    Fine in some genres, not in others
  2. Beedster
    Nice little vid piece from NAMM 2011

    It shouldn’t matter at all But it does

    I never struggle with the hand end of things, I do struggle with timing and feel i.e. the brain end. A song that comes to mind is Down On The Corner by CCR where the line is simple but the timing deceptively hard, or at least a lot harder than a cursory listen and play-through would suggest

    Describing this monster as a combo is like describing Live at Leeds as a gig, but both are technically correct! Selling because it's quite simply too big for the space I have, and I if I need big at gigs I use my Mesa rig. This to me is the dream unit for a studio where a classic but powerful all tube bass amp is needed, for a gigging player who doesn't mind humping around what is a pretty heavy unit (I keep the head in a separate case to reduce the weight), or for the home music room assuming you don't have neighbours...... Tone is glorious as you'd expect This is the head, I'll get the cab from the studio and post pics later today, it's equally retro and shiny Some further info https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2011/03/01/ashdown-introduces-drophead-dp-200-and-lb-30-combo-amps/ I have priced this very competitively - one sold on Reverb for over twice this a couple of years back - so there'll be no haggling please. It would also need to be collection from my place or meet up by arrangement 👍

    Yep, I'm sincerely hoping that my album band is going to do Rattus Norvegicus, and if so, I'm gonna play a Ric Only joking, but what I'd really hope to be able to do is to play the album in a way that the prog-esque technical and structural complexity comes through, as opposed to how I've seen Stranglers songs such as No More Heroes, Peaches etc played by many covers bands which more often than not makes them sound like Sham 69.

    My intonation is so poor I'm having a 68" scale built
  8. Beedster
    Yes, the shorter the scale the greater the impact on pitch if the same mms of incorrect finger placement
  9. Beedster
    Looks like a £300 amp to me
  10. Beedster
    This^ Thomann no doubt shift a whole lit more of those than PMT do. The economics of scale dictate price point. Buy it from Thomann

    Likewise Sean, I joined Basschat (or whatever it was called then) in around 2005, still can't play the bass but f*** me I've bought some lovely ones here

    Should we start the 'I'm Dave Crowley" "No, I'm Dave Crowley" thing
  13. Beedster
    There's an old saying 'No news is good news', although I suspect there are exceptions
  14. Beedster
    Yep

    Need to free up some space so £150 collected or £175 posted. Shame to be having to let it go so cheap but too many boxes and too little square footage
  16. Beedster
    Yep that was a surprising lesson, drummist turns down his electronic kit but it's still just as loud!
  17. Beedster
    That\s business, and in many respects it makes more sense than not supplying and in effect losing more money
  18. Beedster
    None of 'em, every one I sold allowed me to buy, play, and gig something new (or at least, something a bit different). Our guitarist plays different guitars at every rehearsal, I'm sure he can hear the difference......

    Oddly having just checked I'm getting emails for some PMs and not for others and it looks systematic, i.e., if I get an email for one message in the thread I seem to get an email for all messages in that thread, but vice versa also
  20. Beedster
    Might be my phone however 👍
  21. Beedster
    The red dot thing I mentioned a while back 👍
  22. Beedster
    I'm often not seeing a red dot with new PMs and realised this morning that unread PMs are no longer highlighted in black in the PM list as I'd missed some, might be something I've done but it seems to be getting worse rather than better?
  23. Beedster
    I've never found hope to be an especially effective strategy
  24. Beedster
    Is there a fix for this PM issue coming any time soon?
  25. Beedster
    I was in a band with a guy like that, middle if gig ‘Slap that bass Mr Bassman’. He got a look of complete indifference as I continued to play pizz as I had the whole gig. I didn’t offer my services again. All joking aside that, you’re not wrong mentioning risk of injury in picking up a new technique, anything from blisters to tendinitis, quite minor unless you’re an upright player 👍
