40 grit is perfect for hammering through laquer though. No one in their right mind, after looking at the stuff, would put in on any wood. G

There is the jazz project: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=17"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=17[/url] I used mostly 60 grit but also had some 40 grit (i found it lasted half as long as a bit of 60) Good luck G

Nice one man, removing the finnish is a bitch. You have not got to the horns so you dont know the half of it yet. It is rewarding so keep at it. One word of warning, if you are tired give up for the day. You will do more damage than good. My GF is at grays look like the finnish is gonna awesome G

I remember every bass you have gone through man Good times G

John Mayer is your best mate!? I have a herbie hancock cd he does a track on and its stunning! G

[quote]I used to have a Tobias - it was a great little bass, light, fast, funky, with a Darth Vader hologram sticker (May the Funk be with you). I sold it to buy my Warwick, but do miss it at times (sigh...) Very nice gear Garry - just read the build diary on the Jazz, and as I've just sanded my floors I can relate to the volumes of sandpaper! The Jazz looks great, more food for thought...[/quote] Cheers man, I made a fatal mistake defretting that bass. One day ill refret it and get a john east in it to beef it up. [quote]Hi Garry nice gear. How are you finding the apple for recording and how many tracks can you record simultaneoulsy with that set up? Could you do a live band? Steve[/quote] The apple is awesome. Never really lets me down. A few little "thinking pauses" now an then (like monthly) but its a solid, fast, reliable machine. With the addition of the new preamps i have i can record 8. I could do 16 simultaneously with something like the behringer ada8000 that gives me another 8 through adat. So, yep, i could do a full band. G

Nice one. What a brilliant thread. Got a new project that would be cool to post up about. As max says, this is the beginning of a long and painfull journey or spending. After the FMR (which is awesome) you will startlusting for an 1176 (dont google it, you will want one) and then onwards. Keep the updates coming G

Sorry man, ill shift that other strings thread. G

we never intended to mess things up. Like we said, it cannot be done offline so we are experimenting still. G

The elixier lights are good. The retain their zing for tha bit longer too. G

I work in a practice room/studio. A wee marsal stack, a wee fender stack and a B series ampeg stack keep everyone happy. Drum kit wise pearl exports are ok and very easy to get spares for. Pa - JBL and Soundcraft spirit powered desks. They NEVER fail. Mics - Bite the bullet and get 58's anything else will fall apart in no time. They may be 3 times the price but last 5 times as long. G

I prefer the old one too i think..... Bit black and white for me. G

Stuart Clayton, Dave Marks, Urb and Lenny B i think write for BGM G

If your serious about the band you will [i]make[/i] time for it as well as the job. G

[quote]3) There are still going to be loads of false positives which get in the way of communication and cause other problems. When the filter mangled my posting in the 'Wanted' forum, changing 'bass' to 'be*ss' , I shut down my system and changed my keyboard, thinking mine had somehow developed a fault. Call me selfish, but this is at least as inconvenient to me as someone else being denied access at work.[/quote] Do you not see the funny side of this?! Lighten up man. G

The Alesis ones are very good for the cash. You will not be dissapointed with tannoy's (the reveal range), teh Samson Resolv range. If it was me getting a set i would prob look at these: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KRK-RP8-Powered-Studio-Monitor-Speakers-Pair_W0QQitemZ300119668136QQihZ020QQcategoryZ23786QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KRK-RP8-Powered-Stud...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] They do cheaper models too but the chat on the garpevine is that they are awesome. I would recomend getting active ones as its less to worry about (power amps etc...) and one less potential problem when trouble shooting. G

Thank you very much for that. What a brilliant interview. G

Pm i just got from user: [quote]Hi Garry I presume I'm the one referred to in your post about the profanity filter - [quote] At the end of the day, this came about as a request from a user to me as he is unable to access certain pages due to these words being flagged up on his works computer. We are helping a user out (i suspect a handful actually) so i dont see why its got such a bad reaction... G[/quote] I wasn't referring to just myself, I mentioned that it would effect anyone in that position. Although I'm allowed to use my company workstation to access the internet in my down time, I dare not use it to browse Basschat. I work for a large company, whose content filter will not only scan the page before deciding to display it, but if the page content triggers the filter, then it locks the website out of the system for good. So the carelessly chosen words of an immature or angry poster will indirectly restrict access to the forum by its members. As someone who quite often works a 96 hour week - that's a lot of access to loose! I was locked out of Bassworld at work for over 2 years which is the primary reason I didn't contribute much to that site. Since I noticed the sudden increase of sexual swear words on Basschat I've bought a laptop and take that into work to connect through a freephone dial-up account - which can be very tedious when viewing the bass porn section! Like you, I can't understand why some people in particular are being so vociferous and argumentative about a simple filter - which has worked on TalkBass for quite some time with no problems. I don't consider a profanity filter censorship - that's really about the removal and withholding of information from the public by a controlling body. Although people might rant about their right of expression, and being allowed to use sexual swear words "if appropriate" - (whenever that might be?) - they are not having their opinion or information censored - they are having their language moderated. Moderate on, and apologies if my humble request has created discord! (which I think is a root and flattened fifth?) Cheers [/quote]
