Count Bassy

FM radio is not really a good comaprison. The incoming radio signal is still a sine wave, but with the frquency constantly changing. This is then converted to an an audio frequency analogue signal, without (necessarily) a digital stage - it is never converted to and an on/off signal, whereas the output of a class D amp, or a PWM motor drive is. (When I say output I mean the output from the switching devices) Most modern motor drives have DSP controllers anyway. I really don't now if the Class D amps are DSP controlled or analogue.

Well, yes it does - doubly digital! But seriously, unless it's a dimmer, then it is, to my mind at least, a digital device!

For me Joe Cocker, mainly because I always thought I'd get to see hime live one day.

Is it "going under", or is he just retiring?

Ah, that old chestnut again. I disagree with this because the output from the power amplifier side, in it's raw state is either on or off, hence digital, even if the cotrolling mechanism is analogue.

Not forgetting Class H, which switches to a higher power rail voltage when the demand calls for it. (thus reduces heat dissipation at lower output levels)

Personally, and it is very much personal preference, I'd leave the cab alone. I like the black metal grill look.

Surely if the body of the guitar is vibrating then the pickup will be vibrating with it, and this will be added into the movement between the pickup and the string. Pretty neigible though I'd have thought.

Wash your mouth out with Scott Devine's soap!

I'd have thought it likely that Flea plays the bass line slightly differently each time anyway.

SHould have guessed as much. Makes me really glad that I rubbed it with raw bacon on a regular basis.

Surely the question with The Smiths is how they cracked it anywhere, rather than why they didn't crack the US?

What's happened to my Avatar?

Family: They did go once but rumour has it that Roger Chapman threw a mike stand at the promoter (Billy Graham).

You can get drugs for that!

I remember it well (Well, as well as I can I my age).

Come on, you don't expect me to read every post do you? 🙂 Must need the cash badly if he's happy to pay CC their cut.

Perhaps you'd prefer some cake?

I am amazed that anyone who legitimately owned any of those basses would consider selling to/through cash converters.

You might have warned us about the drum solo!!!!

Just that the stretches are much easier on the 32", especially if "Double stopping". Eg trying to play a classic twelve bar thing up at the 12th fret (ie playing the guitar part) - I can do it on a32", but really struggle on a 34 inch, but everything is jsut that bit easier wherever you are on the neck.

IMHO being old probably does make it vintage, but being vintage doesn't in itself make it good though.

Personally I find a very noticable difference between 32 & 34", much more that I expected. String wise D'addario, Warwick, Newtone, and I thing Rotosound make Medium scale strings, and I'm sure there are many others.
