  1. Lovely mate, looks the business. Congratulations! Think my next bass will be a custom jazz from Mark
  2. I had a LMII for 5 years. Loved it. As people have said, with 2 cabs, it never got pushed passed 11 oclock. It is a clean sound though. This isnt a bad thing for me, but its all down to taste. I swapped it about a year ago, just fancied a change. Since swapping it, ive gone through about 5 different amps. Think im just chasing the MB tones again. I have a SWR MM pre at the minute. I do love it. Soooooo many options. One of my favourite things about the LMII was i could get the sound i wanted very easily
  3. You wont regret it. The pickups are great. Well they are on my P, i havent played anyone elses so cant comment on them!
  4. Just bought a strap from Mike. No fuss, swift transaction, cheers mate!
  5. Is that 5% of the total number of children? Or 5% of the children who play music, play bass? Im guessing its 5% of the children who play a musical instrument, play bass? Not overly surprised at that.
  6. i mailed him about this a while ago too Marc. Have had no reply
  7. I play with my thumb for certain songs. I use my wrist to dampen the strings aswel. Kind of gives it a Double bass kinda feel. Or as close as I need to get it anyway. Definitely not a technique I use a lot, but useful to have in your arsenal
  8. Just like to say I'd highly recommend bike boxes for postage. Big red is spot on saying they are more sturdy and perfect for the job. Cheers again
  9. Awesome. Thanks mate I'll go to halfords now.
  10. I have. I can't find a guitar box anywhere, and my local music shop said they don't have any that would fit a bass, only a guitar. Apparently the stock turnover of basses is slow, so they haven't had any in for a while
  11. I'm packing a bass for postage today, and the box I have means I'll have to remove the neck. Do I need to loosen the truss rod or is there anything I should/shouldn't do? It's a ebmm clone. So it's truss rod is pickup side of the neck. Don't know if this makes a difference?
  12. In no particular order: Stuart Zender Anthony Wellington Dirk Lance Marcus Miller Jon Caulfield J.Jamerson Nathan East Nate Watts JPJ Matt Freeman (because hearing his playing was what inspired me to play bass)
  13. I dont know how you EQ your sound, but the setting i would suggest is to boost your low mids if you feel your missing "thump", and boost your high mids if your missing articulation of notes. Thats what i do, but admittedly, im no expert on sound! Another thing you could do is kick your keyboard player in the nuts and make sure his bass isnt boosted. This also works extremely well
  14. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as my band are taking about doing it, and i had the same problem as you. There is some bass when played live though. Have a look... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vzmZ57w158"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vzmZ57w158[/url]
  15. [quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1410260449' post='2547530'] Burgundy Mist 64 J Bass should be coming my way shortly... [/quote] Im glad, i was seriously tempted!!
  16. I havent had this too long, but its not having any use. I think a passive jazz would get more use from me. So saying that, any passive jazz trades are welcomed. Cash adjustments are fine too. Here is the original sale thread, as i think it says everything that needs saying. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/241562-sold-please-remove/page__p__2507154#entry2507154"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/241562-sold-please-remove/page__p__2507154#entry2507154[/url] Great bass for the money. Its not going to change the world, but i dont think you'll get much more bass for the price. The pickup is punchy, and the neck is great. Has a kind of birdseye maple effect on it. And i dont know if it matters to you, but it is a very good clone!!
  17. Jamiroquai. From "The return of the space cowboy", through to "travelling without moving". I like all his stuff, but those two were his pinnacle IMO. Would have LOVED to be the bass player in those songs
  18. It does. As does everyones advice. Im grateful for all the help.
  19. Thanks gents. I will look into all these points at our next practice. Yes our singer has a SM58, all of us do. I agree Barkin. I cant handle feedback. Like you, id prefer to turn down more, than risk getting it.
  20.
