNA jazzman, a stingray and a status 6 string, all worked really well.
  24. gafbass02
    Gotta admit im pretty tempted to offer my markbass 151HR as a swap for another traveller 102P to do exactly this. Just one of the little guys seems loud enough for almost anything, and my new house is so tiny even a compact 15 like the markbass is hard to fit in!
  25. gafbass02
    ill totally take the zoom
