  1. The problem I encounter is that I like to check out BC on my tablet, but the soundcloud links won't work on that device. I hardly ever use my laptop at home anymore and won't spend more than a couple of minutes here during work hours for obvious reasons. Maybe my problem is rare but as more and more people are using portable devices to go online I think it is worth thinking about how content is shared on these forums with the limitations of these devices in mind.
  2. I got a Cort GB35a and am quite pleased with it. B-string is quite decent and the 2 pups allow for a variety of tones. To be honest though; I never got the nice tones out of it that I get from my old fender jazz copy from the 70's. And since I detuned that 4-string to D standard with a set of heavy gauge flatwounds on it, I hardly ever really need that 5-stringer anymore.
  3. maybe the nut slot is too wide for the gauge of the new a string, causing loss of sustain due to the string moving back and forth.
  4. The Tascam guitar trainer comes close, but it plays cds. I don't know if there's a version that plays mp3 files. edit: yes the gb10 plays mp3 and wav files.
  5. Here's my current setup, with the Korg sitting there temporarily, as it's not really suitable for live situations, with all them little buttons and switches... [attachment=136941:pedalboard.png]
  6. For me, there can be only one: thanks Eddie Hazel, r.i.p! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOKn33-q4Ao[/media]

  8. Thanks for your tips guys; much appreciated!
  9. I played with one yesterday for about half an hour. Nice sound and reproduces the deep end very well. But to keep up with an enthousiastic drummer you'll need an extension cab, or connection with the desk.
  10. Hi all, My jazz is tuned to DGCF and I plan to keep it that way, but with the current .45 - .105 roundwound strings attached I can't seem to lower the action as much as I'd like without causing fretbuzz, losing tone as wel as sustain, unless I play very light or close to the bridge. Now I could install a .50 - .110 set but I am not fond of having to mess with the nut, and I rather not risk having the nut split from forcing in too thick a string. As I don't really care for the bright sound of new strings that much, and roll off the highs with the tone knob quite a bit most of the time (I also never feel the need to change strings before they are actually defective), I am considering switching to flats. Now I'm eyeballing these Fender 9050m steel flats and hope they'll solve the problems, as they reportedly have very hight tension. Am I on the right track to a possible solution with this idea? And if so, are there any other reasonably priced brands/sets that I should consider? Sandor
  11. Hi Paul, I've had a lot of trouble with the Deepressor and eventually gave up and exchanged it for a Carl Martin Classic Opto comp. The Deepressor left the upper registers more intact than the Carl Martin, but it had a bit more roll-off on the lows. The input PAD button is effective but takes away quite a bit of harmonics and dulls the highs. I was hoping it would really "growl" when set to high compression settings, as advertised by the designer, but it must be very subtle because I never noticed it. It does deliver loads of sustain though, if that's what you need, and without adding too much noise as well. My biggest problem with this compressor was that it had a tendency to hum like crazy, especially when used in combination with other pedals. I was surprised when i found the shoddy soldering inside the unit when i opened it up to see if anything was amiss inside. The ground wire had come loose from the print circuit; it looked like it had been glued in place instead of properly soldered. Instead of sending it back for repairs i fixed this myself, but it did not solve the humming problem. I tried every trick in the books to fix this problem, but I never succeeded, and eventually ordered a replacement under warranty. Then I found that the replacement unit had exactly the same problem. I contacted Palmer about this issue and they never bothered to answer. Then I decided I had wasted enough time, shipped the Palmer back and got the CM. The design of the housing seems so neat with the screw holes but if you tighten the screws the pedal lifts up at the front. I ended up making a construction so I could screw it down at the front as well. Access to the input/output jack sockets is hindered by the encasing; when using angled jacks you'll have trouble arranging your patch cables neatly. The input PAD button is located in an awkward place when everything is cabled up on your board, so switching if on or off during sessions is not so convenient. For me, this experience made me weary of buying another of Palmer's products. Too bad because they recently introduced an octaver pedal for bass and i am interested to find out how well it performs.
  12. If it had any or all of these 3 more features it would be so much more useful; 1. Headphone amp circuitry 2. Midi connectivity, maybe some software as well for maintaing your banks. 3. Soundcard functionality through usb. That would make me sell my Korg Pandora PX5
