the cheek... have a go on a $$, then call fraud!

I do, but "my" sound varies daily I dont think i've kept an EQ setting for longer than a week

thought it said preston for a minute! it was not to be [size=1] not that i want it [/size]

I've never really been worried if a drummer speeds up or not, I just pay as much attention to what he's doing as possible and move with him. Either that or give him some headphones and a click track

damnit wayne! I thought you were omniscient?

but then the pup is the wrong way round! Plus when I've got my current crop of basses it seems a waste not to use them!

Not to get too deep into it, thats the sound i like to use the most and can get it with either my squier P or my Yam 375 through behringer head. (The point is that they're both cheap basses through a cheap head) I'm not the most audiophilic on BC, but when someone says "the P sound" then *that's* the sound that I imagine. nothing special, just a good solid tone. /edit My yam is a 2 humbucker jobbie. Pan knob turned to about 70% neck, 30% bridge. flat EQ on the bass, high-mids dropped a tad on the amp [/quote] hmm interesting, may give it a crack. Only reason I said I couldnt use the yammie is that its the wrong way round for me

If only just to put him in his place ******* They complain no matter what you do. I normally use a Hartke HA3500 (350W), and they moan I am too loud. I used my old valve Fender Bassman 100 at rehearsal a few days ago, and apparently, I was too loud....... I am up against a Marshall 60W and an Orange 120.[/quote] sigh. Just can't please some people, especially guitarists!

[quote name='ARGH' post='443143' date='Mar 23 2009, 09:31 PM']No but build quality and tone can be..... Cheap basses are great in the bedroom,get them cranked and they sound horrid....and they break,bad pots,bad jacks,bad fretwork,bad necks...bad nut,bad bad bad BAD!! Things have got better in recent years with far eastern made instruments![/quote] true true, I just like disagreeing with you, you bring out the most colourful arguments!

a right handed one, yep. Plus an ibby p/j. Not gonna get it outta those, thats for sure Strings are dead too, its like playing strips of sponge.

agreed, I wouldn't be able to write so much on one set of strings Thanks man

hmm, was wondering how to get that out of humbuckers (not gonna get it in the ray, but maybe the $$) neck pup single coil tap?

oh god I know, think they were acting out the story in the song or something. Its pretty ridiculous to be perfectly honest!

i dont understand how this thread started *edit* Wait, got it, ignore me

no, museum visting [size=1]cricket is awesome[/size]

and better quality control and handmade instead of the more mass produced techniques they use now i believe (could be wrong but thats my understanding) and dont have a go at warwick neck, my $$ has one of the slimmest and fasted necks I've ever had the pleasure of laying my hands on
