[quote name='Ant_On_Bass' timestamp='1363913091' post='2019619'] I don't particularly want to spend £300 on a bass whammy just for playing Tool stuff now and again [/quote] Sadly, you'd be pretty lucky to bag a Bass Whammy for £300

I've played around with this technique for a while. problem I have is this: At a slow tempo, I'm pretty much even playing with two or three fingers. Build up the tempo though and I've found that three fingers are good for speed, but two for dexterity. Now, my question is this - work on building up the speed on two fingered playing or the dexterity of three?

I'd consider using the whole bi-amping thing if I was playing a large gig. May play around at home with it driving my little Marshall combo.

Well, the Fission finally arrived. Not blown away by the tone, but also don't find it radically different from the POG or Whammy. The 4th up setting is fairly pointless in my opinion, and the distortion nothing to write home about, but I can see a number of possibilities for it. Have yet to try it in a band setting, so we shall see...

Welcome from Portsmouth, bout as far away as possible in these fair isles, but we do have a few from overseas on here!

Trying it without the cover for a change. Nice treble bezel from Ricky Sounds installed, with integrated thumbrest: [IMG]http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y440/iamtheelvy/2013-03-19174533_zps65505e3e.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y440/iamtheelvy/2013-03-19174612_zpsbb3fbe8a.jpg[/IMG]

Actually, thinking about it, maybe that's just so I always have one more bass that I must have... The mrs will not be pleased...

I've always, always wanted a black bass, but have always, always been tempted away by some other colour. So... I don't really know...

I think Elite strings got it about right: 30-90 - Extra Light 35-95 - Light 40-100 - Medium 45-105 - Standard 50-110 - Heavy At least, this made sense to me when I was younger. Nowadays, the picky side of me would prefer 'Regular' to 'Standard' but still...

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1363613109' post='2014701'] The set is known as EXL170BT although 45-107 or, 'Regular Light' would probably suffice in the absence of the former. [/quote] So 107 is considered 'light' nowadays?

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1363257377' post='2010470'] Great bass tone for Baba, and playing too. Best bit! [/quote] Thanks very much! We found out after that there was a girl attending the gig that was niece of Entwistle himself, so hopefully did it reasonable justice!

Will have to let you know! Just had a lucky Ebay win - put in a stupidly low offer which, against all expectations, was accepted! Been a long time user of the Micro POG and Whammy for their octave up, but they've always been very digital sounding. Will be interested to try this out when it arrives.

Hey guys, coordinated with James and pinged off a load of photos to Bass Guitar Magazine HQ. No word back yet, but as soon as I hear back I'll let you know whats going on!

Excellent stuff guys! Keep it going!

Gig went really well tonight! Will post pics tomorrow when ive got time. However, for future users of the Baton some tips: It may need some TLC at points - nearly lost a knob tonight, and you dont want to do that! The bass is quite quiet - may need a volume boost compared to your normal one. Night all!

Its Relay day!
