It's more ugly than an actual Rick! Like the demon offspring....

When playing a wedding, never refuse a kiss from the appreciative bride. Esp when they're fit.

You might want to look at [url="http://www.earthterminal.co.uk/"]Earth Terminal [/url]near Farnham. It's in an oast house in the middle of the countryside but near Jct 5 of the M3 (Odiham). Some famous songs have been recorded there. Only ever rehearsed there but it had a nice feeling about the place.

[quote name='Astronomer' post='250047' date='Jul 28 2008, 10:57 PM']stingrayfan - Thank you, that's a very kind offer. But... erm... No. [/quote] Oh well, it was worth a try... Joking aside, have you looked at the new Trace combos. With your budget you could easily afford one. Not heard any reviews good or bad about them, but I know they offer a lot of power for a relatively small size.

Silverfox - I might be able to make this after all. Got to be at the outlaws in the PM but could do a drive-by in the morning. Not sure what gear I can bring as I'll be en-route to East Anglia but might be able to bring a G&L Tribute if anyone wants to have a go. Maybe my Trace head too?

You can have the 25 year old Trace combo in my garage for £1k. When do you want to come and pick it up?

Bassists are a bit strange. Well we must be - we're the only ones in the band who know how to get to the gig, bring all the bits we need, remember to print a setlist (and spares) etc!

[quote name='BassKS' post='245918' date='Jul 23 2008, 11:06 AM']I took the bass to a band practise and the drummer couldnt hear me. I couldnt hear me either.... I put it down to low output pickups and am seriously looking for an upgrade.[/quote] Not sure changing the pickups will immediately solve it. My P bass has got modded pickups but I find it still doesn't have the bite that an active bass does. You might be better off trying out a pre-amp pedal like an Aphex Bass Xciter or a SansAmp which will make the sound hotter.

Nice cab WoT - but spill the beans - how pricey was it?

[quote name='thebeat' post='248211' date='Jul 26 2008, 12:57 AM']Been browsing Talkbass for want of something better to do and have noticed that they have twee little clubs for everything from Rickenbackers to tatoos. It's like everyone has to start a club or they're no-one [/quote] All a bit cliquey for my liking. You can bet that those who own the best basses and belong to the most clubs have never done a gig for anyone else but their "Mom".

It's like the bass equivalent of stone-cladding.

"Grab yourself a bargain..." must be the most overused phrase on Ebay.

Sounds like someone playing a ZX Spectrum.
