i'm a bit confused. Does opening the gate mean letting the sound you want through, or does it mean that the gate effect will start? i want to set up a gate to stop squeals and feedback for guitar (sorry). what settings should i start off with? ta.

don't forget to add or start a feedback thread. This kind of situation is why we have them.

Mofo46 bought my ME-50B. Remarkably easy transaction, would be more than happy to do business with him again. Marvellous

[quote name='BassPimp66' timestamp='1359243325' post='1952161'] My bass is a "she" because I slap her. I also call her my "hoe" because she likes being slapped by her mac-daddy pimp. [/quote] i never!

My Blitz Bass and Chaparral guitar.

[quote name='redbandit599' timestamp='1359202822' post='1951462'] For boats 'she' is pretty much the accepted terminology, anything else a bit weird. Mind you, I think that football fans who continually go on about '[u]we[/u] should have done this' , or ' [u]we [/u]played better in the second half etc' are even more deluded. You're just watching, probably not even at the game, there is no WE! You are just a punter! [/quote] Players and coaching staff use the 'we' to refer to the club as a whole, including the fans. A Football club is a club, without the fans it would be nothing. Fans are very much a part of it, and contribute to it's continued existence. Ask any sport psychologist the importance of crowd support. Back OT I think it's similar the reasons boats are 'she'. The vast majority of bassists are men, I would guess the vast majority of those who call their bass 'she' are straight, and would not want to touch a male in the intimate way we touch our basses.

I use Audacity to faff about with mp3's, but does anyone use it for recording? I'm a bit of a technophobe so lack of features is a plus!

in my youth I played drunk and sober. No noticeable difference according to the video and recordings. Of course the term 'drunk' is open to interpretation. I've never been legless or incapable. These days I like to have a few beers as I like to drink ale. Over the course of 4 hours or so I'll have 3 or maybe 4.

started off on classical guitar. Always had emery boards and nail hardner/clear varnish to keep nails in order. Still played when I started bass so I used a bass pick. All fingers now on bass though, and no more serious classical playing. Interesting that Segovia was considered a heretic for using his nails to play.

and so, I finally decided not to add a second pup, but I have got a black Tonepros AVT2 bridge to replace the none adjustable wraparound which is on it.

[quote name='mc2' timestamp='1358413134' post='1938568'] 8) BTW....The long-awaited definitive book on the history of Hamer Guitars is actually FINALLY coming out in a couple of months!!! I think that will also be a bit of a catalyst to re-spark interest in Hamers. I shot some of the photos [url="http://www.schifferbooks.com/newschiffer/book_template.php?isbn=9780764343520"]http://www.schifferb...n=9780764343520[/url] [/quote] is that "Serial Steve"?

The theatre show of Rock Of Ages, is both genius and cheese. The film is a grave disappointment.

Wal's are fugly. IMO YMMV

yup. Why should guitarists have all the fun?

[quote name='peteb' timestamp='1357255218' post='1920094'] Possibly the reason for the start of their demise?? [/quote] i'm guessing the rock/metal market for guitars is the biggest and therefore the most lucrative?

Love my Hamers's. A blitz bass and a Chapparal guitar. Didn't they pull out of the rock/metal market in the 90's?

[quote name='musophilr' timestamp='1357052645' post='1916801'], just goes to show what sh*t happens when you sell out to pop producers. [/quote] Yup, number 1 singles and albums in most territories, stadium gigs, millions of record sales, millions of £'s earned, and supermodel wifes/girlfriends. Where can I find some pop producers to sell out to?

i have a kindle keyboard 3G can't comment on the Fire but would be interested to know.

on the kindle now, can log in and basschat seems to be hale and hearty. many thanks to anyone from BC who helped with this!
