  1. My mum always said I talk too much
  2. The closest Cerberus Cell ever got to a crusade was going into every computer based shop we could find in cambridge (virgin media etc etc..) and changed the browsers to our bands site then left again. Got a few extra likes that day though
  3. If the song is already recorded then what's the point of recording the song as part of the prize?
  4. Take a water pistol, it works for cats
  5. [quote name='Rich' timestamp='1343804094' post='1755337'] Anybody -- rhythm guitarist, drummer, bassist, nose flute player, [i]anyone[/i] -- who joins a band and immediately throws his weight around with his bandmate(s) needs to be shown the door. Ideas fine, but instant criticism? Bum's rush time. EDIT - if you have a Jackson or BC Rich bass then the answer is definitely to do it [/quote] Beat me too it If you actually have him come back again and he starts it again then mention at a part of a track that he should try not playing because it sounds better (or creates a sense of space). If he actually does it then tell him he should do it more often
  6. Epic drumroll! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7TzWrKso4I"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7TzWrKso4I[/url]
  7. Or hold ctrl and scroll mousewheel
  8. Looking great Entered competition too, usually get swing bass strings but I went for PSD's as experimenting can be pricey!
  9. Love the colour personally but not the shape Would I own it? Yep, if it played well and the neck wasn't too skinny. Would I pay that much for it? Personally, no... but not because it's not worth it (far from) just because it's not worth that much to me (and I have no cash atm).
  10. Agree with the above comments but... don't think you should change your name. The essence of basschat is that you become known by your username (mostly).
  11. Thanks for clearing that up No-one knows me so don't bother offering me an endorsement if you're expecting to make a return (yet )
  12. [quote name='gilmour' timestamp='1343590111' post='1752484'] I'm pretty sure Dawsons have a 2 for 1 deal on the TC cabs. (although I didn't like the sound of them so much - but that's all done to personal preference). [/quote] This is usually the budget range rather than the RS range
  13. These are good amps [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/167175-ampeg-ba115-combo-l150/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/167175-ampeg-ba115-combo-l150/[/url]
  14. I'd also say keep an eye out for anything Line6... but someone will probably disagree with me
  15. Interesting choice of shape Be very interesting to see what it looks like "on"
  16. Is there any thread where you can NOT mention Seashell?
  17. Dick Venom & The Terrortones : Endorsed by Ford
  18. [quote name='mike257' timestamp='1343636955' post='1752830'] More lovely work mate, well done. I remember laying the new wooden floor in the studio I was assistant engineer at back in my teens - cut and planed all the reclaimed wood ourselves, and then, being the lowest ranking fella (there was only me and the boss!) I got the lovely, dust covered job of pushing the giant sander round the floor all day. Grim, stinky, and for weeks I was finding sawdust in places you'd never imagine you could get it! Great to see the control room taking shape, makes it feel like things are finally coming together. Just realised that this thread has been running since early 2009, must be the longest running build thread BC has ever had! [/quote] Possibly beat by Mr Shuker (joke!) ..actually when did Kiwi send his guitar to get sorted, I think Jon still has that
  19. [quote name='TomRichards' timestamp='1343601143' post='1752674'] I don't lump all players in this category, as the majority are good citizens. I have experienced, of late, that there is a rising lot that are starting this trend. There is a difference in endorsement levels, but the statement that we in the industry look the other way for the big guys is actually the opposite. Yes, I did a little rant here, but when I was active as a player in the 70's thru the 90's most of us were very respectful of our endorsers, and endorsements were very hard to come by. This recent crew has just been more blatant then I've ever seen. If your deal is exclusive, and I give you several basses and spend oodles of time working on them to get them to your liking, and I also provide you with tour support, you better be using my stuff. Ok, I'll chime out now. Not a problem. Just a warning, especially if you are seeking out endorsements. And there really is an understanding among all the makers. tom [/quote] No need to back out Tom, this is a very interesting read. I agree completely that if the terms of the endorsement state 'exclusive' then I would be kicking up a fuss (and possibly making an example of one or two offenders, terminate contract and reclaim endorsement). Out of interest is it more common to endorse a band or artist? For example if a bassist plays in two different bands, would they usually be expected to play your gear in both?
  20. The std corvette sounds great with a pick! Although its a shame you're not closer, for that Warwick sound + something a bit special my ACG sounds great! Although I did base the build on a Warwick slightly
  21. I can't think of many bass companies I would agree to be exclusive too. Maybe acg or Shuker as they are instruments to spec. Amps/cabs on the otherhand I could see it more easily. Keyboards, defo!
  22. And black blocks! Or stickers... Actually if I win the lottery I might get it and relic it
  23. I use 2 of the RS210 cabs and am very happy with it coupled with my RH450
  24. Not just a US term I came across it regularly during my Music Tech course Helps stop hum in that particular case btw
