For those of you who haven't been getting email notifications, could you please check whether your email provider/account is blocking basschat.admin(at)googlemail.com? We're getting a whole heap of emails bounced back from a number of addresses in the admin inbox. I hadn't paid it much attention before because every time I checked they'd only come from one account (which had a load of notifications set up). But I've just discovered they're coming from more than one account.

I'm curious to know why a filter-based preamp? What benefits are you looking for? I'm not sure that a sweepable mid band is the same as a band pass filter. My understanding is that band pass filters attenuate frequencies outside the selection being passed. The sweepable mid band control on a 3 band pre cuts and boosts the frequencies selected, it doesn't pass them or attenuate outside the selected spectrum.

Freaky finish!

This is the bass I referred to earlier. Although having seen yours I'm not so sure its cherryburst any more...could be sienna burst if they offered that colour back then or maybe a very faded standard sunburst.

Not as rare as a Cherryburst with matching headstock This bloke seems to think that Cherryburst was offered only for one year. [url="http://www.classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/basses/cbprecision.htm"]http://www.classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/basses/cbprecision.htm[/url] I saw a 50's P bass in cherryburst with an anodised scratch plate a few weeks back and it looked stunning. Nice bass Matt - congrats!

The earlier Tobias growler model had separate eq per coil. Suspect its the same here, maybe each control is bass boost-treble cut/treble boost-bass cut? A bit like the Haz Labs eq in the original Steinbergers (which is a bloody good eq BTW)

I love them, cheap as possible. Olympia titanium strings? Made in Sweden. EBS titanium strings? Made in Sweden. What are the chances...? Cost? EBS - £24 Olympia - £8 Nuff said.

I'm bumping this thread. The amount of errors is getting overwhelming. Ped and I need some extra help given Ben doesn't have the time to put into it. I know people have suggested names above but if you could confirm that they can deal with debugging settings and databases, I'd be grateful. Alternatively drop me a PM.

Sorry to hear you and others are still having issues Barney. Its not clear whether the forum is actually responsible for how your browser functions from what you've described. I realised it was happening when you were accessing the forum but have you checked whether all your software is up to date?

No mention of phone tapping though. Outrageous.

OK thanks for your participation everyone. I'm going to close the poll. Although the votes in favour of the reputation system across two choices were marginally ahead, it was a fairly even result. I'm not sure that the poll has demonstrated much apart from clarifying how opinion is so divided over the topic. So I guess the prudent thing to do would be to act conservatively and deactivate the rep system.

My experience agrees with him. Not even grooving helped me though.

It's the Moussad. They keep picking on us.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1322155946' post='1447380'] I've tried and tried, but I just can't use any kind of visual aid to help me remember music. Don't know why. [/quote] I've found stress affects my ability to retain information. Experience that allows you to focus on the differences between the format of songs (instead of memorising the song in its entirety) before focussing on the detail (eg. phrasings at particular points) also helps.

I think the term 'talent' needs further definition in the OP. There's an old adage about 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. I'd tend to agree. I was described as 'talented' at drawing from a fairly young age. I don't think I was talented at all. I just enjoyed doing it and developed the skill. I started off from a position of not being able to draw at all, just like everyone else. Drawing helped me express a very vivid childhood imagination in a very tangible way. That was the reward for me as I guess it is for most kids. The only difference was that I spent more time doing it than other kids. The "hard work" seems more like play if its enjoyable and rewarding. Generally I believe perceptions of whether someone is talented just underlie a lack of appreciation about the time and effort its taken to get to the point where it looks easy. However. There is one exception.

There's no synth bass in the intro, could you be clearer?

Nice post Bluejay

About 1.35 litres. I can fit three songs in there among all the other baggage.

I used Chrome with no problems at all. Have you run all the updates for it?

OK so 30 more votes in the last 24 hours. Looks like it might be tailing off a little...has everyone who wanted to vote done so?

One can be right and unpopular. This is democracy in action.
