Just finished failing to work out the bass run in Megadeth's 'Killing is my business', now listening to the Radio Stars - 'Songs for swinging lovers' and I bet no-one else is.

[quote name='peted' post='242356' date='Jul 18 2008, 08:14 AM']Is there any kind of Bass Bash etiquette?[/quote] How about 'Can I use my plectrum on your nice bass please Mr?' And 'Can I leave my belt and bracelet on?'

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='243239' date='Jul 19 2008, 10:28 AM']I have listed most of the currently available 1x12 cabs on the [url="http://wiki.basschat.co.uk/info:amps:lightweight_cabs"]basschat wiki [/url][/quote] Nice work, ta. I've added the Zoot 112 sensitivity (99dB) as it's not listed in their site yet.

[quote name='YouMa' post='244185' date='Jul 21 2008, 12:53 AM']Just been listnin to some old ozric tentacles stuff lately, the bass on the early stuff was class,i think Roly wynne was the bass player,i also just found out he has passed away! a few years back and it was suicide. How awful does anyone know what happened?[/quote] I agree - Roly was a fantastic player and very nice guy, but he didn't get on too well with acid, if I remember correctly. Halloween 1999, he passed away. RIP Roly. He played some good stuff with Damidge too.

[quote name='Mr Fudge' post='244130' date='Jul 20 2008, 11:05 PM']I have an old steamer in the garage...[/quote] Me too, but she comes in to cook & clean.

Ernie Ball stainless steel hybrid slinkys. This week anyway. Lo-riders went off after 1 gig, D'Addario nearly snapped the neck, Fenders were too quiet and the elixir came off the Elixirs far too quick for the price. Better then DR's tho.

Is the bloke on the left having a 'cabinet reshuffle' or reaching for his harmonica? Is the lady on the pints & the fella on the wine? Don't tell Al Murray

[quote name='obbm' post='242483' date='Jul 18 2008, 10:41 AM']It this yet another facet of the British Nanny State. We have been running bashes for several years without any rules or etiquette and without problems. Why do we have to start now? Most BCers are responsible and considerate people.[/quote] Never thought of that - there's always the bar! Or outside for the smokers, not Clauster of course.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='242365' date='Jul 18 2008, 08:42 AM']I think the idea of a bit of scheduled quiet time is a good plan.. Anyone else agree?[/quote] Aye.

[quote name='acidbass' post='241154' date='Jul 16 2008, 06:42 PM']I own a similar combo to you, and I've always assumed that - Out = Pre EQ In = Post EQ Some of the buttons on the amp are quite confusing like that, but because Pre EQ is generally the accepted standard for DI'ing I presume that they've went the logical route by keeping the button in the Out position.[/quote] Makes sense, might see if they respond to an email too (be a first). Ta fellas.

Would anyone be able to enlighten me as to whether the Pre/Post EQ button should be in or out for a pre-EQ send? The manual just gibbers on about the 'floating ground' etc, without cutting to the chase and telling me what's what. Obviously, I'd rather my stupidity manifested itself here than on stage. Ta, Lager. EDIT: Title ammended with solution
