[quote name='Finbar' post='265977' date='Aug 19 2008, 11:29 PM']I'm guessing if you don't need the options the LS-2 has, the VFB-jr is buffered and true bypass? And smaller board footprint.[/quote] That's what I thought, after from checkin out my options. The LS-2 looked like it'd be something that I'd need to spend time figuring out, whereas the VB-jr I could just twiddle for 5mins and BINGO! job done. Same reason the VFB was dropped from my choice...I can't see myself needing a feedback loop at any time in the future, so why loose the board space

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='266106' date='Aug 20 2008, 10:10 AM']Good story! Doesn't matter what type of music you play, there is always a sonic relationship between the different instruments in a band setting which can be ruined by poor use of e.q. or improved by sensitive use of e.q.[/quote] ok, I kinda get what's being said about EQing bass to the kickdrum (I understand that they're there to compliment each other) but does that mean trying to make your bass sound like the kick drum (e.g. kinda boomy/wooly in the case of my regular drummer) or to compliment it, like the way the snare and a tom sound when hit together?

[quote name='BassMunkee' post='266061' date='Aug 20 2008, 08:28 AM']So I get my new Rotosound 40/100 with the nice red cottony bits on and I take my old strings off and put my new strings on... G: check D: check A: oops - doesn't fit in my nut, the old strings were the same gauge, so anyway I try some brute force. That's better. E: check Tuning up: check Bit of a play: oo-er that's a bit funky, and not in a James-Brown-Sexy-Crotch way So me nut's come off, pulled off by the A string d'oh. So anyway a bit of filing later and some super glue and we're good to go, strange though coz when I changed the strings 3 years ago or so, they fitted fine, still there we go. Thought I would share that.[/quote] r a n d o m

Top marks mate! real good tunes there

[quote name='slaphappygarry' post='265645' date='Aug 19 2008, 04:32 PM']Don't bother. I don't risk anything if my gut tells me otherwise. Alternatively, have him put it on eBay. If he is serious then the fee's wont be a big problem and you will get the in built protection paypal has to offer. Garry[/quote] actually that's a crackin idea! Doesn't paypal offer some protection/recourse if it all goes wrong even without the Ebay association? When I pay BCers, it's invariably via paypal, and it seems to suit eveyone! *spelling edit*

[quote name='PauBass' post='265633' date='Aug 19 2008, 04:23 PM']Thanks a lot for your help guys, you are very kind. Seller is based in Glasgow and I'm down in Brighton & Hove.[/quote] defo a bit far for a collection! lol! actually, does Brighton Airport goto Glasgow..? I've no idea if it'll be a viable option, but could be included in a short break mebby?

[quote name='coasterbass' post='265387' date='Aug 19 2008, 12:25 PM']Thats a good plan. Find a mediator.[/quote] where are your respective locations? I could be able to act as a mediator/escrow as I'm the Goods Inwards guy at work and thus would be able to recieve and send packages easily (unless it arrived at the weekend!) hit me up if you want any help with it!

[quote name='BassMunkee' post='265341' date='Aug 19 2008, 11:39 AM']It's a deliberate mispelling done to poke fun at people who do it accidentally, sometimes used ironically, like: ZOMFG111!!!111!!11!1111!!!!! or WTF???////?/?[/quote] ahh! Thats teh sh*t, right there! lol! kthnxbai! edit: in case it's not already up here, 'kthnxbai', 'kthanxbai', 'kthnkzbai' etc etc is a shortened bastardization of 'Okay, thank you, goodbye', popularly used by [url="http://icanhascheezburger.com/"]Lolcats[/url].

I had a bit of a scout around, and Bob the Blender's valve freak all hell outta me! I'd be sooo paranoid about busting it, it just wouldn't get used. The Boss just didn't tickle my fancy. looks like a great pedal, but it didn't GAS me up! The Twin Amp thang...would LOVE to, but I can barely fit my Hartke on the stages I use, let alone another amp too! So, I have (with the kind help of Toasted) recently aquired a Barge Concepts VB-Jr (cos I didn't need, or even manage to imagine, any time I'd use the feedback loop of the bigger pedal)...I'll letcha know how I get on when it arrives! Thanks for the help!

