always thought that the Boomtown Rats Mary of the 4th form a bit ify

if you're getting mud cut the bottom end, anything below 50Hz just muddy's the sound and is unnecessary, you need low mids to cut through, around 100Hz

Ah, but he resists her advances, but you do wonder what sort of mind (or experience) comes up with lyrics like that

perhaps he was saying it because of the boring well overlong last 3 minutes, if he wasn't he should have been

once heard an interview with the producer of Brown Sugar, he said Mick insisted having the vocal low in the mix because of the risque lyrics

which cab sim is that?

it's on ebay as well

just watched it yesterday, I agree adding the ashtrays was totally unnecessary, I once bought a P with them on, the first thing I did was take off the pickup cover, it really gets in the way, but a none player might think they looked good, and no mention of the string height afterwards, I know it's difficult to tell from the TV but it didn't look any lower after he'd done the work, nice story though

bit more info here https://www.talkbass.com/threads/zoom-ms60-b3-para-eq-help.999053/page-2#post-15143265 After that the frequencies are set that way on this preamp : - Bass : 40Hz - Low-Mid : 800Hz (Low mids ???) - Hi-Mids : 4kHZ - Treble : 7kHz and you can select the frequencie you want as Mids (real low mids for example ). Another information : the 3 mids parameters have a smaller Q than the mids of the Amp Sims (so acts on a larger band). just been paying around with this on my B1on and in fact the frequency selection control affects the Lo Mids not the Mids as seems to be indicated

this is true, but we do like to play it in the 'right' key wherever possible

well it was a long time ago

an old thread I know, but the band have decided to have a go at peaches, now I've always played it in D, but it would appear that the original is in Eb (that's what it looks like J J is playing on a live video I've looked at), no open strings there then, what key do others play it in? not that it matters a lot as long as the guitarist is playing in the same one lol

like one or to of us have said it's fairly easy to get your bank details as well, if you're concerned about fraud maybe cash is king for you, me? I'd rather get paid straight into my bank account than paypal, no fees and no chance of being conned on paypal who nearly always side with the buyer, or so I'm told.

point taken, but this was obviously a stunt to make Clarkson look stupid, there was no chance he'd lose the money, there's no point in a fraudster using this method because they couldn't keep the money, but yes, it is possible to set up a direct debit without the account holders permission. It is easy to get direct debit payments back, I've done it when an energy company I'd left kept taking payments

I think they are safeguards in place to stop this happening, they would need access to your bank account, something Name, account number and sort code doesn't give them.

as I understand it there's no problem giving enough bank a/c info out for someone to pay money in, they can't get money out with it, it's no more than what's on a debit card or cheque

my home insurance covers me outside the house, now if they'd pay out if stuff was stolen from my car or untended at gigs is another thing, if they get a whiff of getting paid (strictly hobby use only) I suspect the claim will be thrown out, but I'm from the "I can afford to replace it so I don't bother with insurance" camp

so one of Absolutes selling points is that they don't keep repeating the same songs, but do it anyway, a logic free zone methinks

same for me, I use a P bass and just whack the gain up to 10, the warning light doesn't come on, whenever someone borrows my amp they always turn it down, and the one at the rehearsal studio is never on 10 when I get there, they're obviously not using their ears or the warning lights

nothing to do with royalties, just plain lazyness, lack of musical knowledge, and an assumption that listeners don't listen for more than an hour or two at a time. I listen to Gold in the car, they play oldies from the 60's, 70's and 80's, you'd think they's be loads of choice but the same tracks keep popping up, it's like nobody can be bothered to reprogram the playlists

I had a similar thing, listed an item while the sell for £1 was on, sold it, the buyer didn't pay, raised a dispute, and closed it when the time ran out, got my selling fee back, was asked if I wanted to relist it which I did, sold it again and got charged the full selling fee, it was only a couple of quid so I didn't bother arguing but it did annoy me

for all it's faults I've found E bay is still the best place to shift stuff, and I find you don't get so many daft questions or time wasters, I try Gumtree and FB first if I'm not in a hurry, but usually finish up on E bay. Trouble with Basschat is it's the only one you have to pay for if you don't sell, and I don't like selling anything that's less than perfect to fellow basssists, and there's usually something that's not quite right otherwise I wouldn't sell it would I? "best bass I've ever owned" yeah yeah that's why you're selling it

it is surprising how often this happens, especially if the it's a Marquee festival, outside everything is clear, especially the bass, inside just a trebley mess, lots of gigs sound better with ear plugs in for the same reason. Seen From the Jam a couple of times, with and without Rick Buckler, top gigs and one of my bass playing heroes, his bass lines add so much to the songs. He always uses a P when I see him

one thing does puzzle me about the need for a Thumpinator (and I agree you don't want low end crud) if it's inaudible why wouldn't amp designers design their amps not to produce it, after all it's soaking up power to no obvious benefit
