Quite unusual, anyone seen one before? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gibson-Epiphone-Bass_W0QQitemZ300340728172QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item45edb3d16c&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gibson-Epiphone-Bass...id=p3286.c0.m14[/url]

Yup, Virtual Dub can split the files without re-encoding the mwhich reduces quality, Windows Movie Maker can only do it by re-encoding them which is a bit pants.

+1 That's what I use, [url="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/virtualdub/virtualdub-experimental/1.9.4.32559/VirtualDub-1.9.4.zip?use_mirror=kent"]here's a link[/url]. Get VirtualDub, open the file. Make sure audio and video are set to 'direct stream copy' in the menu so it doesn't try to re-encode the video. Hold down the shift key and drag the slider around (which snaps to 'key frames' which are faster to seek to and are the points where it's best to snip the video), place the start and end markers atthe desired points and hit save to export that potion of the avi. If you can't open the avi, try installing the latest version of [url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/files/"]ffdshow[/url].

Yeah, take me off the list too please. I'm not after a new cab right now, but when I come around to it it'll probably be the Big One, and I can hopefully check one out at the forthcoming bash!

I do this with 2 devices; a Radial JDI (any DI box will do) and a [url="http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/MA400.aspx"]Behringer Micromon[/url]. Bass goes into the DI, which also has the pass through to the amp - alternatively you can use the DI output of your amp. The XLR output on the DI then goes to the mic input on the Micromon, which has a thru socket for sending the bass to the main FOH mixer if desired. You can send the monitor mix (or iPod) to the line in on the Micromon, it has no thru socket but if you need to send the monitor/iPod to another source you could easily use a simple splitter adaptor like this (since a thru socket would likely just be wired up directly to the input it achieves the exact same thing): The cheapo mixer option would work, but be warned, a passive bass won't sound great plugged straight into a low impedance mixer input, you're best off with a DI box going to the mixer! You could also check out the [url="http://www.rolls.com/product.php?pid=PM351"]Rolls PM351[/url]: Although it's larger and way more expensive then the Behringer. The Behringer sounds good, has low noise and is really tiny (smaller than it looks on-screen).

I've sold it now, but I had a nice Warmoth SG for sale on here a little while ago: Not all the Gibsons / Epis are short scale either. The Epiphone EB-0 is shortscale and the EB-3 is longscale and has dual pickups. Not too sure on the Gibsons but I believe there are both type floating around. I've also heard that the Epis sound very muddy compared to the Gibsons, but that might be what you're after!

[quote name='retroman' post='575793' date='Aug 20 2009, 04:59 PM']Is it just me.....Or does it look like its had a 3 bolt neck put on a four bolt body?? Look closely at the picture of the back of the bass, and use the zoom option [/quote] "The neck and body join is to an expert professional standard." My arse!

The Pedaltrain Jr with soft case is much lighter, which is a big deal if you're lugging stuff around on public transport. By the way, the Spider Engineering medium pedalboard case is a nice snug fit for the Jr, with room for cables and stuff or maybe even a volume pedal down the side: [url="http://www.spider-engineering.co.uk/music/typeproducts2.asp?id=3877-4748"]http://www.spider-engineering.co.uk/music/...sp?id=3877-4748[/url]

My favourite colour for a P by far. Just missed out on the one that was sold on here - let me know if you ever decide to sell it!

I've always used the harmonic vs 12th fret - how come it gives a false reading?

You can use a laser printer with regular paper - the toner is etch resistant and you can transfer it using an iron. Then you just need to get a little DIY etching kit from Maplins. But if you only want this one off board then it's probably better to get someone else to do it for you unless you see yourself making a bunch more once you've finished that one!

Pyramid Gold flats on my P (the silkiest smoothest flats out there), DR Sunbeam rounds on my Peavey T-40, and Status half-rounds (which look and feel just like flats but are in fact ground down rounds) on my Yamaha fretless.

There's a BB415 in the for sale section, bargain price too!
