[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1412531145' post='2569663'] Old Barefaced Midgets fit the bill. Might see some coming up used now the new range of barefaced is out. They are definitely mid focussed, though you can eq bass in if needed without farting out. [/quote] +1

TC Electronic is definately better than Markbass !!

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1412530059' post='2569645'] I'd be interested to know the size of the test group of amps from each manufacture the OP has tested before he came to the conclusion that he can definitively declare that MB are unreliable. If that sample is less than 10 from each manufacturer what he's saying is, in its self, unreliable. IMHO. of course [/quote] I believe the thread was started after the OP bought my TC Classic head! -
Turned out to be rather dull. I'd hoped for something funkier!

Surely a massive bargain here for someone - and the graphic sliders light up! -

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1412372622' post='2568446'] There are two tones mixed representing each number, I imagine it would be very difficult to vocalise. I don't know if it's still the case, but it used to be possible to dial out just by tapping on the mouthpiece of a phone receiver. Before touch-tone phones, rotary phones simply emitted a series of audible clicks as the dial reset. You could mimic this by tapping with your finger and reliably connect to whatever number you wanted without needing access to the dial or key pad. I imagine it would still work, otherwise rotary phones would no longer work. [/quote] Maybe it was that then. It was a long time ago!

They actually have tones associated with them anyway. I remember years ago seeing something on TV where a blind fella, with a great sense of pitch, could mimic the tones that would connect you to a distant telephone exchange FOC. Sorry, bit of an unintentional hijack there!

If you are unfamiliar with folk instruments, this is an Octave Mandola or Irish Bouzouki. It is tuned G-D-A-E (low to high) one octave lower than a regular mandolin. The G and D strings are doubled one octave higher, the A and E strings doubled in unison. The overall range is therefore close to that of a guitar. If a 12-string guitar and a mandolin were to indulge in a night of passion, this instrument might be the result! It is a FoolFish design, made by Hora in Romania. There is an onboard Artec 3-band pre-amp, with an end-pin jack output. It comes with a light duty gig bag, and I am also including a mandolin chord book. [size=3]It is still in excellent condition. [/size]I bought it a couple of years ago, intending to use it in my country band. However I never achieved much proficiency, as soon afterwards I underwent a major bass renaissance, thanks to this very forum! I am looking for [b]£145[/b] shipped within the UK, obviously a bit less if you collect.

Ignore what people say is or is not done. I have used fingernails to get a bright, graunchy sound. If it works for you, do it!

I'm not a hater, but I used to own a 35W kickback model, and I could never get rid of the 'thin-ness' in its sound. If your Hartke suits or suited you, I have no problem with that.

Paper weight.

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1411766999' post='2562722'] Refurbished. Apparently. [/quote] [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1411774075' post='2562809'] Typo. He meant "Defurbished". [/quote] Rubbished?

Refurbished. Apparently.

Another option would be a box-only synth and a controller keyboard with enough keys to meet your requirements. I'm a big believer in stating the obvious btw!
-
I previously used overdrive, phaser, and auto-wah, for particular songs that I thought they suited, and I think that's a good way to approach it: go through the songs you play (I'm assuming covers here), pick out the ones where there's an obvious effect on the bass, and look around for a pedal that will give you that sound. Apart from a tuner (which isn't an effect anyway), I no longer use pedals on bass. I just like the sound of a bass through an amp!

JapanAxe replied to Cosmo Valdemar's topic in General Discussion
When did anyone last manage to buy an event ticket at face value? I bought tickets last week for a show at a local theatre, f[i]rom their own box office[/i], and they [u]added a booking fee[/u]. Robbing b@st@rds. -
Nah, you'll soon get bored with that. Chuck it my way and I'll give you a couple of quid for it out of generosity

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1411689443' post='2562026'] Sounds like you've handled it very professionally and you are well-rid. [/quote] [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1411691751' post='2562036'] Sounds as if you've done the right thing and done it well. Good for you [/quote] [quote name='Les' timestamp='1411710564' post='2562063'] A lousy situation very well handled. You did what you had to do and it's sorted. [/quote] [quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1411714825' post='2562089'] Yeh you seem to have handled it well. A lot calmer than i could've managed. Good work. If i ever need to chuck someone from our band, do you take cheques? [/quote] [quote name='madshadows' timestamp='1411716918' post='2562105'] Sounds like you handled things correctly, good luck with new guy John [/quote] All of the above!

Efforts like this are never wasted - it's all grist to the musical mill.

Bugger, I've missed this!

Spoke to the guy tonight - turns out he made up the phrase to avoid putting people off with the word 'jazz'! He is sending me a link to some of his demos, so maybe then I will be somewhat the wiser...

Wowsers! GLWTS. -
We're well overdue for some more input from Blue on this. In the meantime, music is my consuming passion, but for various practical reasons I now mainly listen to music on my iPod in the car!
