I've played with these guys a couple of times - good musos and nice people. Free bump, good luck chaps!

Cheers chaps! Very kind you are

Thought I'd pop this up here as proof that I do get around to making rumbly noises with all the gear I buy off BC. This is my band, The Mariana Hollow. the song "Your Halo" is taken from our second record which will be out February 13th. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI8Xrup5akw I realise there's not much to comment on in the way of fancy bass chops on this tune, but any feedback on my tone or what we do as a band is welcome... it's good to talk Cheers Scott

[quote name='winterfire666' timestamp='1318081314' post='1397906']have you tried mono gig bags?[/quote] The storage is what's put me off Mono, the GB can just about be stuffed in there, but that's your lot. I guess I'm aiming for somewhere in-between the Mono and the storage beast that is the Igig.

Hey all, So for the last year or so, I've been using an Igig G515 bag. It's every bit as insanely roomy and well built as the hype would have you believe. Trouble is, with that build quality comes weight. I'm carrying my bass around practically all day everyday now, and desperately need a more compact lighter bag without sacrificing much in the way of storage space. I'm seeing plenty of slimmer fit and lighter looking bags on the market, but having doubts over whether any of those will be able to stash my Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 head. I know GB make a case for the shuttle, but I've already got my hands full when traveling with a pedalboard bag, so that's not really an option. Any recommendations? Price is almost no object if it'll be light enough that I can wake up and not ache again. Cheers Scott

Nice work chaps! As a blind user relying on some fairly weird navigational methods, this new layout is muchos muchos less cluttered, and muchos muchos more efficient for me. Haven't tried out the mobile version yet, I'm saving it as a little treat to while away time on the train tomorrow.

Recently bought a bass pod XT from Jose. Good price, quick delivery, safely packed and friendly comms throughout. There was a bit of a mix up, the pod arrived with the wrong Line 6 power supply, but Jose fixed that as soon as humanly possible and even covered return postage. Top bloke to deal with. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again.

Bump to subscribe via email, forgot to do it in the first post.

Are you wise in the ways of low end? Do you have fingers of doom which you use to play rock/metal/proggy stuff? Would you like to teach me some of that shiz? I've been playing for about 2 years, in a band since day 1 (switched away from guitar to get into this lineup and have never regretted it). Having just started to take on session work outside of the band, I've realised that there are gaps in my theoretical knowledge, I still have some bad "guitary" habits to shake out of my technique, and I could do with a weekly kick up the jacksy from a much better bass player. One slight oddety is that I'm totally blind, so you'd need to be able to break theory down verbally rather than showing me it on paper, and describe new techniques and/or be willing to adjust my grubby paws from time to time (I promise the blindness isn't contagious ). Other than those two things, it hasn't made a difference in my previous lessons on other instruments. Still, thought it was worth mentioning. Price-wise, I have £25 per hour to spend on this. Ideally lessons would take place at my humble abode in Wimbledon (apparently I make tea like horse piddle, but squash and biscuits will be provided). I can travel to you if needs be, so long as you're somewhere close to a station within half an hour of Wimbledon. Any takers? Shoot me a pm if you're interested and we'll go from there. Looking to start ASAP. Cheers Scott

I purchased the Zoom B2.1U mentioned above from Dandini (seems safe to assume it's the same one, how many Zoom's can one man need). Fast and friendly replies to my questions, and the pedal arrived securely packed. I'd happily do business with Dan again.
