[quote name='charic' timestamp='1340707415' post='1708265'] Take the 'ray pre and put it in a pedal. Change to a John East and ask for an additional clean output (or stereo output with one side clean), merge the two signals in a box with a blend and ultimate 'ray sound How's that? [/quote] That's an awesome idea... and I did not see it...

[quote name='goblin' timestamp='1340670690' post='1708034'] All I want to do now is put gold on my fretless 'vette. Dammit!! Looks sweet man! [/quote] I'm not a fan of gold hardware really (unless it's a black Wal or Black SB Elite), but the bass just reminds me of an old sideboard that needed brass-ish handles, if you know what I mean...

[quote name='D-L-B' timestamp='1340663291' post='1707933'] Thanks for all the love, guys! We actually do have tees too!

[quote name='phil.i.stein' timestamp='1340656894' post='1707777'] no credit to me, their product speaks for itself. no matter how hard i try, i CANNOT get bored of this. [/quote] Listened to it a few times in work today. I now have 4 favourite bands that have/had BassChat members in...

Listened to about 35 seconds of this and bought it!

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1340567040' post='1706384'] Is this on iPlayer or something?... [/quote] I think only 2 songs were televised. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RHsrAszROo[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THgFV_kdhH4[/media]

What was he playing through though? The Marshall, Fender and Hi-Watt heads that were on the cabs or the Ashdown sat on the floor next to the cabs?

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1340497385' post='1705410'] Does it have the speaker emulating roll off like the VT? [/quote] Says it has Speaker Emulation:

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1340493366' post='1705360'] A square speaker? Would that even work? [/quote] Apparently

Ha, thanks. "Amazing job" might be a bit much though. The edge of the fretboard is knackered from too many knocks and chips (and a slip with a file ) But I shall take it to my next band rehearsal and give it a good thrashing.

Decided to take the plunge and re-fret it today. Had to order an 2nd load of fret wire from Banzai Music, as I've lost the first lot. Got a couple of frets to tap down and the ends need a touch more smoothing, but it plays nicely even though it's not been set up at all.

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1340303384' post='1702674'] Presumably where Yamaha got the headstock design for the original Blazer basses? [/quote] Ibanez.

Where as I had a MarkBass and didn't like how clinical is sounded, to my ears. Had a brief fling with an Ampeg PF-500, before getting a refund. Now I'm a proud owner of an Ashdown JJ-500, that sounds absolutely fantastic.

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1340197956' post='1700835'] Reason is very simple [/quote] Another vote for Reason. Reason Essentials is very reasonably priced too, £85: [url="http://www.propellerheads.se/products/reason/index.cfm?fuseaction=get_article&article=reason-essentials"]http://www.propellerheads.se/products/reason/index.cfm?fuseaction=get_article&article=reason-essentials[/url]

Was a very haphazard gig last night. We played for an old band member's 40th. In a small community centre, that used to be a chapel. Tiny stage, no monitors, vocal only PA and the drum kit took up most of the stage. Couldn't heard the guitarist nor the vocals only the snare and a crash cymbal, that was about 10" away from my right ear. We were a bit scrappy on the new songs but we went down well. On the up side I did get to play through an Ampeg 8x10" and found I didn't like it. So that's a relief to my wallet.

An EHX Small Stone is under £50

[quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1339533057' post='1690197'] Wow that looks fantastic! I can't help but wonder what it would look like with a black pick guard <3 [/quote] I was thinking it would look great with a chrome pickguard!

Shuker [s]Toiletseat[/s] Erm, Bongo Pretty much any bass BRX likes

"least favourite bassist" may have been a better title... EDIT: My least favourite are: Mark King Geddy Lee Chris Squier Adam Clayton

Rob Wight Les Claypool Mike Watt Tom Araya

Steve Harris JJ Burnel Mike Watt Les Claypool Rob Wright John Entwistle Justin Chancellor Chuck Dukowski Joe Lally Cliff Burton

I couldn't decide between a new laptop (I want one of the new MacBook Pros now) and a Shuker JJ. So I'm buying a house instead, killing GAS stone dead for the foreseeable future.
