[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1427832212' post='2734878'] Marleaux Consat Custom. Not cheap, but still way cheaper. [/quote] Good shout. My Marleaux had a single pickup but I reckon a two pickup one would be pretty close. Lovely basses.

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1427807461' post='2734465'] I don't think I've ever heard a Ken Smith. I'm intrigued now. [/quote] They have a very tight 'nasal' quality that sounds unique. I love them. Closest contender for me was a Bacchus Twentyfour which sounds like this: [attachment=187986:Bacchus 24F Hum Custom 5 jam.mp3] (right click, save as, rename extension to .mp3)

Great review!! Mind if I share it on FB?

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1427236393' post='2727860'] I was with BC on the whole issue until this post. I kinda know what you meant but rising above it would have been a better option. [/quote] Sorry, I know what you mean. I could probably have left it alone... Guess it's been one of those evenings. We've learned a lot through this issue and we don't take it lightly. If I appear flippant believe me it's not the case in real life.

[quote name='Toasted' timestamp='1427232639' post='2727792'] Cor, it's great when someone with conviction turns up in a thread. No wishy washing hand wringing, just "this is how it is... it's my website, I make the rules" Spine-tingling. [/quote] Glad you enjoyed it.

Please note - any more discussion regarding bans and our apparent lack of evidence/unfair treatment won't be tolerated as the decisions made by the mod team aren't up for discussion.

I'd like to share every warning and every infraction by every member but unfortunately this forum isn't a democracy - it's a website which is privately owned and we don't discuss bannings or the reasons for them because we'd be here all day debating the ins and outs of it. We have better things to do. There's no conspiracy here - but a list of seven warnings in total (out of a maximum of five) and an eventual banning. What started out as an interesting thread has taken a turn into undermining decisions made which aren't open for discussion. If you want to hear Wayne's side of things I believe there's a ranty thread on Facebook somewhere. Get stuck in. To everyone else - thanks for using the forum. ped

[quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1427230856' post='2727742'] I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean by "The truth is what is happening" - could you clarify that for me please? If you are are saying that WPD is not giving the whole of the story and is telling it in a biased way then it rather appears that you ARE implying he's lying. Sorry, really not trying to be arsey but I don't get the difference between 'not the whole truth' and lying. [/quote] There's two sides to every story and neither side is perfectly blameless but that's the end of it. I don't know what you're hearing from elsewhere but we have enforced the rules as we set them and the end result was he used up his warnings, despite being 100% awesome to some members which is a shame but there we go. No more discussion about the banning please as the decision is final not up for debate. Please PM me if you would like to chat about it but talking about it here is neither fair on my team of volunteer mods or the member in question. Cheers

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1426417508' post='2717771'] right I've found it, they've removed a load of likes from deactivated accounts, I always thought they were removed at the time the account was deactivated though, they certainly were when our drummer deactivated his, happened straight away [/quote] I think there's some small print about drummers

Something to do with facebook removing as bunch of fake accounts recently I think. Iirc it says something about it if you look at your stats page?

Cool tune thanks I'll listen to their other stuff. The bass rig looks a bit unstable and nearly falls over a couple of times. Stage must be made of beer crates.

I used some on my strings when I used to use steels (use Elixirs now and they stay fresh sounding for ages in my experience). At the time I thought it was magic - after a gig I'd use it and wipe the strings down with the cloth and I'm sure it helped keep them fresh sounding. I used it on a really old set and felt it brightened them up, too. I didn't mind the feel of it - used sparingly and wiped away afterwards it wasn't really noticeable. Also it smelled quite nice

Hi Craig welcome to BC If you have any specific questions, try the 'theory and technique' forum. Good luck ped
