Oh, I get it. Just a normal damped note but with a new name. Thanks.

OK, I'll be the one to ask the obvious question. What's a ghost note?

Or this? http://www.dv247.com/pa-systems-and-live-sound/studiomaster-runabout-200w-portable-pa-system--75426

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]In all your playing days what cabs really stand out?[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The best sound I've ever had was through four 4x12 Sound City cabs driven by 2 Marshall super bass 100s. The Marshalls were just ticking over but the sound was immense. Full, clear, loads of bottom and I could hear it where ever I went on stage. Not overpowering, just there. It wouldn't be practical to carry that many cabs and heads now but I do regret getting rid of them. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I also had a pretty amazing sound with 4 Vox Foundation cabs, four 1x18s, driven by 100w valve heads. Again impractical, but I do miss them.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]2 Vox T60 cabs, 15s and 12s, with a Roost 100w valve head sounded pretty good too. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I wonder at times if all the advances manufacturers are making are sometimes not a backward step when it comes to sound.[/font][/color]

Great clip. Strange how the song speeds up as soon as the drums come in. I though it was just us.

I've just bought plans from, http://www.johnanthonyguitars.com. They're available either directly or via ebay and are full size. You could cut out the various bits, glue them to whatever wood takes your fancy and make your own templates. I think they're not bad value at £9.99 a plan and £3.20 total postage. I tried the Australian plans but they don't post to the UK and they're a tad expensive in my opinion.

As Antlokyer said, Jack Bruce plays sitting and if it's good enough for him it's good enough for you.

In the 60s, the Verithins would have come with tape wound strings, sorry, flats as standard. Infact, they were the only strings you could buy. If I were you, I'd measure the string length and e-mail Rotosound or the string manufacturer of your choice and find out what strings they make that could fit your bass. Good luck with finding the right strings.

I just love Blowing Free.

The fuse in the plug is 13 amps, the ring main that it's connected too is 32 amps. Any problems use another socket as well.

Have a look at the Yamaha range. Might well be what you're looking for.

Brilliant company with service second to none. I strongly recommend them.

You may think that you'll never be the best bass player in the world but you will be the best thebrig type bass player in the universe!

Araldite.

I've built and use BFM, Otop 12s and Titan 39s. Seriously good and I mean as good as Martin and Turbo sound and incredibly light and transportable and also incredibly efficient so a lot more decibels for your money. My suggestion would be to read as much as you can on the BFM forums and all your questions about crossovers, limiting, time delay and just about anything will be answered. Good luck.

+1 to the above. We use a pair of Equinox Mega Bars and one of these, http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?product=Showtec_Showmaster_48_48_Channel_DMX_Dimming_Console&id=SHO50356. Brilliant. We've got a guy who works it all for us, but we could just use the foot controller that comes with the mega bars.

I'd see it as all venues in an area, pubs, clubs anywhere bands play. We have venues that are great for covers and others that only do heavy or metal and a few that you'd be out of place without your cowboy hat and as previously said, good or bad agents and promoters and also venues to play and not to play, infact, everything you'd want to know in advance when approaching a new venue.

Everyone knows where the good local gigs are but it's a lot harder to find gigs not in your area. This a great idea for bands who travel to find gigs around the UK and possibly abroad.

Never thought of that.

I wear a hat and positively hate to see music stands on stage. Learn the song. As a hat wearer what category am I in?

Not sure about the phone db meter. Got a couple and not only are they totally out with each other, they are totally out with a 'real' db meter. If you want to check db levels I'd suggest getting a 'proper' meter.

Don't seem to fit in any of those categories, we must be unique.

1. Pop down to Halfords or Car Crazy and get a can or 2 of primer and 2 or 3 large spray cans of your chosen colour. 2. Try here. http://www.craftycomputerpaper.co.uk/category/Decal-Paper. Looks great and clear varnish over the top. 3. Leave the paint to dry for a few weeks, rub down with wet & dry paper 2000 grit and polish to a great shine with T-cut. 4. Leave it as it is. You could flat it down with wet and dry and T-cut it if you want. 5. Car body filler, Halfords or Car Crazy again. Rub down with decreasing grades of glass paper then wet & dry until as smooth as the rest of the bass. Good luck.