He'll be driving a big red volvo, with a SR5 and a hartke stack, and you'll all know him as Phil_the_bassist

ok, first off....why does "the" tend to get spelt "teh" (ref. above post)? BUT another good'un is: DILLIGA(F)F = Does It Look Like I Give A (Flying) F*ck

[quote name='Geddys nose' post='265030' date='Aug 18 2008, 10:41 PM']I've still got the CD of them great band IMO very much like Fun Lovin' Criminals but with a edge and darlings of Chris Evans TFI Friday Ahhhh! them where the days.[/quote] They've not been off my playlists since I first heard 'em when I was about 13! funkin love their stuff! Have you got the standard Done&Dusted or the double disc edtn with the remixes? well worth tryin to source if you're into dub/drum&bass/ambient type stuff.

Nick[/quote] Yes, yes it was. and for that assault on the reading part of my brain, I must ask for renumeration in the way of roughly 10% of you bass collection all in the name of fairness y'see, so you can't complain!

[quote name='lowhand_mike' post='264596' date='Aug 18 2008, 02:22 PM']and yeah lets see them wing mirrors[/quote] Hell yes, get some shots up!

Nicely done mate! Congrats! hopefully bigger and better will follow! If it was a bit closer, i'd be there in a Flash!Flash!Flash! but it's not, so I'll get me coat...

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='264556' date='Aug 18 2008, 01:43 PM']Breathe it would seem![/quote] LOL! currently living in that atmosphere atm too! luckily i've made it blatantly clear that my shiny things are NOT to be fecked with...but if I can get that kinda paint job then it might well be worth while sacrificing a lesser instrument!!

I'm guessing the winner wasn't amoungst our number, it would've been interesting to see what it was like! d'ya recon it'll be back on EvilBay within a week or so?

[quote name='coasterbass' post='264453' date='Aug 18 2008, 11:59 AM']a) proved ourselves to know more about acoustic science than the Env Health guys know more about electricity than the electrician c) were proved to be the reasonable and professional ones in the eyes of the 'happy' couple.[/quote] I think the smiley w/ shades adds kudos to you arguement just goes to show that the band aint as thik as wot the drummer looks, innit?

[quote name='coasterbass' post='264390' date='Aug 18 2008, 09:53 AM']As a plus point I met up with bassjamm and bought his Schroeder 1210R, so I'm very excited about that.[/quote] Sounds like an absolute nightmare! At least you've got a silver lining to that cloud! Is there anywhere on the forum to list a warning of nightmare venues? (Mods, would this be appropriate?)

[quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='264263' date='Aug 17 2008, 11:47 PM']Allo Phil! I've no idea - although I've got an interview with him in Bassist mag somewhere - from around '96 I think! So yes, I have heard of him! Cheers m8. Nick[/quote] Lol! Dr. Nick, that was one of the most informative but absolutely useless answers I've ever recieved from a licenced practitioner of medicinal music! defo made me chuckle, and on a monday morning that's a rare feat! Eye thang kyoo Phil

Hey all, it's a random question I know, but I'm trying to track down any other work by this guy. He was the bassist for the Dust Junkys, and I'm hoping a few of you Mancunians might've heard of 'em! It was a combination of his & Stu Zender playing that got me into bass and I was curious as to what he's up to now! Any ideas?

possibly worth a look if it doesn't go much past the start price...?

[quote name='Bassassin' post='263633' date='Aug 16 2008, 04:07 PM']Ashdigits has good feedback & has been knocking around Ebay for years - so I'd say if you don't mind the markup - go for it.[/quote] +1 I've got a few bargain projects&parts from him, never had a problem!
