'tain't mine sir, short trousers in the house? I think not - quite the sartorial faux pas.

Warwick? Warwick my anus! points for trying though.

Alright then you 'orrible lot, who's responsible for [i]this[/i]? [media]http://youtu.be/SV7TFje7Ido[/media]

[quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1334610484' post='1618634'] So basically, if you guys could only have two basses, you would have a four and a five? [/quote] That's me - fretless 4 and a fretted 5. I often think about consolidating/upgrading to just a 5 string fretless, but common sense always seems to get the better of me.

been past it a couple of times. I always assumed it was vacant...

I'm an advocate of 'less is more' when it comes to miking up a kit. If the drummer's [i]really[/i] fussy and starts to threaten physical violence then I'll use four. Great track by the way, the world needs more octaved fretless basslines.

cheers for the heads up, I would have missed it too.

what's the going rate for international sporting spectacles? Someone thought we'd do it for free, but I thought I'd check on here first...

[quote name='Johngh' timestamp='1334509745' post='1617025'] Hope the sound quality is better than the DVD, it's dire. I watched the DVD last night [/quote] Check the sound settings in the DVD menu - apparently it was coded wrong. By default it goes to Dolby 5.1 (IIRC) instead of 2.1 stereo.

I've just spent 2 hours or so listening to Zep albums (mainly "BBC sessions") off the back of this thread and yes, Bonzo was a monster! I'm a huge Rush fan too, so in Neil's defence what he does with Rush is perfect for them, but probably out of place in Zep. Similarly Bonham wouldn't be as effective a drummer in a band like 'Rush'. Horses for courses really.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1334443872' post='1616364'] Yeah I like Jazz basses but they'd be better with one volume and a blend wouldn't they? [/quote] What, like a Blade?

Alright then, invade Morecambe!

Just 'won' this on the 'bay. Suffice to say I'm very excited... [IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/DVAVT1.jpg[/IMG] I've had a VT2 EQ before this and it was a bit much, so I mistakenly moved it on and regretted it fairly soon after. Happy days again. Ooooooohhhhh.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1334363816' post='1615360'] by the way those Blades are killer instruments [/quote] Yeah, I bought it 'on spec' after playing my tutor's at Uni a few years previous. Fell in love with it the day it arrived and were it not against God's holy law, i'd make it my wife.

firstly it's the feel of the neck - neither of mine (Bitsa Jazz and Blade 5 string) are high-glossed, and I'm much happier with that. They sound great too, but I've gone the opposite way about it than you -John East press all the way baby. I can dial in 'my sound' no matter what amp I'm using. They've both got at the lovely 'growl' in spades too. . Excuse me, I must go and play one of them...

what sort of stuff is it for, and what do you already have?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1334314066' post='1614252'] Or 'one lady owner - vicar's wife'... [/quote] ...I could tell you a tale - I'm going to the bad fire for sure.

I reckon it's the other way around - a 'P' bass has a noticeable hump in the midrange, so it is more apparent in most mixes, the Jazz has an inbuilt 'mid-scoop' due to the phasing of the pickups. All of this can be altered/changed outboard with amps, effects, wang, EQ etc... The big difference as a player is that the neck on a 'P' bass is a bit fatter, with the Jazz necks traditionally having a slimmer profile.

[quote name='peteb' timestamp='1334311119' post='1614157'] Nothing wrong with a guitarist being a Malmsteen fan - if you listen to him, Yngwie is a breathtaking player and actually very musical.... [/quote] If you like Bach compositions played too fast; the Liverpool Phil does the same thing...

yup, definitely like the second more than the first. Great idea.

[quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1334273050' post='1613802'] I'm aiming to get 6 micro pedals (1590A format) onto a pedaltrain nano so mine will be somewhat smaller than that [/quote] small, but beautiful.

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1334177248' post='1612251'] It has no right to be this good: [/quote] fixed! Goblin cock - they're on my list.
