  1. [quote name='Naetharu' timestamp='1461106675' post='3031599'] The only downside is the presets that come with it are mostly useless. For some reason they went for loads of flashy effects rather than just good amp sounds so almost everything has some form of cave-like reverb, delay and sometimes more. [/quote] That is par for the course with modelling amps, and indeed multi-fx - they want to show off what they can do, to impress people trying them out in shops. Unfortunately it puts off those people who want good 'core' tones.
  2. [quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1461361953' post='3034130'] Any chance of the 410/610/810's? I'd like to try the Marshall Superbass through them. [/quote] And the 16x10 of course. We can hold the bash inside it.
  3. Ding, and indeed dong.
  4. [quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1461318950' post='3033600'] I know nothing about quantum computing. Is there a simple way you can explain negative delays? Obviously a computer won't be able to tell which note I'm going to play before I play it, so how does it work? [/quote] [url="http://www.explainthatstuff.com/quantum-computing.html"]This explanation[/url] is about as simple as it gets. But yes, the quantum computer would 'know' what note you were going to play a fraction of a second before you played it. On the macroscopic level (the world of 'big stuff' that we inhabit) that makes no sense, but there are other apparently nonsensical large-scale effects that flow from phenomena at the quantum level - an example is the famous [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment"]double-slit experiment[/url] in which a photon simultaneously follows two different paths. /physics
  5. [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1461326880' post='3033703'] "A long time" is pretty subjective - when you're a [s]toddler[/s] 20-something wannabe, 10 minutes is an eternity.... [/quote] Fixed
  6. [quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1461233116' post='3032639'] Personally I am excited about what quantum computing will bring. [/quote] Exploiting quantum uncertainty [i]in the time domain[/i] raise the possibility of negative delay, where the delayed signal occurs fractionally before the played signal. At present the theoretical maximum for a negative delay stage is in the picoseconds, but by chaining many stages in a chip (much as bucket brigade chips chain multiple stages), it could be possible to generate negative delays long enough for us to hear. Imagine hearing your echo signal just before you play it! I think it will be a few years yet before the costs come down though - I would expect the first units to be expensive high-end studio rack units.
  7. Try as many as you can, it has to be the one that speaks to you.
  8. [quote name='HazBeen' timestamp='1461101250' post='3031566'] So much sexier than a Stingray imo. [/quote] Hell yeah! And the active electronics are selectable, so you can carry on playing even without a battery.
  9. I am worried that the new badge is too upmarket for what is, after all, a workaday combo.
  10. Unfortunately the terms 'copyright', 'trade mark', 'design', and 'patent' get thrown around as though they were interchangeable. To understand how they work in the UK, toddle off to the [url="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/intellectual-property-office"]Intellectual Property Office[/url]. I dare say the US situation is slightly different...
  11. My 336 does great controlled feedback!
  12. I don't think it would affect the playability. As to sound, that's a long discussion for an Internet forum. Oh, wait... EDIT: Actually the smaller body is much more manageable now I think about it.
  13. I briefly owned an Epi 335 which was fine until I gigged it. The construction methods of the 335 and 336 are completely different: 335 has laminate front and rear over a centre block, 336 is Carved from solid and capped.
  14. [quote name='timhiggins' timestamp='1460884985' post='3029477'] my sentiments exactly plus this bit of genius ! [url="https://youtu.be/dKHvRHp9h0U"]https://youtu.be/dKHvRHp9h0U[/url] [/quote] [media]http://youtu.be/dKHvRHp9h0U[/media] Ah, the DFA switch!
  15. Congrats - these are fantastic guitars. I know this because I have one in black, with Bareknuckle Mississippi Queen pickups (mod by a previous owner). I have to say yours has more of the classic 335 look with that cherry finish. Excellent Dan cover - I have shared it on my FB page! What electronics mods are you contemplating? Here's mine:
  16. Godin have really cracked the bridge piezo thing. I have a Multiac nylon-string, and it sounds just lush!
  17. Definitely not too old! I didn't start on bass till I was 40.

  19. You may have an issue with the size of the Jazz pickups being different. Some are (were) different to allow for wider string spacing near the bridge, others are the same to save on tooling costs. Someone will be along in a minute with more accurate info on this...
  20. [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1460796674' post='3028765'] Here's a short snippet from the gig: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McsfaG_ycoI[/media] [/quote] Sounds good to me, although much of that has to do with the player (not wishing to be sycophantic of course).
