Fender Rumble. Next!

Can you? Yes. Should you? No! Well maybe. Bear in mind the side dots will be in line with the frets and not in-between, unless you get them moved at the same time.

I always coil my cables as per the video. If you make all the windings the same way, you end up with more and more twist in the cable, which manifests itself in loops and kinks that encourage tangling.

As a Mustang owner/player, I can confirm that long-stretch bass-lines on the lower frets are much easier on a short-scale. The difficulty comes when you revert to 34in scale!

I find I have to crank the gain pretty high on my Genz Benz head to get the preamp to overdrive on loud notes, but that is minimal compared to the kind of overdriving that valves are subjected to in guitar amps!

My fave is the Limelight P

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1408270171' post='2528423'] Since my PC died I've been viewing BC on my phone. So I've been learning things about the advantages (and otherwise) of mobile browsing. One issue becomes very clear - a lot of members post hefty, unprocessed pics that take ages to download at best and at worst trigger an 'Aw, Snap!' message, which means the entire thread cannot be viewed. So I can't see your FS threads, people! It's very easy to sort - if you don't have appropriate software on your pooter you can use an online pic optimiser such as www.imageoptimizer.net Think of your multi-platform viewers and increase your potential customers, people! I thank you! [/quote] What is optimum pic size for mobile viewing? Or will that optimizer website sort that for you?

I thought the centre speaker was for dialogue (in 5.1 anyway), not enhanced bass?

Clearly Fender took an ugly great gouge out of the body, in the vague shape of a J pickup, then filled it in with pus-coloured gunk. This sort of thing used to happen at the Fender factory all the time - or so it 'is believed'.

3 in June 5 in July 4 in August Average 4 per month - can't complain!

I'm probably too fond of slippers and a nice cup of tea for this, but the material is good and I wish you well.

After 3 years successfully running my own band, I have become somewhat cheesed off with the all the admin required, so I am launching out as a full-on hired-gun depping kind of a chap. Hit me! [attachment=169238:Guitarist_card.png]

I've seen andyonbass a couple of times, playing double bass / EUB in [url="https://www.facebook.com/imperial.gmen"]The Imperial G-Men[/url]. I was impressed with the DB sound coming through his amp and the PA, but I don't envy him the harder path he has chosen compared to playing bass guitar. I should also mention I have played guitar in a band when he's been on bass guitar, but that's surely a whole other thread!

[quote name='PlungerModerno' timestamp='1406899490' post='2515751'] Good video! Very good info, lots of tips and advice put straightforwardly. A quick note: even if there's a clip light . . . [b]LISTEN FOR CLIPPING!!!![/b]... the light may not catch some minor transient clipping (or the blink can be missed by the observer!). Good DAW's e.g. Reaper show clipping visually in a clear way so this is less of a problem than with some older digital recording methods. [/quote] +1. ears before eyes every time when recording. In fact that goes for amp settings when playing live too!

I have had good results from a Blue Mikey that plugs into the (old-style) dock connector of my iPod. There are 3 sensitivity levels (selected via a switch on the mic), and you can set the iPod (or iPhone I guess) to record at low or high quality. Next time you connect to your computer, the .wav files are imported into iTunes. After that you can do what you want with them e.g. upload to Dropbox for the rest of the band to listen to. Great for proving that the guitar(s) is/are too loud!

I think they called that finish 'magma'. A mate of mine still has one of these.

Ditto. And my age is more than double the maximum, and nearly 3x the minimum!
