Pinball

[font=HelveticaNeue,][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Hi, I'm hoping some Basschatters can make it along to see my band play its own brand of "[color=#141823]Alternative psychedelic post-progressive industrial rock"[/color][/font][/size][/font] [font=HelveticaNeue,][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]As we're a relatively new band, I was having problems finding gigs for the "Badgers" to play. After some persistent pestering I have a few gigs lined up. The first is a cracker as theThunderbolt. They got back and said they liked the name and what they heard on sound cloud and that they had a free night on the 8th of October. If we could put something together we could play then. Now we have an interesting 4 band line up and are all set to go. [/font][/size][/font] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The only thing is......... we haven't played locally and are not yet well know so I'm not sure where the audience will come from. [/font] [font=HelveticaNeue,][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]If your able to come along that would be great, if your able to drag a few others thats even better. If not maybe you could like our Facebook page and share the info. You can find more info about the band on The Angry Badgers" Facebook page[/font][/size][/font] [font=HelveticaNeue,][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Links? SoundCloud link in my sig and FB link below...my ears tell me we're worth seeing live [/font][/size][/font] [font=HelveticaNeue,][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#222222][url="https://www.facebook.com/events/1467874850153434/"]https://www.facebook...67874850153434/[/url][/color][/font][/size][/font] [font=HelveticaNeue,][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Cheers[/font][/size][/font] [font=HelveticaNeue,][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Ed[/font][/size][/font]

Not for me, just another guitar solo. I like this version though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsbgx7QHBMY

Thanks for the replies. I bought it at the start of this year but only started using it for longer periods recently. Unfortunately I don't have proof of purchase anymore. I'll try the washing thing, its worth a shot. It is unbranded but it seems to be real suede with some padded sticking inside, which is why I like it. Note: A red shirt? luckily I was wearing one but it had white lines in it. The dye did wash out of that so there is hope Cheers

So what do you think, throw it away? It seems a shame

hmm I'm leaning towards a noise gate too. Anyone have one of those Mooer Noise Killers?

Hi, I was thinking of trying one of these noise reducers in a loop with a couple of nosy pedals I have in my chain. Are they any good?

I have a nice suede guitar strap that I have had fitted to my bass for sometime and this weekend we played a mammoth practice session. After we had finished I was alarmed to find that the red dye had come out of it and stained my shirt. Is there any way to "fix it" as I like the strap?

Thanks, Dark and growly sounds good to me!

Hi, another strings question I'm hoping that you can save me a bit of time and money here by recommending me some strings for my Ray 35. I have ended up with either flats or half rounds on my other basses and like quite an aggressive sound set up...by that I mean with some punch! Any suggestions?

Just bought a pedal and the seller went out of his way to ensure that I was happy with it. Very good to deal with. Thanks

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1410016150' post='2545438'] Might pop over from Bristol for this. If I do, I'll post any details about whether I can give someone a lift. I'll know closer to the time though. [/quote] Me too if I can get a lift from Paul. I'll bring err stuff of some sort. A couple of basses probably

Thanks, much appreciated. I did another search myself and came up with the is: http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/stingray-5-string-bass-150-c.asp Note: Not sure what I did differently as when I tried before I found nothing Sorted!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1409603309' post='2541483'] why are you ruling out 35" scales? Lakland do some very nice basses, a 55-02 skyline used would do every gig ever asked of you and it for the foreseeable future [/quote] I came to playing bass from playing electric guitar and was obsessed with obtaining howling sustain. Because of that I started off looking for thru neck 35" 5's. I traded up through a few including a TRB1005, Czeck Dean Edge, Spectors and even a 37" scale LB Carvin. I also got myself BEAD Spector Legend 4 stringer, with a stonking B string and really liked it. Then it dawned on me that "ultimate sustain" wasn't as important for bass and what I really wanted was something that wasn't too heavy and that had plenty of thump and power. Now I just want to keep continuity with my other basses. All one long learning process for me. I'm not saying I'll never go back to a 35". There is a good custom Peavy Cirrus on here at the moment that almost turned my head but not just now. I'm still learning and love trying new things.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1409594557' post='2541314'] If you are going up to a grand go for an ebmm ray5 instead of a sterling ray, nowt wrong with the 35 but your budget is quite wide ranging from your description. [/quote] Judging from your sig you like your Ray5's. I know where to come if I want advice. My budget? Yes I had my sights set quite low but sold some stuff that mean't I can look a little higher but not at the top end of that. Just getting things in my sights. Someone just pointed out G&L's. I like those too. Cheers

Was he drumming with his bollocks? A man of steel...respect!

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1409572400' post='2540950'] Agree totally, I did think I should have quantified that better. I wouldn't look at the 5 headstock, but would concentrate on the 4+1 headstock config. The newer models with blocks and active EQ are the ones and I think that dates them from around 2010..?? This, IMV, is because Fender were getting a caning sales-wise by the likes of Lakland and the American Deluxe is a decent response to that. Beyond this standard and price, I feel you are looking at Overwaters and then Sei, Celinder etc. [/quote] Thanks for the explanation, very useful
