As many know I just upgraded my Bass to gorgeous sr500 (pics in other thread) and so ended up with two basses along with a small bass practice amp and an old marshall practice amp.

I have been reading on peopes posts how they inproved slowly by trading up as they went to the point where they now own guitar warehouses of equiptment (prs and rcole I'm looking at you here lol)
so I thought I would give it a go so took my old amps and bass

and off i went to cash convertors,
Walked out of cash convertors with £150 (%150 profit :D) and headed over to guitarguitar as I had been toying with getting a line 6 spider 15watt from them at £84.99.

As i got towards the shop I happened to put my head into cash generator as some shiny guitars had caught my eye and spotted this

priced at £120.

got it rigged up and plugged in and gave it a try. didnt sound to good but I noticed it was on a user preset turned it down and selected a factory set... ooooh sweet, by this time the manager had walked over saying he thinks it may have a problem so will take an offer.

I hummed and harrred for a bit saying it may be expensive but if he would take 80 I'd see what I could do, And here it is, got home switched it on keeping A pressed and reset it to factory, perfectly working line 6 spider 3 75w for less than the price of a 15.

I feel quite chuffed with me.

so here is the new family pic

notice the main culprit for all of the gas and aas on top of the amp. ]]> shihdo http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/771256-HNAD-(busy-couple-of-days) Slooooooooooooooooow loading on Xbox http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/771198-Slooooooooooooooooow-loading-on-Xbox?goto=newpost Tue, 21 May 2013 01:41:40 GMT I posted this in the bass challenge last week (and it was ignored in context, but maybe non-sequitor in that thread): ---Quote--- Also, this...

Also, this took a LONG time to get to play. I had the DLC on my Xbox and I don't know what happened to Rocksmith since I started playing primarily on PC but it takes it 5 minutes to get to the point where it has loaded content. Seriously, it's unplayably slow. Fire up the game and I'm playing bass like 10-15 minutes later.

It also took it another 5 minutes to save the game (via options screen) after I added this to an event. Is there some magic way to reset whatever crazy cache or something it has gotten stuck on? Delete DLC? Sacrifice a tofurkey? If this was my day to day Rocksmith experience, I would never put up with it.

So does anyone have any idea? Hopefully this will get some attention in this forum. It's seriously getting to a ridiculous level now.

First of all I'd like to mention Rocksmith is helping me A LOT with guitar. Well, actually, after I watched a demo, it MADE me want to learn guitar. I love it!

But I'm having a little issue: I'm a bit color blind: to my eyes, the green&yellow, and Blue&Purple color combinations look the same. :( This is not a problem during songs (I can tell the notes & strings by their height on the screen). So far, so good, now comes the real problem: As a guitar noob, I have this terrible problem of playing the wrong string during a song, so Rocksmith suggested me the game Super Ducks, which is EXACTLY what I needed! Problem is that, for me... I can see only 3 colors of ducks, and had to give up after an entire night trying to get used to the colors T-T (I hate my eyes)

So I'd like to leave a suggestion for a patch here, or an option to be toggled ingame: Add something (floating sign, a little cape, a helmet, pair of shorts) on each duck with the name of the correct string on it. The color continues, but now we see the ducks with the e / A / D / G / B / E letters on them.

I started out being able to play Rocksmith normally on the laptop I have, then it started to lag and freeze for no apparent reason within a couple of minutes of it being opened. I was advised to buy a new laptop by support, which of course I was not going to do for one faulty game alone when it worked perfectly well with everything else, met the minimum requirements for said game anyway and ran it perfectly well for a couple of months. One of the creators asked me through Twitter to email a specific address with details but of course I never heard back. I didn't really expect to since support had been so dismissive already.

But anyway. The laptop that I have now will probably soon be in need of replacing now anyway as it has since developed a couple of other faults. I could buy parts for it, but I figure I might as well use the money that those parts would cost me anyway to get something new. So I've been having a look at a few different models and have just come across a Clevo Logiq, which I've never heard of before, but which seems to have pretty good specs. The processor is listed as "Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 @ 2.20 GHz" and the graphics are integrated. Can anybody confirm for me if this meets the "E4400 @ 2.00 Ghz" minimum requirement for running the game, please?

One of the cool things about Rocksmith are the different tones that go with the songs. The problem with all those tones is trying to purchase all the pedals that create those tones. So for the past few months I have been looking at Multi-Effect pedals. I wanted one that was specific to Bass and that I could play with before buying. So yesterday I was at the big box guitar store and they had the Digitech BP355. I had read mostly positive reviews on the product and really liked the way it is set up. I played with it for about an hour and I just was not sure but then the sales guy told me that they were having a sale and if I didn't like it I could return it up to 30 days. How could I say no, so I picked one up. I must say this pedal is great. It has so many features to list and I am still learning how to use them all. Just a great purchase.

It's been almost half a year since I got my Schecter C-1 Custom, and I'm starting to GAS again. Well, maybe it's BAS. I'm thinking I'd like to start playing a little bass. Since I'm not sure if I'll really get into playing bass, I tried looking on Craigslist first for some cheap used guitars. Most of what I'm seeing is in the $100 range, which is cheap, but not much less than what I'm seeing some new instruments sell for.

In particular, this Schecter SGR C-4 for $199 on Amazon caught my eye:

But I really don't know what to look for in a starter bass. Does anyone have a recommendation on either this Schecter model or any other starter bass? $200 would be the absolute upper limit of what I would want to spend. $100-$150 (used or not) would be much better.
