  1. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1495549308' post='3304672'] That would be unexpected - especially considering that it's a 5-note chord. ;-) [/quote] It does not have to have the fifth of the chord innit. Sorry, I am just going outside for a word with myself.
  2. My 3x10 plus horn weighs the same as a small planet but I love it so. I sometimes wonder about rehousing the guts in a vertical format in a lighter cab. One day maybe.
  3. When your significant other is happy, life is easy!
  4. The Polytone is prettier, but really that is the only difference. I cannot speak for them sonically because mine is on a tuner out.
  5. I am open to trades on..... ummm........ octaver things........... pedal preamps......... ummmmmm
  6. [quote name='manueljauregui' timestamp='1495479286' post='3304096'] hi, where are you located? [/quote] I am in sunny North Wales - but I can post it!
  7. [quote name='Lietuva' timestamp='1495478055' post='3304076'] It's nice to see it restored.. I wrote you few messages about this bass half a year ago. Sadly, I bought Pavel Gibor 6 instead. It would be interesting to hear how it sounds. [/quote] Argh! You did and I should have got back to you. Sorry!
  8. This one does it for me. It sits in my tuner out and is fine and dandy. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PT-06-Guitar-Pedal-Tuner-Chromatic-Pedal-Tuner-True-Bypass-for-Electric-Guitar-/401195568828?hash=item5d691e8ebc
  9. You know, fancy dan wood tops are all well and good, but when you can follow the grain all the way round an instrument - that is where it is at!
  10. I have not experienced these issues. As with any pedal which changes the sound to something else (Boss OC2 and Korg G5 in my experience) there has to be an element of technique change sometimes - I see it as playing a new instrument.
  11. I have come to the conclusion that not everyone craves the F# action so I am restringing this with a top C so that it becomes a "proper" 6 string bass.
  12. I am afraid that the Innovations have gone. As have the Zyex. I will update the original post accordingly.
  13. Dual-gang blah blah blah. I have no idea what you are talking about, but I DO have an MPM01 in a bass and it has a pan pot in it to choose Mag/Piezo or blend.
  14. [quote name='Andyjr1515' timestamp='1494971602' post='3300161'] The cross section here will be something like this (this is full size): The minimum radius at the edges will be 12-15mm at these two extremes and larger where the body is narrower [/quote] Mmmmmmmmmmmm, curvy goodness!
  15. The Zyex are medium (more heft dontchaknow) and the Evahs are................. um......... let me get back to you on that!
  16. I have strings which I will not be using. Why do I keep stuff? All used but not knackered. [s]Zyex £50 Sold[/s] Evah Orchestral £70 Innovation £40 Heli B £20 Postage inc.
  17. I am a long time member of the MU. I believe that Unions are a good thing. It is MU negotiated fees which are paid by the media. As soon as that splinters then the fees take a complete nose dive - and this is from the companies which would have no material without the actual performers. When I have had TV companies messing me around about payments, one phone call to the Union makes the magic happen. People talk about going it alone and independance and all that - media companies love that stuff. For them that equals paying less. In Welsh TV there is even a non union and a union rate of pay. You can guess which is the lowest. This despite the production company doing their initial costings (and getting funding) using MU rates. Obviously there are all sorts of situations where the Union can be seen as ineffective, but if you have a signed Union contract for a date then things tend to go very smoothly. There is also the aspect of industry lawyers looking over any contracts offered to members. Is the MU perfect? No, nothing is. But I prefer it to no union. I do not use it often but when I do it is effective. If it does not operate in the sphere you are working in then it is obviously not effective.
  18. [quote name='Andyjr1515' timestamp='1494602473' post='3297305'] [/quote] I am not feeling that headstock. Sorry, I'll get my coat..............
  19. I played this again this morning at church. Playing the fat string was a joy but I also proved to myself that 6 strings are not for me (again). So..... bump.
  20. I have started to work with a guitarist who has 3 acoustics on stage and at least 5 tunings between them during a set. Has anyone got direct experience with the roadie tuner https://www.roadietuner.com/. It looks like it could make life a whole lot easier, but not if it is useless! TIA
