[quote name='Painy' timestamp='1466517020' post='3076419'] I'm hoping to beg a massive favour from a suitably technical BC'er if possible... [/quote] Have you tried a PM to our expert in this field, [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/7835-kiogon/"]KiOgon..[/url]? He would be my first port of call for such a project; he can only refuse, right..? Good luck with your project.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1466515697' post='3076402']... I meant a 4Ohm [b]AMP [/b]with a 2Ohm [b]CAB[/b] [/quote] In that scenario, you're in fire extinguisher territory. If an amp will accept 2 ohms without damage, the manufacturer would almost certainly make that very clear as a selling point. If they say 4 ohms minimum, then 4 ohms minimum it is. I'd make some exception for 'old school' valve amps with a 4 ohm setting, but even then I wouldn't try my luck for too long at high o/p levels. The short answer is 'No, it'll blow up the amp.' Sorry.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1466514589' post='3076390'] Out of interest, what would happen if someone used a 4ohm cab with the 2ohm version? Amp go bang? [/quote] Wired in series (OBBM can make up such a connection box...) it would be fine. Wired in parallel (as is the 'norme' with amps and cabs...), probably 'magic smoke'. I know of no bass amps that will accept a load of less than 2 ohms without complaint.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1466512760' post='3076348']... it's "left-handed" because it's been strung that way.... [/quote] To be fair, the jack plug is as for a 'lefty', too. Just sayin'. I'm a Hofner fan (I've several...), but won't be bidding on this, either.

Good evening, LN12, and ... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167528] Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

So you're now looking for a white one, eh..?

[quote name='randythoades' timestamp='1466430821' post='3075728']... Might have to wok through some YouTube vids on slapping... [/quote] Get 'cooking', then, eh..?

[quote name='Joebethell' timestamp='1466428937' post='3075707'] Just need to get it up to volume... [/quote] Be aware, if you're not already familiar with amps of this ilk, that they are a glazier's heaven. We use a Hiwatt 200w (4 x KT88...); eminently suitable for the disposal of D-Day bunkers when roused. Just sayin'.

[sharedmedia=core:attachments:167485] ... and I forgot to add 'Very nice rig, very nice basses.'

[quote name='Joebethell' timestamp='1466415836' post='3075579']...haven't figured out how to stop them flipping sideways on basschat [/quote] I find that using an external host (Imgur, for example...) solves all problems...

Wow.

It makes sense, I reckon, to go through chronologically, if one wishes to piece together the evolution and shifting band formations. Too many good numbers to just cherry-pick, so I'd recommend one different album every two days, with one day off in between, starting from the beginning. That's keep you busy for quite a while...

I've played drums far more than bass. Nowadays things are much more calm and I'd take BRX's expression; I compose, and play bass for my compositions when it's required.

I think that a great deal depends on the raw material being good quality stuff from the outset, preferably filmed expressly for the occasion. I'll humbly admit, though, that my very first attempt was a far cry from that above (and successive ones not much of an improvement, unfortunately..! ). It didn't stop me from posting some of them here, though, back in the 'Promotion for the Basschat Composition Challenge' days.

Just watched the two programmes on 'tube, and thoroughly enjoyed both the presentation and the content. Well edited, well paced, varied, nice 'patter' and some good live music. What's not to like..? T'will be interesting to follow to the finals (if they all come up on 'tube...). Yes, I got to recognise Wot from the previous posts here; nice one, lad.

I suppose if anyone's to say they don't like it, it's probably me. Still, if it's supposed to look shabby, maybe that's a result..? It looks like a good candidate for a refin, though.

Here is what a guitar information site has to say... [url="http://www.muzique.com/schem/fret.htm"]Fretboard Care ...[/url]

I thought this was about cabs, not heads..?

I've never treated any of my guitars or basses in fifty years; they don't seem to suffer much. I wipe 'em down after playing with a clean, dry cloth. I've very recently bought a bottle of Dr Duck's, and wiped down my Takamine with it just the other day; a first. Maybe it depends on climate or something, but I've never seen any instrument needing regular upkeep of the sort. Maybe I've just been lucky. Every time the subject comes up on t'web, I see a whole raft of contradictions concerning the composition of these oils. Some say one thing, some another; it's rare to find consensus. Mineral..? Vegetable..? Lemon..? Tru-oil..? Gun-stock..? Boiled..? Raw..? All have been touted somewhere by someone. I use nothing.
