Ha... that would be a fair assumption.

IMO the only place you [b]should[/b] be able to buy them is in pubs for at £7.50 for sixteen tiny fags which are dry and crumbly and taste like they've been in the machine for ten years.

I've no doubt it's rife in the industry - it'll be interesting to see whether EBS is bucking the trend and being honest... or the amp actually has a 60w module.

Shamlessly C&P'd from AlexanderB over on TB: [quote] The swedish bass gear company EBS launching a new product - the Reidmar micro head. 125W RMS @ 8 Ohms 250W RMS @ 4 Ohms 3,2 kg Seems it will cost about €520 in Sweden. Not yet in their homepage, but is included in the 2011/12 catalogue I got yesterday. I have no affiliation with EBS. /Alexander [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/report.php?p=11552351"][/url] [/quote] I wonder if EBS were ever tempted to take the TC route and declare it as 800w, or something... (I'm joking, Kind-of).

Cuh.. typical Fender. Never offering people options. Just the same old boring Js and Ps...

Y'see, I'd leave it 'burst. I have visions of this.... Yum.

Go to the forum concerned, pop your search term in the box at the top-right, ensure the grey button says 'This forum' (if not, click it to select from a list), press return or click on the magnifying glass Shazam!

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1317215381' post='1388172'] Sorry Michael - didn't mean to imply that the vendor claimed it as "all original". He doesn't. I meant that the bass is far enough from "all original" that it will surely be of little/no interest to any serious collector. [/quote] No, no.. that wasn't aimed at you. I didn't read the ad properly - I thought they [i]were[/i] advertising it as all-original... hence my 'That's a bit cheeky' comment. I take it all back.

I can hear the haters sharpening their knives already: '[i]Boring old Fender.. never doing anything out of the ordinary![/i]', and '[i]Eeew... they look too weird![/i]'.

Nice! The front has faded just like my P - all the red has gone.

Lovely spec! I'm looking forward to seeing this one....

[quote name='Ashdown Engineering' timestamp='1317141831' post='1387304'] Happily build you a totally made in England MiBass but doubt on the whole people would want to pay the price difference, sadly that's what we are up against these days and to be honest after working with our china factory for 10 years now the quality of our Chinese made products is so good would you want to pay a large premium simply to have made in England on it? If you do want to buy British we still make plenty of high end totally made in Essex products and offer a total custom shop service too... [/quote] A different factory to the one that built the Superfly and the LG, then?

..and then try Chrome or Firefox. It'll take less than five minutes of your time.

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1317132685' post='1387136'] Internet Explorer 9 - no customized setup to block plugins or anything. Avast Antivirus - set to allow most things, skype, Window messenge, the lot except viruses, trojans, worms etc. look just typing that lot, I burned 12 minutes of my life waiting for the cursor to start blinking before I could type the next letter, honest! ... I'll just live with it as it is cause this is too tedious. [/quote] Try disabling AVAST! for a quick test. See if that makes any difference.

I used to love this site. Pure, filthy muck.

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1317129274' post='1387091'] I quite like just having the pop up but we're looking at the issue, it's now time to wait for [color=#ff0000]Invasion[/color] to get back to us with a fix. [/quote] Quoted to preserve freudian slip.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1317126049' post='1387003'] But, no one has come up with a reason why iPhone users are suffering with really poor text lagging. Based on the last few posts saying its got to be at our end i would assume its a compatibility issue with the forum software and Safari (on iPhone), couldn't this also cause issues on a PC with desktop browsers? [/quote] It could, but you would expect more people to be affected. As far as I'm aware the iPhone issue is affecting loads of people - lagging while typing on PCs is only a very small number.

Mr. Wazoo - there's no traffic / processing happening across 'tinternet when you type - only when selecting certain options from the toolbar above. Any lagginess you're getting while typing standard text is a local issue. Trying another browser and letting us know whether it's still a problem will be very useful to know.

Happening on November 12th & 13th. Nowt to do with me, but I thought it of interest to some... [url="http://www.gingermusiccompany.com/page.php?id=115"]Info here[/url].

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1317046434' post='1385889']Come on chaps. This is a server side load related intermittent issue. Give the guys a break, it will resolve when the migration is complete.[/quote] That's my point. Only a tiny percentage of the BC user base who have bothered to trawl through this thread know this. The rest just think it's slow and occasionally unusable. The key is to get out there and tell everyone to bear with it. The horse has bolted, though...

FWIW, it's hurtling along for me at the moment on laptop and iPhone (with the exception of laggy text input on the phone). As it seems to be related to the load on the DB, surely it would be easier to put something at the top of the page to say 'Please be patient while the new site completes the upgrade' or similar? I know I keep mentioning this, but it seems like a quick win - people are assured it's acknowledged and in-hand, and Ped & Co. stop getting nagged about the performance.
