  1. Hasn't Mark King had signature basses with Alembic, Jaydee, and Status? Oh, and Fender too. Still, so far he's just had the one signature amp.
  2. If somebody's taken a photograph, they've created an original work of art which is automatically copyrighted. Just using those pictures on an auction doesn't mean the original photographer has surrendered his copyright, in the same way as just because you hear a record on the radio, the writer hasn't surrendered his copyright to it. PS. And this is why the OP should start using a sniping tool...
  3. Manufacturer: Yamaha
  4. Currently playing with two different drummers in two different bands. As far as personality, transport, technicalities of setting up kits, etc go, both fit discreet's list. Both are good drummers - one is a bit more disciplined than the other, both keep time well. The only issue I have with one of them (the less disciplined one) is that he doesn't necessarily count in at the same tempo as he'll start playing. I think I need to chat with him about it (that's something missing from discreet's list - willing to accept properly directed criticism and acknowledge mistakes).
  5. "Only minor dings and scratches". Can't see how traumatic amputation of 20% of a P copy could be described as "minor".
  6. I thought the neck and inner body slotted into the outer body in some way and could be removed and put into a different body. The page about the guitars on the otherwise rather odd RKS website
  7. I rather like it. Not enough strings or inches though.
  8. Go to the bike show instead. Your GAS may have been transposed.
  9. Oh, and I've just remembered - I think every single tab for "The Seeker" by The Who is wrong, which is quite impressive.
  10. My own experience may give some guidance to the reasons for this... Some time ago, feeling dead idle, I had a look for a tab for Killer by Seal/Adamski. There are a couple on Ultimate Guitar, which are wrong. So I worked it out and then posted a correct version of it for consideration. The self-proclaimed great and good responded that (1) it was so simple that there was no need for a tab (so why are there tabs on there for it) and (2) that there were already tabs on there for it (but they're totally wrong). I resubmitted it once, got the same response, and decided not to bother posting tabs up there ever again. Tossers.
  11. I still like Gary Glitter's music. Indeed, I still have "Glitter", and somewhere I had a signed concert programme. Now that Morrissey has defended Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein, will the poor deluded fools that thought he was a talented musician change their minds about him?
  12. Sounds like a natural guitarist.
  13. It is if you play 4(B)--1(D)-4(E)-4(B)-1(D)-4(E). All the right notes and in the right order.
  14. I don't play it now, but when I did I used, er, <picks up bass> 4-1-4, same as Burns-bass.
  15. To lose a fair bit of weight, look at a cricket bat bass like a Hohner B2/B2A/B2AV (depending on strings and activity/passivity). No stupid headstock adding lots of weight levering on your shoulder.
  16. I've got one of these Cobra Direct-One which seems fine.
  17. As one who owns both a One10 and a brace of Berg AE112s, and who likes a sound with a bit of bite to it for playing rock gigs, I wouldn't bother with the One10 for said rock gigs. I think it's a great cab but it doesn't have the same bite as a tweeter-equipped cab.
  18. If you want to make one, google for Sallen-Key high-pass filters - they're second-order (12dB/octave), you'd want two cascaded to give you fourth order (24dB/octave).
  19. IIRC, it's simple to do. You modulate the input signal with the input signal phase shifted by 90 degrees.
  20. Headless, bodyless, and 75% fretless. [url="https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1980s-Wilkes-Guitars-Headless-Half-Fret-Fretless-Active-Bass-Guitar/142561002891"]https://www.ebay.co....ar/142561002891[/url]
  21. I never use a right-angled lead on the Sei Original, as that would result in embarrassing silence with the plug not able to penetrate sufficiently into the jack socket recess.
  22. [quote name='ricksterphil' timestamp='1510094557' post='3404031'] On a separate but related note, there was an ampeg head and cab on fleabay about a yr ago. The seller had replaced all the internal speaker and main amp internal cable with heavier duty wire which he claimed improved the sound - his point being that it's all very well spending gadzillions on premium gear but the bits of wire inside the speaker and amp are typically cheapest thin bit of wire, so by replacing same with heavier duty stuff, vastly improved the sound. No idea if he was right as I din't buy the amp and cab he had for sale....but it seemed logical Captain! [/quote] I had a GK 200MB (that's the little combo, forerunner to the MB150) that I had to replace the driver on. When I opened it up, I was very surprised at the thinness of the wire going to the speaker. I think the outer sheath was no more than 1.5mm diameter, and that was for a 25cm or so cable run.
  23. Unless the mains supply is exceptionally bad, those of us with class D gear should be fine without mains conditioners. Might sneak some noise in through the primitive power supplies of class A and AB amps though. (A slight simplification, class D and SMPS power supplies aren't always twinned up).
  24. Not a bass, but I swapped an early 80s Squier Strat which I'd put a Shadow MIDI pickup onto for a Roland U20 keyboard. More fool me.
