PaulWarning

I've tried them, could never figure out what they do, I know what they're supposed to do, any sound difference is minimal in my experience

well that was interesting, tried the slapping over the pickup method @Jus Lukin suggested, once again the Zoom had little or no effect but turning down the 30Hz slider (-15db) on my Trace GP12 did, so maybe my zoom is a load of cack

no blend here's a link to the settings, not sure what you mean by 50/50 https://www.zoom-na.com/sites/default/files/products/downloads/pdfs/E_B1on_B1Xon_FX-list_100.pdf

just set up my Zoom B1on with 4 Ac Bs pre stacked, all set to 9 on Depth 50 on gain, level on 100 everything else on 0, took off the speaker grill, made no difference at all to speaker travel, more snake oil? or am I missing something?

sometimes people are got rid of because they've lined up someone else, ask Pete Best

you could try 105's as your E string, they'll be a tighter tension, I've never had this trouble but mines a MIA with high mass bridge and grooves for the string

I asked the same thing when I accidently duplicated a post

there's always 2 sides to every story, bass player I know got the sack, bitterly complaining the others are taking it too seriously, it's only a hobby, fair enough, I talked to a another guy out of the band he said the bass player never practiced at home they spent all the practices reteaching him the parts, I saw them live a couple of times the bassist always sounded ok to me, I suspect the truth was somewhere in the middle it usually is

Oi, we finish our set with a Sid inspired My Way, always goes down a storm, but you're right the Beatles were punky in their leather clad early Hamburg days, but it was Hamburg that taught them to play. It could be argued that Stu Sutcliffe was a worse bass player than Sid

one man's meat and all that, I sold a Stingray, nothing wrong with it just not my thing, I sort of told a porky, said I was joining a Clash tribute and needed a Precision which was half true, I just wanted a Precision, still got it, gas has disappeared, thankfully, but I do think it's over the top to say "best bass I've ever played but need to thin the herd" well sell one of the others then!

the story goes that JJ tried hundreds of basses trying to get 'the sound' of that Green P and failed, a complete fluke, presumably it was the fault in the wood that gave it that sound

but it was never the same, is that right?

£200? the price of a Squier Affinity?

I think the innovator bit was tongue in cheek, and yes he was chosen more for his image than musical ability (the same as Paul Simonon was originally), but I think he could play rudimentary bass as upside downer says, the story that he only had 6 weeks to learn bass (which may have been true, or at least to learn the Sex Pistols songs)) and failed miserably was another McClaren publicity stunt

cheapest option is the B1on

this one works for me https://reverb.com/item/2381439-reverb-clip-on-tuner-uk-exclusive?utm_campaign=uktuner you have to put uktuner in the code box to get it for £2 the trick is not to pluck the strings too hard, bit odd I know when it works on vibrations (Ithink), trouble with clip on tuners is they don't work very well in a noisy environment, well mine don't anyway

I've still got mine from last time, still works perfectly with the original battery, I've ordered 2 more

old thread revival alert, 39 years ago today Sid played the drugs once too often, and I was watching John Lydon on needle time this very morning (recorded) had some nice things to say about Steve Jones and Paul Cook's playing, confirmed Glen Matlock liked pop a bit too much and didn't get the irony on his lyrics (and Steve Jones didn't know what they were). Back to Sid, I don't think he was as bad as the publicity made him out to be, just played root notes but that's what Steve Jones played on most of the Pistols songs after Matlock got the sack, McClaren also made a big thing of the fact that none of them could play, which is obviously not true.

anybody know how you hide/delete duplicate posts?

cheers, good find, that's really useful

https://www.fishman.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Platinum-Pro-EQ-User-Guide.pdf Low Cut: a variable high-pass filter, labeled low cut, I assume that means depth of cut and the not frequency it cuts from, in which case I wonder what that is

forgive me for asking, how do you know the depth parameter is a HPF, once again sorry if there's already been a reason given, just can't find it

well they're light gauge, the others are 40 - 100 so it makes sense

didn't know that, where is it and is it on the B1on, sorry if I've missed something

very punk rock
