ok. so ive been trying to resist this. but i failed ive just ordered one from bax who say it will be delivered in 2 weeks. the tones that come out of this thing to my ears are simply devine! what are your guys thaughts?

...Just a bit of fun. Descriptions seen in ads that maybe true but are faintly ridiculous. (I'm not pleading innocence here by the way) I'll start with... 1. Plays like butter (often spelt buttah) 2. Never been gigged (never really seen the point of that one) 3. All original (so what if it's as good a bass you're telling me it is) 4. Bought it new for £1300 a week ago. (Take it back to the shop) 5.?

I want to beef up my reputation. Can I buy more points?

She only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain .

Wahaay.. I know you didn't wanna see this pic but it's the first pic I've ever (been able to)post on the mobile basschat

Reactions are rationed though. I've just used up my limit for today.

Now I face a dilemna.......I want to like this post, but am unsure if I should

I'll like yours if you like mine...... I see a black market forming

Brown paper bag, like last time?

Ta very muchly - how did you do that? I mean, you've already got 15 ...

Another idea would be to set up a custom search of the kind of content that does interest you, then save it as a custom stream and make it your homepage. There are no sidebars on those pages.

@BigRedX I will probably look at creating a lightweight theme in the coming weeks. There seems to be some demand for it, part of the problem is some people want everything on the screen, others want a minimal amount and it's not easy to cater for both

Was Andy Irvine the originator of the reference to butter? I know he always claimed it aplied to every Warwick he picked up. The other one I don't get is "plays itself".

Well done. Feels great to have a like button on a post so people can react without having to post a comment. Good stuff

The new site looks great, excellent work John

Just checking the one that didn’t work yesterday... Woo hoo! This new gaff of yours ped and charic... cool place!

Well, someone's had a busy weekend! Site's looking great, well done indeed; looking forward to exploring more.

Or this happens:

You rang?

I don't think the cut off frequency should be an issue for a monitor. All the important information about timing etc is carried by the mids and so long as the monitor carries everything above 120Hz I think that'd be fine. In any case the deep bass from your cab is Omni directional so the drummer would hear that. The problem is the speaker handling a lot of bass without distorting. You could use a filter but that makes it complex which won't be the solution you are looking for. One solution did pop up though. DJKit were offering the Wharfedale Titan 8 for little money this week, that's the passive but it occurred to me that the active one at around £180 would maybe do what you want, and it is stand mounted. 119dB spec so it'd drown out the drums if needed and the speakers are electronically protected from mis-use http://www.wharfedalepro.com/product-detail.php?pid=3

The Octabass also tends to one of the cheapest options on the used market, and the older ones are potentially more reliable too, at least in my unfortunate experience of the studio edition!

My favourite is using the word "custom" on what is obviously the most bog standard encore/ Westfield... Etc.

one of the best basses I've ever played, lovely tone,but I've got too many basses so it's got to go........well shouldn't you be selling one of your other basses then?

On the same subject - can you retrospectively react to posts from pre-new-site-changeover? If so, thanks a bunch admins. I'm now going to have to go back through all the posts on this site and like the ones I liked at the time but couldn't react to them. There goes my week. Great.

What is reputation??

In that case, you've now got 16.

I liked one of your posts When you get a positive reaction to a post your reputation goes up, they do have the option of negative reactions but that didn't really seem in the BC spirit!

I’ll sell you some. Meet me round the back.

Learn the basic chord structure of the song first with intro, verse, chorus etc then put in some passing notes and the twiddly bits and you will get the song up and running more quickly than a linear note for note approach. When you get to a live performance the drummer will increase the speed by 20% and all the fancy bits that you practiced will go out the window anyway.

Pleased to be back at last, after trying all the usual stuff and my son trying all he knows, couldn't get at all until about 10 minutes ago. It'll take me a while to find my way around I'm sure Cheerz, John

"I know I'm gonna regret this............" We don't care

The age old problem is that these things are subjective. Also change is hard, change management is even harder. My subjective opinion is that the design is cleaner, clearer and easier to read

Ahhh, so it's those pesky hamsters again!

Yes that's right, we're on it - sorry. Should be alright soon once the hamsters are back in their wheel!

Yes, I used to do that previously using the desk top version instead of the mobile version. Worked a treat, as it does now.

Hi Andy, For PUPs think about DiMazio Split P and a KiOgon loom with old stock Spragg cap. Really great range of tones with warm, lush lows. The DiMarzio Jazz PUP is really well matched as it is a split coil and removes some of the output loss associated with single coil Jazz PUPs in P/J configurations . Great project the bass looks handsome, Well Done!

Thanks guys

Thanks guys. There’s still some bits to adjust but we’re getting there. The positive vibes help massively and I know I speak for @charic too, who has done all the work (all I do is boss him about) Think is time for bed now. Night all!

Brand new. Never been played.

It's because "plays like cabbage" doesn't sound as good.

Thanks guys!

Yes, seconded. Top work.

Well look on the bright side, your username is perfect

I make my own cables from Van Damme cable and Neutrik plugs. I don't feel the need for anything else.

And this is maybe the second funniest (on this thread anyway!) "I also have a TKS H115 that I am equally happy with, but it is a bit more bulky. If I had to keep one and move the other on, it would be the Barefaced cab that stayed." ...Conan Conan, seriously GLWTS!

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1510046768' post='3403391'] @Happy Jack - not come across a Crazy 8, can you send me a link please? [/quote] http://www.barryaudiodesign.com/crazy-8s.html I believe that a number of firms manufacture these, presumably with small variations? Fascinating cabs. They have astonishing presence and reproduction for a very limited area ... they will NOT project to the back of a pub or drown out your drummer, but they make my DB sound exactly like itself only much louder. In a band backline + PA support environment, this is hard to beat.

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1507558723' post='3386330'] I have run into this before, but this one has beaten me. I have tried standing up and dancing with him. I have tried grabbing his foot and making it work on the pulse. I have given him basic drum tracks. Nothing is working, He is completely Disco-lexic (Copyright Happy Jack). Any ideas? [/quote] Your doing it all wrong, i feel bad that you have put him through this humiliating torture. Please try this. Put a large pan on his head and hit it with a big wooden spoon in time with some music. Its alot of work for £30 an hour, but at least it gets you to practice drumming at the same time
