  1. I used to administrate the IT systems for an airport.
  2. Not if the software is EOL or out of support with the vendor you wouldn't. Security risks come into the scope here too. Rolling back doesn't always help, and the rollback for this would be too slow - working on this issues in a live environment with proper user load is more useful.

  4. It isn't exactly Access97 is it ? It is complex in terms of multiple dependencies and this is a move of both software version and hosting platform.
  5. You missed my point. No complex IT systems work 100% upon deployment. This is my day job.
  6. Please feel free to setup your own forum. It is quite normal for platforms to need replacing and there are always issues on go live even with UAT correctly carried out. It is not possible to carry out a test on the system with userload in place. Bear in mind this website is free to use, and not free to run.
  7. The sidebar was close-able on the old site and stored in cookie settings.
  8. I have a range of instruments that fit particular niches and don't think there is any one that could do them all, I also like the range of different styles of instrument, i'd get bored of playing the same thing all the time.
  9. [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1509374241' post='3398397'] And yet we see oodles of posts drooling over the visual appeal of such-and-such a bass..! 'Wow; that's gorgeous..!' 'Great finish..!' 'Such luscious figuring on the neck..!'. One is allowed to compliment an object on its appearance, but not a person..? How about cuddly kittens..? Is that 'over the top', too..? Hmm... [/quote] This is a logical fallacy.
  10. [quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1508845805' post='3394785'] That looks very nice Very nice indeed. EDIT: What's the nut width on this bass? [/quote] [list] [*][font=SourceSansPro-Bold][size=4] Nut Width[/size][/font][size=4] 1.5" (38.1 mm)[/size] [/list][size=4] It was on the link he posted.[/size]
  11. £375 You should all know the score here. The 'swiss army knife' of basses and Leo Fender himself stated that they are "the finest instruments I have ever made." This is a 2013 model in 9/10 condition. The pickups are tres powerful and I usually run it on passive mode. But drop the master volume a little and the preamp is very usable. Review here: http://www.bassguita...l-2000-tribute/ No trades please, I've got too many basses ! Collected from Solihull area (J4, M42) or delivered within 45 mins drive. Actual instrument: [attachment=256119:L2000.jpg] Stock photo, they all look the same from the neck up anyway.
  12. It's quite different from the J's I've had before. It's a lot snappier and the neck is wonderful. I can't decide on whether i'll fit the neck pickup cover or not yet.
  13. Like all the best purchases, this was on a whim. I had Saturday to myself and a moderate GAS itch. I popped to GuitarGuitar Birmingham and they had a superb collection of Fender Js. I had been lusting after a 4 string Jazz for a couple of weeks after selling my Lakland 55-60 a few months ago, but wanting a 4 string replacement as my Bongo is the ultimate 5 string for me. On the hooks was a rather snazzy looking natural ash Jazz with maple neck and blocked inlays. I love the Marcus Miller look (apart from the extended pickguard) so this looked very appealing. I asked to demo this along with a standard MIM (CAR, maple neck) for comparison. The setup on the Deluxe was a little disappointing, pickups and action too high so it was hard to get stuck in. The Standard was a lot better, so I asked for a few tweaks to make the Deluxe playable which the shop were happy to oblige in a few minutes. After this - everything fell into place, the preamp was not overly powerful and quite usable at it's extremes (unlike the crazy Bongo preamp). I was getting instant classic tones from every pickup combo and I rather quickly was smitten. Took it home after did final tweak setup (damn those imperial sized bridge screws !) but now it is [b]perfect[/b]. Sorry for the library image:
  14. I have this with my B3. Seems to colour the tone a lot even with no patches enabled. My L-2000 sounds like a different instrument entirely through my TC combo. Less obvious with other basses oddly.
  15. I've been told the refund has gone through and should be in my bank in a few days. It's strange as when I paid the money was taken immediately. funny world.
  16. [quote name='mr4stringz' timestamp='1507794767' post='3387943'] If they still haven't refunded you contact your card issuer. Whether credit card or debit card you have chargeback rights regardless; effectively your bank would contact the merchant's bank under chargeback rules to obtain refund of the sum due to goods not being delivered. Hope that helps. [/quote] Just had a look at the process. It could take weeks to get any response from that but it's a good backup cheers.
