Shockwave

I could very well interested in one of these in bridged mode... Whats the price on a UK version one of these shipped?

Buying basses is generally a bad investment. Don't forget that more basses and guitars are being produced per year NOW then ever before. So they are unlikely to reach prices as high as current vintage instruments. Best find the cheaper vintage instruments now, and hold onto them.

[quote name='rockwaves' timestamp='1374831302' post='2153696'] Hi guys, Thanks for all the responses. To answer your questions about why we are specifically looking for a 5 string player is because we play in drop A. Although you are correct Conan, a 4 string bass can be tuned lower than E, for tonal reasons, we want someone with a 5 string which can handle the down-tuning better. If anyone is still interested in depping for some gigs immediately, get in touch here for an audition pack: [email protected] WPF [/quote] Uhh, Many 5 strings are the exact same scale length (34") as 99% of 4 strings. As long as the 4 string has the correct gauge strings and setup, tonally there would be absoloutely no difference. Pity, I am a very good player, live in London and I love your music. But at the moment I only have 4 strings. I do have a 6 and a 7 string fretless on the way, but because they have the same scale length as my 4's, "Tonally" They obviously cant hack it according to you. Op I think you are misinformed and mistaken. This a site of well informed bass players who know probably a bit more about downtuning a bass more then your good self. Of course, if its for other reasons such as "Image" then put that as your reasoning.

Hey guys. I just had to get rid of my Ampeg PF-500 for some emergency funds until pay day. I loved it because I could fully bypass the preamp on the amp so I can use my Sansamp instead. Looking at the Mibass and Little Giant and all they appear to have FX returns instead of a dedicated pre-amp in (Though the LG has a Line IN, will that be the same?). I am looking at the cheaper end of the market (Around 200-300) second hand. Need at least 400 watts at 4ohms, So is there anything out there for that cheap with fully defeatable Pre-amp? Will be paired with a Barefaced 12T

The Crackle one is an AXL Badwater. The other one is some random cheapo thing. Probably Westfield or some such.

Ibanez Jetking with the upper scratchplate taken off.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1367904929' post='2070750'] Not bad! I like the fact that the vocals don't sound like typical stoner rock and sound more like Zack De La Rocha, especially in the first one! I will say the bass is way too loud though compared to the guitars though, especially since the bass has quite a mid-present clank. I know we as bass players like to be heard but I think you overpower the mix a bit here! [/quote] It was my bands decision to bump me up in the mix! I am not one to complain! Never have I heard myself on a recording before so pretty chuffed! We got some radio play recently and things are looking up!

Have a listen to Thrices (Brilliant) version for ideas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsjoSN0eSMU

Hey guys. Just recorded my first live rough as heck demo with my new stoner/prog/rock band. One take only. Gibson Grabber with the pup slid to the neck. Sansamp VT bass Deluxe Power amp Hi-watt 1x15 2x10. Everything mic'd up. I am also doing lead vocals (They are terrible I know my first time, but no one else in the band wanted to do it.) We are tuned drop C, somethings up with my tuning/intonation as the bass sounds a little flat. Otherwise I love my tone. https://soundcloud.com/chinspinner/oubliette?in=chinspinner/sets/demo https://soundcloud.com/chinspinner/stereobeard https://soundcloud.com/chinspinner/hamfist What say you guys? I'll be honest, it might not sound brilliant, but I am bloody proud of it, never thought I could get in front of a mic and belt it out and get something close to the tone that I want.
