Great news mate!

I think you've pretty much made up your mind on the subject already. Might as well go for it.

Good luck mate. Just take whatever bass feels best and you'll want to roll back on the tone, and have plenty of lows and low mids.

This is my latest rig update: Ooh exciting. It is on the heavy side though.

Great to deal with, really helpful. Thanks EH.

Yeah it's a shame you can't get decent black strings.

I always got the impression that a variax could do a lot of sounds and was great if you needed versatility but for me I only need 1 or 2 really good sounds so it's not something i'm interested in.

When people just take the opportunity to loot shops, that's not a revolution, it's something else. The "poor" in this country are still living in substantially better conditions than a lot of people in many other countries. But we've grown too accustomed to a "good life" and there seems to be a general sense of entitlement to things without putting the effort to earn them. Yes, I agree, the banking issues etc are a disgrace. But in no way any sane person living in this country can see that as a justification to go out, rob, and destroy. The question is, what is everyone else going to do about it? Precious little nothing, it seems [/quote] +1. This is not some sort of revolution, it's just a bunch of pathetic chavs who want to nick stuff and generally cause disorder. These people are pathetic. They need to be stopped some time or another. I just don't even know what else to say. Countless shops and businesses and liveliehoods have been ruined by these pathetic little sad twats who just don't give a sh*t about anyone else but themselves.

You say image is essential- maybe you ought to sort out your own personal image to people who may potentially want you in their band.

looks pretty yummy so far.

Not to mention it looks epic, which let's face it is the only thing most people give a sh*t about lol. It looks like it's laughing in the face of all the inferior PA speakers.

When you say the "hump" you mean the neck volute right? Well it's looking pretty good now, still a bit of sanding work to be done to get it really smooth but looking good so far.

vvniiice.

Looks really great.

No-one else wanted to.

*compressor.

'once we did a gig and there weren't many people there'.. oh well.[/quote] I know what you mean, i think almost all bands that have actually worked from the bottom up have experienced shows where no-one turned up. I went to one in may (it was run, WALK! actually)- there were more people in the other bands in the audience then the audience itself.

[quote name='neepheid' post='1328650' date='Aug 5 2011, 01:03 PM']I'm sure it's lovely if everything's the same. I'm just bitter because I've been sold cosmo black stuff on the basis that it's proper black before and got an unpleasant surprise [/quote] That's a shame. I remember the WD music website at least does state under it's gotoh hardware page that it is not actually black hardware.
