    [quote name='JakeBass' post='38804' date='Jul 30 2007, 10:11 AM']As promised, here are a few rough soundclips. Recorded Flat on the EQ but pickup blend and the double jazz pickup at the bridge has been altered to show tonal versatility of the Warwick Vampyre. Recorded directly from the bass into the sound card and then into Cubase. Cheers[/quote] At 35 seconds was definitely my favourite.

    [quote name='Timface' post='28844' date='Jul 8 2007, 10:25 PM']And I hate Peavy!! lol[/quote] I don't like Peavey amps, but their cab reviews make for interesting reading. 'Sound Quality : 10 A 1995 Bass Player magazine did a shootout with 4X10 bass cabs under $1000, and several blindfolded experts thought this Peavey was a $999 Eden or SWR. My first 4X10 was a Carvin, so when I tried out the Peavey for the first time, I almost wept! Thunderous, rich lows, beautiful mids. The Carvin is now a cat-scratching post.' (on 410TX CAB) citation would be super.

    That looks great! That looks really great! I wish I could pull off something like that.

What finish are they supposed to complement? Great buys by the way Tinman, you and your spoose have excellent taste.

    You really shouldn't tease us with those block inlays when the bass you're selling is 'back to its original spec'!

    I call them ignorant. They don't have the mental capacity to understand the ability the likes of Jamerson demonstrated. I don't think bassists should get lots of coverage; we ought to be the modest, the understated, the unrequited geniuses. Although fellow bassists appreciate it, of course.

(if I've got that right).

    [quote name='obbm' post='38453' date='Jul 29 2007, 01:03 PM']Maybe fit a Dark Star, maybe use it. We're a 60s/70s covers band so it fits, muddy tone and all. I once had an EB0 which was nice to play as I have smallish hands. At the sort of price they are going for it would make an alternative bit of fun to Squier Vintage modified, and it's not a Fender.[/quote] Non too fond of the Darkstar tone personally, although they look cool. If you have a look on Ebay be sure to use a typo site as it seems everyone trips over when spelling epihone, regardless of how well inlaid the headstock is

    [quote name='dood' post='38400' date='Jul 29 2007, 11:33 AM']In another thread Ped was asking about microphones for miking up his gear. I have heard some really good results from the T-Bone Condenser microphones. Especially for vocals. I think Shure gear has always been artificially higher in price. I don't think it is because they are actually better than everything else either - I guess there's the perception that if something is higher in price it must be. nooo-h'waaaaay![/quote] I think Shure have earned their price. Their reputation has allowed for elasticity. I have used Thomann and Shure mics. I'd go with Thomann if you're impressed by the price. Those crazy Germans.

    paul, the replied to obbm's topic in Bass Guitars

    Has anyone compared them to a vintage Gibson? Or is it just that some people don't like the muddy tone? What would you do it with it ('project') if you were to acquire one obbm? paul?

    [quote name='Oxblood' post='38345' date='Jul 29 2007, 06:30 AM']I can't claim the credit for that. If you go to [url="http://www.ricksuchow.com/press-group-112.html"]the link that stewblack provided[/url], you'll reach the website of a bassist called Rick Suchow. I believe he did the isolation. The only way it could have been achieved, to the best of my knowledge, would be if Motown were recording in multi-track originally - or at least laying down the bass on its own track.[/quote] Standing in the Shadows has some isolated parts. The tone makes me melt.

    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='38344' date='Jul 29 2007, 05:27 AM']Aye its true enough, Tonyf and I reached a deal over his. Its a gorgeous sounding amp - less grindy than an Ampeg, clearer than the Bass400+ (although that is a nice amp), warmer than an Aguilar. In short full, clear, well balanced and sweet. I just need to get some cabs for it and hopefully that'll happen in a few weeks. Phyrexian has his for sale up on Talkbass IIRC. I don't know if he's sold it yet.[/quote] Oh swish.

    [quote name='obbm' post='38350' date='Jul 29 2007, 07:47 AM']When I took it apart to fit the J-Retro I could find no identifying marks on the pick-ups so I emailed Lakland to ask the difference between Aeros and Laklands own. The Aeros in my DJ5 are plastic covered but this DJ4 has cloth covered wires so back again. So there you go it's a DJ4 factory fitted with Lindy Fralins, hardly to the published spec but I'm well pleased. For future reference it might well be worth having a look inside to check before buying a Daryll Jones. paul,the - Sorry[/quote] Yeeeaarrrghhh! Congrats on your purchase obbm, I am most pleased for you. Let me know if you ever want to sells it. How much does she weigh by the way? Cheers, paul, the.

    Ahhhh! I knew exactly what was going to happen next, that's very creepy. I don't think I've seen that clip in at least 12 years.

    I'm watching Marley's sons covering his songs at Glastonbury on BBC4 now. Marley's original bassist Aston Barrett is playing for them and he's getting loads of coverage despite being the most inconspicuous on stage.
