It's clearly not a performance as we know it, but I suppose it counts as a performance within the narrow confines of the law.[/quote] It's not the first time the PRS has been caught out by making clearly ridiculous demands. Remember the guitar shop told that they needed a licence to cover customers playing songs of PRS members when trying out instruments.

We've already had a thread about that elsewhere.

It's certainly been very very hard work since Simone left. I think she's now working for Vintage and Rare.

Yes, you can use it for amp modelling and effects, but none of the polyphonic stuff will work, so no instrument modelling and no synths. Maybe it's time to think about owning more than one bass and pick up a cheap something through the forum. As long as it plays OK, it doesn't matter what it sounds like! Dave.c picked up a very decent little Cort for not very much outlay just to use with his V-Bass. There is another way, if you want to get the best out of the V-Bass and stick with the Status- you can get a set of piezo saddles and a midi expander board from Graphtec. Not cheap though, and will require some mods to the Status.

Speculation of course.[/quote] Given the comment that 'half the speakers in the cab will only produce lower frequencies' , I'd say it is particular speakers rather than particular speaker.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1068652' date='Dec 24 2010, 12:03 PM']£455 and rising [/quote] Holy crap. For that price you could buy a V-Bass, a GK3b and a bass to fit it to!

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='1068859' date='Dec 24 2010, 05:06 PM']Doubt it, I wouldn't fancy my chances balancing a valve amp on top of a vertical 6x10! [/quote] Good point, I think it would need to be at least a 6x12"

Well, we tried Merton's with my Burman 100W valve head at one of the bashes and while there are no definitive measurements, it was definitely loud enough! [quote name='Merton' post='1067720' date='Dec 23 2010, 12:55 PM']How different from the Vintage is this, just out of curiosity? (No, I am not going to buy one, my next purchase is a Big Twin!!)[/quote] I'd like to know that too.

Now here's something you don't see every day - a Greco. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage87-GRECO-RB-model-Bass-MADE-JAPAN-/280607796836?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4155872e64"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage87-GRECO-RB-m...=item4155872e64[/url]

[quote name='dbass' post='1065696' date='Dec 21 2010, 02:26 PM']*puts anti-nuclear flash glasses on* Christ Jesus, they are bright!!!![/quote] You should see them under UV light! Don't have a picture of that, probably just as well. Ady, the rest of the band admired them for the obligatory 30 seconds and then moved on to the usual whinges! As for sound, they sound remarkably like the DR Sunbeams, I had on my G&L2500 which is not a massive surprise. Rich and round and warm, if you like that kinda thing. I'll admit I was originally thinking about putting them on the TRB5, but the colour is just too much of a clash. Seems a much better fit with the natural wood of the Bass Collection.

There is a lot of great information on this site, the trick is not to try and overload yourself. Check out the major's bass boot camp [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=74284"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=74284[/url], don't try and do all of this, and not in one go, just dip in and out when you feel the need for something new to work on.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1062877' date='Dec 18 2010, 08:09 PM']+1 on the Bonnie Raitt song. Personally, I hate bad salads.[/quote] Yeah, nobody sings a torch song like Bonnie Raitt. Love Has No Pride is another great one. I'd like to nominate My Immortal by Evanesence - here's Amy singing it: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2qZt8l7Xy8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2qZt8l7Xy8[/url]

[quote name='greyparrot' post='1062551' date='Dec 18 2010, 03:24 PM']so far ours is on but i dunno...............its pretty crap here and getting worse by the min.[/quote] Hm, in Witham? What do reckon my chances of getting to Great Cornard are like?

I'm heading off to Great Cornard in Essex shortly for a Pogues tribute gig. No problems here, though theres snow forecast for later on.

[quote name='tauzero' post='997717' date='Oct 23 2010, 01:25 AM']Just to add to the Wakemanny stuff, he also played keyboards on Bowie's "Life on Mars".[/quote] He did the whole Hunky Dory album. I hated Yes. Still do. Can't get past the awful vocals. ELP, now there's a proper prog band.

+1 for Banzai, I have one of their A/B/Y boxes and it's quality.

[quote name='badgerific' post='1059063' date='Dec 14 2010, 10:07 PM']I think the Lineal is based on a EHX LPB-1 and he HardOne is a Zvex SHO clone.[/quote] Thanks for that. In that case the Zvex clone is probably the one I'll go for. I also found these guys: [url="http://www.diypedalkits.com/"]http://www.diypedalkits.com/[/url] . Has anyone here had anything to do with them? Kind regards, Pete

[quote name='LukeFRC' post='1058101' date='Dec 14 2010, 12:59 AM']seeing as you will end up getting all your stuff from www.musikding.de look at their kits....[/quote] That's very handy - I was just thinking that I could really use a clean boost pedal, and here are two of them! Would anyone care to comment on what the difference might be between the Lineal and the HardOne, other than the former has a linear pot and the latter a log pot?

Here's what they look like in a gig situation under typical pub lights and Maplin 4-bulb flash boxes. Excuse the bass face! [url="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150351425820524&set=a.10150351424855524.582963.342366270523"]http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=101...63.342366270523[/url]

[quote name='obbm' post='1054455' date='Dec 10 2010, 07:58 PM']My cunning plan is to build something similar but a lot smaller or perhaps a pleasure stool. [/quote] What you need is a bumchum. [url="http://www.thebumchum.co.uk/"]http://www.thebumchum.co.uk/[/url] "It consists of our very own throne top with the finest Tactile Generator mounted internally (Patent Pending)" - I think that means it's fitted internally into the stool :-)

Status Hotwires - £16.50 for one set including postage. I have a set of 30-50-70-90 I don't need (was actually a 5-string set and I only used the low 'B') - yours for a tenner, posted. PM me if you're interested.

Not crap. But with less than a day to go, this is way too cheap! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190476474705&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url]
