Advantages: loads of tracks Disadvantages: some seem quite dated
A six CD box set which showcases a huge selection of tracks from the drum and bass scene.
Drum and bass has gained huge popularity over the years and has gained alot of followers thanks to its breaknecks speeds of drums, bass and sample ridden madness. These tracks show you what is all about and my gosh there is alot of them.
The tracks span right back to the early nineties and some can sound very dated but interesting nether the less. Producers which stand out on the album are the big heavy weights such as 'Dillinja' with his awesome track 'Grimey' with its huge pitch bending bass synth and the unforgettable vocal sample, this one will keep you going till the early hours. Then there is J-magik, with his equally powerful but more jazzy power rhythms.

It looks very retro too, being a model originally released in the 60's.
The sound is famous for its ringing sustain and beatiful pitch. It really does send a chill down your spine with a set of thin strings on ...
Advantages: They're beautiful. Disadvantages: You'll cry if you have to sell it.
It's difficult to buy a double bass in the simple way you might buy a good quality electric guitar or electric bass . For a guitar you can sort of decide if you're Fender, Gibson, Gretsch etc type of person by seeing what you're favourite players use on the telly and then trying them out in any good guitar store. But for the double bass we're in different territory all together and different rules apply.
If you try out the bass in a store or room that is stuffed with other double basses or even other wooden acoustic instruments its going to resonate a little in each of those instruments and lead you into believing you have a lovely soundingbass when you probably haven't.
Some spaces can make an unamplified double basssound great. I like to play mine on the lower landing of my stairwell - always sounded beautiful there. If you ...
