If you're worried about it, try EQing your listening track with a graphic or parametric to lift out the bass line a little. If you're [i]really[/i] worried, TAB here: [url="http://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/ac-dc-its-a-long-way-to-the-top-bass-tab-s61897t5"]http://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/ac-dc-its-a-long-way-to-the-top-bass-tab-s61897t5[/url]

Don't forget the Golden Rules...

I would wait until Hiwatt reply and see what they suggest.

If there's one left, I'd like a JE book...let me know. Cheers

The RAH is a good venue and sounds good too - only downside is the beer prices

[url="http://www.bobbyvega.com/store.php"]http://www.bobbyvega.com/store.php[/url] "The pick" - $20 I'd be interested to hear what you think about it.

Mmmm - nice to see some new medium and short scale types.

Much love here for Mr B.Vega I think he has a DVD you can buy from his website.

In my experience, it's all in the wrist action - get that nice and loose and the rest will fall into place. There are many ways to hold a pick and many pick shapes and thicknesses - find what you feel most comfortable with. I'm not a fan of very heavy picks (many bass players use very thick/stiff picks 1mm or more thick). I use Tortex yellow (0.73mm) or green (0.88mm). Practice with a drum loop or metronome downstrokes and up/downstrokes and remember that palm muting with your picking hand can be fantastically effective: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6bhcDlfwWc&feature=related"]Bobby Vega[/url]

[quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1326745088' post='1501497'] I think there's quite a good sennheiser one too which is a bit cheaper, but I can't remember what it's called..... [/quote] ...Sennheiser E865 ? I would give the AT a try and see how it fares - it could be excellent if you don't play too loud. Condensors generally give a little more openess and detail which, depending on your singer, can make all the difference.

[quote name='BassBod' timestamp='1326107225' post='1492255'] The CE2 is very good - I've got the Amdek version from the early 80s (same circuit, different box) and it sounds very good...I like it a lot more now than I did back then! [/quote] I agree the CE2 is a lovely chorus. [quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1326116166' post='1492445'] I agree it's great (and I have one for sale in the Effects for Sale section ) but I don't think the flanger is great TBH, which is why I'm selling it because I mostly need flanger. if you are mostly after a chorus, it's great to have that little added versatility there with that flanger, but if flanger is your main thing you're not gonna be satisfied with what this one offers. [/quote] ...sounds like you need a 1970s Electric Mistress

[quote name='bassmachine2112' timestamp='1326620619' post='1499493'] I would shy away from a 15" cab and go for a 2x10 or a 4x10. you don't lose any bottom end[/quote] I would say this would be the best plan too - get a 4X10 extension cab for a monster 6X10 stack.

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1326301116' post='1495174'] A 12 and a horn is probably the optimum configuration for vocal cabs. For pubs you should be able to get away with 250 watts of amplifier power, although more is always better. [/quote] I agree with this - what are you intending to put through the PA...? If it's just for vocals, I would also suggest going with 12" + horn cabs...the 15" cabs I've tried are always hit and miss with vocals (same for wedge monitors).

D'addario NPS roundwound 'EXL165' (45,65,85,105) I'll take these please. You have a PM.

[quote name='lanark' timestamp='1326465659' post='1497590'] I think that, on the whole, if you've paid a lot of money for something it's human nature to convince yourself that it's made an improvement way above it's actual measurable effects. You find this especially with high-end home audio equipment - and exotic woods in electric guitars. It might make a difference, but there's always a point (usually quite low) at which price has no further effect on quality and only has an effect on marketing and bullshit. [/quote] Ah - the law of diminishing returns... I use Roto RB40 nickel and find they work well for me - nice feel and good tone with decent life...and only £12 a set. I'm tempted by this thread to try some DR Lo-Riders and also Picato sounds interesting...

[quote name='MarkBassChat' timestamp='1326265839' post='1494567'] Also a meaningful subject of the topic [/quote] I agree - you will get far more help if you title the thread subject meaningfully...

As previously stated - make sure your knob is not rubbing on your body
