[quote name='deaver' post='491727' date='May 18 2009, 07:00 PM']Cheers. It's definitely something different, I'll try and get some more photos up soon. The credit really has to go to Bassassin for finding this though, it just happened to be near enough to me to collect. I don't know how long I'll hold on to it, hopefully they'll be a bass bash to bring it to soon - it's well worth a look.[/quote] That'd be good.. Look forward to it when there's a Bash and if you still have it (which hopefully you will)...

Very cool looking pair of basses!

That looks fantastic! Congratulations on picking up something a little different from the usual....

[quote name='mcc' post='490308' date='May 17 2009, 01:47 AM']Man, I cant even imagine spending 4k on a bass.... imagine hitting it against something in a gig.... you are planing on giggin it, right? Just how much can a bass improve over £800. From your list of gear you are probably fairly aware on what all those basses do and don't do for you, so just try as many instruments as you can without looking at the price tag and get the one that fulfills your requirements.... who knows, maybe it is an old battered squire and you will have about £3800 to spare.[/quote] That's like the story about Geddy Lee... His favourite bass, in amongst the hundreds he has, is a $200 J-bass that he bought in a pawn shop somewhere in the States.. And apparently, he even tried to knock the dealer down on price for that!

[quote name='steve-soar' post='489175' date='May 15 2009, 06:31 PM']Still not a good enough reason to keep the "Jamster" on the forum.[/quote] Agreed!

With a rig and bases like that, plus your other half looking like she does, you should be banned from this site immediately!

It's probably true that almost all producers and engineers will compress a bass signal when recording it or when mixing it, so if it makes sense to use compression then, why not at at other times too...?

Excellent news!

If you can find one, the DBX MC6 is an absolutely brilliant unit but it's neither a footpedal or a rack unit..

[quote name='chargrilled' post='482059' date='May 7 2009, 03:09 PM']Hello! I need an all round bass for recording which does rock, nu metal all the way down to gentler indie/ folkie stuff - maybe this is too much to ask for but what do people think would be better out of the Yamaha BB415 and the Warwick Rockbass Corvette for these purposes? Many thanks in advance[/quote] They're very different basses having played them both and owned the BB615 (active version of 415).. In particular, the neck width and string spacing is very different, so I think you would need to take those things into account when making a decision of this sort.. Personally, I prefered the Yamaha but that's because of the wider neck and string spacing. You might try them out and feel the exact opposite, but that's what makes this so subjective, as we all have very different tastes.. Good luck with it!

That's a really interesting looking bass! I like the mix of modern styling with the retro look of the woods....
