  1. [quote name='Toasted' post='66160' date='Sep 26 2007, 10:06 PM']This sounds like an excellent idea to me.

    I reoutinley have posts removed (at least 1 this week) that break no rules, I don't know who did it, I don't know why.

    The mods shouldn't sit behind a screen of anonymous impunity, afterall - this is advertised as community not a dictatorship.

    FAKE EDIT: let me add, the post I had removed quoted another user and had the two words: "Succinctly put" with no other content. I wonder what rule that broke? - but then I don't know who to ask because none of the mods will own up to deleting it.

    Maybe it was a "database error" like the one that deleted the BT68 account?[/quote]


    I'm not really sure what you are refering to Joe. As a moderator I hide nowhere. I think the mods in general do post a message about posts being edited. Maybe one or two got through the net? I can't really do a 'look up' for edited posts as the forum doesnt have that kind of auditing available I don't think.

  2. Hey! Sadly.. and rather stupidly of me, I sold the Trace Preamp.. Guess I'll never learn!!!

    The AMP pre does look good, especially if its is essentially a TF. I have to admit, even being half tempted to looking at getting a TF.

    Or an Epifani 502.. or EBS TD650 an... EBS Classic or an... or an...

    Oh my oh my! please make the gas stop!! (Thing is i DONT even need one!!)

  3. Hi ZPQ. The only thing I would maybe add to the discussion at the moment, is that having a few moderators, we all have varying views on what should and shouldn't be moderated. I wonder if that can blur the edges of what should and shouldn't be 'edited' etc.

    I tend to be as lenient (spelling) as possible, but I will ** bad language and pull up people if they are being out of order.

    If there are any specific that you would like to pull up on, I am happy to take a look at, as I'm sure the other mods are too. I think Ped has hinted that we want the place to be as chilled out as possible. I think the majority of users on the board all want the same and are able to self moderate.

    Hopefully the infrequency of 'serious' moderation is a reflection on how well we all get on here.

    I like your ideas about the for sale section.. mebbe us mods can have a chat about guidelines. (Yes, I have been guilty of too many bumps!! (and was pulled up! lol)

  4. There's some cool basslines here! nice one!

    I'm going to be a bit lazy actually and just tell you about just 2 on my Website. (Yes, I should upload something new.. sorry!)

    go here [b]http://www.danveall.co.uk/media.htm[/b]

    But I like these. The first is called [b]'I Want The World'[/b]. Pretty much the whole bass line is tapped. Especially the intro as you can hear. I think the bassline is actually more visually interesting than what you hear in the mix. The verses feature a rolling three note motif, but is tapped in octaves. (thats not an octaver, thats 6 finger tapping baybee! lol lol) (you can hear the motif briefly at the end of the intro too)
    The breakdown also features a typical Sheehan/Myung octave tapped pedal too.

    The second I'd like to share is '[b]Psycho'[/b].
    More chops than a butchers shop!! We sat there in a very 'blurred' state (lol) dropping notes off of bars and making things difficult for ourselves!

    Look out for the bass, guitars and keyboards all sweeping in unison after the keyboard solo.

    Other tracks I really like are 'No Solution' with a cool 5/4 groove that later modulates to 4/4 but still has the same groove and 'Broken Dreams' which I think has my favourite all time guitar / keyboard solo, over more time changes than I care to mention, in about 30 seconds! check it out!

    I really hope you like them!

  5. Awww I have a confession to make! My two 'widdles' that I mainly use for soundchecks are 'bullwhip' by that Vai type chap and (if I have got the right song) the B pedalled bassline in Voices by DT .. actually.. I don't think thats the right song.. I'll have to check.

    The first one is so I know what my full range sound will be like, the second is to check 'bottom end'.

    They are not flashy, but Bullwhip seems to cover a pretty wide range and has some nice warm up style stretches in. 'especially if you try to cram all 45 seconds in 30!! ;o)

    I will noodle for a bit too, playing very light and very hard so Mr engineer gets a good idea of my dynamic range and any effects / solo sounds I may use.

    bullwhip vid is on my MySpace

  6. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='64133' date='Sep 22 2007, 07:06 PM']Hey Dood if you were close enough or just happened to be visiting you'd be more than welcome to blast through them (I have access to a private rehearsal space day or night). I can only begin to imagine the possibilities with both of our 6x10's and a 2x500watt output :)[/quote]


    I think you'd need to surgically remove me from one of the amps eventually! - I think I'm a bit of a distance away from you.. but yes I would LOVE to try 'em out!

    Though I have this horrible feeling it will have me panging after Tech cabs again, sir!!

  7. I even thought about having the cab myself ;o)

    Here's a thumbs up for Gwil. Top guy to deal with and if this cab has only been used a few times, then it is practially brand new, as I didn't gig it anymore than a few times either, before I went to 'more cones'.

    I love the clarity of the Accu' gear, really nice indeed.

    lol.. I don't think anyone from bassworld will forget that posting, a legend in the sport of foot shooting!! lol

  9. [quote name='metalmaniac' post='60493' date='Sep 14 2007, 05:43 PM']Ok cheers guys.

    Now just to find a good selection of 7 string sets.[/quote]


    For tapping, NewTone strings can make you a custom 7 string set. They are lovely bright sounding strings handmade in the UK. Very nice. Failing that, expect to go to a lot of suppliers and buy sets of 6+1 strings.

    Strings Direct and Stringbusters will do this if you contact them directly. Elite strings via House Music have been making up my sets recently. Rotosound are pretty easy to get of in singles too.

    Check out other suppliers such as overwater in the UK as well.
