I got some studio monitors from them. The packaging looked a bit grotty but they work fine. Could have returned them, guy on the phone was very helpful, but no need. The only problem was, they were delivered when I wasn't in, so I had to pick them up from the delivery depot, which was 10 miles away. They still work fine, and were a great price.

yep, they are soon on tour. I think the original soundtrack album was re-recorded at some point too.

I saw this on Partysounds, not my thing but might be a heads up for someone on here? The band seem quite established, they've done TV appearances in Europe, and offer a 3 month paid retainer? WANTED: male/female Keyboard Player and Bass Player for Livan, a Prog/Rock band signed with Pumpkin Music. Needed for gigging/rehearsals. A 3 month paid retainer, starting asap. If interested please contact with influences, experience and a photo. . . [url="http://www.myspace.com/livanmusic"]http://www.myspace.com/livanmusic[/url]

What bass is Nicky playing on Later? It looks about like one of those cheap Italian jobs, but I don't think it is? here's a pic [attachment=24904:wire_bass2.JPG] and here's one I tried to get of the headstock [attachment=24905:wire_bass.JPG]

12stringbassist - nice collection! [quote name='stu_g' post='481395' date='May 6 2009, 08:48 PM']i bought a charvel star not long ago i like the sound (seymour duncans p+j ) but it is attracted to hitting things being so pointy plays fine though and no balance issues here it is in action: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbT8_Lx_fx4&feature=channel_page"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbT8_Lx_fx4...re=channel_page[/url][/quote] Down strokes all the way! Sweet bass. I just did a Google and am sorely tempted by this: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Charvel-Star-Bass-Very-Rare-RRP-%a31600_W0QQitemZ150325409386QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Charvel-Star-Bass-Ve...6QQcmdZViewItem[/url]

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='479680' date='May 5 2009, 09:06 AM']Thats a bit of a bummer![/quote] Another one due Friday But, I've been discussing the thumbchum with Jon. As the top of it will be the thumb rest - so the right hand position can be anywhere from the bridge to the neck - I want to make sure it's not too high. Jon is going to keep it at pretty much equal to the top of the p pup. There's a slight curve to the top, you can see on the pic, but Jon said he might be able to reduce the width a little if needed. I'm prepared to trust his judgement on what is comfortable, and I've told him I've got small hands

[quote name='jonny-lad' post='480972' date='May 6 2009, 01:39 PM']+1 for the MU cover, even though it only covers you as an individual. I've got this and I'm covered for whatever band I play in...I try to encourage everyone in bands I'm a part of to join the MU just for the free liability insurance and free instrument insurance - some people are reluctant because of the cost of being in the MU, but if a band needs insurance, it'll have to be paid for in one way or another.[/quote] The MU subsciption is cheaper than any insurance premium I've found - and reading the small print to find a policy that actually pays if things get nicked/damaged! I'm getting the student rate which is less than a fiver a month. I think that is amazing value.

and a black bridge.

cheers guys.

I've got a body, that I intend doing things with, but maybe not for a year or so - possibly longer. Do I need to make any special effort for storing it, or is the back of a cupboard good enough? BTW it is a [i]bass [/i]body!

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='480362' date='May 5 2009, 08:45 PM']cetera would be the man to ask[/quote] Yep the man from the Pru, er I mean PRS!

How old is Eric? 12?

This might force some good deals on the old stock?

[quote name='lowdown' post='479811' date='May 5 2009, 12:36 PM']Is that not numerical? As opposed to 3 [b]quavers[/b] to the beat, and 12 [b]quavers[/b] in the bar. I think my post was a bit confussing, sorry Garry[/quote] If we are talking about 1/8 notes, then wouldn't you expect there to be 8 of them? In 12/8 I think explaining 3 1/8 to the beat, and 12 1/8 to the bar, is more confusing. In 3/4 there are 6 1/8 notes per bar, it loses all sense once we move out of 4/4. I'm happy using the conventions developed over 1000 years of written notation .

Glad you like. BTW it's a new studio we used, so I'm interested in opinions about the quality of the recording. ta.

[quote name='Kongo' post='479283' date='May 4 2009, 07:36 PM']I used a Traben Array 5-string LTD in my band for a time. We were doing stuff between Prog and Mathcore and it certainly cut through! It's got a MM humbucker @ bridge and Sopabar at the neck. Didn;t like the feel though but it certainly cuts through. I don't use it no more and it collects dust...unfortunatly.[/quote] For sale section?

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='479231' date='May 4 2009, 07:01 PM']No sound[/quote] Not sure why, it's working ok for me and I'm not logged in to myspace. have you tried turning it off, then turning it on again?

[quote name='6feet7' post='479125' date='May 4 2009, 05:17 PM']As I couldn't afford a GUS bass and would love a thunderbird which wasn't neck heavy and prone to breaking I thought that this was the next best thing. Needed some moding though. First the pickups were replaced with Seymour Duncans and some routing for a Gibson humbucker put right up next to the neck. One of the tone controls was changed for a 5 way rotary pickup selector switch. The rather crappy gibsonesque bridge was replaced with a tunomatic and thru-body stringing - bit like a flying V (had to add the chrome cover as the posts for the tunomatic had to be moved back a bit and the old holes plugged so the plugs needed covering), the plastic nut was replaced with a brass one and the rather boring black scratch plate replaced with a white one and a thunderbird decal added. Now its got decent J and P bass pickups with a Gibson bass humbucker (and combinations of), looks sort of Thunderbird/Explorer but is balanced and less likely to have its neck break.[/quote] so how does it sound?

If you don't like old school heavy metal, then this probably isn't going to change your mind! But if you don't mind a bit of Priest, Maiden, Saxon, Motorhead, Venom, Exodus, Accept, etc then you might enjoy it.

[quote name='lowdown' post='478866' date='May 4 2009, 11:47 AM']So do i, In tandem with the time sig, it all makes numerical sense, especially for the beginner. Garry[/quote] not necessarily, it can be more confusing. If you are in 12/8 and you are talking about 1/8 notes, then you have three 1/8 notes per beat and twelve 1/8 notes to the bar.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='478747' date='May 4 2009, 03:52 AM']err... and so are you...?!![/quote] LOL. yeah doing an all-nighter, got essays due in on Tuesday.
