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='krispn' timestamp='1489480772' post='3257216'] Wasn't radio always a bit biased in what it played ...

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.

They didn't actually do these in LPB did they? Every factory fretless I've ever seen from the 70s is either 3TS or a hippy re-fin.

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1489432122' post='3256893'] They shouldn't include streaming, only downloads. My daughter has been streaming one song several times a journey every time she gets in the car. One person could be responsible for maybe 100plays in one week. To me that's not really a true measure of 'popularity' of a song. . [/quote] I entirely agree ... except ... what makes the number of physical 45rpm singles sold a better answer? As a teenager I bought loads of 45s. Some got played twice and then never again, some were still being played regularly years later. The charts of my yoof didn't detect any of that. A 1973 Top 20 chart based purely on the number of plays each song got on UK radio would look different from a chart based on sales, but would be equally valid or invalid depending on your point of view. Streaming is just radio-on-demand.
