Definitely not a belt. Absolutely not. My pen-pal "Earl" bought one of these and it was too small. [IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/images-1.jpg[/IMG] It's not a belt though.

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1339675595' post='1692441'] ... when practising at home on a Penderecki piece that he's gonna conduct himself, you teach yourself two versions: the real one and one a fifth higher or lower, just to test if he'll hear it. (Yes, true story again) PS, he does. I [b]know[/b]. [/quote] Really? I love Penderecki's stuff!

Your college library installs fingerprint ID instead of barcode scanning and your fingertips are too smooth to work (true story).

Is there a switch anywhere that says pre/post - it may be that you're telling the mixer to bypass the faders i.e. selected output is PRE fade - faders appear not to work, or POST fade - faders do the do. Sorry if that sounds a bit condescending but it's the only thing I can think of and I'm not familiar with this particular desk. Just had a look at the manual - check your PFL (pre-fade listen) buttons.

The problem with 2 4x10s instead of a single 8x10 is that you have twice as much lifting to do. Although, in their defence, 4x10s are half as heavy.

OR you could ignore everything that's been posted so far and just buy a Gibson EB-0 with the infamous 'mud-bucker' pickup set up against the neck.

You can't feel anything through the pads on your fingertips.

Thanks for that sliddx, I love reading Neil's (rare) interviews; he's a lovely little thinker and really humble too.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1339411750' post='1687962'] You need Davis Baker's three books on Bebop (How To Play Bebop 1, 2 & 3). That'll do it (they aren't expensive). All the pther books are narrative and not likely to give you what you want. The Baker books are great (you can also get them on Kindle if you want but the musical examples are not good/too small on the Kindle and should only be used if you are reading them on a PC). [/quote] Thanks for the tip Bilbo, Amazon have books 2 and 3 as kindle downloads, but not the first. Do you have any links to where to buy the first one?

You know, you can make a bass sound REALLY fat by playing just a little bit softer with your plucking hand - that's traditional.

Clockwork Angels - latest release from Rush.

You need 3 sheds full of nazi memorabilia, facial hair and a huge wart. I reckon that'll do it.

Never played any high end basses apart from an Alembic once, wasn't for me. I ain't played a Wal or a Stingray but to be honest, I'm in love with Jazzes and am quite happy to stay there.

I'm a man. But back when I was a girl I wouldn't have touched that with a 6' bargepole. Awful! Kill it with fire!

meh, I'd add Adam Clayton to this list but I can't be arsed.
