  1. Neanderthals walk amongst us even in 2017.
  2. Buy anything, remove the tweeter, job done
  3. [quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1505431915' post='3371939'] Thanks for the reply, dood. Am interested; just need to check something out. Will get back to you tomorrow hopefully. Cheers Nik [/quote] No problem at all! Keep me posted Dan.
  4. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1505475143' post='3372182'] So it IS a pseudonym ... your real name is FinnSave. [/quote] Isn't that the Nordic equivalent of Aldi and Lidl?
  5. [quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1505419657' post='3371861'] Hi dood Do you know of these are the same type they use on Faith electro acoustic guitars? Cheers Nik [/quote] They came off a Faith acoustic guitar I guess that's a yes!
  6. [quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1505413300' post='3371794'] And we respect that, Dan. [/quote] and so do the 160K readers per month of Guitar Interactive, so I'm feeling pretty safe.
  7. Another person has come up with the same song as a possibility too. Hopefully we can find some lyrics or even listen to the song to see if it's 'the one'.
  8. [quote name='KK Jale' timestamp='1505414773' post='3371817'] A possible contender: Ronnie Hilton, Love You I Will, UK 1964 Can't find it on spotify nor youtube, alas. [url="http://www.45-rpm.org.uk/dirr/ronnieh.htm"]http://www.45-rpm.or...irr/ronnieh.htm[/url] [/quote] Thank you! I'll take a look Your efforts are appreciated!
  9. I've been asked if I can find out some more about this song; it's quite important to the person asking. I would like to call upon the collective and impressive knowledge of Basschat to see if we can figure out what it might be. The Lyrics we have are: [color=#1D2129]"The king is richer than I am .. but I don't envy the king .. although the king is richer by far I have you and that's everything [/color] [color=#1D2129]( chorus) love you I will until the years have fallen away .. love you I will until forever and a day ....[/color] [color=#1D2129]The birds sing sweeter than I do .. but I don't envy the birds .. although the birds sing sweeter by far .. nobody taught them the words ( chorus) ...[/color] [color=#1D2129]"[/color] [color=#1D2129]Thank you Basschat x[/color]
  10. I wish to remain anonymous.
  11. [quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1505408552' post='3371731'] In the analogue tape days it happened all the time. Often songs would be slowed down or sped up slightly at mix down thus rendering them 'out of tune'.....I know we've done it more than once back in the 80s It was often done for various reasons: 1) it sounded better that way 2) It covered up a timing error 3) It was easier for the vocalist to sing 'in tune' etc etc [/quote] It would also be down to the mix and mastering stages too. A band may have had their album tracks recorded at a studio using magnetic tape machines. Which isn't a problem if that same machine and studio was used for mastering. The tapes would in many cases be taken to another studio to indeed be mastered and of course have the 'template' discs for vinyls cut. Often, the tape machines there would run at subtly different speeds. This would affect the final pitch of the recording. Sometimes there's only a slight difference, such as Queen's Another One Bites The Dust.
  12. [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1505330263' post='3371156'] Have a bump on me, as I'm really looking forward to seeing your mini board in all its glory! [/quote] Thank you! Well, the current 'not so mini' board is up on my Instagram at the moment @danveallbassist. It's a bit messy, but the new mini board I think will look really cool.
  13. I knew someone who had a switch installed hidden under the dashboard that cut the power to the starter motor. Even 'hot wiring' wouldn't help.
  14. I've a used set of these rather tasty tuning keys here. They do look used on the outside, as they could do with a bit of a polish, but they've come off a reasonably new guitar as I've put locking tuning keys on. Ideal for a project guitar or even to spruce up 'old faithful' with some upgrade keys. I can do a picture if you like, but they are like these: IN GOLD! Price includes mainland shipping, you will need to add a bit more for overseas.
  15. [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1505316206' post='3370992'] I use my Smoothhound without difficulty when performing. I only bought the G70 because of the mental deal Andertons have at the mo. I'm happy to be out of date on average latency times, and if I am then it makes even less of a difference to the OP. [/quote] I think that this almost needs a thread of it's own. "The best wireless systems for bass - including best latency figures". I'm also interested in the methods used to get those latency times down as which are the most resilient in a 'noisy' environment. I've tended to stay away from wireless systems for both of these reasons, but I could be swayed!

    [quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1505317356' post='3371003'] It's not an issue where bass amps or club size PA is concerned, nor for that matter with pro-touring sound, where the power amps typically run on 220v. [/quote] Hey Bill, Wasn't that what Alex said? Power amplifiers running at 110v is "a bigger issue" than those running at 220v. I guess it'd apply anywhere in the world - or have I missed another point being made?
  17. [quote name='ped' timestamp='1505313140' post='3370956'] How many milliseconds later? [/quote] *test timed out* ha ha
  18. I'm a great fan of lists! I'd love to see digital pedals and hardware measured - to see what the real world figures of all these devices are. I wonder if the manufacturer's figures fluctuate as much as those for amplifier 'ratings'. I'm sure I could set up a way of measuring latency right here. I might give that a go later on to see what I can come up with.
  19. [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1505151478' post='3369859'] Ok that was a seriously impressive response! Are you sure you didn't previously work for Bell Pottinger? [/quote] I actually had to look up [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]Bell Pottinger. They seem like nice people and could probably benefit from having me on the team ha ha ha ha!!![/color][/font]
  20. [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1505150373' post='3369840'] b ) (More seriously) that the mini version does everything that full sized version does but just takes up less up less real estate? [So if we are getting a new one we might as well get the "mini"?] [/quote] Oops sorry, missed this bit - No, get the big one simply because the smaller version doesn't have the +1, -1, -2 controls on top. There's no -2 knob by default. I rarely need the extra control - and, TonePrint is more than enough for my needs I still adore Sub n' Up.
