It looks great with that cloth grille. Looks like I picked the wrong year to give up bass playing....

Love the body shape & colour.

[quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1462619103' post='3044402'] Getting drunk before gig is one thing,getting drunk before rehearsals is another, but I shall never forget the moment of terror when I realised the guy whose turn it was to drive to the gig had got drunk before getting in the car. [/quote] Had this happen when an old band had a gig at a festival in West Sussex. Drove all the way there from Cardiff & took somebody with us who would drive us back after the gig so we could have a drink after we'd played. Our driver ended up so pissed he could barely stand. I refused to get in the van with the rest of the others & booked myself into a hotel. I still can't believe he drove back, or that the others were happy for him to do so. Left the band shortly afterwards.

Looks like the pots & jack sockets are mounted directly to the circuit boards, which isn't ideal from a durability/repair perspective. Still, the vast majority of amps are made like that these days.

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1462476412' post='3043418'] No they dont at the moment. I know someone who had bought a ticket before Chris died and didn't know he was ill. He was going but said if he had known Chris would have been there he wouldn't as it was a lot of money for a cover band. At least AC/DC offered refunds.. [/quote] In that instance that's bad luck I agree. When something like that happens I think it's only fair to offer refunds to people that want them.

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1462469201' post='3043325'] ...I have no clue why they ever decided to persevere with the talentless, one-dimensional and lyrically constipated Anthony Kiedis. [/quote] Maybe he owns the PA & van.

[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1462458289' post='3043186'] Certainly did [/quote] I used to have one like that, only difference was that mine was a natural finish. Swapped a sh*tty old Rick 4001 for it.

Fine art???

[quote name='bigd1' timestamp='1462442608' post='3043004'] I know some feel these band if they can should carry on, but when they have become a tribute band charging full money for gigs etc, is that really being fare to the fans who pay to keep them going? [/quote] It's got nothing to do with "fairness", people have a choice as to whether they pay to see them or not.

If you put one really thin string on it would it be a one string extended range bass?

I saw Sherwood playing bass with the bizarre Yes/Toto hybrid band Yoso a few years back. He seemed to have the whole Squire thing pretty much nailed then.

[quote name='Kex' timestamp='1462426785' post='3042880'] I think you will find you were playing a harpoon gun [/quote] Probably, it is Japanese after all...

I once mistook composer/musician Michael Kamen for a roadie backstage at the Royal Festival Hall, even going so far as to give him some stuff to carry onto the stage for me, which he did. I didn't find out who he was until the evening when he came out on stage & started playing.

Try it as it is & see what happens. The main thing I'd be looking out for is to see if the bridge intonates correctly.

[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1462223130' post='3041310'] South Eastern by Jason Isbell. Quality songwriter. [/quote] Great album.

You shouldn't need any drivers to use that interface with a Mac. Ther are various little buttons on each track, one of them has a picture of some headphones on it - have you made sure this is switched on?

It reminds me of the multitracked jingles Kenny Everett used to make many years ago.

[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1462178284' post='3040752'] The god-like Martin Taylor referred to young Jacob as "the most incredible musician on planet earth at the moment", so he must be doing something right [/quote] I'd much rather listen to Martin Taylor.

Because when I started playing nearly all my favourite players used one.

It sounded really disjointed & artificial to me so pretty much unlistenable after about 30 seconds.

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1462111650' post='3040336'] this has always troubled me, only I prefer the A string to the E string, the A string always sounds punchier and clearer to me, cuts through the mix better, whenever possible I avoid using the E string, I'm not a fan of fivers as you can imagine [/quote] I'm exactly the same, hate the sound of anything above the fourth fret on the E string.

If you're looking for mainly metal tones it's worth having a look at the Blackstar stuff.
