Hey Gully, Count yourself lucky! You've just been welcomed by Him! He's kind of a big deal around here (not really). Anyway, welcome! Is FNG a known acronym for something or something? Enjoy the site! best, bert

A friend of mine is an advanced musician, and she chose the Stagg too. She's very satisfied with it, and it has made her almost stop with bass guitars. Bloody sin, I know, but I'm only the messenger/piano player. I read the Palatino is supposed to be good, but it's a lot more expensive - here at least. best, bert

Congrats, man! best, bert

[quote name='Rigges' timestamp='1359752870' post='1960005'] Looked at more closely i changed my mind. From now on I'm from Switzerland. [/quote]

Hey Mastrollani, Welcome! Beatles: OK The Who: OK vintage gear: OK Yup! You passed. Enjoy the site! best, bert

Hey Andi, Welcome! I hope you'll find this site has a lot to offer. As to your question, I think it may be a good move to ask it once again on the Double Bass forum. Not everyone will read the introductions. Enjoy! best, bert

[quote name='Earbrass' timestamp='1359718005' post='1959195'] No votes for "reggie"? I picked one up once and couldn't get a note out, no matter how hard I blew. [/quote] Fixed

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1359686771' post='1958909'] It gives some of the old folks on here flashbacks [/quote] Verdamt! You've given me flashbacks about [b]both[/b] wars and the cold war! Dunderwetter! zum Wohl! bertold

Bad haiku, Leftyhook. Sorry. How about this premature attempt: my BMP 2 a gift but a gig virgin thus Spring became Fall best, bert

[quote name='jaydentaku' timestamp='1359669225' post='1958675'] I certainly heard that this was the case. [/quote] [quote name='Iana' timestamp='1359670225' post='1958713'] Sorry I didn't ask, he did say they change their tube suppliers from time to time but didn't relate that to the DI. If you need info it is worth calling them. I just got the phone number out of the handbook. I got put straight through and the guy I spoke to was really helpful and.happy to chat. [/quote] Thanks, guys! I love it when companies work like that. Makes me a loyal customer. best, bert

Ah! Cool. Thanks. I'd searched to no avail. best, bert

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1359661994' post='1958528'] If I couldn't be JJ I'd be Hugh. Hugh is uber cool. Saw him in Bristol and Southampton in 2012. [/quote] What? You mean he was touring? In case: how was it? best, bert

Nah. I like understating things with a broad pen. Thanks for telling. I'll change that. You may mean the Warwick News thread. It didn't contain that link, see, so I thought it could be ok to post it. best, bert

[quote name='Iana' timestamp='1359661117' post='1958504'] He explained that the hot DI issue has been sorted, they are also now fitting JJ tubes as standard. [/quote] Did he by any chance say whether these two changes happened at the same time, as in: "if you find JJs, then the DI is sorted"? best, bert

[quote name='Iana' timestamp='1359661117' post='1958504'] they are also now fitting JJ tubes as standard. [/quote] I'm sorry to read that. Dodgy stuff. [IMG]http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r525/basstractor1/JJTubes_zps64b16196.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1359655045' post='1958362'] I would love to be able to play the organ (inc foot pedals) though. [/quote] Great choice! Here's lesson 1, from an organist and pedant twat: It's called "pedals". No hand pedals exist. Me, I was inspired by the Jaws Harp option ( ), but voted Drummers, as drums are the complete alternative to bass and keyboards. Have started learning a little, for the time being on Derbouka and Djembe, and the moment I feel I practise enough on bass, I'll buy an electronic drum kit and find a drum teacher. best, bert

I might like to be in Emerson, Bert & Palmer. Sadly though, my chances are a lot better in Bert, Lake & Palmer. best, bert

Hey Ben, Welcome! You're extremely welcome, I'm sure, even though you like whiskey. Protestant or catholic? The whiskey, I mean. Enjoy the site! best, bert

Hey Andy, Welcome to BC! We can only excuse your poor English when you start writing poor English. Only logical, right? Though we're not very friendly towards metal basses, due to their tuning peculiarities. Stick to wood, Plexiglass and concrete, my advice would be. But enough with the nonsense: Enjoy the site, and enjoy the talk! best, bert

Welcome, Dean, but you make it very hard for us, seeing as you've been playing stringed breasts for more than 20 years. On a completely different note: as to bra jokes, you're in the clear. We don't like bras that much. That, and DD really means Dargie Delight, as the Music Man site will confirm. Mingle with the locals, have a little chat, and enjoy! beast, beart ... er ... bert

Hey Wayside, Welcome to hither. There's also ready made templates on eBay, from a seller called rockandroll-teez. Enjoy the site! best, bert

[quote name='ubassman' timestamp='1359617531' post='1957495'] where do I get help [/quote] Evidently and logically, that would be in Off Topic. I don't know whether to wish you good luck or not. Empty bank account makes one more grateful for the basses one has, yes? Of course it also depends on how many misses you've actually got. There are some break even points somewhere - I feel sure of it. They'll break you for sure. best, bert

Hey Josh, Welcome! Josh is just your English name, right? Or does it exist in Italy too? Anyway, I hope you enjoy the groove on this site. It's a good groove indeed. best, bert (Umberto for you)

Hey Coach, Welcome! Wow, what an introduction. I've always wanted to be coach at the Central Bureau for Gynaecology myself, but I guess it's nice enough to know one. As to getting a complete rig, the For Sale forum sports extremely low prices these days, so you're in for a steal or steals. As to the Sabre, it may be a relief to learn that Music Man have become a brand for losers like MusicMan20, Brensabre79, stingrayPete1977 and BassTractor, so there's little reason to hunt for the new Sabre Classic or even the tantalising Armada bass or the Game Changer with control app. Effing losers. Enjoy the site! best, bert
