Dood!

I likes my metal too I have to say though I'd been dragged away from the dark side into an indie band because my metal band failed, but things are on the up again! Hopefully will be posting some clippings of the new metal band veeeerrry soon And yeah, I'm a whitechapel and despised icon kinda guy [url="http://youtube.com/watch?v=j-cro_l8HLY"]http://youtube.com/watch?v=j-cro_l8HLY[/url] [url="http://youtube.com/watch?v=vSdplEm95h0"]http://youtube.com/watch?v=vSdplEm95h0[/url]

Whoops...didn't read whole post before posting. Ignore me, sorry.

Thought of Epifani UL's?

Heya, Been looking into buying a good bass for metal recently as I really don't want to keep taking my Ped to those gigs. I've been looking at the Ibanez SRX 595. I won't be able to play it before I buy, but I played and loved the SRX705, so I'm hoping that it will be similar. Basically, I'm looking for a 5 string with a nice fat tone, nothing fancy, just good for busting out some metal. In a perfect world it would be 35" scale, 19mm string spacing and two humbuckers though i'm happy to compromise on that since I'm not looking to spend alot. The only thing that's a must is the string spacing. This will basically be a gigging bass only, recording will be left to the Pedulla and Pbass, I'm just looking for a roadready bass that can take a beating Oh yes and I will be using mostly fingers but occasionally a pick. So...any suggestions? Ta! Ash

[quote name='budget bassist' post='202554' date='May 20 2008, 12:59 AM']We all wish we were that lucky My ex used to like it because she played guitar, we used to jam a little bit, was pretty cool. Also a couple of girls that like me (i know i know, can't get enough) keep asking me to teach them bass too bad i suck! haha[/quote] She's a drummer - think it helps

Can't really claim to have an "other half" since me and my lady haven't been together that long in the grand scheme of things...but she's been to all but two of my gigs in the time we've known each other, and actively encourages me to go to practices and *shock* buy basses. She helped me set up and unwrap my new cabs. I think she's a keeper And i want that tshirt.

Hmm I'll be honest it depends on the bass for me. I really don't like J's or P's with an active circuit as a rule of thumb (though i make an exception for that five string fender P with the chunky pickup at the bridge), however I love my rapture and I have rather a soft spot for those tasty active spectors . Depends on the bass?

Nice find mate! Guitarist in my band has one that hasn't been defretted and it certainly ain't a bad bass Well in

Weeey! Happy birthday Also can I just point out I've always liked your meerkat type creature in your avatar Merton. I also saw a meerkat being taken for a walk in the university parks here not long ago...was slightly surreal. But i digress, happy birthday! (edit for spelling error)

Anyone know what bass this is? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcZo_sYWKHw&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcZo_sYWKHw...feature=related[/url] Me likey. Alot. Cheers for any help Ash

Just shove in my two cents - got a 1978 P bass about a month ago, and it is absolutely the mutts' nuts. I love it. Yes it is slightly on the heavy side, but it makes up for it tenfold in tone and playability

I personally love the black/tort/maple combo, but go for what sings for you mate, lovely bass nevertheless Just got a P myself, fallen in love with bass again!

Cheers mate!

[quote name='ahpook' post='177042' date='Apr 15 2008, 02:09 PM']a nightmnare methinks. no offense folks, but that's one pig-ugly t-shirt[/quote] Really? I quite like it

Hi there Would anyone here happen to have or know where i can get hold of a circuit diagram of the Mesa BB750? Ta' Ash

Yeah I'd +1 about checking the head. Though once you get a transformer it's ok, it's just a bit of a hassle lugging it from gig to gig.

Hi there, Just got my dirty little mitts on two epifani 4x10s , and something that occured to me just now is that I now have two tweeters (one on each cab) that can be controlled individually. So here's my question, will I get much tonal difference by running the tweeters differently? Or should I just stick to the same tweeter level on both? How will it affect tone? Unfortunately I'm not really able to test it out at this hour, but I was just wondering if anyone had had any experiences? Ta' Ash

Well... wow is all i can say. I can't recommend this enough. Crisp, clear and tasty. You're onto a winner mate!

My Mesa was used by As I Lay Dying. Bought it off their frontman, very nice chap.

I had an ABM 500 for a while - it was made well and I never encountered any problems with it.

[quote name='Muppet' post='172409' date='Apr 8 2008, 04:57 PM']I know a guy at Panic Music (official Ampeg repair centre). He's got some intresting things to say about step down transformers and their use with amps, suffice to say he does not recommend them. I'm no techy so I can't tell you the details but if you are interested then speak to Mike. Saying that, I've a heavy duty stepdown transformer you can have for free if you can collect it from Peterborough.[/quote] Hmm, interesting that, I might drop him a line. And also that's really kind of you , unfortunately I'm not in a position to collect it, but nevertheless that was stella of ya mate! As I need this amp for friday, I'm buying a stupidly heavy duty step down transformer from a local builders' supplier tomorrow for the short term, and for a long term solution I'm gonna start calling around some of the amp techs mentioned here. Thanks alot guys! Ash
