This is great stuff; got to love a bit of baritone guitar! I'd love to put myself forward, but fear I am way too old (45) and distant (work in London but commute in) to be a viable option! Good luck Gareth

Sounds quite early Police-ish, and I mean that as a compliment!

The 1400X is an awesome amp. Tons of headroom.

I've only been on the upright for about a year, and don't even own a full size bass - I play a hybrid BSX Allegro 5 - so I guess my comments are very much those of a newbie too. My bass came with Spiro Weichs on it, but I wanted something lower tension and went for Innovation Silver Slaps. They have, for me, the perfect tension, they also feel great under the fingers, and I just love the sound. The action on my bass is about 7mm at the end of the fingerboard, which is fine my playing style in both pizz and slapping. The bass is piezo only, built into the bridge. I don't change my eq at all between slapping and pizz. Cheers Gareth

One of the guitarists in my band uses one. He started with the Para DI and liked it so much, both in terms of build quality, reliability, and functionality, that he decided to upgrade to the Venue. It's early days but he seems very impressed and pleased with it, especially the extra features of the built in tuner, mute and boost. Expensive, but you get a lot of bang for your buck.

Ain't Google a wonderful thing!

I pikced up an H2 from Toasted a few months back and I must say it's been a terrific purchase; dead easy to set up and use. We record all our rehearsals with it now and will be trying it at a gig in due course too. Also might have a go at some Youtube clips synching it with my HD camera.

I'd go for this, a 66 Fender Bass V.... Only $4.6K
