I've got a Johnson. J Station that is. I've had it a while but not got around to using it until recently. I'm loving it so far. Theyre quite cheap if you see them on ebay, and although the forums haven't been used for a couple of years, there are still plenty of patches available for download.

[quote name='mart' timestamp='1352744659' post='1866924'] Who would thank their dad for, say, the sort of 80s bass that you couldn't play except in a Wham tribute band? [/quote] me! [quote name='mart' timestamp='1352744659' post='1866924'] And I really think getting something that's very 2013 would be a disaster. [/quote] but getting something 2013 is kind of the point. BTW it's 'Wham!'

[quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1352669180' post='1865983'] Gotta be something unique to 2013 - some kinda ltd run us jazz / p bass / stingray if one pops up next yr. [/quote] would agree with this. and congrats!

My Shuker, not so much custom as couture

turning both knobs almost full on seems to do something nice. I'm gonna be using my J-Station for bass and guitar soon, so may start another thread 'my compressor has 4 knobs!'.

Sounds like the beginning of a joke, "so Prince, Stevie Wonder and Larry Graham walk in to a bar..." when did it happen?

still waiting for pics!

another no here. Heavier the better for me for tone and feel

[quote name='Prunesquallor' timestamp='1350984069' post='1845745'] Really? What did he modify? Did you get it directly from him? I've heard he's a nice enough guy. [/quote] TVM 600 head in the combo upgraded on the treble to give an extra 6db of boost at 11khz, 600w RMS @ 2ohm. Combo runs at 4ohms. I got it from the Bass Merchant when Mike (Zoot) was still running it.

[quote name='Blackbird88' timestamp='1350860111' post='1844495'] I don't think we're lacking in bass heroes as such, in fact Chris Wolstenholme of Muse and Fieldy of Korn spring to mind, [/quote] Muse and Korn have been around for a fair few years. There are still plenty of bass heroes around, but name a new one from the last 5 years?

i've posted this before, but I own one of his former combo's my modified TechSoundsystems TVM 600 2x12

In Guy Pratt's book he mentions muso ads before punk: ~ guitarist not on a heavy trip wanted ~ and after punk: ~ guitarist wanted, no beards ~ the on I likeD was: ~ vocalist wanted, must have own van and PA ~

IMO it's because there are no 'characters' on bass in the newer bands, to inspire kids to take up the bass.

if west London manages to avoid flooding, should be a gun 'un!

if we were not gigging tonight I would have jumped on the 85 and been there.

cheers for replies, I will take the advice to heart and give it a go. Except for selling it

Having been reliably informed that if using a 1 knob compressor 'you're f****d', and that if using a 2 knob compressor 'you're still f*****d', it doesn't change the fact that my compressor only has 2 knobs That been the case I would still like to know how to get the best out of it. Any advice?
