    BACK OFF EVERYONE! I am having this one. I hope. PM'd.

    I have the Felix. It buffers my piezo DB pickup better than anything else I have tried. And I have tried LOTS of things.

    I have NO possible use for the first jazz but want it because I could make a replica of the first bass which caught my eye in a live situation 35 years ago. I need to get a grip.

    Emptying parts drawers are my favourite sales threads!

    From the days when drum kits were proper drum kits. 3 floor toms.

    I bought 3. It would have been rude not to.

    Brian Downey! Brian Downey on drums! One of the unsung heroes. Lovely flowing playing.

    TBF Steve Jordan is not hurting anything either.

    Pino is a machine. I have been enjoying him for years. I have always known he is a machine. I just played " Who did you think I was". Pino is a machine.

    Thanks Dave, this looks a lot more interesting than what is on TV at the moment. I am off to play. Editing for clarity - that looks like a backhanded compliment, I mean it as anything but.

    Gallai ofyn yn Gymraeg os byddai hynny yn gwneud pethau yn haws.

    These are not brand spanking new, but also not old and tired. They have plenty of life left in them.

    I have a set of Innovations which served me well. I am almost certain that they are Honeys. They are not in the prime of their youth but have some life in them yet. I probably did not need to change them, but I did so here they are.

    40 hours max playing time. Not my flavour.

    Yes! And a little bit of sadness inside - the type you have when you know you have no use for something but you like to come back and look at it because ........maybe .............

    I am clearing. I have amassed a collection of 9 fat strings which I have been keeping for ............ umm ....................there was this thing ................ Anyway, that time is clearly over. They are essentially .120 or above B or lower strings. I cannot tell you what they all are, but there are several super fat bottom F# type doobries in there (Kallium if anyone cares). If they have been strung up at all (3 of them) it was only for as long as it took me to get a headache trying to deal with an extra string beneath B - possibly 5 hours playing time. Mess with super LF without paying over the odds.

    Other than my wife's Christmas cake, my dad's Christmas Trifle and Esther's Banoffee Pie, very little (that I want to discuss in public) makes me happier than extended LF. Obviously all good things need to be used in moderation and very carefully. I have not always managed this which explains my weight - both physical and tonewise on occasion. The space proper bottom end needs to breath means that it is impossible to monitor what is hitting the punters between the eyes when you are onstage, so yes, very careful set up and monitoring is imperative. BUT, all these things considered - a properly crossed-over sub will take over the heavy lifting from a cab on a pole kind of cab and will increase the headroom for those louder gigs. I am not sitting here saying everyone should get a sub, and in 98% of situations it would be superfluous. But the other 2% are lots of fun

    I recently bought a 6 string EUB with the intention of fretting it and stringing it F# to G. This is an itch I have been wanting to scratch for about 20 years. Could anyone suggest a luthier who would be stupid skilled enough to take on such a task?
  23. Owen
    A sub will provide extended LF goodness which might or might not be a good thing. What it will also do is provide more headroom. Whether more headroom is needed is a point for debate.
  24. Owen
    I used to resemble that remark a long time ago. Mackie SRM 450 top and SRS something or other 15" sub. I am sure the punters were drowning in extended LF, but I cannot deny it - I was having a great time.

    Peaches. Especially if that song is innapropriate for the venue. Most people are clueless, but there is always at least one person who will get it.
