Nick sent me a recording of himself with his new amp and I think he's using his warwick. I am quite impressed. He has improved greatly and I'm actually digging his tone. His new amp really sounds great. Kudos to you Nick!
I'll try to get it uploaded. I like it

But I'm still looking forward to hearing the new track. I don't think Whafrodamus would have said it was pretty good if he really didn't think it was. |

I just went mental with the fieldy slap. *shifty look* and will, it is my warwick! The EQ was switched off for the RATM bit. I turned it on for the slap and pop stuff to get a fat sound. I'm currently going and getting all my favourtie bass tones, and I nailed the Never Again growl this afternoon when twiddling about with the amp(s) and overdrive pedal. I'll post some clips sometime(when i can be arsed to drag my rig upstairs). |

His tone is better, still a little too trebely for my tastes and a little harsh, but thats the way he likes it, nice and growly.
His playing is better. Plays a few incorrect notes here and there, but his timing is improving.
Keep it up. |

Keep it up. | Pretty much what I was thinking. Definently better than the last couple things I heard from him.
Here is a link for the recording: http://www.sentryelite.com/nicktheba...nicknewrig.mp3 (3.47mb) |

I would tell you that your playing is improving, but I havn't heard The Mentalist so I can't really compare them.
But yeah, it certainly isn't bad.
EDIT: Are all ashdowns that bright? I was thinking about buying the MAG300H, but I was looking for a darker sound. A much darker sound.

Keep working on your timing and rhythm-remember, if you're timing is good enough, the occasional wrong note can sound like a purposeful one, or a passing tone. |
