[quote name='steve-soar' post='449061' date='Mar 29 2009, 10:46 PM']Big smiles, lots of joy, playing music is the best. [/quote] This is really what does it for me when watching her play. Far too many of the, technically amazing, bass playing fraternity pulling serious faces whilst playing. She just always looks like she's having the greatest time on stage Not sure I could really listen to much of her stuff on cd though

Is it one of these? If so then I really like these I don't think they've been desperately popular because they don't have the 'typical' parametric eq of the SM400/500/900 and the internal speaker is already running at 4 ohms. SWR say it'll happily run down 2 ohms but a lot of people are wary of running anything below 4 ohms. Personally I would think it's gonna cover most gigs as a standalone unit so that shouldn't be a problem anyway

Only bass I've ever owned that had people come up to me and say how nice it looked was my Roscoe SKB in a rather fetching shade of flamed maple dark greenburst. I actually had three different women ask me about it at the only gig I used it at! As the pic shows - they obviously weren't interested in me, just the bass, lol Shame I traded it when I decided to go all out to 5 strings

I'm sitting here in a vaguely mellow Sunday night mood & listening to Laura Nyro's last album - Angel in the Dark - which has some great songs, both original & classic covers. Bass duties are mostly covered by Freddy Washington & Will Lee & I've been really impressed by Will Lee's near perfect studio tone that just fits some of Nyro's songs so well. There's a couple of intros where the bass is really high in the mix &, to my ears, the recording of the bass is near perfect, plenty of depth but with crisp highs & some nice finger noise so you know it's all live & not nastily processed. I've seen him featured in Bass Player & stuff but never really listened to him before. I'll have to dig some more of his stuff out Quite liking the look of his new signature Sadowsky as well:

I hadn't seen this clip before - really like it Bit of a condescending git of presenter though. Very happy with that wrist angle - that's not far off what my wrist looks like & I always think it looks a bit odd!

This is now residing in a new home -
What a funky looking amp If used for lead guitar will it generate heavy distortion if required? What are dimensions & weight (approx)? -
Feels to me like there's something of a polarisation of standards amongst younger musicians. The good ones are phenomenal technically, the stuff I hear being played by some everyday '20 somethings' is nothing short of amazing compared to what I remember from about 30 or so years ago. Meanwhile the ability of a decent engineer & a Pro Tools expert means that a lot of stuff can be 'fixed in the mix' and there are some musicians recording stuff that's not well played, or even remotely in time, but that can be made to sound great after some serious processing. Of course both of these examples have been around for a long time but it seems to me like the extremes are more pronounced now than they've ever been.

If it was a 5 I'd be bidding on it already

My current drummer is a machine He reads every single song we play & has a click running in the background through his in-ear monitors. He's a jazzer at heart & still manages to throw in little odd time signature fills every now & then & copes with temp changes seamlessly. The whole band relies on him for stops / starts / endings etc. He cocks up now & then but it's so rare that the rest of the band usually think they've made the mistake if an ending isn't quite perfect

I used to run a single bi-ampable twin channel head with lows into a 1x15 & highs into my 2x10. To be honest I never really liked the sound up close. The 15 always seemed to be too muddy & the 10's lacked enough punch. I had a variable frequency control on the amp & the only way I ever got it quite how I wanted it was to run most of the frequency range through the 10's & leave the 15 as more of a sub cab. In the end I just the whole set up in stereo &, to my ears on stage, it sounded much nicer.

[quote name='greghagger' post='446000' date='Mar 26 2009, 02:05 PM']Hi just put the bass on the scales & it came out at 11lbs- don't know how accurate that is though? To be honest it isn't the lightest of basses but haven't had a problem gigging it myself.... I also looked at the US models when i got this bass & the price put me off as i couldn't justify spending double the amount!!![/quote] Mine is just under 10lbs I think, they are pretty heavy but I guess that's where some of that big old tone comes from Sorry - forgot to ask. Does the neck have a gloss finish - that's different from the US models? Don't suppose you need an Epifani UL310 by any chance, lol. . . -
Damn - I've been debating whether to go for a Euro or a US as a back up for my current US. Had pretty much decided on a Euro & this would have been perfect but I've just found a US up for sale as well so need to re-evaluate my choices! Of course the US is more than twice the price Do you know how much it weighs (bit of a traditional Spector problem for me is that they are often pretty heavy).

