[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1364307908' post='2024599'] Genuine question - do these things work reasonably well? I ask because I've thought about getting one but every rehearsal session I've heard by various people using a variety of devices from smartphones to camcorders have been over-recorded and severely distorted. Fine for taking audio notes of a jam session or rough song ideas, but pretty much useless for anything else. I hasten to add that I've never heard anything from these Zoom devices and I suspect they are rather better, hence my question. [/quote] They're far better. Placement is important, as is setting the gain (usually LO on my H2), but it copes very well at high volumes.

The Bass Doc. HE DA MAN.

One of the Zooms - I use the H2 with great results... about £80 used, I think?

Ah, sorry. There's been a few threads about the ads and I thought this was one of the the generic ones. I can see how you took it as a dig at you.

[quote name='Monckyman' timestamp='1364291558' post='2024295'] Very mature. And inaccurate. Get a grip eh? [/quote] It wasn't aimed at you - sorry for not being clear. It was just a mischievous amalgamation of what the mods have been dealing with for the last few weeks.

Personally, I don't mind tasteful relic'ing, but it looks wrong on basses that can't be old enough to warrant it (Sandbergs, for example).

Pino's the man, like. He's a joy to listen to. Not so fussed on the 80s fretless stuff - it gives me nightmares based around white socks, flecccy trousers, slip-on shoes and pushed-up jacket sleeves. P with flats... yum.

I think you're thinking of the American Deluxe QMT / FMT.

I'M SO ANNOYED! I POSTED AN AD FOR SOMETHING ON THIS SITE, WOT IVE BEEN USING FOR FREE FOR YEARS. AND BECAUSE I REFUSED TO PAY MY AD HAS BEEN DELETED AND THE MODS DIDNT GO TO THE EFFORT TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT I COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO READ. AND NOW IM GOING 2 RANT ABOUT IT WITHOUT SEEKING AN EXPLANATION FIRST. I'M CONSIDERING LEAVING BC BECAUSE OF THIS!!!!!

No. Me too. In fact, I'm going to post one myself.

Hello powers-that-be! Is there something odd going on with notifications tonight? I've been missing out of a few (and they're not in my junk mail), and I've just had a random one notifying me of a reply to a thread called '2'. The thread it's linking to is actually called something else, and it hasn't had any replies since August 2012...? Ta!

Anyone who pays fifteen quid for this slice of tat should be hunted down, tarred and feathered.

[quote name='Anders' timestamp='1364085333' post='2021875']Is that tolex similar to Trace Elliot's maybe? [/quote] It's some sort of carbon fibre, I think.

Have you done a factory reset? Hold down all 3 preset buttons when you switch the amp on. You never know....

Helloooooooo! I reckon Jim Bergantino rules the roost when it comes to build quality.

Just in case anyone is considering it... It's worth mentioning that as good as DR Bass cabs may be, ordering anything from them these days is the equivalent of giving your money to some random bloke on the street.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1363944930' post='2019800'] I'm definitly in a minority, thought the 900 was horrible, not one useable sound with a P or J through a Compact. Not a patch on my LMII or even the Tiny Terror at the time. Played with all sorts of Vol/Gain/Master combo's, EQ etc. Nothing. But yes, I'm the 1% here Si [/quote] 2%.Mind you, it was better than the RH450 which, had I been able to afford to do so, I would have happily smashed to pieces with a hammer and then repeatedly driven my car over. I guess we're just not for these times, Si...

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1363940697' post='2019720'] Ah... that brings back memories! Which bar was it? [/quote] It's called Ernest, in Ouseburn / Shieldfield. Nice bar! We got a couple of 'proper' gigs out of it, so it was worth doing. But to backtrack to some earlier comments - if you do original stuff, and you're starting from scratch, you have to do dodgy gigs like this. It's part of the game.

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1363908576' post='2019558'] I agree with that but what if they have a harmonised line, say, played by 2 guitars and bass? Surely they couldn't do that just by ooh that sounds nice? [/quote] If you know what sounds nice, then yes you can.

Dirty Life and Times - Warren Zevon Shakey - Nell Young Even if you're not a fan of either, the books are riveting.

Disclaimer: I have no idea where the thread went after the intial chat about gaps under the frets. But... I really hope BC isn't being bullied into removing stuff. That would be very disappointing.
