I like the way it has the holes in the p/g for the thumbrest and pickup cover, although it's not actually screwed into the body but i suppose they have to keep costs down and all that.

Bit of a shock as only 3 weeks ago we;d agreed to start gigging and I booked our first gig. This is now my 3rd band, and each one has died a death before it's gotten up and running properly. Is it me? Or am I just cursed? Should I sack off doing originals and join a nice covers band instead??[/quote] Not really. EH hasn't managed to be in a decent band for 3 years which got anywhere near doing a gig.

[quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='802819' date='Apr 11 2010, 05:56 PM']Thats not what i mean, good quality gear is ime more reliable, plays better & sounds better![/quote] Tell me about it, this cheapo peavey bass sounds crap and buzzes like a mofo:

[quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='802806' date='Apr 11 2010, 05:44 PM']plus i do music almost full time so there as much tools as they are for pleasure.[/quote] True although i think if you can afford it there is no reason anybody should feel they have to be a professional in order to have a nice setup.

[quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='802797' date='Apr 11 2010, 05:32 PM']Its all about saving and working part time since i was 16.[/quote] Oh well there you go. I really should get a job. Maybe wait till uni

^you're definetly doing pretty well for 19 lolz.

looks like twill be great.

very nice, erm "metal"?

Hmm dunno if i'm so keen on the idea of a JH guitar design on a bass?

nice. Real nice.

Hmmm, Hull, tomorrow night? I might go, if i can be arsed.

Nice looking bass, i thought of getting one. This should possibly be moved to reviews though.

EH reckons the LTD surveyor would be a bit better, just because it's a bit different. Also you've already got an MIM jazz, why not get something else to go with it?

[quote name='KERMITNT' post='797215' date='Apr 6 2010, 09:12 AM']i think i need a new soundcard do you have something in mind?[/quote] get something with a digital input like s/pdif so you can plug your amp into it. It would help if we knew what your budget was though.

[quote name='Rich' post='796874' date='Apr 5 2010, 07:45 PM']Is it not salvageable? What's under the paint?[/quote] is this a question about EHs bass? Well if so it probably would be fine for me to do it again but to be honest it probably wouldn't end up much better.

[quote name='s1ater' post='796350' date='Apr 5 2010, 10:50 AM']I have those monitors, and bang for buck they are rather good. Are you going to be mixing tracks?[/quote] most likely yes.

MDD that is a very nice looking bass indeed! I'm not just saying that either. That is really nice. I want one.

GAS free, and i bet you actually believed yourself! Liking the matching headstock.

I don't mean to alarm you but your bass headstock appears to be broken.

[quote name='Rimskidog' post='795117' date='Apr 3 2010, 04:24 PM']It sounds like you need to work on your gainstaging (google is your friend) but if you are getting what you want out of the shorter route why do anything else[/quote] +1 on that. I think there is little point if you like what you're hearing from the direct route. Have you tried using a VST program like voxengo boogex (I think that's what it's called) or something like that, i reckon some of them do okay impersinations of bass amps if you're not looking for anything too fancy for free. Also sorry if i'm being a bit condescending here or pointing out the obvious but with the digital output it does look like a normal microphone jack but it isn't. You need a soundcard with a digital input in this case a S/PDIF or AES/EBU input to use it.

[quote name='gafbass02' post='790218' date='Mar 30 2010, 07:57 AM']wow, thats, um, blue![/quote] I was going for that look like that bass player out of that morrisey video which i can't remember anything about but i thought the bass looked nice with the blue body and headstock but then i decided to go with black hardware to make it more modern. It looks okay in the photo but awful in real life.

[quote name='throwoff' post='792032' date='Mar 31 2010, 03:19 PM']??? what?[/quote] Sorry, i was just poking a bit of fun since you have shown us recently how much you appreciate historic basses.

[quote name='robdeadstereo' post='788376' date='Mar 28 2010, 11:04 AM']ive got some m-audio av 40's [url="http://www.maudio.co.uk/products/en_gb/StudiophileAV40.html"]http://www.maudio.co.uk/products/en_gb/StudiophileAV40.html[/url] , great monitors for the price ive found[/quote] thanks, but to be honest i'd rather avoid any M-Audio stuff from now on. Not really happy with their customer service. If i was going to go down the active monitor route i was thinking of getting something like these: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/alesis_m1_aktiv_monitor_mk_ii.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/alesis_m1_aktiv_monitor_mk_ii.htm[/url] which i know are more expensive then i said i had but if i'm getting speakers as well then i want them to be good quality, if that makes sense?

[quote name='silddx' post='785645' date='Mar 25 2010, 11:36 AM']Yeah, but who needs an amp when you have PODs and the like? [/quote] you can't make the earth shake with a POD tho let's face it.
