Happy Jack

Really liking that field.

Pah! Call yerselves punk?

Every little thing he does is Sledgehammer.

When's yer first gig then?

Are you having a feast?

Becoming progressively more amused at the number of people advocating various forms of physical aggression or bodily intrusion, despite having been told that the drummer in question was a PT Instructor in the armed forces. We seem to have some very serious keyboard warriors here ...

I'm a real whore for PJB kit, and I love the look of this. I already use a mic-stand-mounted vocal monitor which will take a Line In feed from my electric bass rig if I wish to add that (a WPM-1 since you ask), but this would be a very cool addition to my DB rig. As with all PJB stuff it ain't cheap, but I'd be willing to bet that it's bloody high-quality and very effective.

Ah yes, the famous Custom Shop Jazz, also known as the [i][b]Cornish Precision[/b][/i].

In that case, you may recognise some of these: http://www.historypin.org/en/national-brewery-heritage-trust-s-collection/geo/51.371825,-0.348031,12/bounds/51.279251,-0.452229,51.464213,-0.243832

The anger fades away soon enough. It was always going to get marked sooner or later, and if you and that drummer work well together musically it's certainly not worth wrecking that relationship. We live in an age where people pay extra to buy their instruments pre-ruined ...

There's a Grateful Dead quote just waiting to emerge ...

Kinsman guitar stool. Completely stable, takes any type of bass, and you can sit down during drum solos.

[/quote] Hey, I'm loving these ideas, can I make a contribution? How about, they could even be like really, really sarcastic in a sardonic, highly-superior sort of way. Sarcasm is good. We need more sarcasm. Smileys are good, too. Hey, it's ALL good.

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1452855873' post='2954077'] So using multiple identical (or non-identical) drivers across the entire bass guitar frequency range is not an ideal solution in theory, even though it appears to work reasonably well in practice. [/quote] Sounds to me like the theory needs re-visiting then.

You're not going to let me forget that, are you?

BMU? ¿Qué?

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1452780343' post='2953420'] Frankly Jack, I think your attitude stinks, I would have paid good money to see you in that band [/quote]

The worst buzz I ever had from a rack system was one of the butterfly catches vibrating at certain frequencies. That also stopped when I moved the rack. Just saying ...

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1452779384' post='2953403'] IME the only effort that manufacturers make to have their cabs designed to work together is making sure that the stacking corners fit together. [/quote] Not that this is a bad idea, of course.

[quote name='gapiro' timestamp='1452780421' post='2953422'] Our band has a 3 person management structure [/quote] I am SO going to offer this idea to the bands I play with ...

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1452100939' post='2946429'] if im honest, I'm always surprised that people don't do this! I think the lowest note I've ever HAD to play was a D and that would be fine with the hipshot. [/quote] In my main covers band we play half a dozen songs in B. I don't HAVE to play a low B in any of them. But it's nice when I do.

[quote name='jbasst' timestamp='1452699894' post='2952572'] How do you justify it to yourself that you 'need' another? [/quote] How long have you got?

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1452695497' post='2952515'] Elsewhere there are artists I just don't know who I must get round to exploring some time but have never quite found the time or impetus... Another form of blind spot. I never properly checked out Motown, Stax and Philly beyond stuff on the radio until I was in my very late 20s. [/quote] This is bang on the mark for me too. The charts were full of Motown and Stax when I was growing up and I simply took all that for granted, American pop music. I didn't really appreciate that style of music until I picked up a bass and tried to [i][b]play [/b][/i]some of it!

So then we got the fretless Precision, and discovered that the Jazz was pretty good for rock music. Did anyone ever get stung by a Stingray?
