  1. Well, that is good, just updating now. Maybe it is time to update my music ipad. Actually, there is no tearing hurry to update that.
  2. Yep, I saw all the ones in the 80s in portsmouth, seemed they were always there.
  3. YOu can do it with a workshop full of the right hand tools, just some things take longer!
  4. You can specify whatever, mine is 16.5mm
  5. The Ibanez SR2405W is made incorrectly and slipped out of the factory with 18mm string spacing (w for WTF is with this spacing?).
  6. Oh totally agree, I mean just not getting hung up on the details. Well, less so with Led Zep, a few songs that got dragged out, but the bass was a lot more stable than the other bits. I am not really familiar with the others.
  7. Pretty well all of hawkwind has all been a bit of a jam anyway. Having done a few live before, you just all follow each other and play around a theme, which is why the songs vary quite a lot in length on various recordings. Good fun to do but not something you want to get hung up on an actual transcription.
  8. Probably because most of them are just improvised over a scale so you would never really hear them the same twice.
  9. Are you saying someone has acquired a taste for that?
  10. Slightly more attractive than tort, but not much.
  11. I agree, the angle of those machineheads is horrible!
  12. Oh I don't know, if you were wearing a weighlifter belt and you wanted to play bass but were concerned that people didn't know you were a weightlifter, that bridge helps! Although it has to be said, I do like the pickups and at least the controls look like someone has given them more though than a fodera. I also suspect you can open the right sized jars with that bottom horn
  13. They could do but it is probably not worth their time dealing with people who couldn't read. My NS Stick does have active EMGs in it, although that is probably because they are telecater pickups originally.
  14. In that case there would be nothing wrong with it!
  15. Funny, most of these I have hated at some time, although to be fair, there are a few that I still dislike (orangey browny red sunburst and tort, especially but not exclusively together). But some things, singlecuts, I hated them, then saw one I liked and after that sort of liked it, bongo shape, hated it then after a while of looking decided I actually liked it. So there are very few absolutely no ways any more, just a lot of 'not nows'. Outside Foderas (and ebay customs), there are very few actually completely ugly basses, and at least they are different, so someone can love them.
  16. Photobooth is a program for making little videos for the kids and stuff, it doesn't have any options because it is supposed to be basic, so it uses the system settings. Having said that, the audio / midi application is only for setting levels and options etc, if you want the default input to be a different source you need to change it in sound -> input in the sound system preference panel.
  17. Mine is ash with an ebony neck and flamed maple neck and matching headstock body, with ultralight tuners and haussel and nordstrand pickups. But it also has a much narrower neck than most (it has an ibanez neck profile), the marcus miller neck would be massive compared to mine. It is really light but well balanced.
  18. I would say try it first and saw which you prefer. Maruszcyks can be heavily customised by the person who bought it, so there is no 'standard' I live my elwood, but some peoples elwoods would be unplayable to me.
  19. No, just that they don't do plain dots on the more expensive models!
  20. All of mine are premiers or premiums, so they don't have the plain dots, they either have one big round oval and two small dots, right under the strings, or dots on one side, which means they are aligned between the lowest two strings
  21. Yes, I just checked, you do need additional power. Also something like a Zoom B3 (not N) can work as an interface by the same means.
