Are you really shocked that a rock band has recorded things like they'd play them live & not had the producer quantize everything to the grid?

I love the Yello/Art Of Noise esque that the drums have. Really good. Looks like there's another tough choice coming when voting starts!

Do you mean a 1x15 combo &a 2x10 cab or is it 2 combos your looking at? If combos, then whatever you like the sound of. If combo & cab, I'd go for either 2 1x15s or 2 2x10s.

[/quote] +1 Get yourself to a decent bass shoppe. I'm sure there's a few near London. Bass Gallery has a good selection of things (now called The Gallery - Bass Merchant).

The one that's getting on my thruppnies just now is "teh". I type it almost every time I type "the" & then go & correct it. Makes sentences take twice as long!

Silly Q, have you tried removing the compressor?

Looking forward to seeing it. Make a change from my loop & tangle wires.

I took a chance & strung my only bass with flats. Wish I would have done it 20 years ago! They don't have the "zing" of rounds, but the Tomastic Infelds don't lack treble for getting a decent slap sound or percussive rock sound with a pick & I think they have a much better lower end (deeper sound) than the DR Strings that I was using previous. I like them because they lack the zing. Flats don't just do the Mowtown sound, they fit in with all styles (even slap).

I'm another for the iPhone as a jam recording device. A couple of friends have the Zoom H2 & they do a nice job too.

What's the difference? Isn't the T115 the same but with a different name?

I got mine from Flightcase Warehouse online. You get a case with a detachable lid & a bit of black painted wood (which I was going to bin, but is very useable) with some cheap velcro. You can then get some heavy duty velcro & put a couple of stoppers on the board to slope it, replace it with your own or do away with the board idea & just glue loop fabric directly in the case. Here's some pics... [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/xgsjx/6711372259/][/url]

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1349898269' post='1832059'] Great work man! Really synthy bass sound, love it! [/quote] Thanks Nige. I'd previously been considering selling all my gear (except the bass) due to lack of use, but making this was good fun & still undecided, but leaning towards "keep".

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1349896586' post='1832022'] Brilliant! Love the feedback at the start. The percussion is fantastic - really inventive and interesting. Great how it kicks in with the synth and kick/snare (nice clean synth btw)...switches from something ambient to very danceable! Reminds me a bit of Eat Static or Banco de Gaia in parts :-) Nice production too. Sounds great thru my cans and even over my poxy phone speaker! (even caught Mrs Skol nodding along - a rarity). Good job mate. [/quote] Cheers The synth is the Minimoog VSTi. It's a pretty good synth (I'd love a Moog Voyager). In a way, all the sounds are Moog (with the exception of the drums). I put my bass through a couple of moogerfoogers (I envy shep having 5! ) & the filter is one of the best pedals I've ever had.

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1349884028' post='1831795'] Nov 1st. It's a monthly event they hold. Ill get some more details for you! [/quote] Sorry, but am I reading what it says on that ad correctly? ".....the last bj at the rigger for a while....."

Lids usually come off mixer cases. If not you could replace the bolts in the hinges with snap clips. You do realise you could squeeze a couple of Moogerfoogers in there too?

Got mine done. Had fun making the bass sounds & playing them (makes me want more pedals!). I think it's another tough month as this month's entries are a very high standard! Anyway, I saw the pic & thought of people setting the stage & everything else for an outdoor gig & thought of the trucks moving about & folk running around setting things up (hence the orange cardigan & other folk standing supervising). http://soundcloud.com/xgsjx/november-dirt

It is indeed. Technology is good when used creatively, not so good when just used to "cheat" & try to pass off as talent.

Q1: No, you're wrong. The RH450 is @ 240 watts at 4 ohm & @ 180 at 8. Best thing to do is forget everything you think you know about watts & just use your ears. The RH450 is a loud amp, but the MarkBass cabs are pretty loud too. Q2: I like the sound of MarkBass cabs (& amps too), but you might not. It's that personal preference thing Best advice is to go & play through both (& others too) to see what you prefer.

Put your donkey down & get to bed!

I think the main factor is personal taste. One man's perfect combination is another's fartbox. I've read a few folk on here over the years saying that "X" bass sounds crap through their rig, but "Y" bass sounds awesome.

My suggestion is the Vox Venue 30 bass combo. The one I have has even saw a few gigs.

If you shop around, you can pick up a MB combo s/h for under £500. Not sure if that's still pushing your limit though?

If you can stretch your funds (sell your amp), have a look at the Markbass combos. Loads of volume from a small, light rig. Like above, Barefaced would probably be my choice if going down the amp/cab route. Or build a BFM cab.
