i've gone for the M Audion option, hoping that getting to grips with pro tools won't be too hard. I am not a techie!

i'm covered for free through my MU membership.

So as posted earlier these are just rebranded Squiers?

Are they made in the same Factory as the Chinese Squiers?

cheers for the replies! As always Basschat comes up trumps

Are they uncomfortable, does the edge of the bridge plate dig in to your picking hand, and does the ridge affect picking if you want to pick over the pup? I'm guessing it's a case of adjusting technique to suit, but I'd be interested to hear from those who play them. ta

I don't have one, I have a volume potentiometer

Yep, looking forwards to this one

I was looking at getting one of those audio/USB things to plug my guitar in to the computer. Some come with basic amp sims and recording software and are not too expensive. But for a similar price I could get a new sound card with an audio input and bundled software. Which way would you guys go?

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1324254249' post='1472363'] I'd like to see a 'music off topic' and a separate 'off topic off topic'. If you see what I mean. [/quote] *would be pressing the 'like' button if there was one*

there is a lot of gear snobbery surrounding Behringer. Like any company they can make good stuff and crap stuff. Add personal taste and price in to the equation and we have the continual Behringer debate threads I'm using a Behringer X Amp multi fx for guitar, in the band I play guitar in. It does the job (some of the fx are actually rather good) and nothing else that did the job came close to the price.

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1324123463' post='1470996']Am I the only person to have felt rather uncomfortable about the sight of multi-millionaire artists such as Sir Cliff Richards lobbying for a change in the law because they felt that 50 years 'protection' of their royalties was not enough?[/quote] possibly. Why shouldn't musicians have the same rights to their work as authors?

hey, the bus 37 takes you from near yours to near mine LOL. We have other Basschatters from Brixton too. Have you been to BEM?

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1323544173' post='1464503'] Nope! Sixx [i]always [/i]favoured solid finish (dark coloured) Hamer Blitz basses. The striped (and polka-dotted!) ones were Hamer FBIVs (check my sig). Sadly, most of these are firewood now. P [/quote] I stand corrected. Would love to check out your FBIV, maybe the next Bassbash?

If I introduce one to my signal chain to reduce hiss, will it also affect sustain? If you use one what settings do you use? ta.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1323425685' post='1463142'] This is a relatively cheap option - the Nikki Sixx Thunderbird [attachment=94950:42168_l.jpg] £249 at DV247 [url="http://www.dv247.com/guitars/epiphone-nikki-sixx-blackbird-bass-guitar-pitch-black--42168"]http://www.dv247.com...ch-black--42168[/url] [/quote] Before his T's he used to play some lovely strippey Blitz's, after he moved on from spikey BC Rich's.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1323425329' post='1463134'] Where is MacDaddy when you need him? [/quote] you rang?

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1323424749' post='1463117'] A white Hamer Explorer for full on 80s Def Leppard-ishness [attachment=94949:def-leppard-153336.jpg] [/quote] that's his Hamer Scarab which he had through the Hysteria years. He had a lovely Hamer Blitz - Explorer shape - during Pyromania. Some poor deluded souls who have never quite gotten over the 80's still play these
