there is also the muscle memory aspect to consider with the grip thingies if you use them repeatedly then your fingers and muscles will learn well how to repeat the motion of compressing a little button mouted on top of a spring when you start pressing a string against a fret there is a lot more subtlety and finer nuances involved than just repeatedly 'pressing a stiff button' do you need 'more strength' in your fretting hand? if you want a good strong mechanical grip in your hands you could go join a tug-of-war team and have some fun at the same time unless you enjoy the tedium of repeatedly pressing an inert stiff button ... or as mrs doyle might say ...[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI0MRyUFIXU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI0MRyUFIXU[/url]

thanks for the linkage the way things are looking i may not bother with the upgrade at all and just keep the old carpet covered 1x15 and the hydrive4x10 with the 250W head (ample loud enough to compete with a PA for most avergae pubs/clubs)

this is not about the fleabay sale per se which is why have placed in this forum - more about the ebay listers comments about the factory stated power rating [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hartke-Hydrive-HX115-1x15-Bass-Guitar-Cabinet-Cab-/130606992048?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item1e68c88ab0"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hartke-Hydrive-HX115-1x15-Bass-Guitar-Cabinet-Cab-/130606992048?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item1e68c88ab0[/url] anybody out there in BC land own a 1x15 hydrive and could comment on this please? (i currently have a 4x10 hydrive and am looking at getting the 1x15 to upgrade my current 1x15 carpet covered hartke and naturally would like to top it all off with the lh500 or 1000) is this down to the difference between 'regular rip-off the customer with bigger wattage' watts and 'watts RMS' just off to download the pdf form the hartke website and see what it says

none of their later material has really grabbed me since moving pictures and signals - too formulaic and lacking in the charisma department - i dont dislike their material and im not against their change of style per se i just think their current style and sound hasnt produced anything of equal merit to the early and mid stuff if you get my drift edit - oops sorry forgot the answer to the original question here it is [url="http://youtu.be/wlNrQGmj6oQ"]http://youtu.be/wlNrQGmj6oQ[/url] listen to all 26 mins and tell me if you honestly think that any of the recent albums have any bass lines to compare with this

kick me now if you like but is it active? if so did it come with batteries included?

id forgotten just how tight this line up were - marvellous it is to be sure - and with hr hackett still on guitar and mr rutherford before he defected to the dark side [url="http://youtu.be/8z1kLUP3ohg"]http://youtu.be/8z1kLUP3ohg[/url]

thanks everyone

i think hi ho silver lining should be a lawful excuse for GBH

just as a thought .... has anybody any experience of perspex or acrylic bodies? i recall the dan armstrong thingy from years ago and if i remember correctly was there a bass version as well as the six string? the idea of a perspex/acrylic bitsa project has just occured to me and requires a modicum of investigation i feel
