I thought Ashdowns, were meant to be one of the tops, though I haven't myself used one before now.[/quote] MB1. It really does ,depend on what speaker configuration you want to use,I, like Mr Machines use Ashdown 10s with a Status bass and theyre far from wooly and undefined.

[quote name='molan' post='198229' date='May 13 2008, 08:20 PM']Got saddled with someone else's rig at a gig recently - an Ashdown Evo 500 head with a 1x15 & 4x8. Absolutely hated it, boomy, woolly, lacking in any kind of definition. I think it was the 15 that was causing the most problems but when I pulled it out of the rig the 4x8 wasn't really doing it for me either. Shame as it was my first gig for ages & I could easily have bought my own gear but as we were one of three bands on the bill we all agreed to use the same rig to avoid hassle of swapping stuff out. Nice of the Ashdown owner to let us all use his rig but I really didn't get on with it at all. Have a vague feeling it might have sounded a bit better out front but not 100% convinced![/quote] MB1. Mini 4x8 and 1x15? they sounded great out front, trust me, i had this problem with mine(rear ported,but lacked definition when i was playing in front of them) thats why i sold them .I still use Ashdown but 2x10s instead.

[quote name='Oscar South' post='196705' date='May 11 2008, 09:08 PM']Don't really hate it, just don't really like it. Hate how every bassist is expected to love and embrace funk though, I'm competent at it but give me some Post/Prog Rock/Metal, British Folk or some serious Jazz over funk any day. Anyone else feel similarly?[/quote] MB1. Blimey!.....Whos crapped in your Slippers?

MB1. Heres one for the photocopier!

Dont you know!

[quote name='Wooks' post='196118' date='May 10 2008, 05:45 PM']I am contemplating on entering the world of EUB. But I was wondering if it was possible to play the Stagg whilst seated in a "conventional" manner across your lap like a normal electric, or can you lower the leg so that it can be played whilst seated? The reason I ask is I've got a disability with my legs and I can't stand for too up long without feeling severe discomfort in my legs. Can you play the Stagg with a bow too?? Another consideration I was looking at because of the scarcity of the ol' Stagg's was a Dean Pace EUB and I was wondering the same points about this model too, I.E. can it be played seated and with a bow?? Or does anybody know of an EUB around the similar price range that you can suggest that might fill my requirements? Thanks [/quote] MB1. I can play my Stagg in a seated position......Must admit though its not much fun!......My Staggs a Basscase!

[quote name='Inca' post='195994' date='May 10 2008, 02:34 PM']In my looooooooooooooooong hunt for a bass tutor i went for a lesson a week ago, tutor takes me through to the room we shall be playing in with only 2 small guitar amps and his 2 cheap (unnamed) guitars and proceeds to try to tutor me bass whilst using his guitar. he knows no modern music, gave me nothing to have acheived by the next lesson and lifted £20 off me Gave me a sob story (i am a sucker) so i rebook a next lesson!! but i have nothing to learn for it, he covered all stuff i already know and all we basically did was i played a bassline (song of his choice) whilst he played guitar and sang over it (felt exactly like a pub jam but without the beer and fun) [b]ok everyone what i want to know - is this the best tutor i am going to find?[/b] i have been turned down over the phone by 2 other tutors for being a girl and for being too old (27!!!) apparently my small girls hands will mean its too hard to teach me Help - should i get rid of this tutor and carry on looking or keep forking out £20 a pop?[/quote] MB1. Please dont waste anymore time with this joker for £20 you could get a self tuition/starter dvd off Ebay and learn more in an afternoon.Small Hands???..... piffle!.........Not all Bass players have hands the size of paddles you can land planes with!.Fill a brown paper bag with dogdirt place it on his doorstep.... light it!...ring the doorbell and run off!.......What a Pompous Twat!
