[quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1366537539' post='2053579'] The worst thing I've noticed is people beginning sentences with "So"... (Smiley face) [/quote] Do people have TIM for that?

Thanks guys

So its becoming a little clear to me with the Voodoosnake and Grand Wazoos threads and an observable drop in general silliness on the forum that there is some tension building within the community. Also, on the admin/modding side we're getting an overwhelming number of reports coming in for the mods to handle and not only can they simply not cope any more but they're being subject to a lot of hostility when following things up. I'd be really interested to find out more about what's going on. Constructive feedback on anything, including how the classifieds are being managed at the moment would be really welcome.

Oh, for goodness' sake! Beware the neck joint lacquer cracker!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1366370996' post='2051583'] So if we said (for example) that EBMM basses are actually made in [REMOVED ON LEGAL ADVICE] out of [REMOVED ON LEGAL ADVICE], it would be wrong? [/quote] Only if you could claim that [REMOVED ON LEGAL ADVICE] your [REMOVE ON LEGAL ADVICE] at the same time as they [REMOVED ON LEGAL ADVICE] your [REMOVED ON LEGAL ADVICE]. Otherwise there is a risk of [REMOVED ON LEGAL ADVICE] and [REMOVED ON LEGAL ADVICE] getting inside your [REMOVED ON LEGAL ADVICE] and making you [REMOVED ON LEGAL ADVICE]. But I'd seek legal advice on that. -
Only old men who can't adapt, young things who STILL think vintage is cool and failed guitarists play four strings. Real bass players play fives. Play 6 or more..? Guitarist.

Ah the herd mentality, this is democracy in action. Its like trying to fight a mudslide. You can state your case but beyond that, let it wash over you.

Encourage learners, or 'Tell it like it is'..?

Either - just develop a bit of empathy and the right way to handle things will become clear. -
This was mentioned on the BC facebook page on Sunday. I'm excited.

There was a 410 cab on here a long time ago that had two 10" cones wired to separate outputs. I nearly bought it as it could have sounded good on a sub woofer. But I was looking for something smaller at the time.
-
Yes, I should have said the same thing but have been a little distracted today. The stereo, wet highs, mono dry lows worked for John Entwhistle too. But its a bugger to load/unload unless a one cab solution is available with separate ins.
-
I have a stereo set up if I expect to be using chorus or delays. It's nice to feel enveloped by the stereo field but when I've used it in a band setting, the lower frequencies have tended to sound a bit muddy in the onstage mix and its difficult to pitch. Better to have a mono stage for lows (say below 300hz) and stereo for everything above that. Low volumes on stage are great for monitoring AND TIMING. But getting the drummer to turn down can be difficult at times.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1365959403' post='2046547'] One off Jaydee?? Truely unique... [/quote] Do you know how many one off Jaydees there are in existence? -
He is His book of Chic transcriptions is fantastic BTW.

I have a Gumfert and Stodge bass banjo from around 1645. Their workshops were located in the settlement of Pilley in the New Forest where supplies of oak, sycamore, ash and horse glue were plentiful. Once the instruments were constructed, Mr Gumfert was well known for getting down on those bad boys at local fairs and taverns to the great amusment of local villagers who were just expecting music. The instrument is heavily gigged as you might expect but retains its original varnish finish. Of note is particular wear around the tip of the headstock where the varnish has been rubbed away. Stickers from around 1830 have also been carefully removed by a qualified instrument restorer at Grabbit and Funk Ltd. Otherwise all works perfectly.

[quote name='Kevin Glasgow' timestamp='1365692488' post='2043036'] I'd better get the old metronome out [/quote] [i]"I'm watching you."[/i]

My vote goes to "The Big Nasty".
-
I think a badge snob is someone who would buy an inferior instrument because of the brand. I have some nice label-snob basses but I bought them because their resale value is generally better than those without the brand. My main bass is still only worth £600.

G'day

[quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1365595934' post='2041514'] Gregg was David Lee Roth's drummer from 86-91 and is currently Spinal Tap's first choice. [/quote] I'd be taking a life insurance policy out on him then.
-
Marcus used that Fodera on stage with Miles Davis IIRC Looks like he's keeping the Status 2000 and Valley Arts MB4 then...
-
I already spoke to him about it last week and mentioned I thought the bass was a beater. He said he'd change the listing or remove it.

[quote name='lefrash' timestamp='1365528139' post='2040771'] Wham - club Tropicana. Such a well known tune, and its got a slap bass solo as an intro, and some lovely little slap fills thrown in. [/quote] Have you heard the bass solo...yes BASS SOLO, on the extended version of I'm Your Man? It's a bit tasty. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P4L2eZ-t_o"]https://www.youtube....h?v=8P4L2eZ-t_o[/url] Skip to 4:30. And...in a futile attempt to stay on topic... ...NO SLAP BASS AT ALL.

These basses are what I think modern Fenders should be. If I didn't have the Spector, I'd have one of these and maybe install some more versatile electronics. Some nice growly sounds can be hand, so I understand?
