You should see 3 posts at the top of the basses for sale forum, regardless of your phone, they cover the rules and advice for sellers etc.

According to the rules at the top of the marketplace, yes you can.

Maybe thoman say that as they would have a european plug in the box so it is easier if they say there is none so that you are not expected to be able to use it out of the box. I know everything I got from thoman had an adapter on it, but I haven't ordered anything since that all changed. Also zoom have always had 9v adapters, it would be odd to change that now.

I have had switching options for everything going, end up sticking with the one you like!

For seymour duncan pickups the black and white are one coil and the green and red are the others. Humbucker manufacturers handily have standardised on those 4 colours. Sadly they all mean different things! So this is what they mean per manufacturer: https://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/latest-updates/humbucker-wire-color-translation Which is handy for some but honestly I would always buzz it out with a meter first.

Not really, still like clanky stuff.

Oh didn't they briefly go down? Never mind, noone reads them anyway!

Well, you have to practice hacking a few headstocks off before you get it right!

The sale stickies have been rationalised as there were so many of them that you had to scroll to get through to the sales!

Thats just a straight moog bass sound isn't it - future impact should be able to do that no problem.

mine is made of tone metal!

I think it would have sounded brighter if he had used yamaha engines!

Hey, we haven't argued about this for over a month. here is something!

I had one of those (not the natural though), when we went to the setup day down in the southwest I took that as I didn't want to damage any of my ibanezes, so that got set up and fret dressed and everything. It was a fantastic bass, sounded good and due to the fret work, one of the nicest to play, amazing value. Only moved it on because after doing a gig with it I would start walking round in circles it was so heavy!

I don't do tapping at all (on a bass), but the volume of tap at various points in the string would be purely down to the action at that point. If the action is higher in one place than another, it will be louder as it has a bigger runup before hitting the fret (which is why you have a really level action on a chapman stick!). If you are finding it too loud on the talman your action is presumably too high. Failing that, get a compressor!

For someone that buys too much gear, I think it is fairly unimportant. I am sure that most things can be made to sound ok whatever it is.

Depends how much free reign he gets, or whether people just employ him for what he does. I must admit I hated the stuff he did with NiN, but obviously trent reznor didn't.

And lets face it, if you want to get something off a high shelf, he is going to be invaluable.

Was all set up to become a spector owner yesterday, and get one of the dimension 5s, but sadly the only one that is available at a good price was the brown one, and having seen it on the flesh, its not very attractive for the money, compared to the haunted moss one. Which was a bit dissapointing as I played the dimension and really liked it, even if it is a bit expensive for a korean made bass.

Oh yes, they still hum, but in a more manly G than the american B! I gig with single coils, not generally a problem unless I got too close to the valve amp.

Only in the states, you are not going to find any 60Hz even in dorset and they only got electricity a few years ago!

Also on this, remember, you will make mistakes. They will seem a lot worse to you than the seem to everyone else! I haven't played there, but I am the same as you, I never trust anyone elses equipment unless i have been there and used it before. Even when "Oh yes, there is an amp provided", well, my class D amp fits in the door pocket in the car, so it is coming anyway.

So what if you have bought cheap hardware and it isn't taking your time. I never had a harley benton machine head break, but I have had a shaller one break. If only that were a correlated thing.

Well, that is a little dissapointing - after this time they can throw more processing at it, especially at its price point. I understand most people using the device will be using mono, so it makes sense from that point of view, but on the line6s you can choose to use a mono effect and use less processing time if you want, but if you are one of the people who use stereo (and live gigging I am not), you can choose to use more processing to have the stereo effect.

The law of diminishing returns starts at 0 and starts goes down immediately, that is obvious. All that is being argued about here is what is the bit you are comfortable with. For all the people saying 'oh my £300 squier is good enough for anyone', there will be a load of people who are 'get her, needs something fancy like a squier when a £100 bass makes those notes' etc. There is no objective level and never can be. They have done many tests and found that in a blind test, virtually noone can recognise a stradavarious violin (excepting their own one), and also in a blind test, almost noone would pick a stradavarious as their prefered one (compared to other eye-wateringly expensive 'proper' instruments). However, if you are a concert violinist with a stradivarius, with all other things being equal, I bet you get offerred more and better paying work than someone who has something different.
