  1. [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1321727203' post='1442512'] ? My view shows most votes being on the "Deactivate all" line... [/quote] Both the top 2 are in favour of the system. Therefore together they outweigh the neggs
  2. FWIW I seem to remember way back when, before the upgrade a lot of people were saying "I wish there was a like, like on facebook"
  3. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1321720338' post='1442412'] +1 [/quote] Drink meets keyboard
  4. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1321661119' post='1441854'] But then you'd need two totals for each profile instead of one. [/quote] Indeed, but it would be more informative
  5. I liked it when it first started out, I could like my own posts, and I did! I liked them because I wouldn't have posted them otherwise :-p Another interesting way to look at this would be for likes and dislikes to remain seperate ie a post could have 4 likes and one dislike instead of 3 likes. Ultimately the members profile could work the same way which would actually give much more informative feedback.
  6. Your best bet is to take your head along to somewhere like Bass Direct (or Bass Merchant if they havn't closed yet) and try as many cabs as you can. The one that sounds the best is the one to buy
  7. Ooo another one, when picking fast I occasionally grip the bottom string with my pinky almost like an anchor...
  8. [quote name='matski' timestamp='1321622377' post='1441304'] And by the way, the neck pocket is tighter than the proverbial gnat's chuff [/quote] I've heard that those Proverbial Gnat's are quite loose
  9. [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1321620505' post='1441267'] I remember 1,000 years ago when I was a new player and soaking up everything I could find, watching a Weather Report video of the Domino Theory tour. I was watching Victor Bailey play and was aware that he was playing stuff at the bottom of the neck, then adding fills at the top before coming back down to the main groove without missing a beat. It was apparent to me then that, to get around the bass properly, you needed to know how it all worked and what was where. It came back to me recently when I was playing a gig. We were playing Waiting In Vain and the sax player stuck a little improvised theme in there which he was playing every time there was a change from G to C. I clocked this and, using my knowledge of theory and its relationship to the neck of my bass, I was able to hear the theme, re-frame it and harmonise in thirds and octave higher. I hit the thing spot on without dropping a note. The sax player turned with a big grin on his face that made all thoue hours of scales and arpeggios worthwhile. I don't know if anyone in the audience noticed but he did and that's enough for me. [/quote] If you weren't a mod I would "like" this. But I'm not allowed
  10. Looks very well packed no closeups of the neck pocket?
  11. [quote name='petercullenbassist' timestamp='1321563106' post='1440785'] having a 8x10 fall on me during a bass solo, stood on the lead! [/quote] Ouch!
  12. Oh and IF I finger pick I tend to it with thumb, index and middle finger (like a classical guitar) no idea why
  13. The only one I can think of at the moment is that my picking style changes when I change to my low C string and I can't quite get the same speed. Bugging the hell out of me at the moment, I will beat it!
  14. Thanks for posting those Nigel. Looks beautiful but i do wonder how comfortable It would be, the bottom half of that bass is so small in comparison to the top.
  15. [quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1321451370' post='1439283'] This waiting's killing me and we're only 1 week in to a 5 week wait....... [/quote] You wan't to try a 9 month build... My girlfriend hated me for a while because of that. She can name every single wood on my ACG
  16. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1321463879' post='1439519'] All the above with a Status neck...... [/quote] Good point! Graphite neck Maple neck Wenge Neck
  17. [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1321462000' post='1439460'] I couldn't agree more. Warwick put up about ten designs for a singlecut on their forum, some were truly gorgeous. They asked for the public to vote on which one went into production. They chose that one, by quite a margin. It was the ugliest lumpen mess, and it proves the general public have no taste at all and need to be force-fed good style. I remain convinced it was chosen because it follows the Fodera blueprint. f***ing sheep. [/quote] I never saw the others
  18. Active Passive 4/5/6 Fretted Fretless Maple Fretboard Rosewood Fretboard Ebony/Other Fretboard Satin Finish Gloss Finish Natural Finish Metallic Finish With LEDs Without LEDs With Scratchplate Without Scratchplate In perfect condition Relic'd naturally Relic'd unnaturally Filter Pre-Amp Non-Filter Pre-Amp I'll think up some more
  19. [quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1321461589' post='1439454'] Maybe he never tried it - cant believe that, how odd... [/quote] This is a lecturer who told a judge (during the lecture over his mobile on loudspeaker) "No I won't be coming to court today, I've still got the taste of toothpaste in my mouth and I'm teaching at the moment" then hung up...
  20. I can't remember about the Classic (I don't think that has the presets). But the RH450 saves ALL setting except master volume to the preset, it IS that cool Can't speak about the cheaper cabs as I've not tried them
  21. [quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1321461400' post='1439450'] Dear god, really? Thats tragic, hold on, were you studying Chemistry? That might explain it.... Phase issues with multiple mics or multiple any sources in any recording situation is just a huge thing to take into account. Its made way simpler with the use of plugins like Phasebug at mix time now, but nothing beats getting it right there and then. There are hardware solutions to phase alignment too, other than moving the mic, which are super useful if you dont hit a DAW. [/quote] Multiple mics was covered but never mic and DI. Although my lecturer was a little bit.. different
