[quote name='Fat Rich' post='1184555' date='Apr 1 2011, 12:21 PM']Does this mean the story about the Ark Royal having 11 large cables stretched along the runway tuned low F# to high E isn't true either?[/quote] Wow, just got a new name for my 7 string!! "Ark Royal"

Gareth is an absolute diamond and I am sure he and the team will help as much as possible!

Yup as Rich says. I think these models with the Maple wings and Wenge/Maple neckthru were superior to the later Toby Pro 2 with a bubinga body, where QC seemed to have dropped to get the price of the models down. Don't get me wrong, they weren't 'bad', but the models like the one above were very very well built for the money. I'm not sure that the Bubinga models were specifically called Pro 2 btw, I seem to recall one website refering to them in order to distinguish them from the previous version. I've owned two and my Shuker basses are more than just a little bit modelled on them.

[quote name='tinyviking' post='1180568' date='Mar 29 2011, 11:05 AM']Yeah, should look very shiny with the Hartke rig! worried now as I looked around for reviews and found [url="http://forum.tcelectronic.com/viewtopic.php?id=2299"]this post [/url] on the TC forum... So it doesn't like low B strings? I find that hard to fathom. Surely it must be fine - they don't make a seperate BASS version.[/quote] Hey fella! Hmm 'interesting' linked post! - Can't help thinking they're being a bit like a bunch of moany old women though! Well - I honestly I have to say that I've never noticed! So I guess it can't be all bad eh? - It doesn't like the F# on my 7 string though. Thing is, if a tuner takes any more than a few seconds to find the note, then I just play the harmonic at the 12th fret of said string instead - an octave up and a far cleaner note for the tuner to pick up. Maybe I do that automatically? but hey - I didn't buy the GM2 for it's tuner - I bought it because the processor and D/A's eat the competition alive. ;o) I used to have a naff ole tuner years ago - and I found that playing the *next* octave up harmonic (the one you find on the 5th fret) instead and it tracked absolutely fine. [quote]Anyway, if Dood says it's OK then it must be OK.[/quote] Awww! I'm touched! That really means a lot and I appreciate it loads! [EDIT] - I'm such a dummy! - I forgot that the GM2 has 4 modes of tuner! - two of them, one 'fine' tune and the other 'coarse' tune are both for Bass.

[quote name='eude' post='1183573' date='Mar 31 2011, 05:13 PM']From what I've read, it's going to be substantially smaller and lighter than the LittleGiants, no word on power though. Should be on the Ashdown site soon and will be launched at Musikmesse, very very soon... Thing is, I'd love to like Ashdown gear, but in my experience, either the quality control has gone wanting, or if it does work, it just doesn't sound great. Having said that, they really seem to have pulled their socks up recently, all the valve stuff they've recently released is apparently brilliant! If they can manage to bring out something that can seriously keep up with the new Genz Benz, Mark Bass or Gallien Krueger offerings, I'd be happy to buy British Eude[/quote] I see the mention of using a B&O power amp section - which I think is being used in other lightweight amps. Genz & MarkBass??

[quote name='BassPhoto' post='1183193' date='Mar 31 2011, 12:14 PM']Hi bass chatters! I finally turned up several weeks after Dood gave me his card. World domination in photography has taken up my time. I'm fromBristol and I play a Hohner B2 active cricket bat Steinberger type bass, with stainless steel strings cos I'm allergic to Nickel. I also have a 5 string and a fretless.[/quote] Hey!! Welcome aboard too! - OOohhh I like the B2 basses! - I've just stopped myself from buying a DB version off ebay! - I totally don't need another bass, but I nearly got bitten by the bug to have one!!

[quote name='patch006' post='1183570' date='Mar 31 2011, 05:12 PM'][quote it's such good quality - me confused I think this forum has alot to do with it, this is a great place to get advice. So many Gas quenching bargains come up for sale, hence the reason I have had six different amps and prob the same amount of trades/sales on basses in the last 12 months. I have now settled for the RH450 because it is great very versitile with very practical usable features, as you say very solid build quality.[/quote] Ha ha ha!!! We posted pretty much the same response within minutes of each other!!

It's the fault of BassChat as a forum. No one ever suffers from G.A.S until they join up - then they wanna change their gear every five seconds! Nothing wrong with the gear at all. Man, are we fickle??? I've gone through so much gear since Bassworld forum v.1!!!

[quote name='MythSte' post='1178998' date='Mar 27 2011, 11:41 PM']I would imagine that they're suggesting that TC cabs that are rated at 8 ohms are actually measuring 8 or above, and that other manufacturers may be below. It makes sense that they are covering themselves with a sort of margin for error with regards to other cabs.[/quote] That's kinda what I had in mind - if each individual TC speaker manufactured was only say half an ohm higher, then multiples of the cabinets would present a high enough load not to fry the amp - whereas, as Ste as rightly pointed out, there is no way of being sure that another manufacturer hasn't been less than accurate with their own ratings.

[quote name='Matt_Arlita' post='1180952' date='Mar 29 2011, 03:59 PM']Cheers guys! Just 'Liked' you on Facebook Dood. I also recognise you from Norwich Darkside (complete ghost town at the moment!)[/quote] Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh yup! thas me! )

Hey Matt! Welcome aboard chap! - I'm a fellow Norwich-ite too - feel free to add me on ma facebook n' the like. Nice rig by the way - 'Stag' on the forum, another fine bass player from 'our fine city' is looking at 4003's at the moment, so I'm in no doubt he'll want to have a chat with you! Cool, speak soon! Dooooooooooooooooooooooood

WOO! ) New gear day! - oh and if ya like that kinda thing, the GM2 colour coordinates nicely with the LH head and HX cabs! Lots of black and silver!!

[quote name='chrismuzz' post='1176786' date='Mar 26 2011, 12:56 AM']Guitar Pro is actually tab software, but it also makes an attempt at converting the tab to standard music notation. You can also choose whether to display the tab/music/both, and print them out. If you've not tried it already it might be worth a shot [/quote] I think the early versions were more directed at Tab and 'did' notation - I'd highly recommend version 6 though as it's GUI is a massive improvement over 5 - it allows you to insert standard notation cleanly and simply. Yup, I'd recommed it too.

Do you also find, on a similar note, that sometimes you think you are playing like a complete arse and having a really bad gig - but whoever you speak to after the gig thinks you were on top form?!! How does that work? ha ha!!

[quote name='JTUK' post='1176965' date='Mar 26 2011, 09:57 AM']You could check out MU rates .....[/quote] The MU is such a great resource for sample contracts, teaching and session rates etc - Is my first port of call for most musicy enquiries. So +1 for this!

I know it's an old thread, but I stumbled upon this TB thread whilst googling stuff! [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/fender-jazz-bass-special-circa-1984-87-a-716045/"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/fender-ja...84-87-a-716045/[/url] More Jazz special porn!

Thom, who are you refering to? I can edit the thread title so that it's easier for people to see who the feedback is for

I've just taken delivery of a rack case from Tony - Brilliant comms and super fast delivery! Thank you!
