Definitely an improvement this issue, but I still feel there's too much emphasis on expensive custom gear. The Avella Coppollo had a price of £4.5k - how many bassists do you know who can and would spend that much on a bass ? I bet there aren't many bassists in the UK with one, i'd hazard a guess at it being less than the number of fingers and toes I have. In order to try and avoid alienating the average bassist I think there is more requirement for run-of-the mill gear, even if this can be easily self-reviewed by popping down to your local Guitars'R'Us, sometimes people want an informed opinion without having to discuss the tonal nuances of spalted Rhodesian cocopop wood versus flamed Bolivian UmBongo™ laminates.

Yeah - that part was still in draft but somehow got published ! Don't expect it to stand in it's current somewhat authoritarian state.

There isn't a review yet .

Had to remove that attachment due to it being under copyright of BGM - sorry guys. FWIW the section doesn't tell you anymore than the Barefaced website does .

That must be Shuker's first big name then ? By that I don't mean someone successful, but a big name in music at the moment rather than a few years ago . Looks pretty nice, although of course lacking in innovation !

PM sent to you BBC !

I went past WHSmith without looking as well, pah ! Will pick up a copy when I can.

The system default was 10 - we never got around to modifying it in the admin panel .

Chris Bates ? He is fantastic, he's their sales director but is still on the frontline and getting stuck into things.

Hmm, that seems to work actually ! Brian May is a fantastic bassist and has been an example to me for many years now.

I love the sound of old school Fenders on classic tracks, I've got a Jazz which gets close enough for me and i'm probably going to get some flats for this cheapie Hohner P Bass my Dad gave me. That said - they don't suit everything ! My Warwick is not going to lose first place in the pecking order in my metal band.

Are we overlooking the variable that is which valve you put into the preamp ? I've changed the valve in my ABM from a standard 12AX7 to a GT one (can't remember exact model) and it was very different.

My last bass was a Lakland 55-02. The Warwick Corvette I swapped it for is equal in terms of quality, maybe slighty better in some aspects but it was tone the difference I was after. I'm loving the more aggressive sound I get even if the neck is a bit of hard work !

Hey Matt, look forward to seeing it complete .

Wow - that sounds fantastic. I'm trying to get this old Hohner to sound like that .

I'm sure the spambots would opt not to PM the administrators and moderators groups for obvious reasons .

It is indeed to stop spambots, and the lesser of 2 evils for now. This is the interim solution until Invision release IP.Board 3.0.0. Please see [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=49705"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=49705[/url]

Ok patch has been applied (cheers phatmonkey !), it should mean that spamming members can not send mass PMs as easily. An upcoming update to the forum as a whole should limit it as much as possible. [quote]Upcoming IP.Board 3.0.0 IP.Board 3.0.0 contains this update already and new spam mitigation tools such as timed user group promotion. We are also exploring new centralized spam identification and banning services which we hope to have updates for you very soon![/quote]
