Ah, yes your'e right, I did.

The Zoom B3 offers the following modelled amps: Ampeg SVT, Fender Bassman100, Hartke HA3500, SWR SM900, Ampeg B15, Acoustic 360, Aguilar DB750, Polytone Mini Brute III, Marshall Super Bass, Gallien Krueger 800RB, Eden WT800, Mark Bass Little Mark III [url="http://www.zoom.co.jp/products/b3/"]http://www.zoom.co.jp/products/b3/[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/161173-new-zoom-b3/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/161173-new-zoom-b3/[/url]

Good poster design, and pretty much any form of visual communication, relies on an understanding of how we interpret information visually and what attracts our eyes first. Here are some basic principles (all of which can be broken by the experienced designer) The western eye reads left to right and top to bottom. Its attracted to areas of high contrast first and easier to read things (bigger letters, outlines or whatever). The layout doesn't have to be symmetrical but its important to ensure that its balanced. I can help with how to acheive that if you get that far. The information usually needs to be presented in the form of a heirarchy so figure out what is most important to someone who has never seen the poster before. One technique I use is to squint and see what I can still read. Another is to pin up the design and walk past it to see what I can make sense of first. If I have a lot of space and few elements I sometimes use the golden square which is to divide the page into equal thirds, from top to bottom and from left to right, and locate the most important element so that its touching two perpendicular axes. The other elements can then be arranged around them in ever decreasing order of importance.

My old band had these. We had them repaired under guarantee...twice...by Wembley Loudspeakers because of over heating issues. And they were ready to deny there was an issue until we publicised it.

'Owz about 'edge'og stew an' a bottle of meths in a brown bag, that we can all pass 'round? Dress code: Patched up army surplus and fingerless gloves, with silly hat, hawaiian shirt or football socks.

It couldn't be a real one unfortunately, it would be a potential fire hazard and produce carbon monoxide.

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1365028063' post='2034460'] I'm so going to be there Would be absolutely awesome if we could do the Basschat Meeting Corner all over again. I'm happy to (wo)man the corner again next year if we find a space. [/quote] If we start saving now, I'd hope we might be able to stretch to a stall somewhere quiet. In an ideal world it would be hilarious to show up with a Gippo caravan like we have on the Facebook page and have a fake campfire for people to sit around.

[quote name='ikay' timestamp='1364974854' post='2033393'] I think stiffer necks such as graphite have a higher resonance frequency (not lower). This generally has the effect of moving any potential deadspots up into the higher fretted note range or beyond. [/quote] To be honest, its been a year since this topic was last discussed and its possible I may have confused myself in the meantime. I recall Alembic saying the peak went down, but Michael Tobias says it goes up. But anyway, here's a vid; [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/1324-neck-dead-spots/page__view__findpost__p__867638"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/1324-neck-dead-spots/page__view__findpost__p__867638[/url]

Deadspots happen when the resonancy frequency of the wood in the neck overlaps with the harmonics of a note. Graphite necks are normally stiff enough to mean a very low resonancy frequency - with the exception of Moses Jazz necks (which I had a dead spot on). Moses steinberger necks are fine though.

Tom Jones gets lots of stage presents.

Chic are playing in London in July I think.

Welcome aboard JR [quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1363787424' post='2017582'] I've been on stage with Derren Brown, FACT [/quote] Did you humiliate yourself?

What kind of circult are you replacing?

They could! I played the Energy 5 in the Bass Gallery last week. Wanted so much to like it but...it did lack warmth...particularly compared to Pino's Wal.

Foam is structurally pretty strong given the surface area. I've had expanding poly glue recommended to me by joiners as top flight stuff. PVA does contract when it dries and it also swells the wood because its water based. PVA is cheap so it wouldn't surprise me that its being used a lot by US cab manufacturers! If it was me, I'd be running a bead with both glues.

Plus 1 for shuttle - sounds more Trace than Trace. Cleaner, more neutral, louder and more efficient.

That's fairly decent money by anyone's standards considering living expenses and flights are covered. I've visited China maybe 12 times in the past.

Paul McCartney is still going strong. Doesn't have enough time in the year to cram all of the invitations to perform apparently.
