Happy Jack

Extraordinary to think he was several years older than my Dad! I grew up listening to Chuck and Elvis and The Beatles. So that's just Sir Paul and Ringo left ...

It's bass, Jim, but not as we know it.

Lully and the Couperins? Yeah, I caught their gig at The Tuileries back when they still had good music there.

No Chris, he meant http://youtu.be/lNYcviXK4rg

You may have missed this, since it has been posted in the wrong (IMHO) section: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/300747-l200-thomann-the-t-amp-tsa-v-7oo-multi-channel-power-amp/ It's a bit heavier than a TH350 mind ...

Hmmmmm ... maybe slaphappy is the way to go.

I can see the sense in discouraging other manufacturers from making designs where the headstock snaps if you sneeze, yes.

I've had several U-basses from people as different as Kala and Harley-Benton. Your Countryman shouldn't be giving you this sort of grief ... just send it back and insist on a working instrument instead.

Were it not for the fact that you specified 'slap', I'd be all over this. I never learned to play slap DB and I'm too old now - that stuff is arthritis on a stick.

I suspect there are enough differences between the two for such an action to have failed. http://vintage-guitars.blogspot.com/2006/04/gibson-eb-1.html http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/gallery/gallery2/bass.html

I still want to know more about Rocakabilly, mind.

But for my trail camera I use lithium batteries - alkaline batteries are far too sensitive to temperature. Worth thinking about if you routinely play outdoors in mid-winter ...

[quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1489534045' post='3257800'] Super compact is a 12 though, so cant really be gen 3 of the compact. So i guess there was only 2 gens of the 15 ? For some reason, there are no 15's currently listed on the BB website [/quote] But surely you need 15s to get the really low bass notes? Bwahahahahahahaha!!!

But in that case, choice of DI box is pretty critical. Using a cheap active box will really not help at all. If you want to go straight to PA, then IME you either need one of the excellent Radial boxes (I have a Passive JDI and also a StageBug) or even better you need a Fishman preamp pedal, my favourite being the Platinum Pro. There are are plenty of other good boxes to choose from.

That's tiny enough that you could use it as a neckplate ...

I'm astonished that so far no one has called out Ralph on his not-so-subtle sub-text with this topic ... today's charts PROVE that Ed Whatshisname is actually BETTER than The Beatles, and he's just not man enough to admit it!!!!!!!!

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1489481857' post='3257224'] Didn't Fenders of the period also have chamfered edges on the pickguard? [/quote] Ah, but this is an "old after market pickguard".

[quote name='krispn' timestamp='1489480772' post='3257216'] Wasn't radio always a bit biased in what it played ... [/quote] [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1489481308' post='3257220'] Understatement of the year so far ... [/quote] [quote name='dood' timestamp='1489484527' post='3257262'] Yes! Biased in what they play, say, do... Can't expect much more from the British Biased Corporation [/quote] Oh bloody hell Dood, get a grip! I was talking about radio in general, not the BBC. I'd say more, but you've already dragged f***ing politics into this topic.
