  1. Black - cool Black n' maple -
  2. I can't afford not to; I'd go batshit crazy if I didn't.
  3. as above, it's easier to enforce if there is a written contract, plus it makes the teacher 'one of the good guys' if they choose to waive the cancellation fee at their discretion.
  4. If we're allowed DnB tunes then I nominate Brown Paper Bag by Roni Size. Staggeringly good bassline... http://youtu.be/cwI0gbGEyuI
  5. [quote name='Rabbie' timestamp='1407700640' post='2523191'] Do the people who use these samples then perform live with double bass on stage? (Pardon the obtuse question, but it is a genuine query as this style is a whole new world to me). [/quote] Dunno, if we're [i]really[/i] lucky they do. Sneaky (Fingathing) is a classically trained double bassist, so here's hoping!
  6. Damnit Twit! I thought I'd got rid of my 5string GAS, and you have to go and start a thread like this? Poor form sir, poor form.
  7. Last one, promise http://youtu.be/90NNU_Xyk-8
  8. Or anything with Sneaky on bass check out Manchester's 'Fingathing' http://youtu.be/vExmQUs2sOg
  9. How's about this for starters... http://youtu.be/NaIDj6vBEoU
  10. I tend to favour putting the 'cleanest' dirt box (overdrive) first, then building up to a fuzz at the end. Currently mine goes BB Bass Pre -> Blowerbox -> Coloursound Bass Fuzz. Nice and FEEEELTHY!!!
  11. [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1407590804' post='2522091'] BTW, wasn't it the Grateful Dead who expressly encouraged people to bootleg their concerts? [/quote] Primus did too. Their website used to have a 'Bootleg Barn' where fans were encouraged to upload their recordings. I seem to remember that the best ones received goodies from the band too.
  12. I'm in complete agreement with Mr Frampton. Why pay to see a live performance, only to watch it through a 2" screen? Ah, it's so that you've got an appalling memento of the occasion to share with people too tight to buy a ticket. Either that or you're more concerned that people you'll probably never meet know you were there, than you are with enjoying yourself and embracing the full live experience. It's just f***ing rude.
  13. +1. it's my 'go to' box for pretty much everything!

    KingBollock, I've just looked on the Alpha website at the specs for their 24mm pots and they're using M8 threads with a 0.75 pitch. http://www.alphapotentiometers.net/html/24mm_pot_11.html
  15. Sehr, sehr schön!
  16. having been a diehard Jazz fan for more than 8 weeks I find myself looking over the fence at what other rock and metal players use. They can't *all* be wrong. Can they?
  17. [quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1407408315' post='2520147'] he charges an extortionate amount for his products and keeps 35% of money paid to him when it turns out he's made something that doesn't fulfil the customer's request? [/quote] Even God only asks for 10%!
  18. £499? Seems reasonable when you consider that the gig bag is a Vivienne Westwood®.
  19. I had one of these years ago - upgrade the pickups and you've got yourself a SUPERB machine!

    [quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1407454930' post='2520833'] It has mids the connections are down at the bottom right Here's the schematic it's taken from. [url="https://sites.google.com/site/brianthornock/FET-2BSchemRevised.png"]https://sites.google...chemRevised.png[/url] The vero layout misses out the resistor on the supply (current limiting ?) and the bright switch. [/quote] Don't forget to bias those 201s properly - they're fussy buggers when it comes to current...

    If it's going in a 1U then you've got space for a 'Mids' knob, surely…?
  22. I don't mind a bit of Blur every now and then. Grolsch is quite passable too...

    Ouch yet wow!

    .010" on my SG, 0.045" on my basses. Happy days. Loud nights.

  25. [quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1406980939' post='2516406'] When doves cry - Prince [/quote] Nice!
