[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1378387271' post='2199511'] Yeh but isn't that just Portsmouth? [/quote] Ahhhh.... It all makes sense...

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1378387094' post='2199506'] You only want to compress notes that are properly in tune..? [/quote] Nah, don't need to be [i]that[/i] in tune... the guitarist doesn't bother... ;-)

I always keep my compressor second in my chain, after the tuner. I can give no particular reason for this...

There are always exceptions to any rule that you care to set up, but stereotypes are there for a reason. I wouldn't say it's always the case, but [i]most [/i]bass players i've known have been easy going, laid back nice guys, [i]most [/i]front men have been rather egotistical, [i]most [/i]guitarists have been showoffs (and also extremely unconfident about their own skill) and [i]most [/i]drummers have been somewhat... ummm, animalistic...?

I'd like to complain about people who hold things up by complaining about people who complain. It's about time something was done about it...

[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1378382394' post='2199391'] Apparently we bass players are a miserable bunch who enjoy arguments! [/quote] Just thinking that I'd joined up to one of 'those' threads again....

Sid Vicious anyone? Oh, sorry, we were discussing bass players...

But it sounds better than the 'standerd' Jazz!

Just got the second Ima Robot album. Not as good as the first, but some good tracks on there. Trying to find more alternative stuff at the moment, mostly to wash the blandness of the pop-charts out of my brain...

It does all depend on what you want to sample/loop. If it's something to prepare beforehand, then some of the dedicated (and more complex) loopers are great if you've got time for them. If it's an on the fly loop you're after, keep it simple! The Akai and Ditto are the nicest simple ones I've seen recently (the Akai supposedly is discontinued last I heard, but seems to be available everywhere... please correct me though!). The Boss and Jamman ones aren't bad, but too many buttons for my liking...

Akai Headrush is an excellent live tool. Far less options than the others, but that makes it so easy to use!

Saying that though, when do we call it a day for this bass? Providing it keeps working and doesn't fall apart, this could go on and on!

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1367692701' post='2068526'] Did you see the 2011/ 12 Precision Pro ? It was beautiful , which is why these latest ones are such a bad joke : [/quote] ^That^ is pretty much my dream bass. This year's model... not so much... What confuses me is that the PJ configuration is so common elsewhere nowadays, but Fender just don't have it as a standard option. I missed out on the Late 90's/early 00's 'Hotrod' models and they've not come back since... :-(

^^^ Sounds good! I'd be up for that!
