  1. I think this one does it better https://thebassgallery.com/products/wilcock-the-mullarkey-short-scale
  2. If only I had a grand Or Andy’s address and a crowbar
  3. Very gender biased Dad Again, experiment Nicko, depending on what voice you're going for, a pop filter (spoffle as Hugh Laurie apparently named them), can take a little bit of the air away from a voice as well. I guess like filtering, don't put something between the source and the desk unless it improves something
  4. Probably not a helpful post Nicko, but trial and error is the only way to work with mics, there are general principles but there are people, rooms and equipment that fall outside of them and you won't know whether yours do until you try. There is certainly comfort in believing that the set up that you're using should be correct for the parameters in question, and that's a good place to start, but that doesn't mean that it is. I've got four five decent vocal mics, on paper an SM7B really shouldn't be my first call for my own voice - in fact it should be the least suited to it - but as soon as I started using it about three months ago people who were listening to my suff said "voice sounds like you're in my head". Just worked for a whole load of reasons I won't pretend to understand
  5. Guys, with apologies, the guy I'm interviewing called me yesterday and said he can't download Loopback, turn out his Mac is a PC!!!! Any thoughts on equivalent options for a PC?

    Exactly, as per my point above it's not just about the courier's T&Cs, but about respect for the buyer. I can't believe the completely useless packaging that some gear I've bought has arrived in. Shops often send instruments in quite poor packaging - for example an acoustic guitar in just a box - but at least you're generally covered if it gets damaged, it's really no fun having to contact a member on this forum to say 'the bass/amp/cab is badly damaged and frankly it's not because the courier was crap - they're always going to drop things or put heavy boxes on top of fragile items - it's because you didn't take the time to pack it well with that in mind'
  7. Yep, I thought it was a shorty form the original vid, now I look at at in full length it screams neck dive and possibly a PITA to gig as the result. I wonder if that's why it never made even a short production run. In the photo above - curiously posed in front of two oil tanks - it reminds me a lot of a 3TSB Shergold Marathon I owned years ago. Sadly, now that I've made that connection, all I can see is a Shergold body with a Fender neck, and you know what, suddenly it looks all wrong
  8. Yep. Re some of the previous posts here and elsewhere, the maths might explain why you hear what you hear, but in my experience will rarely predict it with any reliability. Trial and error is the best bet, and the best place to start is the gear you already have, adding extra cabs will always make a difference, just not always the difference you want
  9. Ha, timing! Where is that available?
  10. I don’t think they come as any model
  11. Leave it alone until you actually need to do something, then take it to a luthier?
  12. Fair point, lovely playing and lovely tone either way
  13. Will your amp run happily at 6 ohms, I'm no tech but I remember a thread on here a while back about 6x10s which were rated at 6ohms and a few folks seemed to think that some amps simply won't do it. I might be wrong
  14. Amp, mic, processing. I doubt that being a Fender employee he set out to show it warts and all?
  15. Not really true, the margins on the smaller gear are better, they're cheaper to transport around the globe, and are often replaced more quickly, so they're what are being pushed at the marketplace by the manufacturers. People have a habit of buying what's being marketed to them. The market place never decides with new gear, the manufacturers decide. In fact, it's not the manufacturers who decide, its the accountants or consultants working for those manufacturers who decide. It's why, for example EBMM withdrew the US SUBs, Nike withdrew the Pegasus etc. They needed to control a market in which the the buyer appeared to be thriving, i.e., the products were that good they were hurting profits elsewhere, which is the last thing the companies in question want. You think music gear is any different to other consumer products, dream on.
  16. It's called an internet forum, and guess what, it reflects how people discuss these things in real life. You never had an opinion based on your experience or are you above it all?

    I do agree with that, I look at the way courier have to work these days and don't want anything vaguely valuable in their care, not unless it's sent by a shop who will take responsibility.
