[quote name='bassbloke' post='465880' date='Apr 18 2009, 06:15 AM']I don't know whether this is sacrilege, but from the videos I've seen of some of the slap greats (Larry Graham, Louis Johnson), the focus was on the percussive and bouncy quality of the lines not 100% efficient execution and that's what going to be more important for an effective slap line. I don't mean fr one minute to be sloppy, but a little bit of sympathetic ringing will probably get lost in a mix.[/quote] I'd tend to agree with this a lot.

If the MAG sound is what you’re used to, then IMO almost anything would beat it (I’m not a fan of the Ashdown MAG range). I love the Trace Elliot tone and I’m going back to it myself after a year or so playing around with other setups. People will say that the pre-Gibson (pre 1997/8?) Trace Elliots are the ones to go for, but I’ve heard great things about the newer ones (the Peavey era) but not actually used one myself. Some people say that Trace Elliot peaked around the release of the Series 6 heads (1992/3?). The V series valve heads are immense. Anyway, Trace stuff is amazing value for money at the moment - I've seen amps that retailed at £1000 15 years ago being sold for less than £250...

I've never really thought about how I mute so I've just spent about 15 mins working it out; I also do a lot of left hand muting whilst slapping, but I also palm mute with my right hand depending on the riff. I think this just comes naturally with time because this is something I've never considered/consciously thought about. EDIT: I could hear exactly what your muting problem was from the clip, but I don't know what to suggest apart from more practice and it should come with time.

[/quote] Not heard of these before and I can't find much info on it. How good is it, how much do they cost, and where might I be able to get one from?

[quote name='Rich' post='462957' date='Apr 15 2009, 01:16 PM']I love the guy's feedback history... Negative from buyer: "the shirt had a stain that was not mentioned in the description........NO GOOD!!" His reply: "the description said the shirt was worn once. how dare you leave me bad feedback" The indignance made me chuckle. He must be from a planet where 't-shirt is in great condition, only been worn once' translates as 'stained P.O.S.' [/quote] that's great

I'm not a big fan of the Warwick ones either - after 12 months use at college it was f***ed, and my Streamer Std was also in one when the skateboard incident of '03 happened...

Looks like someone’s been smoking crack…

Cheers for that – looks like the cheapest option from them is about £47 + about another £15 or £20 for insurance.

Someone from Germany has showed a bit of interest in my UL310 and I don’t have a clue what courier to use if I was to sell it to them – any ideas who to use and how much it would cost?

Wow, that's some pretty sweet stuff!! Did you buy a whole shop or something?

[quote name='martthebass' post='462062' date='Apr 14 2009, 01:01 PM'] Have any of you guys got to the point where you think your bass gear is better than you are (or even worse - could be)?[/quote] Probably, but it’s nice owning good stuff. I'm in the process of down-grading my rig so this should help level things out

Do you have a BIN BassChat price for the SWR 350 head? :brow:

Well this turned out to be a complete waste of time and effort - contacted him 4 or 5 times and even offered to come and collect the whole lot from his doorstep and he didn't bother getting back in contact with me
