It does have the words "Made in Indonesia" pretty easily read in the third picture.

Well, it does make a noise.

[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.
