[quote name='Grand Wazoo' post='802467' date='Apr 11 2010, 11:48 AM']I also can't hear bugger all bass, however in a small fraction of that song when the rest of the band is observing a very short STFU pause I could hear some kind of P bass with a bit of flanger, but for the rest, the youtube quality of it is bad and doesn't come through clearly.[/quote] Glad it's not just me

[quote name='civictiger' post='802240' date='Apr 11 2010, 12:02 AM']So where do I go? To the best place on Earth. BassChat!! This is one of my favourite new bands.. they are a newly formed Supergroup. Probably not well known yet as they are a pretty underground style, but I really would love to know what Bass Effect anybody would say the bass uses in parts of this song.. Im thinking some sort of OD but im not too sure. Wondering if I can get a really similar sound through my Sansamp Driver.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eTw57EBe-o"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eTw57EBe-o[/url] heres a link.[/quote] Sorry I could only stand 1 minute of that clip & TBH don't think I could hear any bass, or is that the *empty* bit?

[quote name='Dirty Little Bobby 99' post='802190' date='Apr 10 2010, 10:17 PM']Hello! I know there are lots of folks here who know their stuff, so I was wondering if anybody could provide me with any information about my TE 7215 combo. Serial Number: 70468.306.200 Model Number: 7215-7 Does the 200 mean it was made in 2000? Any other interesting bits of information anybody can provide about my amp's place in TE history? I don't know very much about this stuff. Ah, one other question, I'm in the process of selling it (issue of space and money ), is 300 quid a reasonable asking price? Apart from a few scuffs it's in excellent condition and has never needed any repairs. I bought it secondhand myself about four or five years ago but I know the original seller very well and it had never needed any maintenance. Cheers folks![/quote] Send them a email [url="http://www.trace-elliot.co.uk/contacts.php?flag=GB&lan=UK"]Trace Elliot[/url] I found they were really helpful. Cheers, John

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='801530' date='Apr 10 2010, 08:51 AM']Check out this demo of the Line6 Verbzilla on bass. The Octo mode is especially glorious!

Best bang for buck out there. I see you have the Ashdown Little Bastard - it would be awesome if you could post a review or even some recorded clips of what it sounds like cranked! :brow:[/quote] Cheers Dan, the myspace link doesn't seem to work for me? Thanks for the Big Muff recommendation, I'm still liking the look of your DHA I have no idea where to start recording clips from my LB, but trust me - it sounds exactly how an all tube bass amp should, exceedingly good! Seriously exactly what I hoped for, best sounds of all with my Frank Bello = no tone controls on the guitar just straight from the 1/4 lb pups (via volume pots) - absolutely brilliant! As for 'cranking it up' I'm thinking - July 4th, in my garden - bass version of Hendrix's Star spangled banner? (Woodstock '69) The neighbours love me really + I can keep my pies warm on top

[url="http://www.fender.com/uk/products/search.php?partno=0217500000#"]This Looks GREAT![/url] BUT - is it any good for bass?

Cheers Bassnut62, no disappointment - thanks for sharing your opinion. I'm not impressed with the Boss stuff at all from what I've seen & heard so far. I'm loving the cry baby, thinking about a fuzz now + a reverb is still on the wants list - addictive ain't it!

[quote name='chrisd24' post='798725' date='Apr 7 2010, 02:20 PM']Hmm seems to make sense then! i have a 12v amp but its mainly for a guitar as it sounds like a chorus of farts with a bass running through it! so is it possible with a different type of inverter then?[/quote] [color="#FF0000"][size=5]chorus of farts[/size][/color] That sounds like the exact fx pedal I'm looking for Maybe - but you can bet your last peanut a 'audio friendly' inverter ain't gonna come cheap

Probably because the inverter ain't got a lot of smoothing 'if any' on the output so you're getting a ton of 50Hz'ish' hum. Pretty sure the inverter won't be rated suitable for audio devices. What you need is a amp that runs on 12VDC

[quote name='geo_bass' post='798531' date='Apr 7 2010, 11:29 AM']'Reet, I'm after some advice regarding my Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass. After joining a new band i'm changing from Standard E Tuning to a C-G-C-F Tuning. I pretty much want the bass sounding as good as it did in standard tuning, what i want to know is.. · What gauge and type of stings i should be going for to make playing it "less wobbly" · Would replacing the bridge or nuts be of any benefit? And being that im based just outside of Glasgow, would like any recommendations of places i can have any work done. Cheers Geo[/quote] Do you really want that low C? I leave my Skjold tuned DGCF these days, it's so smoooooooooth to play BTW it's 35" scale strung with GHS 3060 black nylons. I suppose if you find it a bit 'wobbly' just ease off with the plucking maybe? That bottom C is too low for a lot of strings without perhaps going to a B from a five set, or at least something like a 115/120 which will probably mean opening up the nut to take it, or fit a new nut. The truss rod will probably need relaxing a flat or two. The bridge should be fine, it'll just need the intonation & height setup to match the strings you end up with, after setting the truss rod. I can't help you regarding where to get the work done, I'm way down South You don't say what sort of strings you would like to use, round or flat for starters? Cheers, John

