  1. I have the MP3 one and I really like it. The only issue I had with mine was that the MENU button became a little flaky and unresponsive, but then rather oddly it later fixed itself. Must have got bumped twice in the same place
  2. I'd just like to say what a great time I had this weekend - some well tasty basses on display, I was a little too "I'm not worthy" about a few of them Thanks to Alan (and others) who organised it.
  3. Great looking basses, well made, average sound in stock configuration. I ended up swapping out the stock passive humbuckers for EMG-HB active pickups (Precision-esque split rails in a humbucker size) and an EMG-BQC 3 band EQ. Did I mention I think they look great?
  4. Use Hipshot Ultralite tuners to make the headstock as light as possible? Choose your strap button position carefully - [url="http://www.lysator.liu.se/~wizkid/music/thunderbird_mod/"]http://www.lysator.liu.se/~wizkid/music/thunderbird_mod/[/url]

    [quote name='david_l_perry' post='639693' date='Oct 29 2009, 07:49 AM']We are all booked in under 'the bass guitar event'[/quote] It's like asking for something which only goes across the counter in a brown paper bag!
  7. [quote name='chrisba' post='638310' date='Oct 27 2009, 06:45 PM']This is a little program I wrote to try and teach myself to recognise intervals and play the corresponding note. Written in Visual Basic so it might need some VB runtime libraries to work, but I can't tell for sure. It's not really a txt file, but download it, rename it to a .exe ( which I'm not allowed to upload ), virus-scan it ( not that you have to, but it's good practice ) and then just doubleclick Any feedback welcome... [attachment=35261:intervals.txt][/quote] Nice little program. One bug found so far - if the two notes chosen are the same then the Go and Repeat buttons remain greyed out after you click on the note.
  8. For sale is a JVC KD-LHX552 car stereo. I'm selling it because my car has a funny shaped stereo and I can't be bothered dismantling my dashboard in order to fit it. I’ve attached a (disgustingly large) stock picture of it. A brief rundown of the features: * 50 peak x 4 channels * Motorised, detachable, fold-down face * Touch screen controls with voice support * Variable color 3D graphics display (with 1,728 possible colors) * Personalised Image Capture Technology (PICT) allows you to download your own images into the display (software included) * DiAS digital RDS AM/FM tuner * 18 FM/6 AM presets * Plays MP3 and WMA files * ID3v2 MP3 Tag Compatibility * Plays CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs * SD Card Slot * Direct track access (tracks 1-12) * 7-band iEQ (with 9 preset and 3 user-adjustable EQ curves) * Advanced multi-bit DAC * CD/MP3 changer controls * MOSFET internal amp * 5-volt, gold-plated front, rear, and subwoofer preamp outputs * Level control and low-pass filter on subwoofer preamp outputs * Gold-plated rear auxiliary input * Wireless remote * Clock I'd like £50 + postage for it. Also included if it’s useful - a replacement fascia for a Honda Civic 7th generation (2000-2006) and a wiring harness for same vehicle.
  9. I'm pretty green when it comes to public performance, but I'm trying really hard to lift my eyes off the neck. In my first gig (which I was barely prepared for) I made sure I knew one song really well and looked up quite a lot and moved around a bit, but it was pretty much head down after the first few songs. With the band I'm in just now, I'm trying not to look at the bass when I'm practising solo, looking up/around the room in the rehearsal room and hopefully that's transferring on stage. I can't verify that though, because I can barely remember being on stage because of the adrenaline! My wife keeps me right, and I always try to look for her if she's at the gig - a guaranteed friendly, supportive face.
  10. +1 to the no lending rule. It's a bass, not a cup of sugar. Additional: got any pics of the damage? Perhaps someone can advise on how best to tackle the damage.
  11. Someone on the local music forum selling a couple of Aria ZZBs: [url="http://www.aberdeen-music.com/forums/equipment/58293-equip-sale-basses-amp-marshall-2x12s.html"]http://www.aberdeen-music.com/forums/equip...hall-2x12s.html[/url] Might be up someone's street.
  12. [quote name='V4lve' post='633222' date='Oct 22 2009, 10:17 AM']Yeah. I saw that. Did you do it yourself? I'm afraid I will bodge it.[/quote] Yup. Did it with a template. Get the template right - bodging it means you only bodge up a scrap of MDF or something. Once you have the template, and have it clamped nice and secure you drastically limit the opportunity for bodging the actual piece.
  13. [quote name='V4lve' post='633189' date='Oct 22 2009, 09:26 AM']Now wondering what to do with the battery, currently its sitting under the pick-guard.[/quote] The best thing to do is rout out a hole and fit a battery box. I did to my MM3 - Those Gotoh ones are probably the nicest ones.

    [quote name='Ou7shined' post='631482' date='Oct 20 2009, 04:25 PM']LOL @ the pic of me trying to see off the hangover with a Redbull. Change of plan - instead of taking the wee Schroe I thought it might be fun to bring my MB 104HF. [b]Matt you'll be sitting on the roof. [/b] Is there a band again this time?[/quote] Roof surfin', get in!

  18. You can always fill and redrill. I've done this for a few Squier bodies now to "convert" them to a standard hole pattern. Of course that means the stock one won't fit any more. Up to you!

    Hello

    Welcome to the forum I'm a little drunk, and I don't know you, so I'll tell you to not dick about and get involved in a band - there's no better shot in the arm for your playing than playing with others. Please take my utterings in the spirit they are intended - to help you improve. I wish you all the best.
