Well, I don't drink but only tell people I don't drink when either 1) the topic has come up, such as here or 2) they offer (or insist) that I have a drink. I am not a vegan, my wife is, and although I get the humour, the animosity is almost always the other way round, ie, offended about her food choices, so honestly having seen it that way round, I can get the advert. In fact, I don't see why it is so different wanting a vegan bass player if you are a vegan in a group (gives you markets maybe?) than wanting a female or 18-30 year old. It just trying to get someone on the same mindset. I mean if I could get a group that didn't drink I would be pretty happy, but this is England and I know some things aren't possible!

If you could get a P bass with a jazz neck then I would probably find it interesting, but tbh, they would still be 4 string so I would end up not using it. I have the Maruszczyk for my fender style fix.

Oh its my basses little active sister! I assume that is the one that comes from the same tree as mine, it certainly looks like it!

At least one of them has now retired though.

Yep.

Only the input volume matters. The Sense will change the level you need to play at and the range will also help with that. Are you not getting any difference or is it subtle? It should be anything but subtle. -- edit it is a bit of an odd ciruit that both the sense and the range can mute it -- edit again My mistake, I didn't notice the switch positions, its an odd way of drawing it.

That would be normal. The wah effect would follow the volume profile of your input signal. You can change the input level to trigger it earlier if you want but then you wouldn't get the effect louder.

I assumed they just did a 50/50 split between Kings of Leon and Wilson Picket and figured they had it mostly sorted.

The fender flats were my choice, they had the right combination of being basically flat, sort of fitting and not costing much!

I think many peoples complains are more the accuracy of the data on the website than the quality of the pages.

They have a torzal in bass direct

Yes. one of my previous bands videos had a copyright strike by the rights holders of Human Leagues 'Don't you want me baby'. I wouldn't have minded but the song was actually 'Ever fallen in love' by the buzzcocks, and we weren't that bad. I appealed, the strike went away and never heard anything else. We only needed it once for playing the Motor Museum at sparkford. And then noone actually checked.

Lets hope you remember to look at the last box, and don't end up trying to tune to S W F X

I suspect that the decision here was made over 2 years ago.

Sadly yes! I prefer the tone from roundwounds too, I barely use flats apart from the one bass, and I certainly wouldn't be one trying to persuade anyone to do so, my comment was purely that if the problem was that you overslid due to the shineyness of flats, that is just habit.

No reason to bother if you don't want to, but using the reason that you don't want to use flats because their response is different to what you are used to doesn't seem like a particulary helpful reason. In the same way we could say, why bother with another bass, why bother with a different amplifier, why bother trying different playing techinques, why bother with different music types etc as they would all be different to what you where used to. Perfectly reasonable if that is what you want, but seems an odd reason. Maybe some things could be better. Not as good a reason as 'I don't want to'. I mean, I don't really like flats, although I have them on one bass (a squier mustang) where they work, and where I also overshot at first, I don't now, its a different scale and a different type to the others, and I play it its way. Its just habit and muscle memory

I am sure he will write a song about his struggles to earn a crust with all these cruel people ripping him off

Undoubtably like any change, but as flats last forever, that is just a question of getting used to it isn't it?

I have boycotted him for years, I don't think he has noticed yet. But you know, if you have his musical output until the mid 70s, you pretty well have everything.

Works on my Safari - odd that there is something that wouldn't work, its not like there are any webdesign techniques from the last few decades used! Didn't it say on there there were looking for someone to do them a website at some point, or was it on the emails?

My last gig before the guitarist left was 2.5 weeks ago, the new guys can't start until march or so. when the guitarist left he said 'seems like the timing is going to end up alright for having to be out gigging'. Maybe he was right, but then i caught a nasty cold at that gig and was ill for the next two weeks.

We had one a couple of months back, the guitarist wanted to pull out from a gig, eventually we managed to persuade one of the new guitarists to cover it, then it turned out he was actually playing another gig the same night and had forgotten, so we got another guitarist to cover it, then the singers son got covid so we had to call off. Then on the day it chucked it down so much they had to cancel the entire event anyway.

I must admit although I have played it at every gig and most practices, mine still doesn't feel indispensable. If I lost it I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to replace it.

Mine are about the same volume as the rest of my basses, which is not surprising as the rest of my basses mostly also have nordstrand pickups too! I wouldn't want a 6db baked in boost on the preamp, any preamp that actually sounds different from passive when flat is broken in my book. I think if I wanted it to be a hotter output I would just put that on the pedalboard. The only things I ever wanted to change the level on was the MFDs on the G&L2500, they were a bit crazy and the wizzard pickups on my own bass, also very hot.
