[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1339325724' post='1686750'] And... if anyone knows what effect(s) the bass player (Commerford?) is using, I'd be grateful... [/quote] Getting back to the point, this kid gets a pretty good tone. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtTpc-MvkiI[/media]

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1339325934' post='1686753'] No way! The drummer smells. [/quote] They all do, don't they? Is that why they did the video on the top of a building? Plenty of ventilation!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1339325724' post='1686750'] Cochise by Audioslave. Learning it as an opener for our set. EPIC! Not sure where we're going to get all the bloody fireworks from, though. [/quote] Don't forget to do the group hug.

20 years ago today Angel Dust was released: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPuNLlhrLT0[/media] I also remember this performance very well (I was doing naughty things to the girlfriend when this was on): [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfjUwuQFmvw[/media]

My band keep taking about getting 2nd guitarist. It always was a 5 piece until I joined (the other guitarist left just before I joined). I prefer 4 piece, but I'll give it a go with another one. If I don't enjoy it I'll leave the band.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1339137038' post='1684105'] I think a splitter/summer that has multiple outs/ins with a filter on each out. So for example, if it had 3 outs, you could have the 1st out so it just sends lows (stuff below 150hz), the 2nd sending at @ 3-400hz & the 3rd sending the higher stuff (all filters adjustable with just one or two dials) so you can put different effects on each & then sum them back together within the said pedal. Each "in" with a level control to balance them up & maybe the ability to invert the phase on each one too. [/quote] So a nice simple pedal? I like it!

[quote name='leftyhook' timestamp='1339114677' post='1684067'] Are they so great and trustworthy, and [i]consistent[/i], that you would happily purchase one new without trying it? [/quote] I bought my Steve Harris sig new and untried. As far as I can tell it's fine. It is a Japanese made Fender though, not sure I'd buy an American or Mexican made one unplayed.

Finally got around to taking a photo of my set up and a bass (all acquired from BassChat):

If I had the money I'd be interested too!

I bought some cheapy ones off eBay. Black neoprene covered fingers, 2 screws into the wall. Think I paid £11 for 6. They've been up for 2 years or so, no problems.

Very very nice!!

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1338022161' post='1668667'] Here's my new rig, Markbass TTE500 head and two NY151RJ cabs. Tube pre, tube compressor, tube eq, analog power supply. Very loud, and very tubey! [/quote] So that's what you sold the Ashdown stuff for? Very nice!!

Yep, I too have bought loads off them. I always get them to price match (usually against Thomann).

[quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1337763575' post='1664950'] Checkout 'bob log III' mate. That should open your eyes to what can be done in a very interesting and super cool manner. Met the guy at the charlotte once. Absolute legend! [/quote] Bob Log III, I'd forgotten about him. Seen him a few times live. Brilliant! Also Le Petite Vodo does the same sort of thing. [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1337763714' post='1664954'] Why not? It worked for Sisters of Mercy and Carter USM. Better than a drummer too, in that you only need to punch the information into the drum machine once [/quote] He's not talking about only using a drum machine in the normal sense. He wants to trigger stuff live.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1337614820' post='1662822'] I'm from Cwmbran myself but have been away from there 25 years now so its probably changed a bit. [/quote] I don't think it has... Oh, and welcome to the newbies!

I ordered online too, but as it was shipped from Bristol that's where the central customer services diverted my call to. I explained that it was the 2nd one that had failed, I don't want a replacement as I don't trust them and they had nothing in stock suitable at that price point. I also mentioned there were a number of threads on internet forums from people with similar issues and it's was probably a widespread problem. The manager was happy about that and refunded the money there and then.

[quote name='police squad' timestamp='1337612625' post='1662759'] a quick and crap update, Tried it in the studio, running two mark bass cabs into 4 ohms, same problem after about 5 minutes. Digital village won't swap it because it's outside of their 30 day plan. could take 2-4 weeks to fix. That is crap customer support/service. what I have learned is that I won't be using digital village again!! [/quote] Really? They refunded my amp no problems, and it was 6 months old. It was the 2nd PF-500 I'd had. I dealt directly with the store who shipped it to me, which was Bristol. The decision to refund, or not, lies with the store manager.

When I use a plectrum it's the yellow Tortex ones. I can't remember what gauge that is though... EDIT: .73mm

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1337536674' post='1661585'] Which version is this on dude? [/quote] The new one.
