Orange is a banned colour in my house, my wife has a pasionate hatred of orange! The only thing of those that really concern me are the connection to a strap. I don't have the same strap on every bass (I don't even have the same strap type on every bass, I have a combination of dunlop and shaller straps), and all the reviews say it is not something you can put on and off. But it is screwed in, so maybe I can make an attachment to different straps. I would however hate it to knock our my friends, I have a headstock for that purpose!

I did think maybe it was better waiting for a second version, but if it does what I want now then it wasn't an issue. I saw a long term review and a gig review on youtube and saw what people were saying were the good sides and the bad sides, and to be honest, the downsides weren't something I would have been concerned about. I saw the silver, it was a bit "obvious big metal box" for me, I can't imagine it would be that popular unless you had a white bass with a white strap. Or maybe it is like that (Unpainted) so you can paint it to match whatever colour you want, so I could have a turquoise one!

Sounds good. Seems like a good answer to a problem I have had. Will report back when I have had it and had a chance to do a gig with it, which will hopefully coincide next weekend!

Obviously not - most people aren't aware he could sing

I am going to get one as it sounds like the sort of thing that would work for me. I don't play big stages, or tend to sit at my computer naked, so not sure I am the target market!

I see you can get them from bass direct, Anyone recently got one from their own US store, and if so, what are taxes like?

If you like the sound then it doesn't matter what anyone else things, it is your bass. Only correct faults you have!

Yes, very poor. The nut on mine is good but then it is my second neck, maybe they tried harder the second time!

Yes, it has now been reinstated, with the new black theme. However, if you looked yesterday you would have noticed it was missing

My first bass was pristine. However, my first guitar which was a kay strat got 3 humbuckers, two of which had indivudual series / paralel, coil tap and phase and overall series paralel and phase switches, 9 switches overall, and a badly put in termelo (as I didn't know how the tremelo worked until Melvyn Hiscock had pointed out the errors of my ways. So when I fixed that the front went through to the back. Was a great guitar but it looked a bit of a state and some switch combinations were less than useful!

OMF and indeed G

I can assure you that I would look far worse in a red dress and I am not currently helping anyone with their dissertation, she certainly didn't help with mine!!

I would go along if they were all that good!

It does. I am not a fan either although generally fairly not bothered if it doesn't affect others.

I am not sure why you would want to do it if you weren't religious though. I am assuming it doesn't pay much and I can't imagine there is much flexibility in songs unless I guess you are an original band, do they have those? Sort of like a cover band, but with a thinner choice.

Yep we have been discussing this on the worst song thread for a while:

No, churches and religious schools have always been allowed to discriminate.

Do you mean musicians that play in worship bands? I suspect not. However, I wouldn't have thought the main areas of gigging was worship bands in the UK. Most places in the UK church attendances are going down so it doesn't seem like something to do just for a career move!

I would say that is probably best not to eat ice cream while riding a bike, both of those things should consume your full attention.

Well, if you have gone for the whole fiver, I suspect you are in with a good chance!

Doesn't seem unreasonable assuming they were in very good condition. I went to look at their publicity page. I didn't know they had the EWI presets... looks at the ewi...

ok, so no to the red dress, how about the white one?

My wife was convinced it was staged to see how nasty people were on the internet. I think a better experiment is to play well and see how nasty people are on the internet!

To me it is. I don't find Fenders particularly good looking, but their proportions are ok, the ratio of body to head and radius of body compared to horn area. This has all those proportions skewed.

Yep, I had it yesterday and don't have it today. Its missing, presumably gone to live on a farm
