I've had 3 active basses and 2 passive. The only time I've ever had it distort like that was through faulty wiring on one of my PASSIVE basses... never the active. The guy's talking crap.

Thanks! Wll get those ordered.

Thanks guys. My doctor was pretty useless and just said I need my ears syringing as they're both blocked up and to go back next week. I had guessed that it was the earplugs compacting the wax as I've had problems with wax build up before. I just wish he could've helped out with the pain and pressure rather than just saying 'come back next week'. What about now??? It's all fair and good putting olive oil in my ears for 7 days unless I get sectioned from the insanity first!!

go a doctor's appointment this morning as my hearing is worse than ever now. Got a feeling the earplugs could've done more harm than good. Struggling to make out what people are saying to me and getting shooting pains in my eardrum...

I used to have some ER-25s b my tw*t of an drummer exhusband stole them

Came out of rehearsal tonight and my ears are ringing more than usual and my hearing is muffled. Thing is I wore earplugs the entire time (the foam in ear ones). Surely that totally defeats the purpose of the earplugs??? I have tinitus as it is (mild) so trying my best not to make it worse! Any tips?

I used to cover this. I found fretting it on the B was a hell of a job seeing as it's fast and as you said, doesn't sound the same. I'd be worried about the neck tension tuning the B to D, hence why I just did BDADG for the one song save risking it.

Congrats dude! Learning that many songs is no mean feat!

Ok so I'm adding a couple to my shopping list.. and now have serious GAS..

Go on stage.... play a kick ass bass solo. Set your headstock on fire and then twirl it round your neck without setting yourself on fire. Then stop playing and leave. Don't put the fire out. You want to leave them something to remember. Like the venue burning down.

oh and I'd get Dean guitars to build me a custom 5 string flying v in black/red with red fretboard LEDs....mmm metal.

can haz pic?

I've been lusting over this for aaaaaaaaages... [url="http://www.guitarrez.com/inventory/ibanezbassinventory/ibzbtb575fm.html"]http://www.guitarrez.com/inventory/ibanezb...bzbtb575fm.html[/url]

I'm pretty easy going but looks wise... Like: Dean basses Flying V's Explorers sunburst finishes anything unusual but not 'that just looks stupid' unusual Hate: P basses daisy rocks fenders in general anything LP shaped Anything neon (namely Dean guitars...) masses and masses of half peeled stickers slapped all over what used to be a gorgeousd finish That 'half aged' look which is more than they just haven't looked after it rather than being vintage string excess not of cut after restringing headless basses

i'm surrounded by bass/guitar gear and primary coloured childrens toys. It's like being in kiddy muso hell for anyone else. lol

[quote name='51m0n' post='710250' date='Jan 12 2010, 05:02 PM']Yup that would eb about right. Now imagine what £250+ worth of insured gear looks like in a little terrace house Cant move for bass kit. Sigh....[/quote] I feel your pain.... I'm in a mid terrace lmao
