[/quote] Nope UK import taxes and VAT I recently imported something from Musician's Friend and all UK VAT and import duty was prepaid. I was a little concerned at their lack of comms and posted a thread about it here. They hand the deal off to their International agents 'Borderfree' who actuallt ship it. It works - eventually.

I have a friend with a Status neck on a jazz i think i'll ask to borrow that for a session or two first. I am confident that I should be able to do it myself. I know I'll need to drill and countersink the neck fixing holes...<top gear> how hard can it be? </top gear> and mount the tuners I have assembled 2 Warmoths before now, it can't be that much more difficult.

I use a Zoom H1 in a mic stand in the middle of the room - It does an awesome job

I am curently gassing for another 'build'.....I am thinking a very lightweight P but this time with a Status neck. At the moment it is purely aesthetic - I have never played a Statud graphite neck. Tell me about them. What do they feel like? What kind of profile do they have? What kind of sound do they make? Am I completely bonkers?

my apostr'phe sems to be workin' again

[url="http://nypost.com/2013/11/11/gunman-three-others-dead-in-brooklyn-bloodshed/"]http://nypost.com/20...klyn-bloodshed/[/url] I can't imagine why they would have sacked such a level headed fellow. Edit: OH WOW! MY Apostrophe works again!!!!!!!!!!!! # now for some serious abuse.

so do i but i am not normally guilty of apostrophe abuse I just tried to type another and firefox refused - Not responding - had to crash close firefox then it gives me the how embarrassing dialogue before restoring basschat.....

When I try to type an apostrophe in a reply to a thread firefox hangs....is this the way things should be?

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1383915690' post='2270732'] I think how instruments feel is probably the most under-rated aspect of quality. [/quote] That is my number one criterion which is why I love my warmoth so much and leave my JV gathering dust

It seems that someone in my band has given an interview in the next issue The Big Takeover magazine. I confess to not having heard of this rag. I see it is a US based rag....anyone know anything about it? I assume it's no Rolling Stone. I am curious as to who got interviewed (nobody has fessed up yet) and what they might have said! I assume this is not our big break stateside? http://www.bigtakeover.com/news/big-takeover-73-ex-smiths-guitarist-johnny-marr-cover-about-to-ship-subscribers-update-your-address-asap

[quote name='sk8' timestamp='1383732984' post='2268190'] Anymore reports? [/quote] I was waiting until it disharges before writing a review but after 2 4 hour sessions it still has 2 of the 3 charge indicator lights lit.....could be longer than I thought.

[quote name='Si600' timestamp='1383666200' post='2267311'] is one better than a dynamic microphone? [/quote] that depends what you are using them for

[quote] On the Four Front M-Track Quad is equipped with four inputs that provide the best results with any type of audio source. Each offers an XLR input and a balanced 1/4" input. The XLR input is designed to work with microphones or other Lo-Z sources. The phantom power switch delivers 48V to the XLR inputs for use with professional condenser microphones.[size=5] [/size][b][size=5]The 1/4" input can be set to receive a line level signal,[/size] or switched to allow an electric guitar or bass to be plugged directly into the M-Track Quad.[/b] Individual gain knobs ensure the proper input level.[/quote] 1/4" to 1/4" will work fine

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1383593815' post='2266400'] Do yourselves a favour buy a Zoom H2 for recording rehearsals You dont need a desk you need to hear the sound you make in the room [/quote] I have a Zoom H1 for exactly that - stick it on mic stand in the middle of the room...it's amazing how many ideas would get lost if it wasn't for that

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1383583715' post='2266187'] Ah. In that case... [/quote] Absolutely - recording audio with a midi interface is going to need a miracle of some sort.... I've often seen folk on the Sonar forum complain that they've recorded their midi but can't hear anything.....never heard of anyone trying to record audio through a midi interface though.

[quote name='Si600' timestamp='1383578797' post='2266095'] Are all DI's at mic level then? [/quote] No - often they are switchable [quote name='Si600' timestamp='1383578797' post='2266095'] Why should line level be different from mic level? [/quote]Mic level is a much lower voltage than line level - it's something to do with the sensitivity of passive microphones and the voltage they can generate

What amp are you using? Most mixers will take a 1/4" input at line level. Many DI outs on amps are switchable between mic and line level. XLR inputs on mixing desks are often fixed at mic level - some are switchable.

I would recommend my rig: Genz Shuttle 9.2 plus Barefaced S12T Clear, punchy, LOUD, very lightweight Sadly mine is not for sale

[quote name='norvegicusbass' timestamp='1383566112' post='2265852'] Wonder if this girl knows/gives a s*** that a thread exists about her. I hope she doesnt give a s*** [/quote] I'll post a link to it to her youtube channel

I have a JV 62 precison. I have owned it from new. It hardly ever gets played anymore - I far prefer my yellow Warmoth P for playability. I really cannot see what all the fuss is about - it was a particularly cheap ( was it £129 or £149 I paid ? I can't remember) budget bass at the time. The story is that the JV series was better built than contemporary US Fenders - that may be so but early 80s Fenders were awful, so that wasn't hard, was it? I really ought to cash in while the going's good but despite its inflated 'value' that won't happen - we've been through too much together.

I would enough said

We had every instrument from the orchestra available to try but none of those newfangled electric instruments

[quote name='Jazzneck' timestamp='1383118475' post='2260278'] BTW Dweezil - ever heard of Pete Townshend and The Who in September 1964, Wealdstone? [/quote] Ha Ha yeah I spotted that too

[quote name='SimonEdward' timestamp='1383072670' post='2259915'] ... I'm absolutely ecstatic (seriously) to have received 3 votes from the BCers out there!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! [/quote] I totally love your entry and have just played it LOUD on my system at home rather than the crappy office speakers that I used to judge the competition. Well done that was right up my street!
