  1. [quote name='51m0n' post='604162' date='Sep 21 2009, 12:25 AM']Heil PR40 Its the absolute nads.[/quote] That and the EV RE-20 are the only two mics I would ever need...seriously!
  2. [quote name='velvetkevorkian' post='603738' date='Sep 20 2009, 05:41 PM']That's the one. Can't comment on the sound to be honest, worked at the time anyway- although I recall not having the proper mount for it and having to gaffa tape it quite severely. Like I say, a bit of a short notice botch job [/quote] I can't imagine they're too bad live on a bass cab if you're going through a big PA; in the studio, I personally wouldn't be able to find a use for one anywhere. As I say, I don't even like the sound of them on kick drums. Then again, I can understand why people do. They just don't fit with my kinda music (straightahead jazz...16" high-tuned Gretsch kick etc. you know the drill). I guess with a big ol' rock kit and a 22" bass drum, they'll sound great...which is understandably why they've been industry standard for a fair while. Again, for a kick drum, I'd go back to the EV RE-20 again, one of my personal favourites (as you've probably guessed). Maybe even a Sennheiser MD 421, they give a nice 'pop' which is what I like to here from the kick. If I was helping someone on a budget, an SM57 should do the job on the kick drum Quite sad isn't it? A 16 year old obsessed with recording already...
  3. Could you PM me an idea of price. I don't like to make offers without any guidelines...
  4. [quote name='velvetkevorkian' post='603177' date='Sep 19 2009, 09:54 PM']The only time I've recorded DB we used an AKG kick mic (D550, something like that? The dead common one).[/quote] The AKG D112? I don't even like the sound of them on kick drums... If you're mic'ing the bass and an amp then don't fall for the 'bass specific microphones sound best on bass amps' adage. If you've got a DI line or the bass is mic'ed you can get away with a dynamic mic on the speaker you just need something to get the mids and highs from the speaker cones, something like an EV RE20, Neumann BCM705 or a Heil PR30. They'll all sound great on a bass speaker combined with a DI from a good quality pickup. Just experiment until you find a sound you like. Everyone's tastes are different.
  5. Pharaoh Echo Jr?
  6. Trade the phaser for Danelectro Reel Echo?
  7. I can offer you a Danelectro Reel Echo for either of them??
  8. Are you interested in a trade for a Danelectro Reel Echo for the Holy Fire? I can add cash if needs be...
  9. [quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='603185' date='Sep 19 2009, 10:18 PM']£50 and i'll take the cab can we nagotiat? I really want both but don't have £200, not close could push £150 for both but i think you would like more, my main interest is that cab £50 for it, £75????[/quote] Do you realise he's only selling the cab? Did you even read the original post? "I'm thinking of offers around £200ish for just the cab"
  10. [quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='603124' date='Sep 19 2009, 08:28 PM']get Bartolini higher cost models can't go wrong with Bartolinis one of the best Bass pickup makers out there[/quote] I disagree about the Barts. I think the Q tuners and Nordstrands are better quality than Bartolini. In fact, there's probably other better quality pickups.
  11. [quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='591132' date='Sep 6 2009, 12:35 AM']is this still for sale?[/quote] That made me laugh alot for some reason.
  12. Ah, shame. Let me know if it's still about.
  13. I'd suggest blending DI, a mic'd amp and a mic on the bass, you can adjust these levels to get a sound you like. In terms of mics, I'd recommend the Electrovoice RE20 on the amp and an Earthworks P30 on the bass. As for a DI, just find something that works for you. The Presonus and Radial gear is pretty good. A dynamic mic would probably be ok on the amp but play around with placement to get a good sound, don't point it right at the centre of the cone. In terms of mic placement for the bass mic, a dynamic wouldn't work here. The double bass is likely to move about a fair bit so the sound a dynamic picks up would be very uneven, hence why I suggested the Earthworks.
  14. [quote name='marcus bell' post='602444' date='Sep 18 2009, 07:06 PM']bump? x[/quote] 4 hourly bumping? Hmmm...
  15. I so want to play that fretless jazz .
  16. I think £100 is a great price for a quality squier. I reckon you could get more for it.
  17. That Coronado is beautiful. Can I ask why you're selling up?
  18. Thanks for the reply. How do you suggest I contact them, do you have a number/email address?
  19. I think you'll struggle to get your £40 in my opinion.
  20. Whatever it is, I'm happy to keep passing it on. I think that's a great idea. Anybody else fancy a look at it?
  21. Hi guys, I'm looking for a double bass teacher based in/around Leeds. Although jazz is my passion, I want to learn to play classical music and specifically learn about arco technique. Does anyone know of any teachers? Cheers, AJ
  22. I'll take it please? PM me with details.
  23. I'm interested...any more pics with better light showing the whole bass?
  24. Are you interested in a Danelectro Reel Echo?
  25. Could you PM me your best price on this? I could meet you up Rotherham rail station if that's any good.
