    I haven't had a go yet, nowhere near me has any released yet (andertons claims today, although they aren't near). They are supposed to be optimised for sitting, so hopefully they have thought of that. The spacing of 17.5 on the 5 is a bit wide for me, so I want to try it before actually buying one, I am hoping PMT will have some thing month.

    That seems an odd thing, I mean it doesn't really make it that much smaller while making it a bit less versatile. I assume that someone will want that but seems.. well, unexciting. If only they could get behringers drive!

    I specified the neck profile and got non-raked thrown in for free (but without string tree)!

    Nick beggs does actually have a Ric, but didn't use it with Steve Hacket the year before but the current guy Jonas Reingold is a ric player. Not really that Chris Squire like though.

    I must admit that I don't hear the chris squire thing in modern prog that much, although on the last steve hacket gig the guy did have a ric! My favourite would be prog rock and I don't even have a ric copy <shuffles the chapman stick slightly out of view>

    @scrumpymike is it the same btinternet paypal account as a couple of years ago?

    Wow, Microsoft and Cisco require you to learn songs for their qualification now? That *is* harsh! I hope its not that windows 386 song...

    Sorry - I have never tried a CV 60s bass so I don't know

    Me too, happens to everyone. I am not blaming him for not being able to sing as well, it is just as you say, a fact of life. I am just saying his voice is not as good, so if you want to hear them at their best, listen to something from before 2005 as it is better. Rush are my all time favourite group which is why I chose to not go and see them in the last 10 years.

    sounds good!
  11. Woodinblack
    He is ok, yes. His bass and keyboard is fantastic, but his voice was not what it was. He has obviously been taught different techniques to make the best of it and he is ok. But OK isn't really good for rush, I don't enjoy it as much as earlier rush. But there is a lifetime of stuff out there to go through so there is not really an issue.

    And the original was the B3, not the B3n

    Bass wise, no problem assuming I can remember the song at all, I can remember every part of it. Sometimes I have a mental block on the start (some times I have a mental block on everything). I have a list of the first notes of each song, so if I ever do, the first note will tell me the rest of the song. Lyrics wise, I can remember most of them unless I am also playing and then I can go a bit blank. Toscanini sounds a bit like an italian version of my first childhood piano teacher though
  14. Woodinblack
    Agreed - but anything that hasn't been in the last 10 years or so, the vocals sound a bit better there.

    Do you mean the Harley benton powerplant? In which case, yes there will be a whine, or do you mean the Harley Benton Powerplant Jr, in which case there really shouldn't be. In my posts before I was only talking about the Jr. The non Jr is not isolated.

    I have never talked to a cover band who didn't say that!
  17. Woodinblack
    I didn't know it either.
  18. Woodinblack
    No, Stoke sub human (sorry, hamdon).

    There is a place near us that all sing sweet Caroline when we finish, no idea why, apparently they do it for all groups. We don't do it and I couldn't imagine we would do it well
  20. Woodinblack
    Yep, I saw that and thought about getting one, then it occurred to me that actually, I have way too much stuff and don't need another amp!
  21. Woodinblack
    Me neither - never heard it played anywhere by anyone and we have a lot of cover bands round here, maybe its regional? Pretty well everything else on here though.
  22. Woodinblack
    We removed mustang sally from our list, and got complaints. Because it is a really terrible song! Having been around a lot of prog people, I never understood the interest in them. Despite it not being there yet, our set list contains 1 of each (2 if you consider twist and shout, although that was a cover) Most of this stuff listed is in our set list (although a few are Ska'd up), we do a lot of what people want, apart from oasis, as I won't do that.

    I am never moved by celebs dying but Rush meant a lot to me. I lost countless hours air drumming to 2112 when I was a teen..
  24. Woodinblack
    Well, we are just looking into this one. Its not a classic by any means.. But it has a good bassline. Which I should go off and learn
  25. Woodinblack
    I would just run the effects send from one amp into the input of the other amp, that way you don't change the tone of your bass or need any special leads.
