Nah, it's just a pathetic cliched insult thrown around by (usually) right wing pseudo-macho keyboard warrior types in a fit of pique at their inability to deal with the rapidly changing modern world, which they perceive as threatening their way of life, their fragile little egos, and ultimately their complete lack of self worth. It probably gives them a little frisson of excitement when the say it, they may even become mildly aroused and as they verbally lay into someone they perceive as being less tough than them, in the same way they probably enjoyed pulling the wings off flies when they were an unhappy child. That's the problem I have with it.6 points

When people say tried and tested Stingray do they mean the slab three-bolt, the contiured four-bolt, the contoured six-bolt 2eq, the contoured six-bolt 3eq or the slab six-bolt 2eq? The Stingray has been continually improved since it was released, not one of them has been a let down. These are smart refinements by a company who don’t usually get it wrong, why such groundless negativity when none of us have even played one yet? Silly.4 points

It's been suggested that we get the site's profanity filter amended to turn the hackneyed and frankly boring 'snowflake' into something more innocuous and daft. I think it's a great idea, because quite frankly I am sick of the sight of that bloody word.3 points

None here, either. I'm not keen on any notices at all, in fact.2 points

I have a Line 6 Sonic Port, and have managed to get the latency down so it’s not an issue (and I’m sensitive to it like you). Most audio apps have latency settings in the menus but they usually adjust have fairly generic descriptions like high, medium and low. I discovered a trick however where you can drop it as low as 64 samples (1.5ms at 44.1kHz) if you run Audiobus with your chosen app inside it! You adjust the latency within Audiobus then everything gets locked to that setting. The Zoom is much less faffing about though, but the iOS route is worth considering if you hadn’t thought of it before, especially since you’ll be able to record with it.2 points

Oddly enough all the people I know who use the term (and by extension go on long protracted rants about soft lefties and how we need to take our country back etc.) are usually overweight middle aged blokes who couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag and would be blowing out of their @rse running up a flight of stairs. Maybe the hyper-macho posturing is compensating for something?2 points

People who use the term "snowflake" probably also say "Twenty four seven" (5 syllables) instead of "All the time" (3) and refer to inanimate objects as "bad boys".2 points

I went to see Public Service Broadcasting last year and they do a thing before the show starts; they played a pre-recorded thing saying 'a few photos is fine, but no one really wants to watch your blurry, distorted camera phone footage.' This met with a huge cheer. It was almost as if that statement simply ridiculed the proposed usage...I saw one or two people taking stills, but that was about it.2 points

Please feel free to delete this but it's good information from years of trading: There must be quite a few sales lost on here because people are unwilling or unable to ship. First I'll address packing a bass, if you don't have a suitable box then go to your local bike shop and ask them for a bike transport box. These things are used to ship expensive bikes from the Far East and are really tough as people who've bought from me will testify. They need cutting down to about half of their height and yes it's a bit of a mess on but if it gets you a sale? You'll also need brown packing tape, a sharp stanley type knife and newspaper to scrunch up around the bass. This is very effective. If your bass is in a hardcase then you can even just cut some smaller boxes up and wrap the case up in them. Couriers: When a seller says "you can arrange your own courier" they don't seem to realise that you have to pay twice to do it that way. Once for the trip to collect it and once for the delivery so twice the cost to the buyer. This is just being lazy imo, all you need to do is fill a form in on Interparcel's site, pay with a card and prices with UPS start at £6.99 + vat!! Very cheap. What I'm saying to sellers is, put yourself out a bit and show willing, yes it's a bit of a hassle but if you get a sale so what? feel free to shoot me down in flames. Or pin this. Have a great day!

