Good evening, TDoB, and ... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167528] Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. There are more than a few here on the Continent (I'm in France, too, hence the '33' and '53'...), so you are far from alone.

Mark sent me a pair of bass pick-ups, to France, packaged with great attention, and received promptly. An excellent transaction, great flexibility; highly satisfied, and so highly recommended. Many thanks, lad. A definite 'thumb's up' from me.

If no-one tried out ridiculous stuff, they'd never be any progress..! That's how the very best get their 'tone' in the first instance..! All of your permutations above (and more...) are valid; the effect of each will be subtly different, and more suited to one person's taste or another. Plug 'em in, play around for a while, then decide. No, your questions are not unusual. You're entirely normal, but have confidence that there is no 'right' way for all. Only you can decide.

I'm a pragmatic, practical individual with very little, if any, imagination, and so looked no further than the end of my nose, and took the picture to be that of a G.A.S. mask.

I'm older than Blue. I'm not going to even listen to the clip, as, whatever the circumstances, the vocabulary used is not that which I'm prepared to support. If the bloke has no better than that to proffer, I'd suggest putting down his sticks for a while and getting a more complete education. It's not a question of music, nor passion, but of behaving as a human, especially towards others, whoever they are. Bad manners does not excuse bad manners. The bloke shows himself as an oaf. and an ignoramus. A real shame, as he [i]did [/i]have some qualities.

Good afternoon, Steve, and ... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167528] Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. Nice to see you finally made it here, despite your 'infidelity'. You're not alone; there are many here who play other instruments (I'm a drummer..! ).

[quote name='LZD56' timestamp='1465681764' post='3070235'] That's no good - it's left handed [/quote] A quick swap at the nut should fix that.

The Hofner's are fine, but not long-scale. My Verithin weighs... well, it just doesn't, but it's medium-scale. Is that too far 'out of the box'..? Eminently giggable; I've done loads. No good for 'slap', though.

This is our solution; the flight case is lined with shock-resistant foam. Gig over, and cooled down, we just slip the case top back on, turn the butterfly latches and away it's under the blue 'bits' box...

[quote name='Jecklin' timestamp='1465654511' post='3069987']...an excellent digital portable recorder for use with my good mics for finished product recordings. [/quote] I use a Fostex MR8-HD for this; 4 simultaneous tracks, for drums. I export by USB with a very ancient bit of Fostex software which causes no problems at all with Win-10, despite its age.

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1465655153' post='3069998'] Much obliged Dad. Is the 'share' text something other than the normal link, because I tried that without the 's' in 'https', but it didn't work. [/quote] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167485]

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1465647327' post='3069920']... If someone can make this embed work, I'd be very grateful. [/quote] [media]http://youtu.be/is0SGbUTh20[/media] Copy and paste the 'Share' text, but remove the 's' from 'https' at the text start.

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

[quote name='Prosebass' timestamp='1465602267' post='3069661'] Bugger, I remember watching a band called '7 Year Itch' and now I am confused as to which one I saw! [/quote] Ah yes; I've been following them from scratch.

Good evening, Col, and ... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167528] ... to the forum. Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. Nice to have you back.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1465589930' post='3069573']... Why people seem to think sustain is a desirable trait for a bass guitar has always baffled me, too. [/quote] Doesn't some music require long notes..?
