Welcome! Which music shop was it that recommended us? Cheers ped

Hi guys Thanks for the helpful pointers. I'm looking at some potential solutions and those include the VB99 unit which I'd like to try, having been a Vbass user for many years now. That could be my 'all in one' solution, but I'll want to read through the manual first and check it all out as I don't have much dough at the moment. It has to be right! Failing that then a cheapy USB interface and iMovie sounds like a pretty suitable option for just having some fun. Cheers ped

[quote name='Matt P' timestamp='1370959311' post='2107948'] That's good news, I'll keep saving my pennies up then, maybe I'll be able to afford 2 when they make their return. Matt [/quote] Thanks Matt that's great - will try and sort it ASAP Cheers

[quote name='Matt P' timestamp='1370954107' post='2107849'] All this talk of lanyards reminded me that i hadn't bought a polo shirt yet, but it seems that the customised ones with the outlines of famous basses have dissapeared from the shop, are they likely to return? (i can understand that one design was likely to have been removed but was hoping for a p-bass one to wear to work) Matt [/quote] Hi Matt Yes they will return, however I'll need to take new pictures and/or adjust the pics I already have, including the payment options etc. That might take a while but it's on my to-do list! Cheers

Re-named the thread from 'ped's giveaway' to 'BC's Giveaway' because it's going to include all of us, not just me Cheers ped Oh and happy Bday guys. I didn't see the cake, where's my piece?

[quote name='Jimryan' timestamp='1370885449' post='2106911'] What a delightful little idea. Hang on..."if you can find them"?!? Is that just a way of getting us all excited and cheered up on a Monday when in reality, you've lost them and you're just building us up, just to let us down? [/quote] I definitely know where the lanyards are, but the biz cards are in one of four possible locations, one of which is on the shelf right behind me. I'll probably look at in a few mins unless I keep watching funny dog videos on YouTube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcVHBW3tCvo

I'll be scouring all the forums (but prob. mainly general discussion and gear related forums) People like Clarky will simply be sent to the Rickenbacker forum in exile

Hi all Just for a bit of fun/to spread the love, we're going to be randomly selecting 10 people over the next two weeks and sending them a present (BC lanyard and business card, if I can find them!) I know it's not much but hey it's free and a bit of fun. I'll select people from the posts made from now onwards, and may pick the most useful, friendly and funny posts. You'll know by a PM so good luck!! ped P.S we'll do another of these soon but with bigger and better prizes, so this is a first run.

Hi guys I've just got a new computer and I'd like to record some basic videos, playing along to tunes, for YouTube etc. So My computer is an iMac and my bass signal comes from a mixer via any one of the outputs (usually I use the headphone out) The new iMac doesn't have any audio inputs, so I presume I'm going to have to get a USB interface. What do people recommend? I have Final Cut Pro and iMovie etc for doing the editing so that should be OK, just want good sound quality and for a bit of fun really. I'll use the built in camera for recording the video... Cheerz ped

Yes! Thankfully, and as expected, we're talking about a tiny number of people, generally new members. Quite often it's a genuine mistake, too, so we're working on making it even more obvious. Cheers ped

Hi guys I'm happy to see so many people playing by the rules and putting the correct valuation on their items when listing them for sale. However, we also find from time to time that users ignore the rules and list expensive items for £0 or less than £50 to circumvent the need to pay for the listing. We spent a long time working with our developer to ensure you were able to list items under £50 for free. Can you all help by 'reporting' any fraudulent adverts ASAP (button in bottom right of post) so we can take action? If this continues, there'll be two options: - Set any sub £50 items subject to moderator approval, causing delays in listing - Remove the free option altogether Thanks for your help in advance - we don't want to remove the free option to the vast majority of you who are honest and helping support the website. ped

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1369852994' post='2093590'] Touche. [/quote] Touche me again and I'll.... probably quite enjoy it

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1369852549' post='2093578'] My stuff still hasn't sold, waste of bloody money [/quote] Not our fault your stuff's sh*t

Thanks Wayne, have a lovely evening

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1369852300' post='2093570'] Wants me to pay £40 :S [/quote] You've probably entered an amount in the donations box, too? Try again but just choose the £20 option from the dropdown. Clear your cache too perhaps. Cheers ped

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1369473371' post='2089545'] Suggesting the basschat would have an effect on Ric sales is a version of some alternative reality. It's a trivial forum that people read - that's all. [/quote] That's not what our advertisers say.

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1369254246' post='2087026'] I like the album because of the music, but holy hell is there some inspirational playing on that album, and not just for bass, guitar, drums and synth. It's fantastic. [/quote] Yeah me too. It's a nice addition to my collection and it's nice to drive to at night! Anyone know for sure who played on what tracks? Omar Hakim and J.R drumming, sounds like JR on my fave track but would be interested to find out.

Hehe yeah I also think musicians like the album in general because even if they aren't massively interested in the music, it's a return to the good old fashioned type of albums where you have great session players and actual instruments, grooves and of course funky bass!

Have to say, I never realised so many people liked Daft Punk until the news of this CD was released... all of a sudden, friends all pretend they've always liked the robots... Pretty much the same thing happened when Michael Jackson died - I remember telling a mate that MJ was one of my fave artists and they laughed. As soon as news of his passing spread, everyone was going on about how much they loved his music! Guess we're just trend setters! Fave track on the album though is 'Fragments of Time', it's got that west coast feel ala Steely Dan/Aja

Can't really figure out what Daft Punk are doing on most of the tracks on the album... guess they just sit and watch!

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1369175924' post='2086036'] I say good for "Mr Rickenbacker" there. Rickenbacker has developed a unique looking - and visually stunning bass. They don't produce my sound, so I don't buy them generally. However, I think they have every right to stand up against the copiers. I know it's not the popular view on here - but I say well done to the man. [/quote] Just a shame he's so bloody rude.
