  1. Awesome drummer. Massively spoiled by everything else!
  2. [quote name='radansey' post='721272' date='Jan 22 2010, 03:03 PM']'spose it was my fault for polishing the frets on the ironing-board.[/quote] School boy error!
  3. You mean like this? I think it looks rather fetching! I think it looks NAFF when players have their bass high enough so you would be able to see their belly button underneath it (if they didn't have a top on)
  4. "Just you see here boy, if you want to be a guitar pioneering god like me, you need to have lop-sided man boobs just like mine!"
  5. That white t-40 is gooooooooorgeous. Who am i kidding? they're ALL gorgeous.
  6. [quote name='chris_b' post='719983' date='Jan 21 2010, 11:56 AM']The Mini Mark is an 8 ohm combo so you can add an 8 ohm cab. You will blow the fuses if you add 4 ohm cab as you will be presenting your amp with 2.6 ohms![/quote] I have a brilliant image in my mind of someone showing (presenting) this amp a 4 ohm cab, the amp looking at the cab, going "AAAAH!" and then the fuses blowing, preferably with a puff of smoke.
  7. I have one of these in my bass case: It's great for my Washburn, but useless for my Thunderbird. But my Washburn is the main gigger at the moment Surprisingly stable, but probably quite easily knocked over. I always keep my basses WELL out of harms way (behind my amp usually!) so the general drunken public can't get near the thing.
  8. B-B-B-BUMP! :ph34r:
  9. [quote name='arsenic' post='719850' date='Jan 21 2010, 09:43 AM']Perhaps you should consult your GP and get a prescription for a bass 'substitute'[/quote] What would that involve? How else would you get that cool, mellow, warm, satisfying rumble-y feeling in your belly?
  10. The bass is after all a member of the rhythm section, so we should really be expected to be a tempo setter along with the drummer, so if the drummer starts to waiver, we should hold our ground! Right? Bassists of the world unite, our fight against speeding up or slowing down during songs has only just begun!
  11. [quote name='johnbass57' post='717473' date='Jan 19 2010, 08:31 AM']Who was this bass_ferret chap and why was he banned?[/quote] Now that's a whole different kettle of fish!
  12. Drop your panties Sir William, I cannot wait till lunchtime. ...I am no longer infected.
  13. BUMP for price drop. 85 quid. come on, what more could you want?
  14. Sold a Marshall Head and 410 to Craig. Great pleasure dealing with the guy. No hassles, good communication all the way. Top bloke.
  15. [quote name='stingrayfan' post='713970' date='Jan 15 2010, 04:26 PM']Check out a LH500. Mine sounds great.[/quote] I've heard they're very bright (i'm not a fan of brightness) and what can i cab it with?
  16. Yep, it's another one of these threads. Sorry folks. I've just flogged 2/3rds of my Marshall Rig, because it's too big to load into my car all the time (it fits, but it's such a hassle!) so now all i have amp wise to gig with (if i get a gig any time soon) is a 100W combo i might be able to borrow off my brother! Anyway, I can't make a decision on an amp solution, I like a smooth deep rock tone (think Epiphone Thunderbird) warm, but not distorted, with plenty of volume to hold it's own in a large pub with a fairly loud band (4x12 guitar amp) if necessary. So far i've been thinking: [list=a] [*] A second hand combo off of here, I've had my eye on a 150W 410 Trace combo and a 150W Ampeg combo, but I'm worried about collecting them, disliking them and then finding that I can't sell them and lose money! [*] A brand new combo: I like the look of the 300 watt Ampeg BA300 210 combos, but they don't seem loud enough from stuff I've read on here. Would be open to other suggestions but I don't like Ashdowns. [*] An Orange Bass Terror (I like the look of these a lot, but haven't played through one yet) and a small cab (210, 212? possibly a Shroeder!) second hand on here. [/list] I have about £350 to spend on something second hand (£400/450 if I can flog my Marshall 115), and would take advantage of the Take It Away scheme to get something up to about £500 new, and could combine the two for option c. So, this is an unabashed shameful plea for help. My head's in a mess, and i could do with being put in my place.
  17. BUMP! 115 is still here!
  18. Or maybe you're talking about them buzzing, you might need to get the action raised, or the truss rod (very) marginally tightened to suit your playing style. Good music shops should be able to do this for you for a couple of quid.
  19. [quote name='absentmindeduk' post='712393' date='Jan 14 2010, 11:34 AM']Theres some on ebay at the mo for £17 with postage; [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180455670002&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url][/quote] That looks way too weak to lift 70KG
  20. From my experience, they're great if you don't mind them feeling a bit slimey, and if you play with a pick it will flake off everywhere. Have a look here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=58538"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=58538[/url]
  21. According to my rough measurements it should fit in my Vauxhall Astra! Hmm...
  22. [quote name='bigjohn' post='708890' date='Jan 11 2010, 02:40 PM']price drop bump[/quote] Will get my tape measure out and see if fits in the boot of my car.
  23. It's even got dual outputs! amazing. I need more money in the GAS fund.
