  1. [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1387464256' post='2312268'] GAS is an extremely cruel mistress, but she must obeyed in order to avoid having an aneurism (at least that's my excuse). What are you gassing for? [/quote] I'm quite open, to be honest. I fancy an nice old maple-necked P (I miss my old '72). Maybe.. GASP... something Oly white. Or maybe... GASP... a PJ. Or, EVEN BIGGER GASP... something not Fender. I dunno, but that's half the fun, isn't it?
  2. Yeah - you're absolutely right. Truth is, I have a three-bass limit. My 71P's can't go anywhere - it's enshrined in my constitution. So the RB stands between me and that terrible affliction known as GAS. At the moment, GAS is winning.
  3. It's back up for sale. Here's a vid of me using it last week... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRZt8AeR974
  4. Dark Lord - before you go, would you answer my earlier question, please? I think it's important to put your views into context. Thank you. [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1387386788' post='2311417'] Dark Lord - have you seen / used any of the current range of cabs? [/quote]
  5. David Crosby's 1971 solo album 'If I Coild Only Remember My Name' is beautifully recorded. Also, a lot of Buddy Holly's stuff sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday.
  6. I just wish they'd add more colours. That 'burst is... meh.
  7. Dark Lord - have you seen / used any of the current range of cabs?
  8. I'd like to give one a run out, too...
  9. I feel your pain. There's no reason a band needs to be stupidly loud unless it's SUNN O))) or something like that. The thing is, if they tried playing at a reasonable volume, they'd probably like it. Strangely, most of the bands I play in that suffer from this problem do it because they're all deaf. Because they play too loud.
  10. Yep, as far as I'm aware...
  11. Cheers, folks :-)
  12. Couple of seconds on Google... [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/wonga"]http://www.youtube.com/user/wonga[/url]
  13. [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1387159098' post='2308918'] It's far easier to look at 1 thread containing 500 posts about XYZ, than to try and track down 500 threads. It's not rocket science. [/quote] Yup. I think some people need to lighten up and understand the word 'club' doesn't mean funny handshakes and all that.
  14. Doesn't bother me - it makes perfect sense. You're interested in [i]XYZ[/i] amp? Head off over to the [i]XYZ[/i] owners' club and fill your boots. That's all there is to it.
  15. Hey gang Here's a clip from Friday night's gig... [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial][size=3]http://youtu.be/zRZt8AeR974[/size][/font][/color]
  16. The Fender Jazz is an iconic instrument. Which means that on a bass forum, you're going to get people who are - in varying degrees - interested in its origins and evolution. And especially when it comes to fairly controversial elements, like Herbie's bass. You're also going to get people who don't give a monkeys. And that's fine. Good on Herbie for letting someone try his bass, btw.
  17. [quote name='great harry' timestamp='1387137026' post='2308586'] This forum should be renamed anorak chat. I have just been reading the first couple of posts and amazed how quickly an awesome gesture by a liviing legend to a young lad just starting out on his musical journey has been reduced to a slanging match over the exact date and status of an equally legendary instrument. Btw that's the longest sentence I have ever written. [/quote] It's called 'Basschat'. Most people are here because they're into basses more than the average Joe on the street.
  18. I haven't watched this yet, but I will. And Steve Ferrone is the icing on the cake. http://bcove.me/u724s45k
  19. [quote name='leroydiamond' timestamp='1386977582' post='2307239'] £1599?. At that price it needs to slaughter the Class D competition. [/quote] Using a different module to the ICEpower thing virtually every other Class D uses will be a good start.
  20. [quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1387030195' post='2307580'] Another +1 for the Thomastick flats. Bear in mind that these are one of the lowest tension flats out there. This puts a lot of people off of them. AFAIK, the Labellas are at the other end of the tension spectrum. [/quote] That'd be the Chromes. The La Bellas are sort-of medium.
  21. I'm not sure they exist any more. The website was offline last time I checked...
  22. The buffered J pup is pretty characteristic. I don't know how easy it is to replicate...
  23. I binned tweeters a while ago when I got my TKS112s. The driver deals with the highs now, and it's a beautiful roll-off.
  24. [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1386967484' post='2307070'] Hmmmm not on the Autistic spectrum at all then? [/quote] Oh - and feet and handles. (but the badge is WORST OF ALL!)
  25. [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1386965372' post='2307037'] Vertical config... tip it on it's side you mean. [size=4] [/size] [/quote] But... But.... The badge will be WONKY!!
