I used a playing card and found that the thickness of the card alone was enough to cure a wonky fretboard on an OLP ray I used to have. It was fine from then on. IIRC didn't Fenders sometimes have shims under the neck pockets from new? Cheers ped

Hi mate, Nice to meet you on Sunday and thanks for the ideas. I am going to discuss them with kiwi as I am sure they can be implemented easily. All the ideas so far have been great. I am not sure we need to do anything especially new other than keeping the forum running and maintained. Cheers ped

Needless to say I am extremely grateful to everyone who organised and attended the event. Congratulations to Mike257! Cheers ped

Just got in - superb day, very busy but great to meet so many people and spend some time with matt... I was blown away by Ylonda(SP?) Charles - just freakin' superb. Incredible. Off to bed I think, look forward to hearing from everyone else how the later acts went down. Shame I had to miss Bona but me and Urb had a god laugh with TM Stevens. What a ledge. Cheers ped

We did this on a previous version of the site and had many more basses than Basstasters (albeit in a less well presented package) I still have all the clips but nowhere to host them all. I will poke around and see how we can sort this out and then request more clips to add to the list... Cheers ped

Cheers mate! The synths are really fun as there are no tracking problems and they are polyphonic. You might say I am a synth player now rather than just a bassist!! ped

Hmm, never had the 'Live' version so unfamiliar with the pedal options/control, sorry.... ped

Cool stuff Tayste, I hope they are paying you! Keep them coming!

Awesome thread, keep them all coming...

[quote name='MythSte' post='321875' date='Nov 4 2008, 03:40 PM']As far as im aware, you could quite easily bias the tubes a little colder (forgive the poor terminology, i dont [i]really[/i] know what im on about) as the Trace V heads have that lovely bias trim on the back.[/quote] Not many have this feature actually, I think it was only the newer V4 and V8's. ped

I used to use that too but I didn't like the way it handled the top end as much, so I used the GK mostly ('eighties') which was very natural sounding with my bass. ped

...Or is he ;0)

Crikey! That is very strange indeed. It wasn't Ashley Pangborn was it ;0) Nobody can seem to get hold of him! I wonder what the scary man would have done if the bass turned out to be a lemon and didn't get played? I would be on the first plane home just in case! ped

Very cool collection. I wonder how the South African ones compare to the Pang? I have always liked the look of them and it looks as though the S. African chap does some impressive work.. Cheers ped

Lovely stuff

Sounds interesting. I will view the video later on today and let you have my thoughts. I have always found though that the best way to become successful as a musician is to smile, be polite, friendly, have a laugh and have a go at everything! ped

Welcome! Which 'Shire' are you referring to?

Hi, Just been sent the copies of a jam I had recently with my studio band. My brother just got his Vdrums and we were playing with them and recording everything we did from a cheap mixer into Garageband, no mixing or anything. As a result I have carved out a few clips to demonstrate some of the more wacky settings on the Vbass pedal. This was a while ago, before I worked out how to use the pedal in stereo but it gives a good idea. First clip is my bass clean: [url="http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/85432/jam%20clips/Half%20moon%20short.mp3"]http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/85432/ja...oon%20short.mp3[/url] Second there is a Jazz bass clip: [url="http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/85432/jam%20clips/Holiday%20fun%20short.mp3"]http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/85432/ja...fun%20short.mp3[/url] Here is a fretless clip. Delay matched to click: [url="http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/85432/jam%20clips/Seismic%20mellow%20short1.mp3"]http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/85432/ja...ow%20short1.mp3[/url] A synth one: [url="http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/85432/jam%20clips/Enemy%20lines%20short1.mp3"]http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/85432/ja...es%20short1.mp3[/url] Another synth (I'm playing the bass notes and the keyboard sounding high bits) [url="http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/85432/jam%20clips/Enemy%20lines%20short2.mp3"]http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/85432/ja...es%20short2.mp3[/url] These are all played on one bas remember!! Since recording these and discovering the absolute joys of stereo things sound even better! Cheers ped

[quote name='josh3184' post='320534' date='Nov 2 2008, 10:14 PM']maybe your ashbory was defretted if its second hand?[/quote] Ahh but that would still mean you should fret on the line, as it were! Confusing indeed... I played a bass made by ESH I think which you had to play in between the lines. I actually found it more natural than playing on the lines and really liked it. In the end though I thought unlined was the way to go, with dots and lines on the side.... Cheers ped

[quote name='Mikey R' post='319929' date='Nov 2 2008, 01:11 AM']most of us just try the amp out in a shop - Mert, on the other hand, really does his research! [/quote] He's a good lad - takin' one for the team!!

Hmm. Maybe get one from Norway

Yeah - the only way to know is to try. Therefore, to the original poster, and back to my earlier comment: Get one!
