Something which i suspect could be done with 2" of polystyrene slab Just mosey down to your local independant fridge/cooker/hoover leccy sales shop and ask them for some polystyrene packing from inside one of their fridge shipping boxes. Its usually free

£64 for a bit of sponge ? Seems the main benefit is to the ' inventor '

Thanks bird ! Off to do some wiring

My J style bass has a P and a J but both are Humbuckers, and have decided to pull out the East Retro 01 and fit standard control plate Vol Vol Tone The Humbuckers are just 2 wire jobs ( hot n ground ) as per normal J bass pups. So as i have forgotten the most basic of wiring up configuration, ( der ) would this diag be ok ? I've seen variations, which is why ask

Cheers Bill Oh man, i'll have to reply to the guitarist and say he was right. How depressing

So that guitarist was right ? Dammit 1db is just noticable but only in the midrange ?

I struggled to find the answer here on searches, there's just so much info. But, a guitarist ( yes one of those, not a bassist ) says that a human being with normal hearing, can detect an increase of less than 3db. I thought the minimum increase a human ear can detect was 3db, assuming the human has no impairment to the ears. Or maybe it's 2.9db or something. Is 3db just a ball park figure ? So, you have a bass cab that has a driver with rated efficiency of 100db. You set your amp volume at number 5. You get x amount of perceived volume. You then change the driver ( same cab , same TS spec, leave amp volume knob where it was ) but the driver is now 103db efficiency. Can one perceive a volume increase. ? All things being the same again, but with a driver with efficiency of 102.5db . Can that increase be perceived ? Or what about 102db... ?

Recently picked up this combo and was wondering , thats if Ampeg do not fit their own manufactured speaker units, what speaker would be used. Do they outsource from say, Eminence or others ? The bottom end on this is huge, when using the P neck pup, and almost undefeatable. I have a Jazz type axe thing but with a P in the neck. Both pickups are the the Entwhistle Neo's with their monster magnets and also have an East jazz drop in preamp. I'm thinking it could be the bass and/or preamp. Using the P neck pup, with all bass rolled off on the east preamp AND ampeg, the bottom end is still huge. Having said that, I love this combo

Vintage = Low-Fi Modern = Hi-Fi I'm partial to something inbetween. Mid-Fi

[quote name='ColinB' timestamp='1441658991' post='2860729'] Why would you not want to stab the drummer? [/quote] Indeed, if you play on the drummer's right and play right handed, stab away. Unless you play on the drummer's left and are right handed ( me ), you can stab the gitwrist. Just as good a target, i reckon

I hope he takes note. Nature is trying to tell him something. Never liked his bass style or music, but i adore the man himself. A proper character, a scholar and gent and tells things how they are.

Talk of the devil...

Quite right Strange, my local garage charges a huge amount compared to 20 years ago to fix my Vauxhall. So does the local electrician, and the plumber, when i need their relevant services They obviously havent heard the news

Who was actually on Mastermind ? I missed it Saw KC live ( Discipline era ) way back in time at Friars in Ayelsbury and was suitably blown away. Belew was a maniac

Just seen someone post my thoughts Basically, yes, you've set a precendent as a dep by playing so many freebs, that they now expect it. As a dep, you are not part of the band, so disregard you play more gigs than their regular bassist. Unless you put your foot down, ( ah 1 ah 2 ah 3 and a 4 ) it will go on as they've got it sweet. While you keep accepting freebie gigs, they'll keep on not paying you. They're not daft are they ? Slight off topic To me, and i know this is the same for all musos, i'm wondering why gig money hasn't gone up with inflation. Everything has increased, yet gig money is either worse, or at best the same as 25 years back or more I know in '91 our band was getting roughly £250 per gig for pub work, and clubs paid a bit more. I'm sure it was at that level before then, and its still that way now

Yeah i'm pretty sure non musos wouldnt even think about that line being hard work.

Someone mentioned JB's Sex Machine, and thats just timing, as the notes are easy enough in themselves . SM is a not track i have a problem with but HMWYRS took a fair while 16ths over an extended period while swapping frets & strings can be tricky to get it seamless. But in the end, its just practice. I find if i leave it for a few months, the seamlessness just disappears, so its a track you have to keep on top of, if you like it of course, or is one of your band's covers. Riverboat is one of our bands covers, and i love the bass line. Never had a problem with the repetitiveness
