  1. It isnt - it is the way the advert suppliers do it though. The cookie is to say not to provide adverts as now the site is going through their gateway. I doubt it - It is in french on one of my machines and english on the other. That has always been the way on the site issues forum, but not on any others, as this is designed for a question / answer type layout. This hasn't changed at all. It is designed to push the most popular answer (ie, the one most people thought answered the question) to the top.
  2. Mine turned up today. So it sat from the 19th Aug to yesterday after landing on the plane doing nothing, then yesterday in a flurry of activity it went from arrrived to my door today. And its great, weighs a lot, wife unimpressed, but otherwise it is spot on!
  3. Normal barts in normal ibanezes are standard sizes, but the 805 is different. I know nordstrand do some for it. When I had mine they had just come out and were expensive, but I suspect there are more people doing them now. That was eventually why I moved my 805 on, but this was a long time ago.
  4. I don't play metal but that is my problem with the licensed parts, to me I could never get any life out of them, they aren't like the genuine barts or the Nords in that regard.
  5. Video not available - was it this one?
  6. There isn't a way, but you can edit it to say sorted.
  7. Not bass that I know of, although there is a very good guitar teacher for young kids. However, can look for bass teacher - I would suspect that the guys at Yeovil Guitars will know the people
  8. Too young? Absolutely not, the younger the better.
  9. My 2605 was very bright, bordering on a little harsh. Lovely bass though, but in the end too similar to my 1605 to keep both
  10. I think the jack socket is an ideal socket for a guitar, almost what it is designed for, the ease of plugging / unplugging. It certainly isn't something you would pick for a speaker
  11. Looks like a 2600
  12. Still tune quicker than some guitarists I know!
  13. By default (if I search, I am not sure there is a configuration for this), the option is to search this topic (ie, basses for sale) but the drop down menu on the right lets you change that to the entire site, the forum you are in (bass guitars for sale), this topic (xxx for sale £100), status updates, titles of topics etc
  14. Mine went on a plane on the 18th august!
  15. Very good, but fairly heavy, well mine is
  16. In a forum, yes, not a section - so if you wanted to find fender jazz in for sale, you go to bass guitars for sale and do a search there
  17. Yeh, mine obviously took a different route to yours - it spent the same time in customs, but since leaving china seems to have gone silent!
  18. No, they are paid for because they are historic items, like £120k for a titanic menu or £260k for ghandis glasses - they clearly weren't any better than all other ones but they are related to history. Clearly all those artists you mentioned sold those guitars, while carrying on playing, and they have all appeared playing other guitars and sounded exactly the same. Some guitars you gell with, some you don't, and it doesn't mean it is a bad guitar or anything, I have a guitar that I love that I got because someone else hated, its personal. While there are objectively bad guitars, good guitars are more subjective And in test after test, top level concert violinists have failed to pick out the stradivarius over other top level violins, even up to the level you would get if you picked one at random. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn25371-pro-violinists-fail-to-spot-stradivarius-in-blind-test/ But we are human, we get impressed with things we think we should be impressed with!
  19. Sounds good, seems like everything is connected, and if the cones look good, all should be fine
  20. No, you are right, it doesn't.
  21. Apart from the helix algorithms, that is the spark. I have a spark 40, and it really is good although not sure I would use it for gigs. But then I had a pod go and didn't rate that! As a home practice thing it is fantastic though, it sits right by my chair in the living room for evening practice. I also have the waza air, but the spark would be the thing left if I had to get rid of one of them.
  22. Have you thought of a Spark Go?
  23. Litterally, if your bass is resonant then some frequencies are going to be cancelled and some are going to be boosted. Maybe they are ones you want cancelled, which is fine, but otherwise you will end up with a thump or a rumble or just feedback at one frequency. THats what resonance is.
  24. Can honestly say that unless the bridge is defective, the difference it makes from one bridge to another is so subtle you wouldn't be able to notice.
