Bass players with the most expensive gear who have little experience or talent[/quote] Agreedthere is nothing worse than playing with a 15 year old who has just started out whos parents have bought him the Fender CS and an Ampeg rig.

He tried graphite but they stained his skins so he went off them [/quote] Ah my drummer cuts himself at most gigs (not on purpose) so his skins are blood stained anyway.

[quote name='Sarah5string' post='273917' date='Aug 31 2008, 06:20 PM']He says 'Oh piss off' LMAO! Don't start on his sticks! [/quote] Are they graphite sticks? My drummer has graphite sticks andhas used the same pair for years in a Punk band.

And red bull cans beside amps Loving this thread

Active basses I don't get it why spnd your money on batterys when the amp can do the work

[quote name='Josh' post='273891' date='Aug 31 2008, 05:53 PM']Not for much longer [/quote] His going to make his own because no one in the world makes basses properly. I agree with the knob thing

Laney are great at Practice/small gigging combos but when they make big heads the result is shockingly bad IMO

[quote name='Paul Cooke' post='273872' date='Aug 31 2008, 05:39 PM']pointless pedal boards... yup, that's why I just use a Zoom B2.1U or just my ME-20B + tuner pedal on my home made pedal board... just to keep them in one place... along with the wallwart PSUs... and the DI[/quote] It wasn't the pedalboard, it's the boards that are filled up with pedal and the only thing that is used is the tuner.

[quote name='Josh' post='273862' date='Aug 31 2008, 05:30 PM']How come no one has mentioned BC Rich yet???? It's Madness I say.[/quote] Is there any bass you do like ? PS anyone who sees there stuff mentioned on this thread don't take it to heart it's all personal preference.

Pointy basses or guitars

[quote name='Adrenochrome' post='273837' date='Aug 31 2008, 05:12 PM']Wow, I'm surprised by the anti-Ashdown sentiments. My 2x10 cab was only just over £100, the head about £170 I think. Both are 100% reliable and loud enough to hear myself onstage [PA does the donkeywork]. For that sort of money, where's the beef?[/quote] I was just talking about the heads I use an Ashdown 4X10 with my Trace no complaints

I agree on Hartke they are absolute sh*t

I will add. Pointless pedal boards. Ashdown. Headstock snobary. Coffee table basses.

[quote name='Tee' post='273818' date='Aug 31 2008, 04:49 PM']Lol, if i ever go canoeing, i'll give it a look in [/quote] Haha I tink that is all it's good for. I can play more than 4 strings and I can definatly can afford one I bought a 5 string for a tenner yesterday.

My account will be deleted after this post. 1.Anything with more than 4 strings 2.Warwicks 3.Any bass that costs more than £1000 4.Wireless units I will think of more and come back if my account is still intact.

[quote name='Russ' post='273472' date='Aug 31 2008, 03:27 AM']The DBS gear was, and is, awesome stuff. Ridiculously loud, great thick tone and virtually bulletproof. The cabs were utterly back-breaking, though. Even the 2x10" weighed more than most 4x10"s... If Marshall want to come out with something new for bassists out there, a newer, millennial version of the DBS range, with neodymium speakers, etc, would go down awfully well - certainly better than the MB stuff is doing. And, other than the seminal Mr. Kilminster and Chris Wolstenholme, they don't really have any name players using their gear... in fact, I think you'll find that many players out there don't even know that Marshall make bass gear. If they got a few high-profile endorsers, they'd find themselves selling significantly more. Put out a new DBS range, get Chris Wolstenholme to play them and appear in their ads, and watch them fly out the door...[/quote] I think [url="http://www.mkdons.premiumtv.co.uk/staticFiles/2f/f4/0,,10420~128047,00.jpg"]This[/url] could have a negitive effect on Marshall sales.

I don't use the TV guide surely you can see what is on without it using the arrow keys.

[quote name='5_string_death' post='273418' date='Aug 30 2008, 11:40 PM']I want to try his signature stack that Marshall's doing. Hope its gonna be at music live so i can give it a bit of a blast. Looks fantastic, especially the 4x15 cab [/quote] Does look awesome but for the money it's gonna be I couldn't buy it over an Ampeg

I'm tone deaf but this sounds similer from 2:08

Haha I learnt how to play the intro tonight I was using distortion and thinking of basslines that would sound good with it on.

[quote name='kevbass' post='273379' date='Aug 30 2008, 10:13 PM']Go for an Ibanez pd7 bass overdrive pedal, you can dial in distortion or overdrive without dumping the bass out of your sound as is a problem with the Boss overdrive ODB3 pedal. Plugging it into a guitar metal zone pedal you'll also lose the bass so Ibanez is your best bet.[/quote] Yeah to be honest I don't really use distorted bass but I had my les paul out earlier and the pedal was still out so I thought I would plug the bass into and see what it sounded like.
