You could have your Grolsh rings chromed!

Have you tried the fuzz after the delay?

I'm surprised people love strap locks so much. I use Grolsch rings and they've never failed.

I have a mate from dublin, and he does an impression of a tipperary accent that amuses me greatly.

heh, i think we should abandon this and declare OC-2 the winner.

WTF? Are people quoting old lists?

excellent, most appreciated

Hah, cheers! Everyone's so generous! I tend to (try to) avoid trying out gear I can't afford, for obvious reasons

same here, I never even got round to programming it properly, I just traded it two weeks after I got it. Rahter dissappointing as I know you can get some amazing sounds out of them.

Interesting! Cheers

OC-2 and TU-2 are neck and neck at 16, Sansamp BDDI is catching up with 10!!

HAH! Nice!! I thought i'd read loads of good customer service posts RE Ashdown. You can get the phone number of a fairly high up bloke I think..?

ODB-3 has a built in blend control too. If you put it before your amp, you should be able to get a decent low gain crunch from it, but perhaps not enough of a crunch for what you need. As above, when you turn the gain up, it gets sh*t.

Here it is anyway. Got this in a sale about a year ago. [/quote] Does this switch patches instantly? (unlike the GT-6B)

Fair enough, I wouldn't know about transcribing!! I thought the main point of the OP was the suggestion that deadening one sense might heighten another, and obviously if you're making sounds, it's the listening sense we're bothered about - you might be able to listen better in the dark. I know when i'm mixing I often close my eyes to help concentrate.

[quote name='Doddy' post='1029187' date='Nov 19 2010, 12:39 PM']I don't need to give it a go. I have played many gigs where I can't look at the neck-due to either darkness or reading charts or whatever-and it's not a problem to me. I've spent long enough with the instrument that it becomes almost second nature anyway.[/quote] What if there's a deep and mystical bond you can develop with your bass that only happens if you play in the dark? It's not about being able to play without looking at the fret-board.

I'm going to give it a go and see what happens. To rule it out would be irrational wouldn't it? I don't understand why you wouldn't give it a go Doddy?

Has anyone seen his photography site? Apparently he's one of these slightly autistic creative geniuses. No-one else could have created such an image, so take it easy on poor Tim Image removed due to request

surely it's as simple as replacing one kind of switch for another?

heh, I don't know, i'll take a picture later. It's not a well known brand, put it that way!

Can you really blow a pre-amp from driving it too hard? I didn't think so!

Don't get me started on maplins staff, or their website, or their prices, or the junk mail or....

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' post='1028052' date='Nov 18 2010, 03:35 PM']Beware of what Cheddatom said because he's wrong![/quote] But I can plug my bass into a distortion pedal, turn the gain way up, and plug it straight into a power amp. This way, my distortion pedal is the pre-amp. It doesn't matter if the pedal has a valve in it or not. I don't mind being wrong, but could you clarify a little more why there's so much difference between a clipping pre-amp and a distortion pedal?

But note that at some point you will get that wrong and print it (see the point about the big swooshy reverb I accidently tracked ))[/quote] I'm using VSTs so it's pretty impossible to "print". Maybe that's one of the features of Reaper? Still not tried it at least it's because i'm too busy with music, rather than too busy with work!