This really is a very funky little bass, the case is just tiny too. So easy to cart around -
[quote name='mr_russ' post='445094' date='Mar 25 2009, 04:00 PM']What about a px for a markbass 102hf? it fits in my astra's boot and is more than good enough to gig standalone[/quote] I've got a pair of Berg 1x12's which will work for me really. Bought the Epi on a bit of a whim but I would definitely have kept it if it fitted in the car, lol.

[quote name='jonsmith' post='439231' date='Mar 19 2009, 01:45 PM']I have a set of Ultimate Ears ones - the Superfi Pro 5. I resisted the temptation to get the enhanced bass response ones and went for the flatter respose version (which is actually more expensive). I am very impressed with these, although if you have anything on your iPod that has been encoded at a lower quality, you will really notice it. Like most in-ears, if they are not seated correctly in the ear they don't sound very good. You will notice some noise if the cable rubs on your clothing. They are fantastic for the Tube. With all the outside noise blocked off I don't even have to have them up loud at all. My volume never even gets up to half way. They are quite expensive though.[/quote] I also use Ultimate Ears phones & I love them. i only really use them for iPod use but my drummer uses the same ones for live in-ear monitoring work. The design has changed slightly now but I think mine were the Super Fi Pro twin driver ones. Cost me about £110 I think but you ahve to really shop around on price, I've seen them over £150.

[quote name='fingerz' post='444969' date='Mar 25 2009, 01:48 PM']You'll have to sell this car surely?! We should get a car classifieds section on here! My 310 fits in my Octavia with room to spare! Wise man or just Poor man ... Shame, they are awesome cabs. Also awesome cars them BMW's. Doh.[/quote] It's my fault really as I helped choose the car it is really nice though, we've had a 2 litre diesel for a few years but gone back to a nice 3 litre petrol engine & I much prefer it

[quote name='obbm' post='444689' date='Mar 25 2009, 08:40 AM']Oh no. The cab!!![/quote] It's the depth that makes the difference, probably needs to be 15" deep to fit comfortably

[quote name='Marcus' post='444640' date='Mar 25 2009, 07:32 AM']Ah.... the dreaded "4x10 size box won't fit in the boot of a 3 series scenario" If I didn't have the same issue i'd quite fancy this.....[/quote] Because it's a fair bit smaller than a regular 4x10 you won't believe how close this is to actually fitting in Not sure if the aperture in a saloon is bigger than a coupe but I guess there's probably not much in it!

Really great cab & pretty much exactly what I was looking for when I bought it quite recently. Unfortunately some dodgy measuring has resulted in a cab that's fractionally bigger than the boot opening of the new car that turned up today. I can get it on the front seat but as it's the wife's car I'm not sure she's going to take too kindly to me ramming a bass cab in & it certainly won't fit on the back of my bike So here we go - excellent cab in immaculate condition, circa 7-8 months old In the words of Epifani themselves: [i]the UL-310 combines the size and weight of a 210 with the power of a 410. Easily carried in one hand, the UL-310 is a favorite among musicians who enjoy making 1 trip from their car into the gig. * Speaker: 3 x 250w RMS Cast Aluminum Frame * 100w RMS Tweeter * Freq Response: 40hz - 16khz * Power Rating: 750w RMS (1800w Peak) * 5.3 Ohms * Suggested Wattage: 200w - 1000w * Sensitivity: 103db SPL @ 1w 1m * Recessed Handles * Dimensions: 23" H x 21.5" W x 16.5 " D * 47 lbs. [/i] It genuinely is the perfect size for a lot of situations and the 3x10s belt quite a punch without weighing a ton or being too huge to lug around (unless your wife has a new coupe!). Probably too big to send by courier but I could probably arrange something if required. I sent a slightly larger Ampeg recently for about £30 so that's a decent guide price for shipping.

I used to have a Triad - great cab -

[quote name='thepurpleblob' post='440984' date='Mar 21 2009, 11:29 AM']I couldn't see her behind that TRB6 This is gospel is it not? I don't think you can call gospel singers hot!! All the same, you make a persuasive argument [/quote] I found a pic without a TRB in it Possibly sexist but not exploitative, in the words of the mighty David St Hubbins - "it's such a fine line between stupid & clever"