Up for sale is my stunning 1988* Warwick Streamer Stage 1. Hand made in Germany. Now includes a hard case for safer shipping and price dropped to £850. shipping is £12.50 to mainland UK, £35 to most of EU, £55 to most of the rest of the world. Includes full insurance and tracking. There is no serial number on this so it is impossible to age it precisely but talking to various people on here who are very knowledgeable on all things Warwick it could have been made as early as '86 and as as late as 88' so ive gone for the 88' to be safe - also, from what I saw of the bass when it was being stripped, the woods looked identical to those on this '88 Streamer Stage 1( making it maple body with a wenge/maple neck): https://reverb.com/uk/item/2569081-rare-vintage-warwick-streamer-stage-1-1988-aguilar-on-board-preamp-emg-p-j Professionally refinished in a stunning gloss white by local luthier who also repaired the minor neck crack(which is a typical bug bear of these older pre-volute Warwicks from what I know - see the reverb ad above - the crack is almost identical!). This bass is all original except for the battery box which is a replacement from Warwick, the output jack, the pre-amp and pots (which are almost brand new MECs from a Warwick Fortress (the pre is a 2 band act/pass, bass, treb afair)). The frets were leveled and crowned by the same local luthier as well and it has received a full setup and new d'addario strings. The frets are down to about 50% from what I can see - see photos. Truss rod and electronics work perfectly! Neck profile and relief/action details (as best I can measure): Width @ nut 40mm Width @ 12th Fret 55mm Width @ 24th Fret 62mm Depth(front to back measured from fretboard) @ nut 23mm Depth @ 12 fret 23mm Depth @ 19th fret (before it joins the body) 27mm Relief(meaured at 7th fret with string fretted @ 1st and @ 20th frets) : 0.15" / 0.381mm Action @ 24th Fret 2.5mm - 1.75mm E - G Specs to the best of my knowledge: Maple body, wenge/maple neck, 24 bell brass frets, Mother Of Pearl dots front and side, brass Just a Nut I, solid brass Warwick 3D bridge, Schaller machine heads, Schaller straplock buttons, Warwick/MEC 2 band(bass and treble) EQ with active/passive with push pull volume. Weight is a very comfortable 4kg according to the kitchen scales though I swear it feels much lighter. The brass hardware including the screws, knobs, bridge nut etc. were all a heavily tarnished gold finish when I first got the bass so I shot blasted to reveal what i think is a pretty cool nickel looking colour. Paint finish is rather nice with only some minor blemishes on the front of the headstock that you can only see on very close inspection and the repaired neck crack is still visible under the paint as shown in the photos. The only other blemishes are the scratches on the cavity cover and the original varnish on the side of the fretboard is peeling away in some places but this cannot be felt underhand. I'm based nr Dudley, West Midlands Now includes a used but perfectly functional hardcase for safe shipping within the UK. If you need it shipping internationally I can add a brand new flight case at cost(£65) for safe international shipping.1 point -

Hi Folks Up for sale our Behringer X Air 18 Digital Mixer, also comes with a notebook loaded with the software, so essentialy plug n play ready. Im after £450 which is about £100 off new plus we'll throw in the tablet which cost £50. Its about a year old, done about 30 gigs no problems, in very good condition. Reason for selling? Well, we're a pretty straightforward rock 3 piece and this is beyond our comfort zone, there's a lot of possibilities here that we don't have the time or patience to master so we want to go back to analogue desks, all we need is a little reverb on the vocals and thats it, this does a whole, whole lot more. Willing to shift a little on the price but please no p*ss taking! Thanks for looking!1 point -

Sure thing Haz, but i'd better mention that the free postage is for the UK. Having said that, if you decide you want them, i'll find out the cost of postage to the Netherlands and then reduce that by the cost of UK postage. For example, if the cost to NL was £20, i can reduce that by say, £3, the cost of posting in the UK. PS i just grabbed £20 out of the air. I would expect it to cost you less than that.1 point -

Don't forget the built in effects - rapidly opening and closing it to produce a wah wah (says it in the instructions!). Also the eq settings (open the amp for a more trebly tone). They do sound amazing for guitar it has to be said.1 point -

Any excuse to put this out there again. The bass groove that David Dyson sets up at 2.38 is as funky as I've ever heard (and I've shamelessly nicked it whenever possible).1 point

Great cab, I have two of them. One on its own easily does decent size gigs with a decent amp of course.1 point -
Here's how I've used the filter with a bass. Delay into particle reverb into filter. A wise move. Depends how you want to use octave/pitch effects. I find Helix pitch effects a bit glitchy. They are not polyphonic either if that's what you want. I have Micro POG and Pitch Fork in send/return loops and they work very well with it.1 point

When it comes to the funk, there's really only (the) one for me...the entire P-Funk universe. The P-funk collective covered all bases & spawned a whole load more over the years. I just love em, never more so than when they're just being plain old Parliament and Funkadelic. Parliament Funkadelic1 point
