[quote name='grenadilla' timestamp='1435004680' post='2804682'] Duane was called "Skydog" because he liked being high. "Skydog slaver" may be a callout to Duane because he was a slaving studio musician, paid very little. [/quote] Alternatively, maybe Mick was actually singing "scarred old slaver", which is what the lyric has been for over 40 years.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1434974092' post='2804254'] Spotify pay me 0.0004p per play. They currently owe me 40p that I can't withdraw because the amount is below the minimum withdrawal limit. That's an awful lot of plays to get 40p, how many other 40p's are they sitting on around the world ? [/quote] You've had 100,000 plays on Spotify?

Nice to be in a position to tell Apple to f*** off.

What's a comback ... is this a type of hairstyle?

Or ask her if she means Get It On and suffers from dyslexia.

[quote name='A.G.E.N.T.E.' timestamp='1434734937' post='2802382'] The controls are not very obvious and took me some time to get along with it. [/quote] Yes, agreed. I love mine when messing about in my studio or playing at rehearsals, but I'm useless at RTFM (just bone idle I'm afraid) so using it in live situations can be dicey. I tend to fall back on my Sansamp BDDI Deluxe because once I've programmed the pre-sets it's pretty much fire & forget. The Bass Attack is notably cheaper than the BDDI Deluxe, and used properly ( ) would probably represent better VFM.

'Growl' means a slightly less metallic 'Clank'.

There's always Star****er of course.

Bullet bitten, but only at Opening Bid price. If anyone wants to outbid me, I'll not be starting a bidding war.

Tempted, tempted, very very temped. I'm very tempted.

Last time I wore the fez was with my '96 England shirt when we played The King's Head (Acton) just before England -v- Sweden. When we finished playing, the pub discovered that their Sky contract had been allowed to expire (oops!). No worries, the match was obviously available on terrestrial too. Then the pub discovered that their aerial had been disconnected (oops!). Meanwhile, the barman is watching the match on his iPad so one of the punters produces an iPad and does the same. By now punters are drifting away ... they want to see the match. So the barman puts a chair on stage (this is before the refurb when they took away the stage, obviously) and balances his iPad on it for the whole pub to watch. Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear. Oh dearie, dearie me. That was a Group Match in the June 2012 Euros. We went out on penalties against Italy in the Quarter Finals. I'm sorry, what was your question again?

I had a fretted Lightwave Sabre 5-string some years back: [URL=http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/media/Basses%20SOLD/Lightwave%20Sabre%20VL%20SOLD/CIMG0093.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m496/h4ppyjack/Basses%20SOLD/Lightwave%20Sabre%20VL%20SOLD/CIMG0093.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Long enough ago that I barely recognise my old back garden! Very surprised by Hellzero's comments. Mine was absolutely lush, a very high-quality instrument with no problems or issues at all, and of course very lightweight. I didn't keep it because the sound was so transparent that there was nowhere to hide ... the slightest error in your technique or glitch in your bassline was right there for everyone to hear. I don't do much recording (if any) but I've always thought that - in the right hands - this would be a monster of a recording bass.

Let me distract you, to stop you thinking about it all afternoon: http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/library/Basses%20CURRENT/Mike%20Lull%20T5%202014%20CURRENT

Give me your email address and I'll reinforce that suggestion ...

Bloody hell! What I read was: [color=#002CFD]One socket is wired for stereo output from d-g strings but the other one appears to have been rewired for mono output for all four strings.[/color] What you've written puts a rather different slant on the whole thing! So what's the thinking with splitting the stereo by way of E-A and D-G? Would you treat each pair of strings to different FX pedals? Would you run them through different amps? Not sure I understand the benefit.

It was me who asked him about the output sockets. That's what put me off. Had it been in original stereo format I might well have gone for it.

When in doubt, blame the drummer.

Apparently they have "selectable impedenance" so anything is possible.
