NCD - Ashdown Mibass 10, £20 from Money Traders
tauzero replied to lemmywinks's topic in Amps and Cabs
Might be worth looking at a Faital driver like the 10FE200, 10FE300, 10FE400. -
Worst Live Act (Pushing it a bit too far)
tauzero replied to theplumber's topic in General Discussion
On the tour with Van Halen as support, I went to see them at the Birmingham New Street Odeon. My friend had told me that the support band were brilliant but couldn't remember their name. The support band were absolutely dreadful - a band called Tanzder Youth. Sadly, I'd missed the gig where they'd had Van Halen supporting. Sabbath were fine. -
No Gas Gear - what have you never thought of replacing?

One thing I forgot to mention - my Tecamp Puma 900. -
Beautiful...do you think that they make a bass version??

Definitely 7 strings - look at them where they pass over the soundhole. The somewhat ambiguous blob at the right hand end of the bridge is simply an ambiguous blob. -

Basses: My first Warwick, a JD Thumb, which I've had since 1988. I don't really use it since moving to 5-strings but I wouldn't sell it. My first Antoniotsai bass, the first 5-string I've had that felt as good to me as the Warwick My first and second Sei headless basses, an Original fretless and Flamboyant fretted, which are also lovely to play Other: Eko Ranger VI which I bought in the 1980s - my noodling around at home guitar Zoom MS-60B which is my swiss army knife pedal -

You can get it from the same place as this (which is a little too big for my garden): -

Seven string acoustic guitar, for when your death metal band wants to do an unplugged session. -
I have a vague memory of this happening or almost happening at a pub-cum-microbrewery in the Black Country that the ceilidh band used to rehearse in. The licence application had assorted tick boxes for the amount of entertainers to be allowed - it didn't make any difference to the cost of the licence, I'm not sure what else it might have affected.

A few weeks ago, a Dean 10-string with very little hardware turned up. Now there's a complete one - low start price but I can't help thinking that with it collection only from Ashford in Kent, that price might not advance that far. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176774089864

Indeed, he's hit the ignore list here.

Home recording or banging my head against a wall.

I still remember pressing the wrong track select button on my Tascam 144 and wiping out the first 30 seconds of the drum track. No Ctrl-Z with tape. -
Iconic bass-lines for aspiring bass players!

We're just starting rehearsing Won't Get Fooled Again at my instigation. Want to get a bit closer to the Entwistle original than I currently am. -

Thankfully SCSI and RS232 disappeared before all the chickens and goats in the world had been sacrificed. People today just don't know they're born. -
That's handy - it shows up an inaccuracy in the original, as it's not a cab that's ideal for DJ events or large public gatherings and I'd missed that.
-
I've had one too, in fact that's why I read the description. There are a lot of references to live sound, and it's apparently "known for its high power handling and efficiency". And mine had a tweeter which has been omitted from the generated text, and which I would argue did make it a full range cab. So while it might be a description, it's not especially accurate, and it doesn't actually say anything.
-
Not a great deal of difference - the headlessness means no neck dive on either, and I don't notice any difference in the way they hang. I suppose the Original would hang a little more to the left due to the shorter top horn, but I haven't any evidence of that.

Oh, and from Bass Direct's website:

NBD: Somewhat of a childhood dream. A van der End 5 string Jazz.
tauzero replied to BassAgent's topic in Bass Guitars
Very nice. How's the sound? -
You could have put some coloured heatshrink on the jack plugs. Still, speakon is better.

How nutritious are words? ChatGPT: Words themselves aren't physically nutritious, as they don't provide calories, vitamins, or minerals like food does. However, they can be considered "nutritious" in a metaphorical or psychological sense. Words can nourish the mind, emotions, and relationships. For example: Mental stimulation: Reading or listening to well-chosen words—whether through books, conversations, or lectures—can stimulate thinking, improve vocabulary, and boost cognitive functions. Emotional nourishment: Words of encouragement, kindness, or understanding can uplift a person, reducing stress and improving emotional well-being. Inspiration and motivation: Words from leaders, mentors, or creative works can fuel ambition, creativity, and resilience. Social connection: Communicating effectively with others creates strong relationships, leading to emotional and psychological well-being. So while words don't offer traditional nutritional value, they have a powerful impact on our mental and emotional health, which is crucial for overall well-being.

Positioned just behind the PA cabs pointing inwards and rearwards? Something like this with the mics aimed pretty much at the drummer: PA cab PA cab mic Me Vox/git1 Git2 mic Bass amp Shedbuilder Git1 Git2 amp amp

Second-hand Cort Space headless 5. I think they must be pretty well-liked, they sold well and there's hardly any coming up second hand. £620 new from Thomann or G4M. I like mine.

I have four - the first was a headless fretless Original 5, the second a headless Flamboyant 5, the third a headed Flamboyant 6 which I've had fitted with a Roland hex pickup, and finally the Basschat bike Jazz 5. I love the necks on them - the nicest I've played.

1981 - a program called "The Last One" was released. It would supposedly be the last program anyone would have to use as it would generate all the programs in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_One_(software)

Skynet had a valid point.
