Peavey Microbass - gives you all but the battery power option for under £70 [url="http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Peavey-Microbass-Bass-Amp/8JA"]Peavey Microbass[/url] Works great as both a practise amp, and to give my basses enough grunt to compete with our band when unplugged/acoustic... Or for another £50, the battery option as well :- [url="http://www.andertons.co.uk/acatalog/info_RXMICROCUBEBASS.html"]Roland Microcube[/url]

Just couldn't resist another - photos from a couple of sources - bass should be here in a couple of days :-

Last month's Bass Guitar magazine too....

Don't know about those, but can recommend the Tascam Bass Trainer - especially the MP3 version - does all you want and loads more :- [url="http://www.tascam.com/products/mp-bt1.html"]Click Here[/url] £100 more than the options above, though ....

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='268372' date='Aug 23 2008, 11:07 AM']Nice... I'm guessing you may have one or two Level 42 albums in the house.[/quote] just a couple - it's a versatile rig, though, not all slap!

My current rig :-

My old, early 80's 1110/GP7 Mk V combo, originally black vinyl, recovered by me in slightly newer old stock green carpet.... (Now sold)

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='257947' date='Aug 8 2008, 11:39 AM']Nice set-up. Watched the YouTube clip - that bass is like a fruit machine doing the special feature gamble![/quote] Fortunately there's 11 settings, including off and "feature hold" (all on) - so you can save the nudge/gamble effect for the encore!

I'm suprised no-one's mentioned www.reverbnation.com yet - not a full website builder, or a social networking page, but there's some nifty tools there, and plug-ins for Facebook, etc. as well.. No techie skills/not much time needed either... [url="http://www.reverbnation.com/thelastmenstanding"]http://www.reverbnation.com/thelastmenstanding[/url] is our page

Here's mine - The S1 will get treated to Blue FretFX LED's soon - details as per sig :- And a video of James (my S2's previous owner) demoing the SIM's LED's and GB Controller! :- [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRjiJIVh5iE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRjiJIVh5iE[/url]

Would probably appeal to those who leave the plastic on their car seats and sofas to "keep them nice"....

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='244982' date='Jul 22 2008, 12:54 AM']Give a headless a go if you’ve never played one – they’re not to everyone’s tastes and it would be sh*t to drop £1k+ on a headless Status and not like it. I played a headless a few years ago and I just couldn’t get on with it. The way it felt was so weird and I found that subconsciously I always felt that I was lower down the fret board than I actually was because there was no headstock, so I always felt out of position (if that makes any sense…it does in my head anyway )[/quote] +1 - what he said.... prefer headed.....

Very wide, shallow "stage"...

[quote name='bnt' post='236320' date='Jul 10 2008, 09:40 AM']You don't happen to work for the BBC. do you? Don't get me started on glasses... any 2-for-1 special offers seem to evaporate when they see me coming. I think they have to tool up specially to make these lenses (-10L -8R) [/quote] Ultralase could be your answer - had mine done 18 months ago (from a -6) - best money I've ever spent!

I do hope you weren't fobbed off with the inferior far eastern rose-tinted version.....

[quote name='7string' post='236201' date='Jul 10 2008, 12:04 AM']What do you think of the FretFX LED's ??[/quote] Great for the money - the red ones on the Washburn have been solid for a couple of years now, and they're much brighter than they look - problem is they're next to a set of Sims magnifiers on the S2! Blue ones on the fretless next, if I decide to keep it....
