  1. look at the picture above where it says "sunbeams" ....
  2. I've done the exact same thing in a similar situation, except I turned off and started dancing and miming playing like Flea does... by the time I was playing with my teeth the sound guys had cottoned on the low end issues wasn't me!
  3. Just got the cables to power my stomp from a Cioks dc7 - oddly turned on connected to one port without the current doubler too!
  4. No, but if you were trying to write something you might study Shakespeare to learn how language is formed. If I was using visual art to communicate of course I could learn from church traditions going back to icons, pietas, the Dutch vanitas painting… but I would probably also look at things since 1800 from a non church based setting!! There’s a big gap in my knowledge if I don’t understand modernism, postmodernism and can’t understand the culture art exists in. I think the same is true with music. There’s two differences in how I would approach it. I don’t think dividing things into sacred and secular works - either personally, theologically or in art. There’s this big bit in the middle of life that is just life and is neither anti God or pro God. I have a spade in my shed, it’s neither sacred nor secular - I could use it to grow veg and give the veg to the hungry, or hit someone on the head with it and bury the body. The other thing is that culture is the language that society communicates through, both consciously and unconscionasly, and depending on your pov for both better and worse. If the book says “be in, but not of” I don’t know how to do that if I don’t understand the same cultural language.
  5. Which type of G&L? L1000 are like the the new covenant version of a p bass anyway
  6. Isn't that like a 1991 or 1990 limited edition? Many of them about?!
  7. That sounds intriguing!
  8. Esp when TC electronics get it so right on the Spectracomp so easily. I’ve spent a bit of time with them this week. Rochester, meh but ok, I can get the 3 band sounding good - but don’t feel I have any control of it at all, I can get the LA2A model sounding nice easily- possibly LA2A is just my cup of tea?

    DIY Effects

    I’m planning on doing a big order soon Is there a U.K. equivalent for parts and/or kits at all?
  10. After 15 years of buying and selling stuff online I’ve finally had one go a bit wrong on me. My learning- the ethos of how you act on basschat as a good seller isn’t the same on other music forums :(

      Hope you get it sorted.

      I haven’t had any problems here and I’ve spent quite a few thousands buying, I suppose there’s always a first time, hope you get it sorted Luke

      For clarity my purchase isn’t on basschat.

      probably why it’s gone wrong 

  11. I was about to recomend my credit card that charges no handling fee … but looked up and don’t have that benefit any more!!

    Variable HPF

    Why? Bass guitar, heck almost any instrument isn’t going to sound good with everything below 8kHz cut out! I would look at the Vong and miniVong at musikding as alternatives …
  13. What comp do you use?
  14. That’s actually really useful as looking to put my stomp on it
  15. Yeah it was me bumping it up, been looking at the 2.1 and 3.1 and enjoyed it that @Al Krow started a thread and liked them so much he ended up with two of them
  16. Or two of them even!
  17. I don’t have bas GAS anymore - but that PJ has to be one of the nicest basses on basschat
  18. Interesting - I had a ACG EQ1 and started it with the high filter from the bridge and after playing with it a while ended up with it on the neck pickup (on a Warwick SS1 so probably not a million miles away from Wal position, if not a different style of pickup)
  19. But these days a two channel amp and digital crossover would probably be cheaper.
  20. £53 on Amazon/7 days to spend or loose/what bass things are worth it on there?

      Jamiroquai books by Stuart Clayton, always nice to see the dots to some good tunes 👍

      Get yourself a solid single pack of strings for that....

       

      Isn't being a bassist fun.

      NUX Mighty Plug (great for practice when travelling, especially if you already have IEMs), Clip on tuner poly/unitune, Strings (as mentioned above), EBS patch leads, Quality cable.

  21. See - this is what’s nice around here… every so often we get a thread where people passionately throwing around misunderstood “facts” go away … and we get to learn from experts like @agedhorse and @Bill Fitzmaurice
  22. That's true metric brightness rather than your old fashioned imperial brightness
