Does the spalting affect the structural strength when used as a body as opposed to a thin decorative top?

Impressive!

what's the cab setup at rehearsal? Is it higher off the ground so it's exciting the body of the bass more? I found a notch filter as used on acoustic guitar preamps killed the feedback on my mate's problematic Hofner Verithin Bass without affecting the overall tone.

Looks like a lovely studio! I hope you get great results!

change the buttons for the rubber style ones used on old-school rugby shirts.

My drummer had (hand) surgery and was is off playing and even driving for at least 8 weeks. Still a few to go, and even then there's no guarantee he'll be able to start up where he left off. I've been keeping myself busy with online collaboration with another mate who is getting back into music, so still playing bass and trying to play drums for him!

Attitude! (not having a go!)

Billy Sheehan?

LIKE!

That's just cherry picking your drummer

I bought a really manky affinity Tele to practice fretwork on. They have a thinner body than normal so are really light weight. My mate loved it so much I had to give it to him. I play on it each time I visit and always surprises me how much i enjoy playing it too!

I swap my watch from my right hand to my left for gigs and recording. Stops the bass getting scratched there, and stops the ticks getting picked up on recordings!

If they are really expensive maybe they are scared to take them out of the house, damage, theft etc?

The radius of the body edges. Where the top meets the sides. The older ones have a larger radius edge making the bit where your forearm rests less sharp.

Really? It just doesn't look like it at all from the photos. Guess I need to see and feel one for real.

I wish they still made their basses and guitars with this softer body radius, it makes a more comfortable wear. It really makes a ton of difference. I tried an early Jr dc guitar in Denmark St years ago from about 61 but the price was stratospheric even then . Absolutely divine though.

I haven't tried it, but suspect the latency would make it almost impossible, and frustrate the hell out of you all. I'd love to be wrong though!

kTim Turan at Turan Audio often gets a shout. I used him for our digital single release and everyone seemed to think it sounded good. He's in Oxford. £50 a track, you can sit in on the session if you like too!

He must drop logs the size of a bus!

You can do series -parallel with a push -push pot on the volume or tone.

I'd also say the term progressive rock was used back then. Over the years the usage and implied meaning has changed slightly.

My wife and friend both enjoyed TBP a lot, but her picks of the weekend were Sergio Mendes and Level42, which were pretty good too, though I found Alphonso Johnson's solo with Mendes disappointing, sadly.

Saw the Bad Plus on Sunday, I thoroughly enjoyed them, interesting, engaging and entertaining in equal measure. Great sound quality too. Anyone else go? Joshua Redman at the Town Hall was terrific too. I don't want to restart the annual "it's not jazz" thing, but James Morrison, Katie Melua?
