[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1318542670' post='1403675'] Or maybe [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/scrap-lumber-bass-vs-alder-bass-can-you-tell-difference-743932/"]this is everything you need to know about wood[/url]. [/quote] All that test proves to me is that I would never buy a bass that sounded like any of those clips. As far as the debate goes, I own instruments that are made from different woods and they feel and sound consistently different from one another. Ironically my stingray and j-bass are supposed to sound identical to one another when played acoustically given they are made from a maple neck and ash body...and they don't. It's a no-brainer for me.

Kiwi replied to a topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Amazed that this hasn't sold... -

Hi Chris probably little you can do about the work computer if it hasn't been updated. However if you have windows 7 installed at home you can download a driver update utility here: [url="http://driver-pro.com/related/english/windows-7-updates/?a=7"]http://driver-pro.com/related/english/windows-7-updates/?a=7[/url]

OK there appears to be a common theme to many of the issues being reported. Some people are ok, others aren't and yet some have noticed different results on different machines running different levels of updated software. Could I suggest that everyone who have experienced browsing issues checks that all their web browsing software and windows updates are current? At minimum that would include macromedia, flash, java, windows updates and the latest versions of their browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera etc.). Log here if you have do that [u]and[/u] notice an improvement after a particular update, it might help us identify which one is causing issues.

Basschat - one big happy self congratulatory family. We've never had it so good.

Roland JV-1010 for sale - SOLD!
Kiwi replied to bottomfeed's topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
If I didn't already have a JV1080 I'd have snapped this up. For anyone wanting classic keyboard and bass synth patches, this unit punches way above its weight. -
Some of us on facebook tried to persuade Mark to call it 'Fat Bastard'. lol

Thanks Beedster. I'm sorry about the inconvenience. A lot of this just flies above the heads of Ped and I and we have to trust that Ben knows what the solutions are and that he can sort them out when he returns from his holiday. Thing is that we're often sold on the benefits of these upgrades but the bugs are never known until the installation has happened. I might also add that I'm having very few issues accessing the site from my laptop. Could it be that you have low bandwidth on your connection? I know some connections get slow because the local telephone exchange is over subscribed.

Stunning value for money, even though it's priced 300 quid more than they were 6 years ago.
-
Its a very interesting design. I'm taken with the whole flow thing going on. Wouldn't mind hearing what contribution the technical features make to the sound of the instrument.

The music industry has been more about industry than music since the early 80's. Mind you, everyone in a band did tend to end up with straighter teeth. Apart from Shane McGowan, that is.

We're currently dealing as best we can with a load of glitches that have appeared from the update. Some of them affect how the site functions, others are more of an inconvenience. There are so many of them that its unlikely we'll be able to deal with everything as quickly as we'd like. What we will do is create a list for Ben to look at and leave him to prioritise stuff. It might be that a number of issues end up being caused by the same bug. Whether there's a fix for the bug from Invision is another matter that needs bottoming out as well. So in the meantime, keep listing them here as it also makes us aware of which features get used more than others and thanks for your patience in the meantime.

Lets add it to the list though.

Ok I've checked the search engine settings. The search engine for Basschat is a 'daemon' called Sphinx which is a program which runs in the background. I'm guessing that this means the indexes are constantly updated because I can't find a manual rebuild setting in the Admin's control panel. I think this will have to be one for Ben to deal with. I can't see there's much I can do as an admin.
-
cheers Michael. OK I've had a look at the notification settings at last, it took a while to find them. The admin have choices to select each form of notification (and there must be about 20 or so) as email, log-in and/or mobile. I couldn't find a global setting for turning everything on or off. So what I've done is set all notifications to email as a short term measure. This is pretty much what we had on the previous version of the forum so I hope (but don't know for sure) that it means that both server and site are under less strain until Ben gets a chance to look into it.
-
It might be that the search engine needs re-indexing. I'll see if there's something that can be done behind the scenes.
-
We've discovered an issue with either the software or the server. Sending out email notifications slows the site down. We don't know why but as a short term measure Ped's turned off the email notifications. We can't have a quick site and notifications. Sorry about that everyone, we know its a PITA as its a useful feature. Although I'm still getting notifications for PM's. What are we doing about it? Ben is in the US at the moment and has limited internet access not to mention the last IP he used was blocked as a spamming IP address. He's aware of the issue and we're waiting to hear back about what can be done while he's away and what will have to wait until he returns. If its a problem with the software there may not be a lot we can do until Invision bring out a fix. Thanks for your patience with this.

Saw her supporting Prince in 2007, she's a kick arse act. Fully committed to what she does. Awesome. If she was in the US, I swear she'd be bigger than Whitney. BTW NJE had to edit your post to remove the link to a fake youtube site. Be careful about www.youtu.be
-
Haven't seen one of those before. It looks nearly identical to an Ibanez Musician but with an extra knob and two extra switches. Given the inlay, I wonder if it could be ex-Mark Egan?
-
As a Spector owner I can't really disagree with what Chris has said. There are differences between the streamer body shape and the spector shape. The streamers tend to have a deeper lower cutaway and narrower top horn. The contouring around the forearm is a little different too.

[quote name='bassist_lewis' timestamp='1317552752' post='1391671'] what about contracts? sign them here or out there? [/quote] I can't offer advice on that I'm afraid apart from making sure you get a copy of the contract well in advance of your leaving date. If you're happy with the terms of the contract better to sign it ASAP, otherwise things can be changed before you arrive. If you're not happy with the contract you're also in the strongest position to negotiate. The contact my band had was very reasonable, just be sure that your agent is reputable.

WITHDRAWN - Trace Elliot V8 Amp
Kiwi replied to hiram.k.hackenbacker's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1317486004' post='1391221'] Hi Crazykiwi, You mentioned "serial numbers so far logged". Did you find the list of V8 owners? I don't know what your amp shows, but my serial number is: 5 letters and numbers / a number (in your case 86) / 200. This format suggests to me 200 were made. Could it be possible that the 200 incorporates all V heads whether 4, 6 or 8? [/quote] I believe the website is no longer up because the owner sold his V8 a couple of years back, I think his name is username on here is Phyrexian if you fancy dropping him a line. That sort of information should go into the basschat wiki. The serial on mine follows the same format as yours but ends with 301, so I doubt that it refers to the total number made or model. Could be that it related to versions of the amp as refinements were made during its production. Also try using the Basschat search engine and see how many other topics with V8's come up.
