OH aye CHECK MA SIG BITCHES hahahahahaha[/quote] One reason, for me anyway, money. Take the Squire VMJ, a cracking bass at a cracking price and cheaper than most 2nd hand Fenders I could get my grubby mitts on. Your 'SIG BITCHES' btw, you've got an Epi EB-1!

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='869593' date='Jun 17 2010, 12:23 AM']+1 on the pinning suggestion.[/quote] I'll second that (or is it third?) well whatever, a lot of good sites that will be of help to people.

There are going to be a lot of very disappointed people if it's not real.

[quote name='SignsOfDelirium_bassist' post='868552' date='Jun 15 2010, 10:46 PM']Loving the colour of that SDGR300 marvin![/quote] Cheers mate. I must admit to begin with I didn't want the red, I actually wanted the sparkle blue with maple neck, but I couldn't find one. But know I wouldn't change anything about it now, it's a great bass in all respects.

[quote name='Bilbo' post='868899' date='Jun 16 2010, 12:01 PM']Being a reader.......[/quote] Reading a book? A map? The collected works of Shakespeare? Or the instructions on how to get out of the lift in which they are constantly playing Jaco Pastorius - The Chicken ?

[quote name='silddx' post='867913' date='Jun 15 2010, 12:02 PM']It will have "Ped" next to it too, so be careful who you show that to. [/quote] Even more so now as Ped is plugging that 'web' channel he always seems to be on about lately

I am seriously tempted by the Promethean, but like WoT would like to try one first. Problem being they are quite rare around my way. In fact I don't know of anywhere that stocks them in Devon.

Brilliant idea.

Well it was mildly distractingly toe tapping enough, to be able to avoid conversing with fellow passengers in the lift it's being played in.

[attachment=52302:SDC11552.jpg] [attachment=52301:SDC11389.jpg] [attachment=52300:SDC11386.jpg] My SR300. Bottom of the rung but a cracking bass for the pennies.

I'm always tweaking with the EQ. It's just me, I start wondering 'what if I just...' and I do.

Haven't a clue, I'm actively trying to avoid getting roped into a band at the moment. So perhaps being 'offish' is not a way to be successful. Oh and perhaps when a potential band mate says they want to play a certain genre so other potential band member responds with a list of possible covers that are as long as your arm, first band type person says no to all of them. That's another no no.

[quote name='silddx' post='865998' date='Jun 13 2010, 02:47 PM']Your mrs is absolutely correct, it's all DI. No mics were involved.[/quote] Wish I never posted that now, she's like the who's got the cream now .

Mrs Marvin said, and I quote ' it sounds like it's been farted about with!' But she's a euphonium player, so what does she know (well a lot actually and she's got a handy right hook! ) I think though that may have more to do with DI and not micing amps, possibly, as she said she didn't feel any feel from where it was recorded 'sounds like it's gone right to the desk' she said. Not very well explained but I hope you get the gist. For me it did sound a little, well clinical. But let me have more of a think and I may come up with a better description.

[quote name='ped' post='862778' date='Jun 9 2010, 11:46 PM']Well I sold 'em all I'm afraid, but I'll give you a quickie at the next bash if you like[/quote] If that's a pass, I'll warn you now I'm very high maintenance.

[quote name='ped' post='862510' date='Jun 9 2010, 07:12 PM']Haha. Yup. Spot on.[/quote] No t-shirt then.

[quote name='Clarky' post='862495' date='Jun 9 2010, 06:56 PM']You rang? Now where's the pink? [attachment=51751:Ron_Jeremy.jpg][/quote] Blimey Clarky what've you done to yourself? Wash that dye out of your hair and get rid of that moustache it doesn't go with your image.

1. Trace 2. POD 3. V Bass I'm making a wild guess BTW. If I'm right do I get a Basschat t-shirt?

[quote name='silddx' post='862161' date='Jun 9 2010, 03:04 PM']Likewise, I ditched my Fender twin 4x10, expensive power soak, and all my effects and went for a POD. I can't tell the difference either, in fact I get sounds out the POD I prefer and i can taylor all of them to exactly how I want them. The POD is my Desert Island piece of kit.[/quote] Late to the party again I'm afraid . I have very limited experience in all things technical, however I did have a very interesting chat with a music shop owner a couple of weeks back. He was a real tech nerd (and a really top bloke) and he explained how Line 6 create the 'digital models'. Unlike my zoom which is basically a recording (it's a bit more in depth than that but it basically only emulates the end sound), whereas the Line 6 guys break down the whole signal from start to finish and recreate it at every point. That's why it sounds as good as it does, you get the whole thing. He said it was a fantastic piece of kit, and in the main most people can't tell it's a digital sound. Personally I'm a bit of both chap myself. The main problem I would encounter only using a pedal is that the venues I would be playing wouldn't have a PA at all If you don't need to lug around rigs then don't. I'm certainly a fan of any technology that proves itself to do the job. I is no ludite.

Great news. And another entry in my tenuous claims to fame All the best CB

B2A threads seem to be appearing once a month now, and just go to remind me how much I miss my old one

[quote name='discreet' post='859977' date='Jun 7 2010, 03:21 PM']Can't get much simpler than mine, which is what I think Marvin was referring to (thanks, mate!) but it's not in my sig any more:[/quote] No problem mate. I'll be expecting the cheque any day soon then?
