[quote name='deksawyer' post='294792' date='Sep 29 2008, 06:46 PM']Yes, I agree, but I've been noticing a big trend lately where there's an increasing number of f*ckups by companies who don't give a sh#t! Look at the time/hassle/stress the OP has gone through. With SC now long gone, there's no excuse not to be using your local music shop. D.[/quote] My "excuse" is my negative bank balance and reluctance to face the populus of Stoke. Some online retailers are good, and others are bad. It's not as though they've formed a cartel of bad customer service, they're still all in competition and competition should force bad retailers to improve or close.

Where in cheshire are you based?

Before our drummer left, and I was actually playing my bass, I was 100% happy with my tone(s) and my ability. I think I could have got the same result with different gear, but it worked for me, and every time we played a gig it felt euphoric.

[quote name='deksawyer' post='294597' date='Sep 29 2008, 03:30 PM']Sorry to be blunt, but next time, go into a shop and buy/order it! D.[/quote] You should be able to order online without any issues, as many of us have many-a-time.

My whammy XP-100 does a good Tool chorus sound on the detune setting. I would agree with Les Claypool and Dirk Lance - both very much influenced my use of effects. Obviously the bassist from Muse, and from RATM also.

Do they mean 8 x 9v with 500ma each? Or 8 x 9v sharing 500ma? The latter wouldn't be great!

Is there a bar? Is it £1/pint?

[quote name='OldGit' post='291536' date='Sep 25 2008, 10:06 AM']Hang on ... a bass related post? Who are you and what have you done with Teri???? Nice one Teri, thanks! Clearangel looks like a shopping channel rather than a dealer .. [url="http://www.clearangel.net/Home.aspx"]http://www.clearangel.net/Home.aspx[/url] EG their Zoom B2.1u page points to 10 possible suppliers of the product, not listed in price order doh! so the cheaper one ("sound control" 0)) is at the bottom.. Still it's a start..[/quote] Thanks OG! I was looking for clearDASHangel all morning due to MrsT's poor spelling! (and thanks to MrsT for a well meaning post).

That looks great! I would prefer it with a black plate though, and yeh, I would love to see a 6 string version!

If you play for applause you could get applause, but you could get booed. You could get paid, or you could get fobbed off. You could get wasted, or you could drive home. You could get laid, or you could get dumped. You could take inspiration from the applause and create some amazing music, or you could continue to bash out classic covers. What is your point Bilbo?

[quote name='metaltime' post='289766' date='Sep 23 2008, 11:22 AM']Yeah i no ive been on the look out but ive found it really difficult to find them. But your right i need to get some.[/quote] They generally only come out around christmas time AFAIK. It would be good to know of a shop that stocks them all year round.

He shouldn't have a lyric book IMHO. The singer for the PEs always wants his lyrics to read, but we tell him "no, f*cking learn them" so he tries his best.

If it was just a snare close-mic'd track clipping, then I would leave it. As it's the overall 2 track stereo recording, I assume it sounds quite bad? Any limiter should be able to sort it. I don't know what plug-ins you get with Audacity, but there are lots of free and "free" VST compressors around.

I had an e-mail from a dutch customer, and it said it came from "Fantasy Coons". Can someone translate it please because I feel really racist every time I laugh at them and probably wouldn't if I knew what it was.

[quote name='tauzero' post='287146' date='Sep 19 2008, 10:54 AM']No, just a Superfly editor, a computer, and a USB lead... You can set compression attack with the editor, so you could experiment with that and see if you can get it limiting the peaks a bit better.[/quote] Wow! That's pretty cool.

[quote name='Finbar' post='286105' date='Sep 17 2008, 06:03 PM']Working that day. Sucks :/[/quote] Sew the seads of a dead relative! do it now so they can have their funeral on the 11th.

This is deffinitely me, but it doesn't look much like me, and I have no idea what that t-shirt is!

If they've agreed to collect it you should now be able to get your money back?

Is it done?
