That makes sense, thanks for that.

I've seen reviews of their guitars that were more than enthusiastic, so I'd imagine the basses to be just as good for the price. Not much to lose, really.

There are only so many things to be done with 12-bar... ... ... and that's not one of them. Well titled, though; sloppy as heck. Not a fan, I'm afraid.

I tried to watch it, but rapidly had to skip through, hoping to stumble across the Good Bits. I got to the end first, though; no luck there. I'm just glad I didn't waste the whole length of it in 'real time'. Oh well; never mind.

You shouldn't be doing that with your foot. Next time use the club; that's what fan clubs are for.

No dispute here, but what about 'mislaid' goods..? Should the packaging be fluorescent day-glo orange..? Fitted with a GPS tracking device..? Pre-loaded with indelible die that'll stain the hands and face at any unauthorised opening of the packet..? Handcuffed to a wide-shouldered stern-faced Hire-A-Thug 'protector'..? Hmm...

Good evening, dadagoboi , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Good evening, ZD , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. I suppose we should really leave you to find out for yourself, but, to avoid future disappointment, and further expense, on your part, I feel duty-bound to disclose that you'll never get the trumpet sound you're striving for, even with all those pedals. Sorry to have to break it to you like that, but I think it's the kindest, in the long run. ...

Another faithful user of Flubber, obviously.

Good evening, BH , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

+1 for this ^^. A great read, and read again, and again...

Join the queue; we have a backlog of candidates.

Sounds like a problem with the venue wiring to me. A couple of brief anecdotes; events from a few decades ago..? I was installing the lighting fx in a brand new disco complex. Cabling stuff up under the dj console, I had an intuition. No reason for it; just thought it a Good Idea to test the side-by-side sockets I was going to use. Both read 220 volts, as they should, but I also decided to check the tension between them, and there was the surprise. They had been wired from different phases, and so had 380 volts between them..! Plugging connected stuff into both of these would have certainly 'fried' something, possibly the tech (me..!) or a DJ..! Why did I check this..? No reason, it was (up until then..!) not part of my routine; just a hunch. Lucky escape. Less so for my unfortunate brother, 'roadying' for a local variety band. Plugged in the PA into the house sockets, turned it on, and smoked it all. The sockets were unmarked, but were 380 volts, not 220. The stack of Peavey 800W PA amps blew, taking every single HP with them in the JBL 8 x 15 columns. No FOH for the show that evening, and it took me several weeks to firstly order and receive, then install, all the elements that had suffered; there were a lot. Moral of the stories..? Don't trust house wiring, ever. It's rare that it kills, but it only needs to be once...

This ^^ is easy to obtain, install and run. The six free fx are good, the others are reasonably priced. A Good Tip; thanks for sharing.

No, it's the top of the pop's beverages.

No, no; courage, old lad. As I progressively lose more and more of my auditory faculties, I appreciate more and more your vocal offerings. The Singing Postman had a career (of sorts...), so there's hope for us all, no..? I can't say I've found the key to voting success either, though, so don't listen to me. (No, I didn't mean 'Don't listen to my entry', you fool..! D'oh..! I give up..! )

What..? Without a pop filter..? How dare you..! I'll have you know (it's one of my many tightly-held secrets, but now that I'm provoked...) that that was recorded from the front face of a Sennheiser E609, carefully held by hand inside its protective soft case..! If that's not a pop filter, I don't know what is..! (Unless, of course, you're confusing 'Pop' with 'Dad'..! )

Doesn't count; he wants a work horse, not a wild cat. Maybe a Mustang..? Or a Rickie; many folks say it's a one-trick pony, which is close.

... as is my cornet playing. I'm flattered. On second thoughts, I might just try it, as a challenge to self. Don't wait up, though. Hmm... Have I any spare wax cylinders..? [ Potters off, rubbing a furrowed brow until the twinges get too bad, then turns back to put the kettle on. 'Now then, what was I going to go upstairs for..? Something to do with cornets..? Hmm...' ] Edit: @MoonBassAlpha OK, the deed is done. Don't blame me; blame 'im there... (points wildly around, trying to focus tired eyes...)

Fixed.

Broncho.

Given the choice, I'd have preferred Mr Astley, I think. (Although, having looked up who he is, it's a close-run race....)

That's more like it..! I'd be interested in a bass like that.It's getting closer to the Rob Allen styling, which, from me, is high praise. I'll pass on the wallpaper, though. My Dad would paste up similar patterns in the living room. It's the stuff of nightmares. Pop art..? Not for me, thanks.
