I'll be A/Bing a Compact and a Peavey 4x10 on Sunday. I'll let you know what happens.

Some interesting answers here [b]What [/b]made you the bassist you are today? - [b]Playing in bands since I was 14 or so [25 years][/b] [b]Who [/b]do you think had the biggest influences on how you play now? - [b][s]Steve Harris[/s] [s]Larry Boothroyd[/s] Rob Wright[/b] [b]Where [/b]do you think you want to go from here? - [b]Bigger gigs[/b] [b]Why [/b]do you think you want to go there? - [b]Because I haven't done many big-uns[/b] [b]Do you believe[/b] you have a "personality" on the bass? - [b]Yes - other peoples copied badly and combined in a right din[/b] [b]Specialist question:[/b] [i][b]What [/b]is it you love about that 1971 P-Bass?[/i] - [b]The fact all my heroes - Geezer, 'Arry, Dobby, John McCoy, Bob Daisley, Jimmy Bain, Peter Baltes, Marcus Grosskopf, Rob Wright, Rob McKillop, Matt Freeman, Trevor Horn all had them. And Brian Fox. Probably. Never owned one meself though - must try harder.[/b]

The Korg Pitchblack has a few fans on here, accurate to +/- 1 cent, the TU-2 has a few too, +/- 3cents. I don't know about the Big Dot though.

The Body Glove jobbie is excellent - [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product.asp?id=9790"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product.asp?id=9790[/url] Talked about here - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40785&hl=soundslive"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;hl=soundslive[/url]

[quote name='umph' post='459284' date='Apr 10 2009, 01:54 PM']you might want to look into hatke or something else along those lines aswell[/quote] Indeed. I can thoroughly recommend the LH series. Less [knobs] is more. If there is something you really want to try at GAK, it wouldn't do any harm to ring them the day before you go to make sure it is in the store and not just in the warehouse. They can normally get it there for the next day.

The bass sound on that first track is ace. +1 for a used Ampeg if that's your bag - you'd get far more for your money.

Excellent mate. More bass in 'Ready To Rock' please! Are you putting WPOD up?

I've just been experimenting with pedal order. I was going TU-2 > BassBalls > Hyperdrive > MultiComp > MicroBass II. I've now taken the TU-2 out of the chain and run it off the link on the MicroBass and it's really opened up the sound of the BassBalls and the Hyperdrive. Just saying, like.

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='456600' date='Apr 7 2009, 05:26 PM']I just love the symmetry and balance of a 4.[/quote] Listen to you Mr La-de-daa. Who has hijacked his profile?

4 all the way for me. None of me heroes have 'em, none of me favourite bands have 'em and as Silverfoxnik will tell you - I don't have the ability for them. Nik - just 'teaching' my neighbours how to play Levitation by Hawkwind through your 1x15. It is an 1100w driver isn't it?

I got a branners Geddy Lee off a UK gadgey on the 'bay - well off the bay actually - and after minimal setting up it was fine.

I thought they were about £600 new in the UK. Plenty of Shermans to import from, but the rate is sh*te. £350 new seems good.

Eee-ooo - think of your finish man!

That's the 4th thing I want to do on the 4th of bloody April now. The babysitters 18th is looking like the best though. :brow: Good luck.

[quote name='4000' post='449758' date='Mar 30 2009, 06:40 PM']Pretty much all the SBs that I've played (quite a few, I was around when they first came out) have been [i]extremely[/i] heavy.[/quote] Yup - I had an SB Elite I for 20-odd years. I had a couple of years off the bass a few years back and sold it when I took it up again as eventually the weight & lack of forearm contour did for me. I should have just put it on the wall though.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='451121' date='Apr 1 2009, 06:17 AM']And to think that BGM slagged off the gb g spot in my basses. Twice.[/quote] Gimmick.

You forgot Big One x2. Muhahahaha. :brow: I've gone deaf just thinking about it. Or is that blind? Or is that for another reason?

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='450561' date='Mar 31 2009, 01:56 PM']Don't listen to them, cream pick up covers are the devils work, next they will be telling you to get a tort scratch plate.[/quote] Don't listen to him, he plays a Jazz. Cream on. Nice bass.

[quote name='tauzero' post='450533' date='Mar 31 2009, 01:25 PM']I've actually had quite a few people say how lovely my Warwicks are. Sadly, they've all been male.[/quote] Nuff said.

One of them core stability exercise balls and a Spector.

[quote name='thedonutman' post='448993' date='Mar 29 2009, 08:35 PM']I've been [i]trying[/i] to adjust mine like that for a while now but the bridge on my Spector must hate me or something, because it's horrible to adjust. Once it's locked it stays put and works perfectly but I don't like the fact that all the saddles can move when you are adjusting one of them..... by the way, did you do it to the angle at which the headstock is angled back from the neck or the angle of the strings over the nut?[/quote] Headstock. It's all in [url="http://www.spectorbass.com/pdfs/OwnersManualSpector2005.pdf"]here[/url] chaps. It took a little getting used to, but I love it now - more than a standard bridge.
