[quote name='ficelles' timestamp='1319981035' post='1420740'] Is it just me? New "vanilla" W7 + IE9 installion... [/quote] FWIW it's fine for me in both IE & Chrome / Iron...

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1319973461' post='1420610'] And the number of watts claimed by the manufacturer may not be wholly accurate. [/quote] This.

In any event, I'm not 100% convinced the new breed of 700w / 900w-ish micro heads actually ARE 700w or 900w...

THE bass player's bass player, IMO. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7pOpokFYgk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7pOpokFYgk[/url]

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1319719153' post='1417672'] The URL I have been using is the one YT gives me when I click on Share. Is that not what you get when you do the same, or how do you get at the "watch" URL? [/quote] Just copy the one out of the address bar - that's the usual one. i don't know what the logic is with the 'share' URL...

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1319706151' post='1417382']Quite frankly this new forum is totally broke for certain browsers, IE8, and Opera Mobile are the ones I use [/quote] Out of interest, what specific issues are you having on IE8?

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1319706151' post='1417382'] I get the same thing as you only sometimes it does work..... most of the time it doesn't.[/quote] To be fair, as mentioned above he isn't using a standard YouTube URL.

Personally I think you're being too forgiving, Gareth. I'd be pushing for answers. If what you say is true (and I have no reason to doubt it is), you've been mucked around. S&T have a lot of explaining to do. Yes, your contract is with the retailer, but if you get no joy you have every right to take it along the chain to EBMM. Legally they don't have to deal with you, but in the interests of maintaining good customer relations they should be bending S&T's ear trying to find out what happened, and put a stop to it if they've been doing something they shouldn't.

This is the link you should be using: [CODE] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-6KoGaGVr0 [/CODE] I don't know what this [i]youtu.be[/i] shortened URL thing is... where are getting the link from?

I may be wrong, but I think the OP is referring to the placement of the ad. It does sound a bit odd...

Howdy everyone I've started working with another band, and we got together last night to jam on some tunes acoustically. As ever, the Promethean was a little star. I recorded it all so I thought I'd post a clip here. It's a tentative performance, but I hope it gives an idea of how nice this little box is. http://soundcloud.com/wateroftyne/ibanez-promethean-combo

...and FWIW, it's flying along for me now, and has done for a while. Thanks, Ped & Co! much appreciated.

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1319635243' post='1416676'] Eeeeeer...how do I embed YouTube vids now? There used to be a pinned item but I cannot see that, nor immediately find it here (I don't really have time to go through the 23 pages & 450+ posts [/quote] Just paste the whole link in - the magic pixies do the rest.

Actually, looking at the pic below, the logo is in front of one of the ports. Will that not interfere with the airflow?

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1319570611' post='1416005'] Boutique and VERY professional in style... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/152456-ead-extended-audio-design/"]http://basschat.co.u...d-audio-design/[/url] [/quote] Style-wise this isn't my bag at all. The logo is overpowering and horrid. Not that it really matters, as I'm sure they're incredibly well-built and sound great. it just shows we all have different taste.

[quote name='q_of_doom' timestamp='1319531710' post='1415143'] Thanks for the encouragement! The work shouldn't be visible since it'll be smoothed over and refinished in solid white. I'll go the relic'ing route as I've done with my P-bass to make the body match the neck so you might see the different woods in the bits where the paint is chipped, but I don't foresee it being too much of a problem. Time will tell. [/quote] Blonde is slightly translucent...? Good call re: the relic route. That's the way I would go, too...

[quote name='muddyman' timestamp='1319554025' post='1415700'] Thanks. Much like the suggestion from Winterfire666... any suggestions? [/quote] Why were you initially thinking 'Combo'? Size? Weight? Simplicity? Combos, by nature, are geared towards compactness, and the ones that aren't can be unwieldy. The Mesa Scout, for example, is small, but it's a PITA to carry around. if you went seperates, There's any number of small but powerful heads out there that will do the job depending on your tastes. The Genz Streamliner works for me, but it's all down to your preference.

I'd be tempted to go with a head & cab...

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1319540534' post='1415330'] Now, that approach is too wimpy for me... [/quote] BUT.. I'll bet he can whack them if it's called for...

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1319534373' post='1415187'] I've played in a couple of bands with electronic drum kits and its a total revalation being able to set the overall volume of the band to what ever level you like [/quote] It's even better playing with a drummer who can play an acoustic kit quietly...

Excellent! I'm looking forward to seeing the end result. I'd love to find something like this and restore it. Do you think the repairs to the body will be visible through the finish..?

Yip, bands generally play to loud. Unless it suits the genre, turn it down!

I like drummers who hit cymbals to make a point. The ones that go SMASH CRASH SPLASH SPLASH RING A DING DING SMASH do my head in. It's exhausting to listen to.

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1319358343' post='1412920'] This bass is now on its way to me The guys took it apart for me and photographed every single part of it they could use to reassure me of its authenticity (neck stamp, neck pocket pickups, pots etc.). As already noted, the pickup adjustment screws are not original, and I assume the pots were replaced at some point many years ago with some square jobs made by Bourn, so I will be looking to correct that over time, but I figured a first production year fretless was too good to turn down... Oh, and the neck stamp is December 1970. [/quote] Excellent! More pics when it arrives, please.

I've seen a couple of Brandoni bodies and they looked very nice.
