One tiny patch of carpet on the bare wooden stage...

I for one find that perfectly acceptable. Squier away to your heart's content!

If this were mine I would probably end up just looking at it rather than playing it!

Single coils. Put up with the hum or go for noise cancelling pickups
JapanAxe replied to a topic in General Discussion
I frequently gig on lead guitar with single-coil-equipped guitars, and often use two drive pedals at once for solos. Against the background of the other instruments, and on a stage large enough fro me to stand more than 4ft from my amp, it is rarely a problem. I really notice the hum at home though! However, all my basses are fully hum-cancelling, and I do remember hating audible hum when I used to gig a Jazz. As our American cousins say, go figure... -

I searched in vain for a barf emoticon so I have had to link to this one:

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1432466703' post='2781678'] Lets get the picture of the bass back, am intrigued [/quote] Yep, missing it now!

The first 2 digits of the s/n are bolder than the others - I don't recall seeing that before.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1430814944' post='2764704'] A walking line creates forward motion in a performance and that motion ordinarily references chord changes, be they diatonic of not, so your lines need to reference some element of forward momentum as they move from chord to chord, Playing random diatonic notes will not create this momentum so, whilst the notes may not be 'wrong', the line will suck. A great example of this is the bass playing on 'Moondance' (which is why I hate it). It has no internal logic and doesn't contribute to the music (it detracts from it, if anything). [/quote] *lightbulb moment* That probably explains why I find [i]Moondance[/i] so hard to retain in my head - it doesn't make musical sense!

[quote name='landwomble' timestamp='1432421772' post='2781396'] That was a very interesting article... [/quote] Maybe, but I quickly got bored of being ranted at!

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1432406091' post='2781231'] I never understand why people use the phrase "if you're looking at this you will already know about it". It smacks of either laziness or their own limited knowledge. Sorry, rant over, as you were! [/quote] +1! I frequently look at stuff I know nothing at all about, out of curiosity as much as anything else!

I realise I haven't used this for yonks, so I am putting it up for sale, priced to sell at [b]£30[/b] (firm). UK delivery would be a further [b]£10[/b], or PM me with your meet-up proposals (I live in Swindon and work in Oxford). Just in case you are not MIDI-savvy, this keyboard [u]makes no sounds of its own[/u], it is used purely as a controller for sound modules or software synths. As well as a 49-key velocity-sensitive keyboard with after-touch, and the usual pitch and mod wheels, it features 16 assignable knobs; so for example you could set them as volume controls for a 16-channel MIDI sequencer, or assign them to parameters such as resonance and cutoff frequency. It works from USB power or 6v DC adaptor (not supplied) or batteries (likewise). You can read more on the [url="http://www.creative.com/emu/products/product.aspx?category=532&pid=13558"]Creative website[/url]. Comes complete with box (slightly tatty), manual, USB cable, and I'll include a MIDI cable too! It originally came with deep-editing software, but it looks like that is no longer supported for either Windows or Mac platforms. The keyboard is in generally good condition, but there is a scratch (not a crack) on the front edge - see 4th pic. 49 keys for £30? You do the maths! -
There are so many fantastic basses you could get for that money. Btw did I ever tell you why I sold my Rickenbacker? I'll get me coat... But seriously, was it 'inspired' by a Burns?

[quote name='alembic63' timestamp='1432371790' post='2780881'] Haha.....I know,couldn't live with the slime green,had a few quotes for a restore to Antigua but in the end , sliced 10mm off the body and got Brian Eastwood to stick on the Rosewood veneer, and buckeyeburl top..... [/quote] You did right! I've never liked Antigua, and although I don't go a bundle on exotic woods, that bass is jaw-dropping!

[quote name='alembic63' timestamp='1432371094' post='2780867'] [/quote] Whaaa...? Blimey, I didn't expect that!
-
If the seller has been paid, and you have made every reasonable effort to get the buyer to collect it, I can't see the problem in now selling it on. I presume if the seller had not been paid, they would have asked for it back long ago!

[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1432242006' post='2779716'] i plan on doing a review as there doesnt seem to be one of this pedal done with a bass. andy [/quote] I use mine on one of my guitar pedalboards: However I did use it for an online Motown demo, through the preamp of a Streamliner. [media]http://cdn.bandmix.co.uk/bandmix_uk/media/292/292159/50063.mp3[/media] [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1432326932' post='2780615'] Why is the footprint so big, out of pure ignorant curiosity? [/quote] Because there is a mahoosive circuit board inside. The audio circuit is all discrete components (i.e. no ICs) and is based on the Urei 1176, which was a biggish rack-mount unit. (The ICs you can see are there to drive the LED ladder.) Having the knobs so big makes it much easier to set up accurately than, say, the MXR Bass Compressor.

Only one of my four basses has two pickups, and that one has a blend control, which works very well. I never got on with the 2 vols when I had a Jazz, and swapped one of the vols for a 3-way switch! Damon - is your bass active or passive, what blend pot did you use, and where did you get it from?

[quote name='hubrad' timestamp='1432293065' post='2780069'] I never had a problem, as such, with the lifting, but then I was mad into rock climbing so I suppose I was pretty fit at the time. TWO of the Peaveys, with a Trace preamp into a Peavey CS1000 power amp.. loud and very clean 'cos of the headroom, but that was a proper carful of gear! Thinking of this has reminded me that I wired a couple of speaker sockets into the boot of the car - Escort then Fiesta so I had to have the back seats down - then I could plug the bog-standard cassette player through the pair of 410Ts.. some thought it a little extreme! :-D [/quote] Any good for metal!?
