I don't normally like white or white pearl guards, but I think they suit this bass the best followed by black! Tort world look pretty badass too. Always wanted an orange P... might have to try a classic vibe with a Capri orange refin!

Maybe it depends how you have it set, but in that video the volume dropped quite a bit when kicking it on!

You could spend £300 on fx and not even get close, or you could just buy SUB Ray4 instead and sound bang on!

Get a small-jack-plug-to-large-jack-plug lead from the V-amp to the line in of your laptop. You won't want to plug a passive bass straight into a line input because the impedance mismatch will alter the tone. Then record the samples using Audacity which is free software. If you want to play and have the sound come out of the speakers in real time then install the low latency ASIO4ALL driver and set Audacity to use the sound card in ASIO mode.

I guess he means two-piece body, which you can tell by looking at the grain. Fender (and most other manufacturers) usually use two or three pieces for their bodies. If they are well matched it's very hard to see the join.

As I predicted, the switch on the crossover and you get a volume drop. Therefore as you won't be doing this mid song they should have made that a toggle switch and made the second footswitch do something useful like a feedback loop. Also those filters sound quite resonant - something which sounds good for a wah or a synth, but not on a crossover!

Yamaha BB1025X is the bass you are looking for! I used a BB415 in my last band (kinda stoner rock) and it fit in perfectly. With both pickups on it sounds like a cross between a P and a J on steroids. There's a BB425 going cheap in the for sale section too, but the BB1025 is a step up in quality and matches your budget. http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/BB1025XOVS.html

Maybe this should have gone in the bass porn section.

It only hums as much as a normal Jazz bass. Never did Jaco any harm!

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1358583183' post='1941600'] I have to confess that I am not a fan of digital amps (a sweeping generalisation but I've owned or at least tried in a real-life situation many of the main players), I find that they lack what I would defined as 'thump/punch' in the low end. [/quote] Have you tried the Orange Terror Bass then? Thumps like a mofo.

A black BB2025X with ebony would be my dream bass. Best start saving!

[quote name='Gareth Hughes' timestamp='1358526462' post='1940905'] I've been thru the mill with overdrives - from a SanaAmp, to a Tech21 Leeds, to using a blend pedal with a BassPod, to .... and honestly the most satisfying pedal I've used is a £30 Harley Benton 'American Sound' pedal - reported to be a clone of a Tech21 Blonde pedal, which itself is a Fender Bassman clone. From all things Motown to early Gene Simmons (check out 'She' or 'Watchin' You') to all out fuzz - this thing makes me happy, [/quote] Yeah, I forgot about those, good shout. They do a British ripoff as well I believe for more of a Marshall sound as well as what looks like a Sansamp BDDI/VT clone: http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_american_truetone.htm http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_britsh_truetone.htm http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_bdi2000.htm

Wooly Mammoth if you want a gated fuzz, otherwize the SFX Micro Fuzz or MXR Bass Fuzz Deluxe!

I wouldn't recommend a stock ODB-3 for this purpose as it's not really an overdrive. I have one and like it best set for mega distortion!

Digitech Bad Monkey - not sure what you can get one for these days but I saw them going for £25 new a few years ago! Get the Humphrey or SFX modded version for better bass response than stock.

Dealers in the US have been blowing out the AV 57 and 62 Precisions for under $1100, cheaper than the American Standards!
