There's a lot of bargains to be had for people who have the strength and space for an 8x10, but £100 for that lot? Stupendous![/size][/font][/b][/b]

Well done all - a lot of lovely ambient type stuff, and some bit War of The Worlds! I'm not sure about the etiquette of saying who you voted for, but for me, it was a tie between two that I really loved, and the decider was the one which related to the picture more. Top, top quality. BTW, I'm the piece of toast commenting on Soundcloud in case you were wondering. Thanks to those who are following me, you may be in for a long wait :-)

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1372151584' post='2122136'] I don't know about doing this with covers, but I sure as hell need to do this with some of the various song fragments I have lying around [/quote] Worked pretty well on Abbey Road

[quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1371990146' post='2120357'] I love Trent Reznors music. I think the guys a genius ! [/quote] I agree, so much amazing material. Outside of NIN he's been pretty prolific on the film soundtrack side of things, he even has an Oscar. Not bad for someone who has 'never offered anything of merit' ;-)

Sounds fantastic Shep. I'll download it today. Well done mate :-)

The ATK is one of the few Ibanez basses that I like the look of. I like this especially as it has an additional pickup closer to the neck (not a big fan of single MM types). I don't mind that bridge so much. Ideally I'd have the five string in black with bwb scratch plate, black headstock and maple board. Mmmm

Keeping the same amp and getting more conage can do wonders for volume. I don't know about the sensitivity/excursions of the different speakers, but the cone area of a 4x12 is only slightly less than 6 x 10" speakers - about 4% difference, so you're not increasing the conage as much as you may think Edit, sorry, I just read your post properly, and see that you say that the head is now giving 450w as opposed to the previous 270. I believe that twice the watts increases volume by around 10%

Glad you received it, and glad it's suitable. FYI I packed it really tightly, compressing it with a big mallet. You should find that there's about two mugs' worth of normal dust in there. Hope the repair goes well.

I assume you create a new topic in the For Sale section and it will walk you through the process

Some nice reggae for this sunny Friday afternoon. This is superb DJ URoy with his musings on sharing a bong with the queen:[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uds2JNoqsvc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uds2JNoqsvc[/url]

Here's the thread, which has some headless Modulus content http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f42/modulus-bass-561344/ Edit, it would help if I included the link!

Someone on Talkbass reckons that in the '80s, he played an Aria Pro ii with a headless Modulus neck and Whammy bar - could that be this one?

DV makes a great footrest

[quote name='AntLockyer' timestamp='1371642175' post='2116479'] My Wife walked in to Hans Zimmer - You're So Cool (you might know it from True Romance http://youtu.be/jq5kbNW8VKU and our first dance was the Cure - Feels like heaven (poor version by our wedding band unfortunately) [/quote] 'Feels like Heaven' by Future Factory, or 'Just like Heaven' by The Cure. Maybe that mixup explains the bad version by the band ;-)

Does the guarantee hold if the amp has changed hands?

Excellent, I hope you can make it :-) A bit more information about the night: The Dublin Castle, 94 Parkway, Camden NW1 7AN Friday 30th August £7 or £5 with flier [url="http://www.wegottickets.com/"]http://www.wegottickets.com/[/url] have cheaper tickets.

Personally, I dislike the look of ABZ, but would love to try a super J or P. Why do other companies bother? I suspect it's a rhetorical question, but I'll answer anyway. For whatever reason, many in the bass world are not ready or willing to embrace wonky frets.

I remember reading a Chuck Rainey interview. He had a part in a band on a weekly TV show where the actual broadcasted music was recorded by the band earlier in the week. One show, he's about to 'mime' his way through the track when he hears a completely different bassline, definitely not his. He kicked off and refused to play at all! He acknowledged that in hindsight, this was wrong and unprofessional. He apologised to the band and all involved. I don't know whether he was falsely credited with playing that bassline, but from a 'being replaced' point of view, Mr Rainey said that he learned from that experience, and that if this happens, it is just one of those things that you have to take on the chin.

Careful though, when you dial in a fat tone, it adds approx. 1lb

A great gig BRX - two very different and very enjoyable bands. My original plan was to see the Terrortones, then pop off to The Lion in Basford where some mates were watching a ska band. Due to the atmosphere and general curiosity, I stuck around to see the Moonshone Stalkers, and am glad I did! Great clear mix too. BTW, if you're wondering why I'm on my own each time I see your band, I do have friends, honest! It's just that the number of friends who live locally and want to see bands these days are few. The number who want to see bloodsucking vampire psychobilly punkrock are fewer still :-( I know they'd love it if they came. Anyway, good to see you again, and sack whoever got the headliners' name wrong on the poster ;-)
