I have an old original macbook air - like an original 2008 intel macbook air, and I use garageband to record from the mixer. Its not worth anything so no risk using it live and it works fine.

I have used the Behringer as a multitrack recorder many times. Having said that I haven't tried adjusting the levels when playing as I am normally one of the ones playing! Slightly easier in my case though as it was into a mac so I just plug the USB in and press go.

That used to be a regular in our repertoire for many years, seems to have disappeared in recent months. Good fun bass line to play

An alpha mako. And now I have a Sei, perhaps a slightly shorter one for gigging around, so a 5 string headless fretful.

It would be tight (ie, it is exactly the same lenth as the bass, so not sure how much room there is, but it is too narrow at the body due to the horn! Seems strange noone makes a case for a bass that is 53" long and as wide as an ordinary bass

Oh if only that were true! Google says its 3 hours and 5 minutes avoiding traffic, so a 6.5 hour round trip, which involves driving and being in London, which isn't something I like doing!

Took me long enough to find a gig bag to fit the bongo - I carried it home in that but there was quite a lot sticking out!

Interesting, thanks, I will do a lookup. THere are 2 bart preamps as well as these two boards. One is a single PCB with 2 sets of dip switches on it. No, tell a lie, there are 2 probably bart preamps, another potted box, presumably a preamp, a single PCB that is printed with dip switches on and an jfet op amp (LF442) on the other side, and a single PCB on a bit of veroboard with what looks like a TL061 amp. Very unlikely i can do that - I go to london maybe once every 2 or 3 years, and when I do I don't really have the option to lug a 5kg bass (with no case or bag) around with me! It does indeed

Interestingly enough (at least to me), I decided to have a poke around in the elctronics last night. Both separate boards are preamps, not sure why there are two, one is a printed one, one is a bit of patchboard. I found out the LEDs weren't working as one of the battery wires had come off the battery holder (on the 2xAA holder), so when that is back the front volume pull switch turns on the LEDs. So I have no idea what the other switch does and it is under too many wires to get to to see - the other switch is a series / parallel / single coil I think. But for what I don't know, maybe both of them as it is a 4 pole 3 positon I failed to get any response from emailing Bass Gallery unfortunately - maybe they are another company that don't respond.

1: in general they probably don't 2: actually in use, its big but not so big

Then you send a letter to their registered address asking you to send updated banking details with a reference to quote

I was incorrect, it was actually a 42" scale.

Turns out I have been exaggerating its length all this time, its 42", not 43! So its close to the 4th fret where 34" is, slightly before it, so if I tuned it C F A# D# G#, it would be about right at the 4th fret

Ooh 170, that is a big chap, not sure what is on there at the moment, but it seemed to handle quite a bit lower before it got too flappy. I am not sure why it needs to be so big when you have a scale like this, but he must know what he was doing. Not sure a 170 would fit through the bridge

I know - nostalgia makes people crazy

Mine certainly wasn't missed, it was replaced with a westone which was an order of magnitude better in every way

I had a Kay Stratocaster, was made with what I assume was construction grade pine, I can't remember what happened to it, but I suspect it is was the same place!

Crazy money, they saw you coming!

No it didn't, and having just concluded my search for a long gig bag I could get the bongo in, I find myself back in that position. I might just end up getting an 88 key keyboard case, as that would fit it

Kay guitars - as the generation who know how shit they are and wants to burn them, people will buy them for retro cool.

Has he used the player circle code on them?

The front knob of all basses shall always be volume! - obviously if you have twin volumes, they shall be the front two knobs!

Stripes you say?

of course it will!

Yeh - it is currently at the F#0
