He's a very cool guy too. Has this screen saver on his PC at home full of photos of friends giving him the finger. Also runs a '23 Ford T-Bucket with a twin turbo V8 and nitrous putting out about 1200bhp.

Thats fantastic! Congrats mike!

I'd go for a through neck, active, stereo, broomstick neck, wide body, narrow string spacing, humbucking soapbars, ebony fingerboard and hand made.

As they are, no thanks.[/quote] you can always ask for the pickguard to be left off.

I chose the Shuttle over the Mark Bass LM1, it was more articulate and less boomy.

Hi and welcome, which functions band are you with?

I have 1200 messages in my inbox and I'm happy to share...

[quote name='Wil' post='839640' date='May 17 2010, 10:59 AM']I think of each beat as a cyclical form - imagine a clock where the second hand completes a full circle every beat, with the beat dead on 12. Playing ahead of the beat would be hitting a note at say, 10 o'clock. Playing behind would be hitting it at 2 o'clock. Obviously the exact point you hit the note would vary depending on the feel you wanted to go for in the song.[/quote] Good god man, have you been reading my posts? The way I see it, there's a 'pocket' which is however far in front or behind the beat you can get away with without totally ballsing up the rest of the band. I tend to play on the beat but prefer to play behind. Forcing yourself to stay as far behind as possible is bloody difficult to do consistently. As challenging as any widdling exercise (IMO).

I think you might be right. Would be fairly easy to get that sound with his Yammie 1010.

Get out.

OK I've disabled the flood control.

Interesting, looks like she manages to make it over to London every couple of years then?

I'm not quite sure why its in place to be honest. The spamming that happens is rarely via PM, its mostly posts.

Lovely, congrats on your new purchase!

[quote name='Mykesbass' post='838458' date='May 15 2010, 09:31 PM']Like on a violin or double bass? Surely without frets it is called a fingerboard.[/quote] +1 shows over.

Hi Shep, would you mind sending me his email address?

Boost around 25Hz, use a 2x15 or equivalent and a 4x10 or 2x10, ensure the pickups on the bass have a peak around 25-60Hz, use an Akai Unibass?

I'm reporting you to a mod.
