Yes, but if you want people to come and watch you, you'd damn well better be both. If you don't want to be an entertainer, stay in your bedroom.

When you do this, make sure all the tone knobs etc are set flat / to 0 / in the middle, so you can hear the actual sound of the bass and make it easier to compare.

I just bought a ToneHammer yesterday. I went into the shop to try a paradriver and a VTDI side by side and spent a long time tweaking these trying to find the sound I wanted. I was sure the para would give me the right sound if I spent long enough with it, but nothing seemed quite right. I've...

If you see these things as "nightmares", you really need to chill!!

I'm all for being edgy, pushing boundaries, making people uncomfortable etc etc, and I've done the punk shock thing and have no problems with any of the other names mentioned above by people defending this. But there are certain places you just don't go. There's a massive difference between...

:D While we may be awesome, we're far too old to ever make any serious money out of this - gig fees go back into the band to pay for recording etc, I'm assuming that we're all too good mates to screw each other - and I'm too old to be naive!! :eyebrow:

I used to play in a ZZ Top tribute band. Both Sharp dressed man and Gimme all your lovin are pretty much 1 note over and over with a sudden change for the chorus. Not complicated but very easy to mess up. I always used to think of it as a bit like being a goalkeeper for a really good football...

Don't get defensive, what might be right for me may not be right for you. You're right I wouldn't particularly like this style of band for what I do, but you're stretching things if you're trying to say I'm rubbishing the whole concept. My main point is I'm interested in people's experiences of...

I am really struggling to understand this whole 'bandleader' thing. I've been in bands for the last 20 years and never heard of the concept until i saw it on this forum - maybe it's an american thing? All the bands I've been in were 'co-operative' bands. We all knew who was good at booking gigs...

Well, we only got 6% of the vote, but we're through to the final as one of the 2 judge's wildcard picks! Awesome!!!!!

There's only a couple of days left to vote! If anyone else wants to help we could really use your votes!!!!! Thank you!

Thanks JMac and smogg for your votes, and loved your comments smogg - it is an english accent! essentre - it works ok for me and I'm on firefox, but computers are a mystery to me and don't do as they should too often, I hope you manage to get on it later! Diabolus - fair play mate, Vex...

And while I'm at it, if anyone has any clever tips about how to maximise our vote, they would be gratefully appreciated!

:help: OK, apologies for the 'please-vote-for-my-band' style plug, but... Please vote for my band!!!!!!!!!!!!:hyper: We're in the semi finals of a regional Battle of the Bands competition, bands with the most online votes go through to the final. Winner of the final gets to play at a...

Thanks for your answers! I've also contacted Audere, who have great customer service. The basic answer is that the red wires from the pups go, via the coil tap switch, to the green and white wire from the module, the same wire that the black pup wires go to. If anyone is doing a similar...

No pictures, but you can see the coil tap schematic here: http://www.nordstrandpickups.com/faq-support/schematics/images/Fatstack-Coil-Switching.jpg and the pre here: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Hi all. I'm just adding an Audere 3ZB pre to the Nordstrand fat stacks which I was previously running passive in my Lakland 5501. Wired it up last night and it sounds great. I had to do a bit of guesswork for the coil tap though. The red wires from the pups go to the coil tap switch and...

Js growl, Ps bark. Or was it the other way round?!

One in 4 people will suffer some kind of mental health problem at some point. It's not exactly uncommon. But I would guess that it is more common for musicians for a number of reasons. (including drugs, chaotic lifestyles, creative minds, demographics.)

Love it!! Although to the casual reader it just looks like I was drunk.:smug:

Odelay - Beck In Utero - Nirvana Blue Lines - Massive Attack Dirty - Sonic Youth Parklife - Blur Blood sugar sex magic - RHCP Grace - Jeff Buckley The Chronic - Dr Dre Dummy - Portishead Exit Planet Dust - Chemical Brothers That's a lot more great albums from the 90s that I like (and...

According to google translate, the first post after the pictures of butchery simply states "When the teacher to help me water F have also posted my surgical mask". I couldn't have said it better myself.

I'm liking the look of the Stageclix. Not sure if it's available in the states though. http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f30/stageclix-wireless-competition-all-others-live-up-452690/

Jones: You dirty sod. You dirty old man. Grundy: Well keep going chief, keep going. Go on. You've got another five seconds. Say something outrageous. Jones: You dirty bastard. Grundy: Go on, again. Jones: You dirty ****er. Grundy: What a clever boy. Jones: What a ****ing rotter...

But don't forget that what sounds good playing on your own probably won't when playing with a band.

Diads?

You should definitely try out the subdecay baby quasar, its got a beautiful mellow phase, plenty of low end can do funky as well. it's the sound I hear in my head. For my enjoyment of playing, I'd probably be happy with a quasar and a VT, for my enjoyment of shopping however ...:D

Don't forget power conditioners.

Always always hat-side. Although thinking about it, our drummer has an electric kit now so it shouldn't make much difference to what I hear, but that's the side it's gotta be. I do wander around the stage a bit though, sometimes go and stand with the guitarist on the other side, just to interact...

It's got more to do with string angle than anything else. I put my thicker strings through the bridge and thinner ones through the body. Doesn't really matter though.

Some of us are ignorant about everything!:hmm: I think Abraham Lincoln said that

Love it! Applies to so many different things.

A lot of people choose the 700RB over the 1001RB as the lower power makes it easier to hit the sweet spot. How that compares to the 800 though is a different story.

Here's my band - 'I am the Dice' http://www.facebook.com/iamthedice There's a couple of demo tracks and a video. I think the demo tracks are a little 'over-processed' - we sound rawer and heavier live, and with the bass much higher in the mix. But we like it!

The Beatles were a great band, and who cares if we like Paul or we like John or whatever. Personally, I can't stand Paul: from what I've read it's pretty obvious he screwed the others over and was only interested in his own ego; but why anyone would be interested in my opinion, I don't know -...

I wish I hadn't. :eek:

I'm not sure about his response, but your assertion that you want people with a 'professional attitude' to form a punk band is WAY funnier!!!

Yes there is, the GK700RBII :ninja:

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] These Behringers look OK. But they are Behringers.:eyebrow: Edit: just missed your previous post. 1U with pre?!

They're pretty robust and fold flat against the side of your bass, or alternatively can be put on a little holster on your strap with an extension. It is a very cool concept, but looks like you'd have to pay extra postage - now you know how we usually feel! :p
