I believe random access media have seriously impacted the quality of tunes coming out. In the good old days of vinyl and even cassette, one tended to listen all the way to the end of a side or album and it had to stand on the merits of the weakest track. Now one merely skips the duffers or doesn't even load 'em onto the mp3 player. Possibly - discuss. EDIT: I am sure I'm as guilty as anyone else of doing it though.

I 'fixed' me mates Wal by changing the battery last year. He still buys me lager as thanks.

Nordstrand.

Latest incarnation. Not using the MicroBass II much live - Spector > MultiComp > LH sounds just chipper to me - but it's nice to look at and cost more than the rest of the bloody things put together, so there it stays. TU-2 > BassBalls > Hyperdrive > MultiComp > MicroBass II [attachment=22864:DSC01662.JPG] [attachment=22865:DSC01663.JPG] The Hyperdrive & TU-2 will have to go though - they're not black & blue.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='446381' date='Mar 26 2009, 07:53 PM']Thats a really good resource to check out. When you've checked it out, get the EBS one. It really is the business. [/quote] What he said.

[quote name='BigRedX' post='443870' date='Mar 24 2009, 03:13 PM']The important questions (all of equal importance) are: 1. Does it suit my playing style? 2. Does it sound right? 3. Does it look right? 4. Can I afford it? I only keep instruments that I can answer yes to all 4. What's written on the headstock is completely irrelevant.[/quote] No, no, no. 1. Does it have a famous name on the headstock? 2. Does it have kudos in the bass playing community? 3. I agree on 3. 4. Can I get it in the house under the wife-dar?

Labels are great, especially [url="http://www.labels4kids.com/product.php/37/7/"]these[/url].

Congratulations Alex, that's post # 2000!

It's simple to me. Will redoing the guitar parts generate more work / money than not redoing them?

[quote name='clauster' post='437268' date='Mar 17 2009, 01:52 PM']IME most bass players who want a compressor actually want a limiter (which admittedly is just a specifically set compressor).[/quote] I just want some more lager. Have you got any left after your CS3 mod?

I had an ABM EVOII rig [2x10 500w combo + 2x10 cab] until recently. I only changed 'cos I wanted something lighter with far less knobs. That rotary / slider combination did me head in a bit, but I am from Portsmouth.

Everyone will be telling you that their rig is the best, so I'll start. Hartke LH-500 and a Barefacedbass Compact. Or an LH-1000 & a Barefaced Big One for silly volume.

The '79 2EQ I often have a use of is fine and sits better in the mix with me 3-piece Krautrock band than the KSD Jazz. I just whack everything up then back the treble off a bit - lovely. It's not a Spector though for which, funnily enough, I use the same tone settings on the bass
