    Welcome on board.

    Yay! Top beat box. A classic.

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1348398321' post='1813067'] Phosphor bronze is about the ultimate because its hard, and self lubricating. Ali is probably a bit soft and makes your fingers go black if you touch it much, although that depends on the alloy. [/quote] Phosphor Bronze will make your sweat turn green though.

    Pretty much, in fact I've just sold my last fretted bass this week. I'm in the position where I can pretty much do what I want (musically), so I opted for fretless as it's a more expressive, lyrical feel and sound. Occasionally I'll miss having frets (chord stuff and fast passages up the dusty end) but for the most part I carry on regardless. I still use all the effects that I ran on my fretted (Big Muff, Woolly Mammoth, envelope filters etc..) and the differentce is negligible, I am pretty heavy with my plucking hand though, so I can still get the 'string noise' that I need for rock stuff. \m/

    I fitted one of these ramps onto my bits P Bass - works a treat and if anything, gives me MORE attack! [attachment=118976:images-1.jpeg]

    They've also got this for shielding cavities... [attachment=118974:Product_Detail_Wk35S_3.jpg]

    I think the 'cut' for removing the head is slightly too high. Research leads me to believe that it should really have been sawn 17" (or so) closer to the body - roughly the 12th fret should do it.

    Animato, Lovetone Meatball and a Moog Murf. I've built a couple of clones (Noobie Hobbyist) but these are WAY out of my league.

    West Side Story wins by default.

    I used a bit of 'no more nails' to refit an errant fret (for shame) and that's been fine so far - very messy though. The best idea I've seen is to use contact adhesive and thinners, then use a craft knife to dribble it into the tiny gap between the fret and the board. Tried that too - very fiddly but smells wonderful.

    I'm always up for free stuff, but getting to AnkhMorpork is a bit of a stretch for at the minute - I'm based in Lancre.

    Yeah, I regret selling my VT2, but the VT1s are brill too.

    [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1348002027' post='1808062'] If you haven't sorted it out yet, and you can bring yourself tomorrow (Wednesday 19th) to the Comely Bank area of town, before 12.30pm, I can fix it for you in 5min. [/quote] Well done that man, and hooray for BC, we're awesome!

    I'm loving headphone amps at the moment. Tried a couple and my favourite two are the EHX [url="http://www.ehx.com/products/headphone-amp"]http://www.ehx.com/p...s/headphone-amp[/url] for stowing in my gig bag, but the best I've had is this monster: [url="http://www.davehallamps.co.uk/page29.html"]http://www.davehalla....uk/page29.html[/url] The Line in feature is really helpful for playing along to setlists for covers bands and it also covers all of my recording needs and does a lovely line in dirt too! Happy days. If you really want a a speaker then there's a chap selling a Roland Cube on here... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/186932-roland-bass-cube-30-fsft/page__fromsearch__1

    Yup, Behringer BDI was the first one I thought of too. There was one on here for sale last week for about £20.

    [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1347912027' post='1806619'] If the bassline has to be root and fifths to make a piece work as a cohesive performance, then so be it. [/quote] [i]Two[/i] notes?

    I thought this was going to be a 'Aren't all bass players into dungeon porn?' thread. Is that just me?

    crikey, how do you dimple epoxy?

    [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1347785760' post='1804823'] The Invitation compilation is fine but it is missing some real highlights. [/quote] (sigh) I thought it might be, shopping I go...
