I'm very much of the opinion that if you save up and spend your money on anything you can do whatever you like with it chips, dents, scratches, dirt, all irrelevant.[/quote] [quote name='Prosebass' post='736011' date='Feb 5 2010, 11:58 AM']You can say the same about Cars , some people waste hours of their lives polishing them on Sunday mornings ? If you want to keep a bass looking like new then fine, thats your perogative, but others don't care , doesn't make them 'less of a person' and whatever they do with their basses is entirely their choice.[/quote] A seletion of quotes that make sense. I prefer to play my bass rather than sit there polishing it and getting to that speck of dust under the strings. Same with my motorbikes - I ride them rather than spend all day cleaning the things. They're only tools.

I've taken the plunge and bought a Sansamp Para DI from DV247. For what I want it seems the best option. Thanks Dood forsuggesting this one. I'll post a review in the reviews section in a few weeks or so.

Thanks Dood. I'd not even looked at that one.

Normally I don't post threads asking for advice on products but I'm a bit stuck. After the weekend I'll be selling my Marshall VBC412 and TE GP7SM 130 head (look out for them on the for sale section next week), as I don't really need them. Anyway, I'm looking to replace these with a DI/Overdrive pedal Here's my favourites so far: MXR M80 Sansamp BDDI Sansamp Bass Driver Porgrammable Dave Hall VT1 EQ Bass Drive I'd be using the pedal live and for recording - for everything pretty much. I plan to run it through the effects loop on my Fender Rumble 100 or straight to the desk live. For recording I would jsut run it straight to the desk. I like the idea of the programmable Sansamp just 'cos I can have different sounds should I ever need them, can I do this with the rest? I've been leaning towards the Dave Hall VT1, but then I read reviews of the Sansamps and they're all good. Help? **EDIT** Should maybe include that the sound I'm looking for is Entwistle/Geddy Lee. Nice growly jazz sound

An acoustic version of our song This is the Right Time. This was recorded when I wasn't there and I had no idea they were doing it until our guitarist sent me the link. Still... let us know what you think. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8KDYN14J98"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8KDYN14J98[/url]

I can just about do triplets with three fingers, but I can't seem to do anything other than that. That just seems to be the only rhythm I can do with three fingers.

[quote name='Clarky' post='691349' date='Dec 22 2009, 10:58 AM']I always noodle "The Magnificant Seven" in warm-ups, actually very simple but sounds like it should be harder. Also "Rock the casbah" and "London Calling" are great and easy to play[/quote] Can't forget White man in Hammersmith Palais.

Bodyrockers - I like the way you move No Doubt - Hella Good Anything by Reverand and the Makers Biffy Clyro - A whole child ago The Clash - Police and Thieves (This was the song that inspired me to learn bass) Infact any song by The Clash

Morning all. I know there's a efw of you on here from Peterborough and the surrounding area so I was wondering if any of you knew of some decent practice rooms. The practice rooms we were usign have been shut down and we've tried a place in Kings Cliffe but it was pretty pants and is in the arse end of nowhere. Thanks

I don't think I'll ever fall out of love with my '75 RI Fender Jazz. Would like another jazz - rosewood fingerboard, flats, white with tort p'guard '51 P bass is doing it for me at the minute as well.

I must admit this has slightly dented my thoughts about purchasing Barefaced. Good, honest review all the same.

I think I will end up waiting for a Double Midget. But I'd like to hear a Purple Chili when a couple of the guys on here get one.

I bought BGM yesterday to read the review. I'm not a regular reader of BGM, I occasionally buy it when I'm in Smiths. But half the time it doesn't even cross my mind, probably 'cos it's sh*t. I'd gone through the entire mag in less than 20 minutes and I was trying to make it alst 'cos I was on a train. Anyway, sorry for the derail. The Compact is now out of the equation and I'm now looking at a Double Midget and either a PCB112NT or PCB212NT. Not sure which, any thoughts?
