[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1458064942' post='3004377'] My guess was there's two famous Niros - One's "Bob D.", the other one did a violin solo while Rome burned allegedly. Laugh? I nearly bought a round in! [/quote] There's a famous Niro and a famous Nero. Dammit, I'm too well educated for this place.

[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1458078937' post='3004600'] Pedant alert: the Goons' tune was called the 'Ying Tong Song' and the Sputniks' was 'Love Missile F1-11'. And yes, it was very definitely truly dreadful. [/quote] Bloody autocorrect, why does it want to change 'tong' to 'Ying'? Bah.

Paranoid - Black Sabbath 30 other singles of which two almost scraped into the top 20. I think they probably qualify.

At home, for my infrequent listening, I use a separates system with either CDs or mp3s. I also have an Interphone F3MC Bluetooth intercom system on my bike helmet that I can play mp3s from my phone to but it's disappointingly quiet (I wear earplugs on the bike).

I should really have remembered this as we do it - "One of us" by Joan Osborne. Despite the film, I still like "Take my breath away" by Berlin.

I used to read and post to agb. I revisited it fairly recently and gave up on it pretty much straight away.

I've been beaten to a few. Still: Birdhouse in your soul - They might be giants Satellite - Hooters Bennie Hill - Ernie (the fastest milkman in the West) Goons - Ying Ying Song And for rubbish, as well as the grandparent songs, there's Sigue Sigue Sputnik's truly dreadful Love Missile F1-1.

[quote name='Osiris' timestamp='1457783423' post='3001743'] I asked a similar question a few weeks ago too, [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/278725-bypassing-a-b3-in-the-fx-loop-will-it-mute-the-amp/"]the thread is here[/url]. In summary, I have run my B3 through the fx loop of my TC Electronics RH450 and it seemed happy enough. No nasty digital type distortion issues. According to one of the responses on my thread, the pedal will not get damaged by running it in the loop, it will just distort. [/quote] I mentioned having done it and got distortion, but thinking back, I believe it was actually my Korg AX3000B that did that, and I never repeated the experiment with the B3.

[quote name='linear' timestamp='1456923748' post='2993545'] I picked up a B3 a few years ago. Just discovered that the whole time I've had the effects order the opposite way round from what I thought it was I've often struggled getting my created patches to behave the way I expected them to, assumed it was down to limitations of the device. I did wonder why so many of the built-in patches had reverb at the start of the chain What a muppet. [/quote] You can switch the direction of the signal flow - see page 19 of the manual.

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1457941399' post='3003090'] Blimey that's certainly not a standard replacement. It looks more like a part of the Millennium Falcon [/quote] I don't think there's such a thing as a standard replacement for contacts for an AA battery anyway. Are you thinking of PP3s?

I don't think you'll find replacement contacts other than from Line 6. Looking at my own transmitter, this looks like them: [url="http://www.fullcompass.com/prod/285420-Line-6-30-51-0473"]http://www.fullcompass.com/prod/285420-Line-6-30-51-0473[/url] You can get spare parts from Line 6 in the UK, see [url="http://www.mia.org.uk/supplier/195/line-6-uk-ltd"]http://www.mia.org.uk/supplier/195/line-6-uk-ltd[/url] Be warned, however, they are totally useless - took several goes before I finally managed to get a battery door from them. I think they mean well but are utterly incompetent.

I'd never have another Trace Elliott. My class D amp sounds so much better.

You could try looking for the Minolta RM-2S or RM-4S memory cards. I think they'd be compatible, if you can find one.

My B2AV sounds fine. The B2V that I had sounded somewhat thinner.

You can move the strap peg on the B2 so it hangs rather better. I will be doing this to mine when I get a round tuit, which is what I also need to finish soldering the jack socket back on after replacing the preamp (didn't like VV and stacked B/T or the active/passive toggle switch which is easily broken so went for a Tone Monster with push/pull active and vol, blend, stacked B/T).

Spectors. Lovely basses (even though they're not headless) but I just don't get on with the necks.

Fenders (and copies). Singlecuts. Precisions (and copies). Paint finish. Jazzes (and copies). Not keen on headed basses but I do have some.

Active, twin pickup, headless, natural finish, through neck, straplocks. If fretless, unlined. Luminlay side markers or preferably LEDs. Shallow neck profile.

Airship or Led Zeppelin (or both) Men at work

[quote name='DaytonaRik' timestamp='1457709098' post='3001200'] I get this if it was a few days apart but two months? [/quote] Perhaps Limehouse Lizzy were throwing a strop over the Derby gigs.

I'd start with my little finger on the 10th fret of the B string and go from there.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1457704387' post='3001142'] Radio Four is enough for me and it should be enough for anyone. [/quote] Radio 2 is acceptable while Thought for the Day or interviews with any front bench politician of any stripe are on.

Friends of mine run this company http://securityforbikes.com and the advice on there is worth looking at as it covers general shed and building security as well as bike (motor and push) security.
