    bump - still looking for the right bass/cash offer. £650 posted including case and open to offers.
  2. P-T-P
    Bought a vocal effects unit about this time last year, turned out not to be what we wanted so needed to return under Distance Selling Regs 7 day return provision. No problem on that front from their T&C's but couldn't get through to speak to anyone on phone or get a reply via e-mail so to ensure returned within 7 days posted to the only address on the web site (at the time) which, it turns out, was the shop address. Despite including letter detailing reasons for return. item disappeared into the ether at shop and took a week or so to be located and approval of refund agreed. Took several further phone calls and a couple of months before refund was actually processed, despite promises each time. Not that there was any dispute over refund, just never seemed to get done. Would still use again but for me and other band members, they wouldn't be automatic first choice unless great price or availability was in their favour.

    Another -1 for Interparcel and TNT UK Express Next Day Guaranteed only guarantees they will delivery the day after they collect, i.e. booked for collection today but turns out the driver won't make it in time today so has re-scheduled for tomorrow (though only find this out after 20 minutes on the phone). In theory, they could wait 5 weeks to pick it up and so long as they deliver the day after, there is no come back. What's the point in that? Apparently this applies to all the Interparcel options except "Interparcel Premium" so might be worth noting that in the list. Annoyed in Chepstow.

    bump
  11. P-T-P
    Bump Still a couple of interested parties but no firm deals as yet. Looks like I have sorted new rig (or part thereof) so want to move this on. Looking for a bass head of the small, light and powerful kind so open to part-ex deal.
  12. P-T-P
    PM'd cabs hopefully mine!
  13. P-T-P
    bump Willing to trade both basses for something nice. Price drop on Lakland to £550. Warwick down to £650 and very much open to cash offers as would like to turn this into something different. FYI a natural one of these with later ovangkol neck sold recently for £770 and a fretless one on eBay went for £675 recently so £650 is already a pretty decent price and as I say, I'm open to offers.

    [quote name='crez5150' post='653125' date='Nov 12 2009, 10:00 PM']Whats your budget...... ? I'd say spend around £300 on a used Motu 828 MK2 and that will see all your needs through[/quote] +1 [quote name='Musicman20' post='653173' date='Nov 12 2009, 10:44 PM']Hmm....maybe I should do some saving first instead of buying and then having to upgrade. Basically, whats the best way to record to a Mac, under £500, with everything included?[/quote] As above. I have one of these. under £300 on eBay, works a treat and plenty of inputs to allow you to record rest of band all in one hit. Alternatively, could look at one of the later POD Live and x3 models as they come with USB audio interface which can easily get you going. The POD Toneport and POD Studio interfaces are okay too, but they are limiting in that you can only hear what you're putting into them through the built in output (i.e. can't redirect through another interface or onboard speakers).
  18. P-T-P
    Ideally you need some kind of audio interface rather than using the onboard mic input. You can get simple jack to USB type ones for around £30 or so. More sophisticated ones for £70-£100 moving on to multi-track (2+ inputs, usually with a mic pre-amp(s) of some kind) from £100 and up. Depends whether you plan to record more than one track at a time and what you have to spend. Some reasonable headphones and/or monitor speakers are probably a must as well because the onboard speakers of a laptop or PC monitor won't do your music any justice.
  19. P-T-P
    I use a MOTU 828 Mkii Firewire Interface. Has 2 mic inputs (XLR/Jack combi) plus an additional 8 jack inputs for a total of 10 analogue inputs. Also has 2 x SPDIF and ADAT I/O which means you can add something like the MOTU 8Pre on top to get a total of 20 inputs (10 with mic input). It also has loads of analogue outs as well so can either use them to through-put the sound (if you were recording live for instance) or configure them in pairs to get 4 seperate monitor mixes etc. I'm far from experienced in these things but it's very easy to get to grips with. You can pick them up on second hand on eBay for about £250 to £300. Careful however as there is also some USB versions knocking about and the new price on those is/was only about £300-£350 so make sure you pay accordingly. Love mine though, dead easy and has enough to record loads of tracks in one hit, especially if your iMac is one of the more recent ones with lots of oomph under the bonnet.

    1996 Warwick Corvette Proline V [attachment=38284:warwick_01.jpg][attachment=38285:warwick_02.jpg][attachment=38286:warwick_03.jpg] [attachment=38291:warwick_04.jpg][attachment=38292:warwick_05.jpg][attachment=38289:warwick_06.jpg] [attachment=38290:warwick_07.jpg] This one's a beauty and the most comfortable Warwick 5 string I've ever played. Really beautiful tone that cuts through amazingly in the mix and has a huge tonal sweep, making it extremely versatile. Body wood is flamed maple with burgundy oil finish which has been regularly waxed and has a lovely shine to it. Neck is also flamed maple which, IMHO, is significantly better than the current spec for this bass which features the ovangkol neck. It is slim and fast and lovely and is capped with a beautifully grained wenge fingerboard. The nut is the brass, just-a-nut type which basically means you can individually adjust the height of the strings at the nut as well as at the bridge. The bass comes with a Bass Centre hard shell case. Really want to sell this to help fund another purchase so now willing to let it go for £525 posted which is an absolute steal. PM me or drop a line to pete at peteward dot co dot uk

    Had to accompany my missus to see Tom Jones a few weeks back. Given that he comes across on TV as being a bit up himself and a lot of the time he seems to be singing squarely on the beat (something that bothers me a fair bit), I wasn't really anticipating much. How wrong I was. Singing was top notch, much more soulful than a lot of the recordings and the whole stage act was very much tongue-in-cheek, not taking himself seriously at all. The band were terrific too and I was surprised at how many of the songs I knew. Only slightly weird part was realising that about half the songs he played were actually cover versions and I was kinda waiting for the break for bingo lol

    [quote name='Golchen' post='650470' date='Nov 10 2009, 11:13 AM']Is good bass playing on recordings just for bass playing listeners?[/quote] Depends on what you mean by good. If you mean flashy, fretboard gynastics or some of the more exotic techniques and tones then possibly. But any bassline that works for the tune, whether it be tastefully sparce or tastefully complex, isn't just for the bass playing audience. It may only be the bass players who can pnpoint the who, how, what, when, where and why of it all and appreciate the efforts of the player and the note/tone/technical choices they've made; but other listeners will get it in a more general sense, even if they don't know why. It's when the bass gets involved in a way it shouldn't that it becomes about playing for other bass players. The irony is that for me at least - and I suspect a fair few other bass players out there - that's probably the least impressive thing you can do. In other words, I think good bass playing stands out by not necessarily standing out.

    [quote name='Rich' post='638996' date='Oct 28 2009, 12:39 PM']Yes, and having played it at OG's place I love love love your DJ5 too. Absolutely gorgeous.[/quote] LOL Well I may yet be able to make it to the S. Wales Bash and if I can I'll bring it with me and if you're gonna be there, you can remake acquaintances with it.

    As these live vids go, this is definitely a good one and Adam almost always has great tone. If you've not seen them in person though I recommend it as the DVDs can't really reproduce the experience of being there. If you think the Vertigo stage/lights was great, the 360 one will blow you away. Saw them three times this summer and while sound at Wembley was crap where I was, Sheffield and Cardiff were incredible.
