The Bristol gig was fabulous. Peter is such a likeable bloke. The band was incredble and this must have been the best value for money gig I have ever seen; it was around £24 for nearly 3 hours of first class performance by a true great. I wish I could smile as much as Stanley Sheldon does when playing my bass...

I use an EBS MultiComp. Great compressor, very versatile and has a nice tube mode too; it's well within your budget especially if you pick one up second hand.

That we "murder" this song and that. Also I feel like i am being watched and my performance monitored. After every gig there is an email that goes out. 99% of it is negative.[/quote] That's enough for me to say, quit. Looks like there are bullying issues from people who projecting issues from other parts of their lives onto members of the band. Get out and save yourself the hassle. If you're the type maybe you'll get some payback by punching someone's lights out too or nitromors their car or burn their shed down or make them kiss the gunner's daughter or walk the plank

Glad to hear he's on form. I'm going to see him in Bristol on Sunday.

Are the pickups the same in the 415 as the 615? They might be different to account for the preamp. Yamaha usually have excellent customer support and reply very quickly. The 415 pickups are thunderously hot. I'd sell the 615 and buy a used 415, chuck a Gotoh-alike bridge on it for £20 and some Hipshot string trees - these mods make the B string much better and you get an unbelievably good bass for relatively little money. I can't bring myself to part with my 415, it's really great especially now it's got TI flats on it.

Hi, I'm struggling to hear some of this muddiness and need to get it nailed. Could someone please help if they have a copy? Many thanks Sean

Which software are you using to do the notation? Just out of interest.

Bought a bass from Tom recently - top bloke! Great communications and a good experience all round. I always seem to have to rush off somewhere when I could have easily spent ages talking.

Is there a link so we can have a look?

I just bought a pedal from Simon - nice easy transaction and very quick service from a great basschatter.

If you do buy one, you'd be nuts not to get [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=98388&hl=bb424"]this one[/url] that Rich is selling (if it's still around, that is).

[quote name='silddx' post='1118926' date='Feb 7 2011, 02:30 PM']You're not serious!? A BCer sent a bass to you in nothing but a bin liner!? That's f***ing insane. Did you say anything?[/quote] I had an Ibanez ATK shipped to me in a bin liner with a few bits of sellotape on it that got ripped in transit ages ago - I wrote a review of the bass on here and mentioned the packaging. Even the courier guy couldn't believe it was still intact and undamaged.
