Hi folks Been in the studio recently with one of my bands... here's a tune from it, which is pretty rocky for me. Recorded on my fretless P. I wasn't around for the mix, so I couldn't fight it's corner. it speeds up like a bugger, but we decided to free this one from the tyranny of the click, because of the nature of the tune. I think it works... [url="http://soundcloud.com/wateroftyne/hm"]http://soundcloud.com/wateroftyne/hm[/url] And here's a sampler of some other tunes...

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1322087494' post='1446488'] For me the feel of Bass Chat has certainly changed in recent times and not for the better. Ironically I guess it's due to it's success and growth. [/quote] To be fair, there's a thread along these lines every year or so.

if you want controversial tittle-tattle, there's always the Daily Mail.

If you discount a bass because of how it plays, without taking into account a decent setup.. you might miss 'the one'.

From a PM exchange this afternoon: [quote]I used to be called Howard the bass player until folks heard me play. Now i'm just Howard.[/quote]

Disney music? Soul-less? Never! The Princess and the Frog, anyone? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbAW_x177lo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbAW_x177lo[/url]

[quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1322036828' post='1445588'] Tried that and still not working. With Firefox everything works fine but not with Chrome, I can't even reply to posts [/quote] Hmmm... time to start disabling toolbars and plugins, I think. Failing that.. reinstall...

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1322036034' post='1445577'] I saw Genesis supporting Lindisfarne at Birmingham Town Hall but top of the bill were Van Der Graaf Generator. [/quote] Ah, the Six-Bob Tour. I wish i'd been around in those heady days...

Fine here too. [url="http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95582"]Clearing your temporary files[/url] may well sort it.

Lovin' it. :-) Cheers, BC gods!

I did a couple of EUB gigs with my Promethean, and it was great. Clear, no mud, and a little kick-stand so I could angle it toward me.

I love the Streamliner to bits, but there's a bit of chat in the megathread on Talkbass suggesting it's not the best match for the AE212...

Didn't you used to have one? Or did I imagine it?

[quote name='bassman2790' timestamp='1321692963' post='1441939'] I've taken the plunge and ordered mine [/quote] Good man! The only bad reports I can think of are from a couple of people who got faulty units, which is understandable. When you get yours, give it a good check over. I'm sure it'll be fine. ...and you're in for a treat. They're marvellous.

[quote name='daz' timestamp='1321695498' post='1441967'] When you [i]pay[/i] for MP3's, your rockin with 'The Man' ! [/quote] Ah, the man. Damn the man.. giving money to people to make records and that.

*thumbs up* As GW suggests, do a search 'cos there's quite a lot of love for them on BC.

Voted...

Eden got away with charging $1400 for it... [url="http://www.eden-electronics.com/products/discontinued/e300t.aspx"]http://www.eden-electronics.com/products/discontinued/e300t.aspx[/url]

I've gigged with him a lot. He's a lovely lad, and a hell of a fiddle player. Vinnie on kit, too. I'm very jealous. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HjsmIlUTZc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HjsmIlUTZc[/url] Good on him.. he's worked hard and deserves it...

AFAIK, the MPulse 360 is a scaled-down MPulse 600 - have a look on Talkbass, there's a fair bit of tonal comparison between the Walkabout and the 600 on there. I've owned the 600 and the Walkabout. I preferred the Walkabout, as it had inherently stronger mids IME, but they're both great, great heads. The Walkabout has its' flaws - no mute, hopelessly impractical post-everything DI, no speakons, but the main problem with it is... it's stupidly, stupidly, expensive. Like.. stupidly. Anyway, I've ended up with the Genz Streamliner, which IME has a real Mesa Simul-statey thing going on, and it punches like the MESA heads do. A lot cheaper, and a lot lighter. Something to think about...

I'm such a better player after watching that. Thanks!

[quote name='jonthebass' timestamp='1321538770' post='1440335'] They are matched well it's just the single coil J I'm not happy with. I really am in 2 minds as to whether to tamper with it at all... [/quote] You mean when it's solo'd? Tamper with it. What's the point of having a bass you're not happy with?
