  1. [quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1357408161' post='1922298'] [b] What's the appeal of a fretless?[/b] Mwaahaha [/quote] This ^. I think it's just a more expressive instrument, also I like the slightly softer attack on each note; My right hand technique really 'digs into' the strings, so not having any frets helps to eliminate the 'clankiness' that I get on fretted basses.
  2. Bonzo / JPJ Les Claypool / Tim "Herb" Alexander Charles Mingus / Danny Richmond Paul Chambers / Philly Joe Jones Geddy Lee / Neil Peart Justin Chancellor / Danny carey
  3. Nice pëüddål board!
  4. Love my Hydrive 410 - just sounds 'right'.
  5. I once had some trousers with velcro instead of a fly zip or buttons. That's not relevant, I'm just saying.
  6. I seem to recall that the only authorised UK repair centre for Ampeg are these chaps: http://www.panicmusic.info/index.html
  7. No worries, just post it to me and I'll do some... ;-)
  8. Definite outcomes or targets. Makes it easy to measure how far you've come or to highlight areas for development.
  9. the 'Toby' chap looks like he's [i]making[/i] a stool.
  10. [quote name='Ashwood1985' timestamp='1357165603' post='1918649'] (DUDE! I just noticed your R2D2 mug avatar! Already googled it and will probably order the bleepin little bad boy! Gas for robotic china ha!) [/quote] 'twas my 'BC secret santa' virtual christmas present.
  11. [quote name='DHA' timestamp='1357201597' post='1918904'] Most of it you can't hear but these high and low frequency harmonics have an effect on the tones "fat" sound, just makes it sound [s]richer[/s] frickin' awesome. [/quote] Fixed
  12. sound clips?
  13. powered the digital pedal from the TU3. Sorry, wasn't really clear in my post.
  14. I use a separate supply for my VT1EQ. I [i]can[/i] run it daisy chained from my one spot (with an inverter), but that's only 9v. The only time I've had 'buzz' issues was with a digital pedal (EHX Freeze), so I used the 9v feed from a Boss TU3 and that sorted it; must be them magic buffers... I find that old style 'transformer' supplies are cleaner than newer 'switch mode' ones, but that's just me.
  15. [quote name='risingson' timestamp='1356979026' post='1916056'] It does, but then is is surprising that we should be surprised about popular music being massively image conscious? I thought it was kind of obvious really! [/quote] Pop music has always been about looks. Maybe I should give it a go, as I'm fecking loverly.
  16. Just finished one of these - tiny little compressor to go on the board in a loop before the Q-tron. Surprisingly good! [IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/ReallyCheapBassCompressor.png[/IMG] I got the diagram from the http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.co.uk very clean, virtually noise-free compressor. Total price is less than a tenner.
  17. [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1356847383' post='1914251'] No. I won't show you my purple monstrosity... [/quote] Thanks for that. (sighs of relief all round)
  18. It's a while since I did this with a band, but I seem to remember starting 'the run' with my little finger on the B on the E string (7th fret) and moving to the A string for the next note.
  19. Another +1 for these little gizmos. Perfect size for your gigbag and a lovely sounding amp too.
  20. just gone for the live album - will check him out later on today.
  21. Nice 'tron.

    BC Awards 2012

    I'll nominate myself for the most selfless BC'er - oh no, I've just spoiled it!
  23. y'know, if you take the frets off you can tweak it down a bit more...
  24. Nobody's mentioned 'Moondance yet'? 'Lovecats' by the Cure has a nice little walking interlude - well, more 'stretching your legs' than walking, but it works perfectly.
  25. looks like a pearly king who got mugged by button-nutters.
