[quote name='beerdragon' post='70350' date='Oct 6 2007, 04:16 PM']I'm starting to get a few butterflies at the the moment. we are playing at a local pub tonight and as well as friends and family i know few people from other bands who have a night off are coming plus workmates, i know the guys from other bands come to gigs to scrutanize and maybe criticise. i really should'nt care and i can only do what i can do. still got those nerves though, I'm using a Hartke 400watt head and this cab, so its not as if they wont hear me! [attachment=2660:4200_073...9c1967fe.jpg][/quote] They probably won't notice any subtle mistakes, what's obvious to you will probably slip past most people - and lets face it, a lot of non-musos don't know what a bass guitar is. Musos will be/have been in a similar position and most will be supportive, at least to your face. The thing I do is to accept I'll probably make a couple of mistakes but just enjoy myself anyway.

I think it's a great idea - it could be a really useful resource. I checked maybe because I have the technology, but time is an issue. I'd like to think I'd be able to contribute something tho'

I asked for pics a couple of days ago and received nothing </sarcasm>

[quote name='finnbass' post='69968' date='Oct 5 2007, 12:57 PM']Doesn't that same argument apply to the BR? I have one, and it's great, but as far as I'm aware it's not bass-specific?[/quote] that's why I'm not so sure about getting the boss one

[quote name='The Burpster' post='69955' date='Oct 5 2007, 12:35 PM']Not tried both, but have and use a BR. Its a top bit of kit! Bear in mind that the Tascam is a guitar model and not yet a Bass specific, so the effects will be all guitar stuff. It will probably NOT cut out teh correct frequencies for the bass as the CD BT Mk II does either. My advice is if you desperately need to evaluate teh Tascam wait unitl the Bass specific MP3 comes out.... or...... get a BR now....[/quote] the bass one is out now - check out [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/33308"]this link[/url], if they're that new then maybe no-one's tried one yet. If someone would buy my boss looper I could get one

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='69765' date='Oct 4 2007, 11:14 PM']Hey Beedster, take a look at the guys hands! Do you really want to go and play mind games with someone who's knuckles clearly spend as much time in contact with the floor[/quote] but if you look at the guy's belly, I'm sure chris will be able to outrun him if it turns ugly

[quote name='BOD2' post='69527' date='Oct 4 2007, 02:57 PM']Didn't he do a record with that legendary producer Tony Viscosity ?[/quote] now that's funny.

[quote name='kevbass' post='69226' date='Oct 3 2007, 07:12 PM']The guy raises a good point about the strength of the pound to the dollar right now, even with postage this to me seems like a sweet little deal considering the condition its in [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Early-Peavey-USA-T-20-Long-Scale-Bass-Guitar_W0QQitemZ190158371109QQihZ009QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Early-Peavey-USA-T-2...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url][/quote] that's a gorgeous bass

I'm going to be getter a phrase trainer in some form soon, and was wondering which one was more appropriate. Has anybody had experience of both or either one? Are there any alternatives? I've used a Korg Pandora before which was great, but I'd like something that stores the backing tracks. cheers

nice

at least no one will steal it

so I decided togo with the neck pup cover. I'd had it stuck on for a week or so with no nails tape stuff. Looks cool, but in a much more utilitarian light, it encouraged me to explore plucking the strings in different positions (I hadn't realised how little I had explored this), which made me look at varying how hard I was plucking the strings...... I could go on anyway, it's looking like this at the moment [attachment=2538:DSC00487.JPG] I love the unintentional soft focus . I'm still considering putting on a set of black beauties

wow, nice find (depending on the price obviously)

[quote name='Pikefloyd' post='67295' date='Sep 29 2007, 10:29 AM']I use one of these; [url="http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1600"]http://www.samsontech.com/products/product...cfm?prodID=1600[/url][/quote] I have one of these in the for sale section [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5825"]here[/url]

[quote name='dlloyd' post='66771' date='Sep 28 2007, 10:16 AM']However, if you use the appropriate modes for the appropriate chords, you're more likely to hit strong notes at the correct time.[/quote] can you clarify what you mean by strong notes?

I saw this too, it is lovely but I sadly can't justify it at the moment