[quote name='StevieD_FenderP2009' post='798025' date='Apr 6 2010, 09:03 PM']To Lojo I definately enjoy myself playing this bass It's just such a fantastic bass to play and definately the best Fender Bass I've played. The jazz profile neck on it is beautiful[/quote] Hey Grand! That'a a good looking P alright & I'm sure it sounds great. Your reference to 'The Jazz profile neck' made me wonder so I looked up Fender's spec, they don't give a 'shape' but they state 1.75" 44.5mm at nut - that's pretty big even for a P neck! Is that what it measures? Just comparing it to my Frank Bello at 1.625"/41.3mm Cheers, John

[quote name='keeponehandloose' post='795748' date='Apr 4 2010, 03:16 PM']My first topic on here,so Hello all. Being more familiar with Upright bass,I do play bass guitar and just got a spare set of strings for my 51 Precision . I bought long scale ,but the binding at the nut end reaches the first fret. What scale length is the Precision? Is there Extra Long Scale?[/quote] It sounds like you've got a wrong set, (could be medium scale strings), in the packet! My '51 P measures just about 32" from (Hipshot) bridge to fret #1, that's what length an average set of medium scale strings would be. What make/model strings are they? There are XL strings, usually quoted for up to 36" scale but you don't need them for a Precision. [url="http://www.rotosound.com/nexus_bass.html"]Typical manufacturers chart:[/url] Cheers, John

[quote name='BigBeatNut' post='794610' date='Apr 2 2010, 08:14 PM']Verrry nice ... but 30 watts ? There's one tiny venue I go to where I take a 90 watt amp ... but I can't imagine using anything as low as 30. What's the context ? Big Band lineup ? Acoustic guitars ? Andy[/quote] I've just sold my ashdown Five Fifteen Mini rig, that's 100 Watt with 210 cab. This gives 10 times the sound that does, (in a non scientific sort of way). I've got a Peavey Windsor Studio all vave guitar amp that gives out 18 watts ish - that's loud! My mate's just got a £2.5K Roland drum kit, can't remember what amp he's using but we'll see how the three sound together soon enough. EDIT: I think it's the [url="http://www.igotmusic.co.uk/ProductDetail.asp?ProductID=TD-12K-WH"]Roland TD 12 KV[/url] & [url="http://www.igotmusic.co.uk/ProductDetail.asp?ProductID=PM-30"]PM 30[/url] - Oh dear! [quote name='pantherairsoft' post='794619' date='Apr 2 2010, 08:31 PM']Wattage doesn't really mean much between manufacturers.. My EBS Session 60 is a 60w 1x10 and is about 3 times as loud as my good friends 100w 1x15 (might be a 1x12, I forget) Fender Rumble. It's not so much the wattage, more how the technology behind the amp drives them.[/quote] Exactly! Valves rule I tried the Fender rumbles 112 & 210 - not impressed. [quote name='Beedster' post='794631' date='Apr 2 2010, 08:45 PM']Looks lovely. So if this is a loud 30W, what rating speaker is it going to need. Would my 100W/4ohm 1x15 take it? Chris[/quote] That should be fine Chris, I was looking at the Schroeder 115 until Ashdown came up trumps with their 112.

[quote name='Clarky' post='794591' date='Apr 2 2010, 07:56 PM']The head looks very cool - how many Watts and how loud will it go? Apologies for my ignorance, I know nothing about this new line[/quote] Only 30 lovely red hot glowing watts, it's as loud as I will ever need! That's why I got Ashdown to build me a custom 112, plenty! A bit like my car it's big & comfy with a V6 motor & an electronic limiter at 155mph (apparently) but we have a 70mph national speed limit (don't we).

[quote name='alexharvay' post='794553' date='Apr 2 2010, 07:05 PM']Wow, that amp is so shiny you can just about see it's Trace Elliot roots shining through.[/quote] Yep - well spotted Funny enough - I've got it perched on top of my old faithful Boxer 65 too [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='794555' date='Apr 2 2010, 07:09 PM']I like the look of that! How does it compare to your solid state stuff? Always faniced an all-valve setup for certain jobs.[/quote] So far I'd say it's absolutely fabulous, I can't stop playing!
