Heres my Rick, I'd love a black TRC but I'm not forking out £50 for one !
Well worth putting a Hipshot bridge on though.

Best described as pulsating backwards and forwards

I'll check the FX too

Cheers Ade

Right not sure how to describe the problem . . . .

I have my bass D.I'd into our PA as well as the rest of the band

The problem is when I play it sounds as though my backline is fighting with the PA
and I sound a little out of tune too (I'm not i've checked) !

Turning my backline down helps but then I cant hear myself as well.

Any ideas?

Your not wrong, everyone has been taking the piss over at this thread

I AM LEFTY

I PLAY RIGHTY

The Tech 21 VT is superb, the guitarist in my band has one as he plays bass too and I have used and fiddled
with his for a whole practice session. VERY versatile plenty of mids to play with.

Better than the Sansamp Bass Driver as you tend to get a bit lost in the mix if you not careful.

Thats my two penneth = [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr8kdWpB3U4&feature=related"]TECH 21 VT Bass[/url]

You might have to wait a while for for a fish on a bike, selling rocking horse sh*te to offer you a Ric Blackstar !
. . and have deep pockets too !

You'd be better off buying a used Jetglo 4003, a Black scratchplate, add a Hipshot bridge cos' they are fantastic and sending your truss rod cover off to Rickenbacker for an exchange.

Then you'd have pretty sexy looking beast for a lot less money and be happy to use and play.

. . . now let the Blackstar go . . . . . LET IT GO !

I was watching that one on ebay ! (it is the one off Evilbay isnt it?)
Fantastic colour, only second to Jetglo

Have a look at Hipshot :

I've got one of their Rickenbacker replacements on my Ric and it is superb, well made
bags of sustain and infinite adjustement ! Niiice

No you cant, there are two speaker outs as most standard amps

Now stop asking questions and buy it before I do
They sound fantastic and as long as your running 4 ohms its plenty loud enough

£300 is a hoofing bargain ( I paid £450 used )

Tech 21 all the way !

I bough my Landmark 300 off Cetera as he now uses the 600 version
They sound amazing, two switchable channels, light grit and distortion is superb
I had tons of comments when I used it

There was a chap on here ( Col ) selling a FULL Tech 21 stack for not a lot !

[b]barux haba![/b] (Hebrew for Welcome) did you say you were Jewish?

[quote name='Forcemaster' post='228153' date='Jun 27 2008, 04:41 PM']Close to you actually! I live in Burton Latimer nr Kettering, Northamptonshire.

Anyone is more than welcome to have a try.[/quote]

I thought I recognised your gear, I saw you play at the White Hart in Corby with Aberration, my daughter Zoe was their original bassist
[u]YOU[/u] were very good it just a shame that the two guitarists can't us a little self restraint ! They were painfully loud and they alway have been !

I've got a Markbass 4x10 HF cab at the moment and find it a bit big for what I'm doing. Are you sorted with a new cab or it it something you might want to try?

Cheers Ade

Where are you based?

Yes

[quote name='johnnylager' post='204134' date='May 22 2008, 11:04 AM']Then there's the mechanics of screwdriver verses scratchable finish on bass.... [/quote]

You are assuming that a screwdriver was actually used it would normally be a knife from the cutlery drawer in my house !

Yip Mart is a top bloke if you can get a word in edgeways !
Coffee, chat and bass = what more could you want !

The Lakland was a top bass, just as Mart described it !

No thunder taken, my BG is now sold !

Tech 21 blurb . . . .

The tower of power pumping through a stack of 10-inchers is the legendary bass tone for players who enjoy being heard. From chunky funk with the ubiquitous flip top, to the higher gain growl of indie rock. Still need more? Lean on the Character control for the fat distortion of Crimson and King’s X. It all sounds massive DI. Clean SVT® thump to dirty earthquaking rump, you dial it in.

SOLD ! to Bigwan subject to the usual !

Does anyone know anything about the Michael Anthony signature bass?
and how much they are worth on the second hand market?
or is anyone looking for one?

I'll check if its the Black or Green one
