  1. Cool! Now add one of these: http://musichallroma.it/image/cache/data/TECAMP/BAD%20CAB-500x500.jpg
  2. Ah the 1x15 may be what's bugging you. A somewhat clearer sounding 2x12 cab may give you more definition and cut through, as well as helping with volume due to larger speaker surface. An other option still is adding a 2x10 if shlepping 2 cabs is an option. This in addition to all of the above ofcourse
  3. Where's the 'if I found a fender round the house I'd bin it' option?
  4. [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1396257622' post='2411362'] In short (see what I did there?), if the lead singer is a short-arse with a small ego, you are going to make him look tiny, a particular problem in genres like HM where the macho image is sometimes part of the deal. [/quote] Rubbish comment. Ronny James Dio, Glenn Danzig to name a couple. HM is no more 'boy band image' affected than any other popular music. There are commercial acts whose image precedes musicianship (i.e. Poison, Motley Crue, Cradle of Filth) but they are far outnumbered by the people that try to make energetic powerful guitar oriented music and don't care as much about looks.
  5. Bring a stack taller than you. Hand out goggles as safety measure against flying debris.
  6. I had Ernie Ball strings break on me or go dead within a fortnight. Love DRs! I use their DDTs in near-standard tuning. The lo-riders I used to use are good too, but I found the hi-beams too zingy. Not enough clout.
  7. A five string V would make sense though!
  8. " Finish: Yellow Top, Black & White Checkerboard Back & Sides" Mine has a yellow back, checks just on the side. So far for collector's item value.
  9. Great looking bass! My '96 SR5 also has a matte pg.
  10. P J Rick Ray 'bic V Dingwal MTD Aaaand derivatives...
  11. Roll back the bass and treble: viola! Mid boost!
  12. I keep the Aural Enhancer on the SWR at 11:00, Gain at 13:00, Master as needed and the rest at noon. The pedal preamp is there for taste, so scoop or bump to taste. Buttons are fun, try them!
  13. "I have vague money-no-object GAS for a bass that may not even exist - a long-scale 5 string" Flying V in CAR with white pg. It's called a V why is there not one with V strings on?
  14. Second one, but the teardrop should be completed by the last fret, not the base of the neck. Looks like a plan!
  15. It's lovely! Regular shape for the SR5 pickguard btw.
  16. Megan Fox.
  17. Mxr bass comp here. On all the time for a little limiting. Easy to set up!
  18. I love my new Verellen valve preamp, it does give that bounce and full-fat tone when I want it, and I switch it off to go directly into the SWR 750x which is tight like a tight thing!
  19. My guitards want more slap, more envelope filter and other weird bass party tricks. I thought I was in a thrash metal band! Anyhow, heres a good instructional film about slapping with bass: http://youtu.be/xCwLirQS2-o
  20. baxshop in the NL has the Sony dwz b[b]50[/b]gb marked for availability in 15 weeks. For the dutch readers: http://www.bax-shop.nl/instrument-draadloos/sony-pro-dwz-b50gb-draadloos-systeem-voor-basgitaar/product-details.html

    I'm still curious if anyone has any experience with this slim double bass, as I would imagine it would be less loud for practice at home, but good enough when amplified at gigs? [Quote]is this 'slim' instrument just designed for amplified playing, with little chance of a decent acoustic sound? Seems obvious really, and I don't want to limit myself to getting used to an unsually shaped bass. But still, the price is alright! http://www.thomann.d...ss_europe_1.htm[/quote]
  22. I feel this is appropriate here.
  23. In - MXR m82 bef - Verellen meatsmoke preamp - MXR m87 bc - out Verellen rec out to tuner. The comp is last in the chain because the envelope filter and preamp are sensitive to attack. Effect-GAS free \0/
  24. I have the meatsmoke preamp in pedal format, Best Ever! Verellen fanboy bump.
  25. My life without Donald Fagan would be drastically identical.
