  1. I wouldn't even get on stage if there was a stool on it. Dirty bastards.
  2. Dunno, w It's got a horrible, nasty, spluttery/gatey/spitty sort of sound to it - you can see why they put a blend on it! Mine's mounted in the same box as my Colorsound Bass Fuzz clone so I can switch between dirty sounds really easily.
  3. Still more expensive than a Behringer BDI-21 though...
  4. got some HOT 'buckers for the SG and both of my basses are active; it's all good!
  5. So anyways, a load of MPSA14 darlington transistors arrived today. Scramblers ahoy!
  6. I did this to a 'Yamato' headstock that I wanted to fit 'proper' size machine heads to. I dowelled and glued the original holes and then marked out and drilled new holes (wood awl) and the job was a good 'un. It looks a bit weird, as the dowel is pine and the head is maple, but I reckon if it bothered me that much I'd get some veneer / paint on it. It's my 'stay at home' bass, so there's no issue.
  7. Not seen this, so thanks for posting the link - I'll have to have a 'butchers' when I get some down time in the house. I was just listening to 'Axis: Bold as Love' this morning and was asked to turn it off. Now I'm sad.
  8. I've never had any issues with Melodyne but like you, I try to avoid it. "if it's not right, then do it again"
  9. Don't play. I don't want bass playing to be a chore. If I've got gigs or stuff coming up then I'll make sure I really hunker sown to it, but I've got definite targets in situations like that, and it's easier (for me) to put the hours in.
  10. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1369854038' post='2093605'] If you remember how cheap these were when they were sold new, you probably wouldn't be surprised at all! [/quote] £40 for my first one - brand new from Johnny Roadhouse in Manchester - many, many moons ago.
  11. DC power sockets on these can be a bit tricky, as I seem to remember it's something quirky like a positive ground. Fitting the socket is easy enough, but wiring it up so that it does't buzz can be a bit of a minefield...
  12. I'd say DHA VT1. Might be slightly bigger footprint than you're after but it's WELL worth the size. They're the canine's testicles! I think they a use 500mA supply, but the 1spot delivers 1700mA, so that shouldn't be a problem. Newer ones use centre negative, but the older ones use centre positive, this one should see you right... http://www.davehallamps.co.uk/page55aa.html
  13. Ace! Thanks for wasting massive amounts of my time.
  14. Wow. Who [i]wouldn't[/i] want to be married to a bassist though? We're sooooo goddamn sexy, good with our hands and can keep a steady rhythm... ...oh, and we know how to set up the PA too!
  15. Probably. Some of my best friendships have been formed with band members. I'm not in bands with them anymore but we're still great mates.
  16. The wiring loom inside those old Russian Muffs is notoriously thin stuff. It could be a dry joint, the pot could be dicky or (worst case) the gossamer-thin wire needs replacing. I might have some pots in my man-shed taken from a Russian Muff if you'd like me to have a wee look?
  17. Brilliant stuff chaps - I've really enjoyed all of the entries this month (as always). It was a [i]really[/i] close one to call this time.
  18. Gott in Himmel, das is über tat und keine mistake!
  19. Brilliant thread and responses. Really hope this manages to get Steve's attention.
  20. [quote name='clauster' timestamp='1369669034' post='2091389'] The RE20 is a digital pedal if I'm not mistaken. This MAY need it's own power source or an isolator if you want to avoid noise. [/quote] This. I use a 1spot for most of my pedals, but when I used to put a EHX Freeze pedal on the board it whined like a convicted politician. However, if I powered it (and nothing else) with the '9v out' feed from my Boss TU3 then it was lovely and quiet. Digital pedals can be very fussy about PSU chains.
  21. [quote name='Pestie' timestamp='1369641417' post='2091031'] Where are you please? Thanks Mike(Pestie) [/quote] +1
  22. [quote name='2x18' timestamp='1361104944' post='1981053'] Forum Rules --You need to state a price, even for trades! [/quote] Yup, true dat. Probably abut £350 - £400. Anybody in the NW (Manchester way or close) got a Hydrive 112 and is prepared to let me pop round and have a wee play?
  23. I remember transcribing this when I was learning to play - THAT was an evening well spent.
