You need to consider revoicing parts too- if you keep shifting up the board you run out of bassy notes eventually

[quote name='Son of the Wear' timestamp='1330801015' post='1563259'] Thanks for the positive comments, Geoff. In case anyone was wondering, they were bass magazines......... [/quote] He keeps the goat fetish ones under lock and key... smooth and easy transaction for a bass trainer, good communication. Would happily deal again.

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1433113793' post='2788034'] Can't help you regarding the authenticity of your bass but plain old white spirit is fantastic at removing sticker goo. Fine on plastic. [/quote] Wd40 might be kinder

[quote name='Painy' timestamp='1433079145' post='2787584'] I think the reason that Adam Clayton's many and varied signature basses are so widely ridiculed is that none of them are what could actually be described as his signature model i.e. synonymous with the player in the way that say a black P with mirrored pickguard would be associated with Phil Lynott. His basses are signature models only in the sense that his signature is printed on them. It seems to be a case of whenever he happens to get a new bass then the manufacturer - whoever that may be - puts his name on the headstock to shift a few extra units at a premium regardless of whether he will ever actually be seen playing live or in the studio with it. Right, I'm of to scribble my name onto my Fender Jazz that I bought a few months ago despite having played Warwicks exclusively for the previous 10 years [/quote] To be fair I've seen him play the last two live

Why have just one ? They're not expensive A fender strap (the fabric/leather ones that come OE) for each regardless of make, I don't change height that I play at so it doesn't matter that the brands differ Like seashell I just can't be bothered to swap them about

Nice red tort there

Victorwooten has had a few also, as has flea I suspect part of it is ego, it must be quite flattering I do think it's a touch overpriced though !

Every one I've had, especially recent ones, has been well made.

Welcome I believe basschat member faithless is also a Lithuanian ?

Nice Heading for extreme battered with fake grain filler applied after

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1332522547' post='1589625'] Love the tone on The Jackson 5 "I want you back" - the whole riff feels sooo perfect.. "I refuse" - Hue & Cry Stanley Clarke - "We supply" Virtually everything by Ozric Tentacles What Mick Karn did everytime he picked up a bass [/quote] Telecaster bass in the first case, Wilton felder I really like the late rutger gunnarson's tone

Chain and seven nation army perchance ?

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1432793673' post='2784967'] Nope. When I learned it, it was played up the dusty end starting on the 17th so it's easy to play the one open A at the end of the 1st bar & the open E at the end of the 3rd. [/quote] Ok was basing this on concert footage where he uses a and d but its up to you really

A and D strings surely ?

No pleasing some people

Interested in hearing from those with fender basses where the paint flaked off on the sides (leaving paint on front and back mainly) Eg https://www.dropbox.com/s/z2ef44s9634dmai/photo%2007-11-2014%2022%2051%2029.jpg?dl=0 Question - are there any areas where it hasn't flaked off the edges ?

I would play it, my daughter would love it, but the pish taking here at Chateau Geek would be immense

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1432758129' post='2784751'] I'm going to rip my Ray5 apart and stick in EMGs. It's a wonderful playing bass but it needs to sound different. I may even rout it for a neck single coil too. I may or may not tell the EBMM forum afterwards! [/quote] Definitely hell-bound

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1432730318' post='2784336'] I think this thread wins the award for 'vaguest thread title'... [/quote] in response to the uber criticism of the title. ....

Ok thanks He does have pa speakers as he makes announcements I did suggest we try iPhone and irig next time Am I ok to use the line / headphone or should I use xlr ?

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1432662040' post='2783733'] You can certainly feed the Zoom into the mixer... but there has to be an amp somewhere! How do you amplify the output of the mixer at the moment? It must have an amplifier built-in or there must be a separate amplifier for the mixer. In that case, it depends on the amplifier. If it's loud enough for the intended venue, then yes, it could work. If you don't have an amplifier, then... well, no. [/quote] It's an open mic night, trying to avoid taking my heavy combo and since I'm "the only bass player in the village" there won't be one there already Organiser says there isn't an amp in his big mixer.

So if I had a cheapie power amp like maplins sell (ie not a combo) that would do it ?

Possibly s silly question I have a zoom b2.1 - will that feed a large mixer to performance volume ? Or do I need an amp
