  1. Enjoy your stay in Crete! It's not that hot now in September! Definitely visit the mountains and the villages there, eat as much fried Graviera as you can and be careful not to over do it with Tsikoudia! An if you get near Chania the best beach to go is Falassarna and Elafonisi
  2. When flea plays simple, people say that he has grown old and forgot to groove When flea plays a little more, people say that he plays too much! The chili peppers are the only rock band that I could watch live every day, every show has something new to it with lots of improvisation! That is their philosophy and that is why their true fans love them! And don't forget that flea is not a bass player! He is a trumpet player! His hands play bass but his mind playes the trompet! His own words!
  3. John Frusciante was really pissed of from the beginning of the show because there was a problem with his pedal board. They had to stop and restart Can't Stop twice!
  4. Nice one mate! I'm glad you finally found that mojo you've been looking for!!
  5. [quote name='G-bitch' post='40415' date='Aug 2 2007, 02:37 PM']You will forever be at the mercy of the soundman! (Unless he's got the decency to mic you up)[/quote] Thas is way a serious band needs to have its own sound guy! I know that it rises up the cost but you have your own sound!
  6. The odb-3 sounds crap if you don't have an amp with a tweeter speaker! But if you do nothing beats its bottom end high distortion sound! I've tried many bootique and other distortion and overdrive pedals the previous 3 months (ebs, t-rex, fulltone, sansamp, ibanez) and I've ended up on keeping the ebs multidrive for mellow and low gain tube like overdrive (AMAZING pedal for the job) and the boss odb-3 for heavy distortion sounds(Muse like, or Around the World like) because no pedal from the above list can go there! It also depends on what kind of bass you play! I only like the sound of the odb with my stingray! When I play with my Jazz and Rick I prefer the EBS due to the different gain and sound of the single coils! But as tayste pointed out it really is up to the amp you use! I play with a gallien krueger 400rb and 2 mesa boogie cabs! But when I connect my pedalboard to my little Roland Cube 30 at home on low volumes you can't really tell the difference!
  7. That used to be mine! Good luck with the sale!
  8. I had an AKAI headrush which broke down. I replaced it with the E2 but I liked the sound of the first one better. I am currently after one too, there are a couple of auctions on ebay right now.
  9. I am looking for a Double Bass to begin with. What sould someone look at when buying a Double Bass? My budget is around £1000, can I get something to start playing with my budget? What about these in Thomann:?

P.S. What is the difference from 4/4 and 3/4 basses? Size?
  10. [quote name='MB1' post='28698' date='Jul 8 2007, 08:34 PM']MB1. Theres a synth player that stands behind the amps?......thats a bit much dont you think?......body odour or halitosis?.....or do they just not like him?[/quote] The synth player is Chad Smiths drum tech and he doesn't want to be on stage. He plays on Snow and a couple of other songs. And here is flea's pedal board for the stadium arcadium tour. And his amps And his bass tech:

  12. Thanks people! Where can I find a Tech Sounsystems cab? Any online store?
  13. I am looking to purchase a new 4x10 cab. I will plug it to my Gallien Krueger 400rb and also I have plans of purchasing an Ampeg V4BH. My budget is around 500-600 pounds. Any suggestions?
  14. Bump! Remember [b]£570 [/b]delivered, also open to trade offers...
  15. Ampeg SVX! If you have a near zero latency card and if you spend 5 mins to set up the volums right you can get amazing sounds out of it!
  16. [quote name='acidbass' post='15984' date='Jun 12 2007, 01:39 AM']Wow, that sounds like good service! How did you put it when you wanted to return it? Was there a fault with the instrument or did you just not like it?[/quote] Just told them that I wanted to return it! No questions asked! I really didn't liked the quallity of it, the neck felt like a squier cheapo!
  17. I've purchased many things from there! Great service! The last time I bought an American Precision which sucked and I've send them an email that I want to return it and they arranged the whole thing and UPS drop by my place and pick it up and when it arrived back to musicstore I got a full refund!
  18. I found this one [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rickenbacker-4003-tuxedo-bass-1987-Nudeswirl_W0QQitemZ190120262729QQihZ009QQcategoryZ4713QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rickenbacker-4003-tu...VQQcmdZViewItem[/url] But why the heck did he striped down a rare bass like this! With the cream finish and the maple fingerboard it would be my dream come true!!
  19. First time I see a Ric with a maple fingerboard!! Have anybody else seen one? Are they rare?
  20. Everytime I see a cream Ric it grows my GAS for getting one even bigger!!!
  21. +1 for the akai headrush! Great delay too!!
  22. Bicycle boxes are excellent for the job! And if they are larger than needed you can easily cut them in size!
  23. Ear training!! Thats where all starts from!!
