Anything by any prog band ever Especially Genesis A well known Bognor restaurant owner disappeared early this morning. Last seen in a mouse brown overcoat, suitably camouflaged they saw him catch the train. (Harold the Barrel)

Elton John. I can't say I'm the greatest fan but he has done some excellent songs... and some not so good

As fretmeister says, an acoustic body is likely to break. It would require additional bracing to support the electric neck and that would mean taking it to bits - which probably wouldn't end in a good way

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1442685739' post='2868792'] I sold my US Jazz and to be honest I don't really miss it. I have a Mexican fretless Jazz which is fantastic (not that I play it often). I occasionally gig my Squier P-bass Special (PJ), but none of my other basses resembles a Fender. My main gigging bass is my 4003. Like others have said, Fender is the standard. They have a certain kudos. I've personally just kinda drifted away from them and like other basses of a more "raw" persuasion [/quote] Ok, I take that back. My Squier sounded immense this afternoon. SD QPs through my Rumble 500 combo were sweet. They went from thick and warm to biting clank with a nudge on the tone control. Great

Apart from the one glitch which Fender fixed, mine has been very good. In fact I barely give it a second thought at gigs now. It's a shame that there are some issues reported. There again i suppose it is made to a (low) budget so a few issues are inevitable.

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1442642075' post='2868361'] I used my V3 Rumble Combo for the first time in a band practice last night. Good grief how loud are these things! I was quite surprised. It has a great tone and performed great. [/quote] Nice one. I don't even get my master volume to half way on gigs

I bet that would be great for the Beach Boys classic "Good Hibernations"

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1442402646' post='2866641'] Blimey, it's not cheap is it? [/quote] Dunno. I'm still using the lacing that I "liberated" from my uni sandwich placement company a few decades ago

I have a MIM Jazz fretless which is rather nice. It's lined too

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1442393734' post='2866544'] Out of curiosity, has anyone else made up this sort of thing, and if so, have you used cable-ties or some other means of consolidating it? I have to take care with cable ties round the lead, they're a little hard on my delicate little hands if I'm not careful. [/quote] You could try cabinet lacing (not sure what the official name is). It's a thin nylon string covered in a black outer sheath that is used by panel wirers to bundle cables together. Although these days they tend to use cable ties for speed Edit: Search for "cable lacing"

Quite often tickets go on sale on their website muse.mu - try registering on there. I managed to get tickets for the Second Law pre-tour on there.

As far as I can tell a lot of OGWT was recorded live, but there are a few obvious exceptions. There was one on the other day - Argent doing God Gave Rock and Roll, and the guitarist couldn't remember the adhoc fills he'd done on the recording

I think what Alex was saying is that a truly flat response system would be prohibitively expensive and impractical to cart around. Affordable solutions must inevitably include some colouration. IEMs sound a good way to go if it's just for your personal monitoring

You could have a listen to the Fender Rumble 500. The amp is pretty clean if you don't engage any tone shaping circuits and they do a 2x10 cab, although you'd need a pair to get the full 500W (approx 350W into 8 ohms)

Either number 1 or both

Or just print it as big as you can then work out the scale factor for your measurements. It won't be too accurate but more "inspired by"

The easiest way really is with a computer. If you can print the pictures you could possibly use a photocopier to zoom it to the right size, although even A3 is probably not going to be big enough to allow an accurate measurement of the scale - to get your zoom factor right

[quote name='JJW' timestamp='1441745341' post='2861501'] I want to try the basic of getting a picture on my TV but my TV only does 300% zoom and that's not enough, do you have any suggestions? [/quote] Colour me confused. What are you trying to do on your tv? Trace the image off it? If so the chaces of getting it at the correct size are negligible

[quote name='JJW' timestamp='1441715952' post='2861109'] Thanks for all the help but you're getting a bit technical for me, I don't understand all these computer programmes. [/quote] If your A4 copies are printing out the right size, tape them together and trace onto a single large sheet. There's your low-tech option

Yes but on bass trombone, so reading dots was a necessity

He'll be feeling the strong arm of the law if he keeps hanging around in the toilets like that

As it's your band I would clarify what they are asking for and expecting. By the sound of the emails possibly something is being lost in translation. Have a chat with them first hand and then reassess how you feel about it

Or you could print them on A4, tape them together then use a large sheet of tracing paper (or a roll of baking paper) to trace onto
