Bankai

[quote name='topo morto' post='1332972' date='Aug 8 2011, 11:37 PM']And I still want to know if you bothered muting the strings other than the one you're tuning...[/quote] I find that pretty insulting tbh.

[quote name='Truckstop' post='1324080' date='Aug 2 2011, 12:13 PM']Well, Bankai did suggest that the Epiphone he used for the shootout has a lower frequency response than others. So maybe that's why he had trouble tuning the B? Truckstop[/quote] Yes, the guitar you're using would inevitably be having some effect. I purposefully chose a 5 string thunderbird as it'd be the hardest bass for a tuner.

From the money you'd get for selling the AD200, you'd have enough to buy this: [url="http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_amps_detail.asp?stock=11072013552688b6"]http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_amps_de...1072013552688b6[/url] Tastes good...

A Jazz can definitely be made to cut through, more so than a Precision I'd say.

Thunderbirds usually go for about £700-800 depending on condition. I'd say that you should look around that maybe?

In my opinion, buy second hand. But if you want to be buying new, then this is probably the best deal! [url="http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_amps_detail.asp?stock=11072013552688b6"]http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_amps_de...1072013552688b6[/url]

ON that note, perhaps consider a TC Electronics rig? They're doing buy one get one free on their cabs atm with one of their heads!

For that price I think you could find something much better! I'd suggest looking at a second hand 410, 610 or even 810 off of here and then a head to match!

I've been working with touring bands for a while so have got an idea of what works, and what doesn't. If you're looking at a microphone without a budget, then a Shure KSM9 is very good. If you're looking for a microphone around the same price as an SM58, then I'd instead suggest a Sennheiser e840 or alternatively a Shure Beta 58.

[quote name='Musicman20' post='1314633' date='Jul 24 2011, 12:04 PM']It's more like a 'treble sheen' control.[/quote] Bi-winni... sorry I mean bi-amping?

To put it simply, an American Special is the same as a Mex, just made in a USA factory. On another note, looking at the Standard versus the Deluxe, the Deluxe is only an extra £200 but the extra stuff you get as part of the bass definitely makes it worth it. A Standard is THE Precision, but the Deluxe is that and so much more.

LB is 30.

[quote name='Evil Undead' post='1311083' date='Jul 21 2011, 06:55 AM']Can you afford it and/or do you need a backup?[/quote] Just about and no I already have a USA Precision, MIM Jazz, Epi Pro Thunderbird, SR Precision and a Shine 845!

I've loved the look of a Thunderbird for a long time, and I think System of Down and the Darkness had something to do with that... But a few months ago I bought an Epiphone Pro to see if I actually liked playing one and I certainly do. So now I have that assurance in my mind, I want to get the proper Gibson version. However I don't particularly like Sunburst! But I really, really, really like the white finish. The one they don't make anymore.... Eventually I'll find one secondhand. Eventually...

I once played with a bassist who had one of these. I liked it, but that was back before I started bass. I'd be interested to hear one, it's a shame they don't make them anymore!

We've just taken a bass in as a part exchange. It's a early 2000's Fender MIM Jazz. Nothing special, except for the fact it's Sage Green. What is this? I don't even... I already have exactly the same, but in a different colour. But something draws me to this. I didn't even know they made them in this finish!
