[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1437207236' post='2824388'] God yes, especially the ubiquitous gated snare sound that was on EVERYTHING. [/quote] What about that staccato single note string line on Soul II Soul's, Back to life? Released in May 1989, and then heard on EVERY dance/soul/R&B[size=2]*[/size] track through the 90's. [size=2]. *not to be confused with RnB which is the good kind [/size]

I still have a love of 80's pop (early to mid 80's, pre SAW) and the second British invasion groups.

[quote name='Sammers' timestamp='1437126871' post='2823763'] At £399 I bet the internals are pretty low-spec, If they've cheaped out on a lower end CPU after 6 months the phones going to be a nightmare to use daily. [/quote] It's a [color=#000080]Qualcomm Snapdragon 410, 1.2 GHz Quad Core[/color]

Ta!

Really not sure, as have the mother in law over for a visit, but may have some things to donate to the raffle.

Set up master class. Along the lines of, people turn up with their own basses and tools, and someone takes the class through setting up their own bass.

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1435926898' post='2813683'] Decided to go back to the simplicity of the wonderful Tec Amp PUMA. Ordered the 900 watt (4 ohms). Ten minutes later the dawning. My two Berg AE112 cabs are only 300 watt apiece, so obviously 6oo watts in total . Any ideas that don't end in buying more bloody gear? Yours, embarrassed muppet of Wigan. [/quote] I'm wanting to hear more about the Puma! I had a play with one at the Herts bash, and thought it was awesome.

[quote name='D'AddarioUK' timestamp='1435928431' post='2813709'] It's a bit simpler to use if you opt to base your calculations on an existing set of D'Addario strings. When you say the bass has an extra two frets for drop tuning do you mean to say that the E string is a different scale length to the rest of the bass? [/quote] Hi the E is the same, open D is different. Like the Kubicki ex- Factors. I'll give it another go.

[quote name='D'AddarioUK' timestamp='1435910237' post='2813439'] We have a great tool on our website for working out string tensions at various gauges, scale lengths and tunings [url="http://www.stringtensionpro.com"]www.stringtensionpro.com[/url]. This tool can be very useful in comparing the tension and "feel" of different sets on different instrument setups. [/quote] Hi, I tried using that, but got stumped with the gauge/tension options. My bass is 32inch but with an extra 2 frets on the E string for drop D tuning.

Thanks for the replies!

[quote name='PlungerModerno' timestamp='1435822066' post='2812643'] Had to do a search for this - Here's one I like and want! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/263645-nbd-relayer-bass-0002/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] Davis Custom Guitars, courtesy of TomRichard on here! [/quote] They look interesting. I wonder if there are any in the UK yet?

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1435778866' post='2812414'] Zon? [/quote] Which one? I've just been on their website but could not find one.

Will using lighter strings on a short scale bass give more bottom end, due to the increased tension? Ta.

Apart from my own custom Shuker, and Kubicki's (who I got the idea from) are there any other bases which have an extra 2 frets above the nut, for an open D?

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1435302126' post='2807350'] Great! But is MacD's Icini a Status? [/quote] No, it's a Shuker.

I know ultimately it's about using my ears, but i need a ballpark to work from (so to speak) So what do I need for a good tapping sound on bass (Billy Sheehan, Van Halen type tapping) ? Boosts in the mids or trebles? Compression? If so what settings? Thanks.
