On my profile I've got a big green box that's got '1' and 'neutral' in it. What does it mean? And perhaps 'Site news/issues' should be hidden, the outside world will think we're all technical idiots if they read this thread AAAGGGHHH! a pop up box that says '1 reply added'. Added where? To what? I'm off to have a lie down.

[quote name='ShergoldSnickers' timestamp='1316303812' post='1376468'] Oh oh.... reputation system. That'll modify some behaviour. Or will it? [/quote] Reputation system? Where? I must have missed it Looks good, clean and tidy and all. My only concern is that non-members seem to be able to access our profiles and info that was previously not visible to the outside world.

There are a couple of songs being suggested that would sound better using those very low notes so I thought about stringing my Ibanez SR300 to BEAD. Are there any factors I need to look out for/consider? Maybe things like action, set up etc. Also with the Ibbies skinny neck are there any issues here? I've never strung to BEAD before so was just wondering if there was anything I should sort of, look out for as it were.

[quote name='Johnston' post='1373614' date='Sep 14 2011, 07:38 PM']Come on every one knows thats 2nd rate and you need [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-/110739610961?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Outboards_Effects_MJ&hash=item19c8985d51"]this.[/url][/quote] Hmmm, I had one of them, always letting me down, could never count on it.

I don't buy a lot of gear and I don't practice enough My gear isn't expensive, I've bought what I felt was the best for what I do. Others would say I'd have been better off buying x instead of y, but it does what I ask of it, maybe not perfect but it'll do. I genuinely don't actually like buying expensive gear, partly because I don't regard myself as a good enough player, partly because I don't really have the money and as such I'd feel rather guilty and self indulgent - especially as I have 3 young kids. I feel quite fortunate enough to have what I've got and although I don't practice enough I do enjoy playing and being in a band.

[quote name='dc2009' post='1371131' date='Sep 12 2011, 09:37 PM']I dare say I could pick out a Gaga song in the first few bars, and wouldn't be able to tell Dusty Springfield or Aretha Franklin apart if I heard the two alongside each other.[/quote] Really?! I heard her new one on the radio the other day and thought it was Shania Twain. Gaga is a gimmick, a marketing vehicle, a 'produced sound', here today gone tomorrow. I find it astonishing you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Springfield and Franklin, their voices are their trademarks and what made them the respected artists they are.

Well done mate. All the best. And like Paul said, don't take sh1t from anyone

[quote name='Telebass' post='1369368' date='Sep 11 2011, 01:07 PM']It's places like this that make me really regret living in Devon/Cornwall! I will have to attempt a visit...[/quote] I can wholeheartedly agree with you there.

I wouldn't. Too many horror stories on here about other players borrowing gear and wrecking it.

I'd go for another 15. If you like the sound

An end of year awards/charity ball, in a marquee, last night at a local private school. Had to make a bit of an effort with appearance, lots of DJ's and posh frocks. So opted for my oldest most ill fitting suit, black shirt and a pair of DM's that I've been wearing lately whilst building a new garden wall, they scrubbed up alright. It went really well, a few fluffs, but dance floor was busy and 3 encore songs, what more can you ask?

B on the A string, lush.

Isn't this the guy Nige has...an aversion to? Perhaps someone should distract him with a Scott Thunes thread

Welcome to basschat

When I auditioned for my band I think I ended up getting the gig by sheer fluke to be honest, so as such haven't really got any advice. But, best of luck and all...
