Try the GK neo stuff! Other than that it's usually two out of three when it comes to loud, lightweight, low price.

Jazz appears to be a field where highly skilled musicians prove to be very poor songwriters.

[quote name='maldy' timestamp='1382107683' post='2248124'] That would be my ideal and was my plan. I prefer getting practice done early, rather than doing it late in the evening. However, for the last seven months my one year old has been waking several times in the night and getting up between 5:30 and 6 :-( [/quote] It'll get better. Have fun with the little one and they'll be fun for you

Maybe try to place Napalm Death in their historic perspective? Edit: nice to hear you had a good time

Nobody needs a P bass, you're probably just going through withdrawals.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1381917060' post='2245299'] Arrange a charity gig, a HUGE one, get it televised worldwide and invite all your favourite artistes to play. Then jam with them. [/quote] I do this every thursday! Always the same gits turn up

Any tailor/clothes repair/shoe repair/leatherworker/sailmaker etc could stitch a solid strap to a gigbag. Those clasps are always fashioned out of cheap metals or pvc plastic and will not take any sort of abuse. Even a puff of wd40 or siliconspray may triple their longevity!

A tiny desk in the corner of the bedroom However she keeps my basses on display in the livingroom That way she keeps track of any sneak purchase. :/ She makes up for it by being awesome though

[quote name='Stumper' timestamp='1381768840' post='2243431'] the next step is a matter of finding a guitar shop with a decent range on offer, then going along and plugging in to a few. [/quote] Spot on!

"Do it. I'm down to two usable basses and one in bits. There's only one that ever gets taken to gigs though and that's the [B]Stingray[/B]"

That got annoying when he stacked all that feedback. I have beaten guitards down for pulling that sh*t! Good craftsmanship controlling all what was going on though.

All I hear about 8inchers is people raving about the SWR henry. There is a henry jr. 4x8 aswell, that may be interesting to checj out for coupling with your current setup.

I have no problems, back or elsewhere. However private sessions going one-on-one with a pilates certified ostheopathic instructeuse sounds like I may have found a new hobby!

No fair! I apply to 3/5th of the settings

Most seem to sound great and are quality instruments. I will not buy a bass that has a penis for top horn.

A small mixer is best. Everything you need in the mixer, headphones or monitor (powered desktop speaker for instance) out.

A flying V should give ample airtime, although a curly cord would be ... amusing.

Elacin ER15 fitted ones for me. Why spend any money at all on gear and none to hear it for as long as you can? The toiletpaper idea has to be one of the worst I've heard, who are you kidding?

Indeed neither are blues or rock. Can't think of anything better than 'guitar-pop',or the almighty 'contemporary'.

My influences are good for metal! Really though: Frank Bello, Newsted, Burton, Les Claypool, Dan Lilker, Robert Trujillo...

My 3 basses are neatly displayed on the wall above the tele, using diagonal mounts. MTD 5 / EB SR5 / Dean cabbie (yellow hollowbody with checkered sides). My wife insisted! ... let me rummage about, see if I have a picture... [IMG]http://imageshack.us/scaled/medium/254/20120308162144.jpg[/IMG] Yep! Bad picture using the panorama feature of my previous phone \○/

Thank you! After a day of GTA V this was truely refreshing.

I'm not very familiar with rackable preamps. Alembic has some popular ones I think, and line6 has a rack pod pro maybe? There must be plenty made for studio use etc. The Jules Monique gets rave reviews but is not a rack unit I think. There are also the thirty-odd pedal preamps that would do the trick, and probably cheaper so you could mix&match a couple. The sale/trade section on here are a great place to start looking. Can check evilbay, but I have found some good prices by typing the unit name of choice in to google and selecting 'shopping'. People who actually know about preamps should be along shortly
