    If it's a brand new neck then chances are it's not drilled for the neck bolts, so as long as it's the standard width (either 63 or 64mm, I can't remember off the top of my head) and it's got the same end shape (slight radius or square) then you'll be fine.

    Which driver are you running? It seems there is a problem with an earlier USB driver (Novation 2.3), and later releases (2.5 and 2.7) addressed this.

    I'm looking for a one-stop-box to let me record guitar parts (alt/prog rock and occasionally metal) in my Pro Tools rig. My Macbook Pro is slowly getting to the point where it's not fast enough to run amp simulation software alongside IR reverbs, EZ Drummer and other general production tools, so I'm looking to process the guitars 'out of the box' and just track them in PT. The Vox Stomplab caught my eye, I just wondered whether anybody had any experience of them, or could suggest anything better for a similar budget? I figured that instead of having to bounce every guitar track I might as well get the sound right and then record it, instead of fannying about in mix down (one of my pet hates).

    Jockey Wilson was actually petrified of horses.

    Deleted Post. The Metric Miles Davis gag has already been done.

    Bass legend Paul Chambers preferred playing solid bodied guitars.

    Another vote for Neutriks from me. If you're going to spend time and money building something, particularly for live use, then quality wins every time. Buy cheap, buy twice.

    SOLD Up for sale is one of my modified Big Muff (Ramsbottom Fuzz) pedals - I made a couple. True bypass, and enhanced bass response (without being overly woolly), and a reduced mid 'scoop' to help you cut through in the mix without losing the flattering tone of the traditional Muff. [url="http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/83e45d20-49de-4bfd-bd0a-624b1cfd4c00_zps4op1ofqt.jpg.html"][/url] Knobs are for volume, drive and tone, in the style of the original. Mains only, as there's no room for a battery inside the case. Sound samples are here: [url="https://soundcloud.com/paul_5/sets/ramsbottom-fuzz"]https://soundcloud.c...ramsbottom-fuzz[/url] Price includes Postage and Packing.

    Never had any problems with anything from Dave Hall. I've had solid state stuff as well as the valve kit and it's always been ticket boo. Never had an LS-2 though, so couldn't possibly comment. Sorry.

    I agree with the majority on this one. NYE is a time to be with family and friends, and to let your hair down. If you're out working then your pay for the night should adequately compensate your inability to do this. Free beer is a con - I can personally name 2 gigging musicians who don't drive, and for whom this might be an attraction. Fortunately they know the value of a pound in your pocket, and don't gig for nowt. Same reason I don't do charity gigs - everyone else gets paid for their time and effort, musicians are no different; we still have to eat/pay mortgages/maintain gear/pay for school shoes etc...the sooner venues realise this, the better the world will be.

    I try to practice everyday - meaning I'll run the sets of my regular band (iPod playlists) or work on my walking or right hand technique, but actual rehearsal (playing with the band) happens once a month or less. We all live in different parts of the country (Leicestershire, Lancashire, Manchester and the Fylde coast), so all getting together to rehearse is a bit of a logistical nightmare. On the plus side though, everyone does their homework, and we plug in and we're pretty much gig-ready in an hour or two.

    The album with 'Trash' on it is called 'Coming Up', and it's magnificent.

    I'd say have a go yourself. There's loads of diagrams available on the internet to show which wires go where - one of the most useful is this one: Basses are about half way down the page... [url="http://www.buzzardsbass.com/electronics/wiring/diagrams.html"]http://www.buzzardsb...g/diagrams.html[/url] There aren't any dangerous voltages or currents at play, and it's a brilliant way to dip your toe in the waters of DIY 'fettling'.

    Ooh, that Stage Fright looks awesome! Just got to find 3 more lm13700 chips, I used my last one building a filter based on the FX25.

    [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1439451632' post='2842886'] It's all over the place, but IIRC the main riff is in 7/8, then it moves to 5/4 for the F#-E section and then 4/4 for the guitar solo. [/quote] Oh yeah. It's in 7. I always thought it a shame that Gilmour didn't play a solo over the 7 bit. Cop out!

    'Midnight Hour' (again for arpeggios) and 'A Kind Of Magic' by Queen - just to demonstrate what a major 6th sounds like.

    We've got 2 guitarists in my metal band - one has a Gibson Explorer into a JCM800 head (practically a second bass player) and the other has a G&L Telecaster into a 100 Watt Peavey head. Much more clarity from the 2nd guitarist. They work well together though, as we can always tell what each instrument is doing.

    This. Just to highlight general bass awesomeness!
