Kiwi

Bassjamm used to own one, I think he might have sold it on however...

I've used 1) two channel amp 2) Y connector with two wireless units 3) EBS Microbass II 4) Rack mixer The rack mixer is probably best if you have basses that have different output levels and no other way to control input gain.

Nothing yet, it all depends on how often they check their email. I'm sure he's got better things to do...unlike myself. :blush:

But might there not be some bandwidth issues if he's as popular as it seems?[/quote] Phatmonkey owns the server, not BC but I'm pretty sure there's some spare capacity. How much though, I couldn't say. I've dropped Thomas an email and we'll see what he thinks.

I think it has been posted elsewhere. We have a fair bit of spare space on the BC server so it might be worth Phatmonkey dropping him a line and seeing what the score is.

Would anyone like to do a potted history of Trace for the wiki?

FWIW there's quite a bit of information on Wiki. [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_Elliot"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_Elliot[/url] EDIT: er... ...well at least there used to be a lot of information... ...still, there's always [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-319086.html"]Talkbass[/url].

what a great toy!

I haven't owned one myself, but I've been told the bass with the Villex system is the one to go for rather than the Bart loaded models. Yes they can have more attack and more prominent midrange but the softness of the body wood is key.

I wonder what all those knobs do? EDIT: I've worked it out. Some of them run the country.

[quote name='AndyMartin' post='430330' date='Mar 10 2009, 12:08 PM']Fender should sort this out without question.[/quote] Absolutely, the cause is most likely to be that they have used wood that hasn't been properly dried out. They've had the wood in stock, sawn it while still damp and its still had tensions in the grain while continuing to dry out after its been fitted to the bass. No question in my mind that defective materials are to blame. It would need checking but I'd hope you would still be protected under consumer legislation regardless of the guarantee offered by Fender.

We had the same issue for our promo video as well, we ended up just lip synching and miming rather than try to record something half decent live.

I think Warwick have a set of strings designed BEAD for their basses...?

Well FWIW, I like the sound of the 1994 red one I have (which Alex said was the second jazz Chris ever made) more than the black one which was a little bit of a one trick pony for my purposes. I'm going to ask Andy at Wizard to wind the pickups so there's more warmth and lower mids coming out and then I think it might be the last jazz I ever own.

I believe her name is pronounced Me-shel Nuh-duh-gey-o-chello. In terms of her creative process, her lyrics have been pretentious at times in the past but the deal is that you're with her on her creative journey for better or worse. She more or less expects your tolerance and appreciation as a fan. I don't have a problem with that personally.

Oh Dan, that reminds me so much of a Tobias...coincidence?

Ooh, and another thing, did you test the USB installation on your PC with all the other periperals unplugged? MIDI devices and webcams can sometimes be incompatible with each other for some reason.

[quote name='JPJ' post='428863' date='Mar 8 2009, 08:50 PM']Yes Steve, its the USB driver I'm after. In my frustration, I missed that bit out of my earlier post![/quote] Hmmm. Unfortunately you might be out of luck if the XP driver doesn't work with Vista and the company went out of business before Vista was released. However, just as a left field idea, it might be worth seeing if there's a common chipset between your keyboard and a make that is still in production perhaps? You never know, they might be cross compatible. Alternatively perhaps there is a WinXP emulator out there which you could install on a trial basis?

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='428652' date='Mar 8 2009, 04:08 PM']On a slightly more frivolous note, I have seen some truly great Basschat virtuoso players at the Bass Bashes but [u]no-one[/u] comes close to the guy who 'slapped' his way through about 5 hours at the National Bash last March! Think my ears are still bleeding.. [/quote] He's banned from BC too. Apart from Bilbo and Urb, do we have any other tasty fretless players?

Kev, do you need a USB driver?
