One of his (many) regular lines is that Leo Fender didn't know how to design speakers and that guitar drivers should be stacked vertically. But go to his site and look at the guitar cab design that he is flogging for 15 dollars.[/quote] Well I've got my guitar cab and i used to have my bass cab on the side as well. Not really a problem. Also Alex Claber who is definetely an expert in speaker cabinet design concurs with stacking 2x10s vertically. Someone has already posted the link to his website.

Even the singer noted "you are one of the best bassists I've seen, but you are also the most inconsistent".... In terms of pulling it off and not that is. I'm putting in the hours of practice and I've played a tonn of gigs but he is right. Sometimes I'm just sh*t, and sometimes I feel like I'm making it intentionally hard for myself. I wish I could turn up and play roots and fithes with a pick and a bit of distortion, but it's not interesting enough for me at all and I'll just give up playing. I know I can get it right on the night sometimes but not often enough and it's making me rather depressed and since coming home from the studio I've not even bothered setting up my gear again. Have I faced an inconvenient truth, and give up to start spanking the tiny sixers again? How can I recapture the magic and be content with my abilities. ? I don't know what is wrong with me.[/quote] This is how i felt about drumming in a band. I seemed to nail it some days and was crap on others. It's one of those things, i think really it just needs practice so you can be epic on some days and acceptable on the bad days. It's something i could never do though, that's probably not encouraging lol. Doesn't mean you should hang up your bass though, I just tend to leave things half finished in general.

If it is I shan't tell my guitarist, he spent a fortune on it. [/quote] He can just stick it on it's side.

I think, though, that my SM58 isn't as good as the one our singer uses. No idea why that would be.[/quote] It's probably because your singer's voice suits the mic better.

Looks really nice. It's a shame that you can't trust the seller. These basses are more of an investment than for actually being played; like a piece of fine art. You may be able to find a picture that has been painted just as well but if it's not by a famous artist of great provenance then it's not worth nearly as much.

I thought ben harper was the bloke off my family?

I watched it, thought it was great.

Have you tried e-mailing the company?

We want to see these "more photos"! Looks nice

Might as well get long strings. You can always cut down strings that are too long but once they're too short then you can't make them longer again.

Looks great. You would never guess it was a squire.

[quote name='fatboyslimfast' post='1312469' date='Jul 22 2011, 10:42 AM']Right, I was having a bit of issue with my Squier P neckdiving. It's probably a combination of the lightish body, the cheapy nylon strap I'm using, and the work shirt I'm wearing (it's my lunchtime practice time!). Rather than go and spend £20 on a new strap to see if it would cure it, I invented a quick, cheap and effective solution. Even if it does look a bit pants. I got hold of one of those fabric/foam mousemats that normally cost less than a quid from a supermarket, cut a 3" strip from it and cut two slots 1" from the top and bottom, big enough to slot the strap through, but far away from the edge of the strip so it doesn't tear. Result: Slightly odd look, but no neckdive and costs peanuts. Enough left on the original mat for another too... [/quote] If you want a more permanent solution then get a leather strap. It does basically the same thing. They can be bought for cheaper than £20.

Looks sparkly.

I didn't realise they were a steampunk band before...
