Here, Strings Direct or cheapest online I can find. Last shop I bought from was Bonners in Eastbourne, even despite the 'not quite as helpful as he could have been' Ronnie Wood lookylikey. A visit to Bernie at GB is great, but put a few hours aside for it and only take as much cash as you need

Kids In Glass Houses? EDIT: I wish they were in Japan. Permanently.

Very nice, good shout.

Anyone tried one of [url="http://www.alesis.com/guitarlink"]these[/url] yet? Any good? Cheers, John.

Loud, deep & growly. Got it too.

It is to put my fafner in so I can wheel it to and from the tube station. Where is the best (and cheapest) place to buy something like this?[/quote] The internet.

I must formally thank the boyo Si for putting me onto this bunch last year, priceless.

[quote name='Cabal' post='417601' date='Feb 23 2009, 05:04 PM']I've always loved Primus/Claypool, but this album just takes the biscuit. Anyone into it? Cheers, Jake M[/quote] Yes, very much so. I've loved Les & Primus since we managed to clear the front room at a party by having Seas of Cheese & Frizzle Fry on at the pain threshold with about 4 of us musos utterly caned and crying wth laughter. Whales is the natural progression, in my opinion.

[quote name='Hamster' post='416609' date='Feb 22 2009, 01:35 PM']"I buy new strings rather than cleaning and re-using" - because nowadays, I can afford it.[/quote] +1. Just.

As it says on the tin - 17" Tiny CRT monitor, maybe 8 years old, 15-pin D-type lead. Trade for 4 cans of cooking / driving lager. Collect Newhaven or meet Brighton or it's environs.

[quote name='PauBass' post='409234' date='Feb 14 2009, 07:53 AM']If it was me I'd recommend the Sansamp Para Driver over the BDDI, very similar units but the Para Driver has the mid controls, mids and mid frequency, which makes a whole difference. The BDDI soops a lot the mids and makes your bass dissapear on a band setting whilst, with the Para Driver and the mids control, you can avoid that scoop and bring the bass more upfront. I have also owned the MXR and I found the clean channel very useful but I didn't like the distortion because of the preset Eq curved. No experience with DHA but between the other two units I'd go with the Sansamp Para Driver.[/quote] Glad you like it!

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='414426' date='Feb 19 2009, 03:57 PM']Can't you get some bling diamonds and other assorted rocks in there also?[/quote] It'll be cubic zirconia to keep the price down. Chuck some pics of the blue one up to make me jealous will ya? LED's on too?

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='412883' date='Feb 18 2009, 11:47 AM']Mr Lager - never mind the reading - when you getting one!? He he![/quote] Ooh you tease. When I've moved house and not before! A blue one, with blue LED's. And gold hardware. Might even get the Pompey crest on it too, though it will be fun talking Bernie into it. Pimp as f***.

[quote name='Merton' post='413606' date='Feb 18 2009, 08:45 PM']But in a band situation I can imagine the big One being the daddy [/quote] Alex postulated the idea of 2 running together the other night - I've only just finished cleaning myself up. EDIT: In a good way and a bad way!

[quote name='Snyper' post='412769' date='Feb 18 2009, 09:57 AM']My names Jon and i've been playing bass going on 4 years, nothing compared to how long most of you seem to have been playing for! Currently using an Ibanez GSR205 and recently got myself a Fender BXR-100 amp. Hope to learn alot whilst im here [/quote] Good man, welcome.

Love 'em, me. It'll be the 'Ray that's doing it though - pre-EB 'Ray's rock. I've had Hybrids on a few basses now - Jazz, another Jazz, Spector, 'Ray, brief flirtation with VMP, etc. Wish I'd found them years ago. If you didn't get on with the others though, they're just a different gauge. The Stainless Slinkys are good too if that's your bag.

Anyone remember the Venoms Legions answerphone message on the cassette of the Nightmare single? Class.

I currently shove it all in the front, but I might try the compressor in the loop, as I would then be compressing the whole preamped & eq'd signal. [The LH loop is post eq / pre volume].

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='412622' date='Feb 18 2009, 12:18 AM']I also have a custom build 15" driver with an aluminum cone (that Johnnylager's using at the moment) and I like the tone of that too..[/quote] So do I - when you need it back Nik, just give us a bell - can deliver! [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='412622' date='Feb 18 2009, 12:18 AM']And I think Alex Claber's first cab designs are based around 15" drivers as well IIRC?[/quote] Yep - and I can thoroughly recommend the [url="http://barefacedbass.com/thebigone.html"]BarefacedBass Big One[/url]. For the first time since I got shot of me Sunn 2x15 in the 80's, I was able to hear myself properly wherever I was on the stage, so was the drummist.
