[quote name='MrDaveTheBass' timestamp='1486651049' post='3233539'] Thanks for that! Now I've got the f**king Birdie Song going round my head! NANANANANANANAH! NANANANANANANAH! NANANANANANANAH! DER DER DER DER! [/quote] "Agadoo" trumps the Birdie Song.

[quote name='cloudburst' timestamp='1486802197' post='3234595'] Ford (brand) + Fiesta (model) = Ford Fiesta. Reliant (brand) + Robin (model) = Robin Reliant. What? [/quote] It isn't a Robin Reliant, it's a Reliant Robin. Just because Jasper Carrott called it a Robin Reliant doesn't mean that it's true.

A-Ha - Take on me. Wanted to do that with the last band but the guitarist wasn't keen and Mrs Zero was a bit ambivalent about coping with the vocals.

I've been sacked that way - not because I was a bad bassist or my replacement was a better one (personally, I think he was worse), but because my replacement was a mate of the lead guitarist and drummer and he wanted to join the band. I wasn't at all happy. Still, all was eventually forgiven and I depped for them recently when their bassist who was a replacement for my replacement was unavailable for a gig. But I wouldn't like anything like that to happen again.

He's rejected my best offer again.

Looks interesting but would be a PITA to tune.

That's why God created sniping tools.

Thought it might have been a Yamaha SBV-500 but the remaining bit of body doesn't fit that theory and the headstock's a bit skinnier.

[quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1485699226' post='3225875'] So an active bass with an uncoloured in bass pre-amp set flat is a passive bass? I see your point but the passive signal is boosted massively both in any pre-amp and amp itself and 'colour' is very often added. [/quote] I own several active basses and just one of them puts out a signal that is boosted compared to the passive signal (and even then, it's not by a huge factor). A Baxendall-type tone control needs (IIRC) a gain of 3x to maintain the same level of output as input, but that's the only gain in a typical active preamp. The change of impedance and the ability to use a tone control network with both boost and cut are the real points of an active preamp.

Quite a lot of ACGs are flat fingerboard - often to be found at a bass bash near you.

Is there any way of saying we'll be a couple? Only seems to be the option of buying one ticket at a time.

Is there any concessionary rate for couples?

[quote name='mentalextra' timestamp='1485249261' post='3222375'] I'm probably going to regret asking, but Mr Pratt seems to be a 'marmite' character on this forum, what has he done to deserve that? He seems a pretty normal well rounded type of guy? [/quote] One of the professionally offended accused him of saying something racist, IIRC.

I'm pretty sure that Dave from Musical Exchanges, who sold me the Warwick JD Thumb that I have to this day, went there. No, I just took another look. Dave went to the Carlsbro shop just round the corner near Richer Sounds.

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1484814062' post='3218607'] A good few bands are just getting panned here, merely because people don't like the band. That is not the point of this thread surely. There are a good number of worshipped albums that I could easily diss because I don't like the artist. The real test of this thread is for those who are actual fans of a band's or artist's work to say that a particularly well regarded album is somewhat lacking in their opinion. [/quote] Queen - A Day at the Races - first stage of their descent into dreadful crappery Queen - News of the World - see above Queen - Jazz - see above Queen - The Game - see above A trend may be emerging here.

[quote name='Burrito' timestamp='1484736547' post='3217865'] Makes me wonder what critically panned albums we all love.... [/quote] You really think a consensus could be reached on Basschat, where if there was only one person posting to a thread it would still end up as an argument?

[quote name='casapete' timestamp='1484705365' post='3217714'] Donald Fagen, The Nightfly. Think I'm the only muso ever who doesn't like this. Those irritating 'clever' songs played so perfectly with no soul/feel. Liked early Steely Dan stuff, but then it all ended up sounding like this. [/quote] It's not just me then. I imagine every band in the world who's ever had a critically acclaimed album will find themselves in this thread. I'm going to go with anything by Rush.

I can see a way of doing DI on it, if DI was the only output you wanted and you didn't mind losing one effect slot. The Left/Mono output is also a headphone output, so if the final effect inverted the left output and sent it to the right side (and applied gain of about 4x to bring the signal from 150-200mV P-P to 600-1000mV P-P), you'd just need a stereo jack to XLR lead.

I'd forgotten about the Facebook page, possibly because I hate Facebook. Ta, and see you at Moffat.

[quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1484593104' post='3216650'] Would depend on the crowd. Osmonds covers for bikers, Megadeth for the local old peoples' home and so on... [/quote] Mrs Zero and I did a Metallica song in our set at the local old people's home, which went down well. The song suggestions so far are actually the set you'd put together if you were about to quit a band you really, really hated. To which I'd add Red Red f***ing Whine. All Right Now, and Ma Baker by Boney M.

Having read [url="https://gear-otaku.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/zoom-b3n-bass-multi-effect.html"]https://gear-otaku.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/zoom-b3n-bass-multi-effect.html[/url] (I love Google Translate), presumably access has been suspended until the official announcement in two days time at NAMM.

I want. I hope the fact that access to the page has been stopped isn't a bad sign.
