[quote name='cheddatom' post='240013' date='Jul 15 2008, 01:47 PM']I like this "We dont need / want to much 'over-production' we are after the live / raw feel of our music." I wish more metal bands sounded live and raw, it gives rock bands' CDs so much more energy.[/quote] Indeedley-doodley young Mr Chedda. For a good exaple of over-production ruining a perfectly good track, listen to 'Wrecking Ball' at [url="http://www.myspace.com/evolvecore"]www.myspace.com/evolvecore[/url] When I say perfectly good, I may of course be bending the truth somewhat, though the song is probably alright, it may well be the talentless w***ers playing that ruined it.

What Fudge said.

Mine was a real one though, be worth a fortune if I still had it.'

[quote name='Bassmurf' post='238908' date='Jul 14 2008, 08:34 AM']Well, the sound I've been using with them is just my normal setup with possibly a bias towards the low mids and rolled off a little bit on the bridge pickup. Songs in the set include: Caroline Roll Over Lay Down Something 'bout You Baby I Like Big Fat Mama Rain 4500 Times Don't Waste My Time In My Chair Backwater Rockin' All Over The World Bye Bye Johnny Roadhouse Blues Down Down Whatever You Want ....etc![/quote] Proper 'Quo - I best ask the missus if I can go out and play

[quote name='Doctor J' post='239055' date='Jul 14 2008, 12:03 PM']...though bass is what I started on and will always be my main instrument.[/quote] And I'm jolly glad to hear it. You'll find other such multi-talented, instrument hopping heretics on here too. Welcome.

'Ding dong the witch is dead' is probably not good.

The fact we have almost identical gear bar the Boss, has really got me thinking about this. Do you use it much for Lancasters sound? And what tunes do they play before I embarrass myself by saying I might be able to play them?

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='238438' date='Jul 13 2008, 11:57 AM']...then I dislocated my knee last week and I'm hobbling around on crutches. [/quote] Ah ha, knees. The Chichester, Chichester, Easter 2006 - Half way through Kerosene by Big Black (4th song in), my knee gave out, I fell over, managed to get back up & signal to a bird in the audience to get me a chair, sat down, finished the song, passed out, then woke up with my mate Matt just about to start CPR - I'd had such a bad whitey from the shock, he couldn't feel a pulse (he was an A&E nurse too). Apparently my first words were 'f*** off Matt'! I got up, and finished the set, went back to me mates house where I'd been planing to stay anyway, then had to call a heavily pregnant Mrs Lager the next morning to pick me up. This wasn't simple, of course - she had to get a train on Easter Sunday (engineering works, so buses) 70 miles to the middle of nowhere, then drive me back home via the hospital - dislocated knee & ruptured medial collateral ligament. Cue 3 months off work, dangerous amounts of codeine and an entire World Cup to watch from the sofa. The previous time we had played there, the guitarists sister spent the night in A&E with a large gash to her head after falling onto the corner of a table whilst moshing to our set while pissed. Won't be playing there again. I love this thread.

Fortunately I can't get eBay or Paypal at work, preventing me getting in to a right old ding-ding with the missus about a new bass.

Welcome, always nice to get more Ashdowns and Jazzes in the forum. Rock is never 'run-of-the-mill' son. And the Bentley...?

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='235662' date='Jul 9 2008, 12:57 PM']Finn over on Finnbass has collated all of the best internet guides so I put a link in the wiki. It was removed by the mods.[/quote] Ah.

[quote name='mybass' post='235640' date='Jul 9 2008, 12:29 PM']It would be good if the UK mag did a bumper edition for new gear from the trade fairs.[/quote] And indeed, if it came out monthly, though I am led to believe this is an advertising revenue issue.

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' post='235610' date='Jul 9 2008, 11:50 AM']Just got an EBS Multi Comp and would strongly recommend it - excellent compressor.[/quote] Me too, but we would say that - we've bought them. Top bit of kit the EBS, had it for a while and it does indeed make my sound [s]less sh*t[/s] much tighter, just like compresors should!

Try [url="http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=changing+bass+strings&meta="]here[/url]? I'd say try the wiki, but it says to do this.

[quote name='spinynorman' post='234928' date='Jul 8 2008, 01:16 PM']I've got a MIM 5-string Jazz that the Fender site says should be MN9+5, but the SN on the bass is MN9+6 (though the last digit is 0). I've seen quite a few MIMs for sale that are the same.[/quote] CIJ also have a problem marrying the number of S/N digits to what Fender says it should have. Maybe they don't count the last 0? Maybe Fender don't know what's going on?

Nice - like the blue light thing and anything with a 'growl' control is a winner in my book. [url="http://www.musikundtechnik.de/TecAmp_137.html?menuks=137&proid=16391"]1900 euros[/url] though, what's that 1500 quid? f*** it - it's only money
