  1. If someone is dumb enough to pay £2000 for an iPhone with Flappy Bird, then they deserve everything they get. What was more astounding is people were flogging Android devices and jailbroken iPhones for inflated prices, both of which can simply install a pirate version of the game. Not to mention the fact that it's a sh1t game.

  4. I just make spaceship noises with my Carbon Copy fed into a Small Stone and find it very easy to control with the side of my foot!
  5. Hmm, now I want to try a Grabber!
  6. Sorry, no interest in one of those!

  8. I'm selling a Zoom MS-70CDR that models all of the best delay, reverb and chorus pedals going. Tons of fun, but I don't get much mileage out of it on bass!
  9. Yes, I did forget to mention that the 20 series is hand built in Japan by Yamaha's top luthiers, all the lower series are built on a production line in Indonesia.
  10. The rehearsal rooms I used to use (Rooz in London) had Orange stacks in each room for guitar and bass, with a 115 and a 410 and AD200B. They usually only had one cable though with one or the other plugged in, so I made sure the 410 was plugged in as it had more top end. I only recommended the OBC410 as I assumed you were set on a matching setup, but if you're open to other options,that's a big can of worms! An efficient cab produces more volume with the the same amount of watts than an inefficient cab. That link I posted earlier (http://barefacedbass.com/bgm-columns.htm) contains a bunch of articles that will teach you almost everything you need to know. Check out his Barefaced cab range too!
  11. Same reasons people buy most luxury items - they appreciate their finer qualities and can afford to pay for them. Apart from the voodoo heat/humidity and vibration treatments, it would have the very best quality wood selected (it has mahogany instead of nato in the neck stripes too), will have more attention to detail on the fit and finish, and better fretwork. The body is also a bit more sculpted on the 20 series - look at the reflection on the forearm contour for example: I have the 1025X and feel it was a big step up from the BB415. I would be very tempted if a 2025X came up for a good price!
  12. Normally for fingerstyle I like dark warm tones, but every now and than I like to play with a pick on the P pup, and as Lozz says, switching on the VT sounds like you just slapped on a fresh pair of rounds! For a good starting point, set bass, mids and character at 12 o'clock. Treble and gain at 10 o'clock and adjust to taste, then volume set to wherever it's equal volume to the pedal being off (which we refer to as 'unity gain' around these parts).
  13. Those two are your finest options. Kiogon can make it with solderless screw connectors as well, to make your life even easier!
  14. I recommend a BB as above, although the BB1025X is a good step up if it's within budget, and the BB2025X if you've just won the lottery. 18mm spacing at the bridge, very narrow at the nut (42mm wide). Pickup selector switch and volume/tone knobs. How much are you looking to spend? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rscMwAdyhLE[/media]
  15. I guessed it from the title alone!
  16. Nice bass tone there on Oubliette! Is that just a P-Bass with the grind provided by the MiBass, or is there a bit of VT in there too?
  17. [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1395735493' post='2405535'] I would say the sansamp para driver has become pretty rare. [/quote] Only because it hasn't sold very well - you can still buy one new today! http://www.hotroxuk.com/tech-21-sansamp-para-driver-di.html
  18. How about just buying these? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=271355771090

  20. Near Barbican, nothing that I know of. But check out Wunjos Bass Centre on Denmark Street and The Bass Gallery in Camden.
  21. That's the pedal, although I wouldn't pay that much for one when there's one in the classifieds for half that! I'm thinking of switching from my OTB also as I want something a bit brighter sounding. Might go the valve route with an Ashdown CTM100, or maybe keep it light with a GK MB500 Fusion...
  22. About mixing 115s with 410s, there's lots of threads discussing this, but the reasons against it are: - The power will be split evenly between then two, and the 410 will usually have higher power handling than the 115. - There's no advantage soundwise to mixing driver sizes unless each speaker is designed and filtered to only reproduce a specific frequency range, like you get in a hifi speaker. When it comes to bass cabs, some people might think that the 115 is providing the low end and the 410 the top, but this is not the case as both cabs are running full range. - Different driver types, and having drivers arranged side by side both contribute to poor dispersion, ie not being able to be heard clearly out in the room - The ideal arrangement for ideal dispersion is a vertical line of similar drivers. I run my Orange Terror Bass into a vertical stack of 2x Ampeg SVT210AVs which effectively gives me a 410 but arranged in one straight line. The other benefit is having speakers up by your ears instead of firing at your knees! Plenty of good info here from our Alex: [url="http://barefacedbass.com/bgm-columns.htm"]http://barefacedbass...bgm-columns.htm[/url] Basically, you are running a dark sounding bass into a dark sounding amp into a dark sounding cab. Try the EQ changes suggested and that might be enough. The AD200 has a similar style EQ but it is not the same, despite Orange saying they have the same preamp. You can get a coax brighter tone out of the AD200D than you can the OTB. The VT Bass pedal sounds great going into the OTB with a P-Bass by the way, it can add that hi-mid clank back that the amp naturally rolls off. Adding one of these or even just an EQ pedal would give you a lot more flexibility.
  23. The mid control is cut only, so setting it below noon is asking for trouble as mids are essential if you want to be heard. I run it all the way up (with treble at 1 o'clock and bass at 10 o'clock). Also, the OBC 410 is a brighter sounding cab due to it's horn (also probably louder and just as deep sounding), perhaps look at replacing your 115 with one of those if you want to stick to Orange cabs (I don't recommend mixing 115s with 410s though).
  24. On guitar, yes. Not so much on bass!
  25. You want this, so get in quick! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/232931-fender-truss-rod-tools-only-1-left The tool should come with the bass, but they often get kept by the seller if they sell the bass on, as they're handy since it's rare to buy a used bass that comes with one (which is the definition of a vicious circle if I ever saw one!).
