My main computer is a Mac We have two Windows laptops (one runs 7 the other 8) All our mobile (phone and tablets) are Android. I'm just bloody confused...

From the clips I've watched i like it, just depends on price.

Welcome to the forum and bass playing, and you've already got bass GAS That's a great looking bass. I almost ordered the sunburst version, great price

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1424458430' post='2696623'] Nah, all my basses are on loan from mates ;-). [/quote] I've never been able to use that excuse, only one of my very limited number of mates plays bass...and it sucks

[quote name='Bottle' timestamp='1424437440' post='2696292'] And Roberta Roberts for her bass duties in Cee-Lo Green's touring band [/quote] Is that the one that played out of tune at one concert?

A warm welcome to thee

Lovely to have you on board, welcome

Greetings and welcome

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1424426054' post='2696112'] Nice one. fingers crossed its a keeper. I have no issues at all ordering from Thomanns, their returns are very good. I purposely left my credit card at home today, but i can see me ordering one over the weekend. If the gig goes well on Sat then ill order one on Sunday. Black or white, it will be at the toss of a coin now (although if i get the white one the GF wont notice a new bass lol) [/quote] Best play safe and go for white

[quote name='Bottle' timestamp='1424436507' post='2696273'] Mike Mills is the bassist and I really liked his playing style - much more melodic than the material would suggest. [/quote] ...and he's not too shabby at the old warblin' either. If I remember correctly, Mills is the only one in the band who had any sort of musical tuition...I think it tells

[quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1424431079' post='2696190'] Yeah, but he's sold loads of records so he must be brilliant. [/quote] Absolutely. Popularity and a stack of cash = genius. The same goes for all famous minted folk.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1424422926' post='2696080'] U2. [/quote] Definitely, them and that Coldplay lot.

[quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1423601912' post='2687001'] Has anyone tried the Behringer version of the LS2? [/quote] The Behringer AB100, you can only switch between one or the other not route through both at the same time

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1424419356' post='2696041'] without photos it didn't happen..... [/quote] Here here. The amp does not exist unless we see visual representation

[quote name='Johnm93' timestamp='1424387772' post='2695934'] He did .... saw it myself... [/quote] Oooo, I never did

Ouch. The Mumford of rap is the most cutting comment thus far. I don't think we'll see anything harsher

I wanted to be in a band with my mates, they played guitar so it was either bass or drums and as i had nowhere to keep a kit... I always wanted be a guitarist really (stop booing its not remotely funny ), but never actually learnt how to play the guitar, which is clearly a problem if you want to be a guitarist. I don't really have bass heroes or someone I want to play like. There are players whose work interests me and I take away as much as I can from listening to them. I'm not someone who get into a track just because the bass part is supposedly great, frankly doesn't intetest me at all

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1424367048' post='2695603'] Got the 2nd amp of the week today, this time from Gear4Music. Great news is that it doesn't appear to have any of the problems of the last one. Got band rehearsal tonight, so a good chance to crank it up and see how it performs. Bad news was that it arrived without a UK power lead, only a European one. Quick call to G4M, and they apologised and said they'd get one out to me ASAP. Luck seems to be against me this week! Have a gig on Saturday, so with that and the rehearsal, I'll post some thoughts back on the amp's performance. First impressions, it looks great! [/quote] The version 2 rumble I bought from G4M came with a two pin lead. Fair dues though a UK one appeared in the post next day. Great to hear it's all ok

[quote name='Drax' timestamp='1424376905' post='2695744'] He really does. I like his little moans as he unwraps it. [/quote] I found the running water annoying and the little moans rather disturbing...I did, for a moment, wonder what we were going to see next

OBBM for me as well. I'm not being funny, but when I whip it out and plug it in, I do get a sense of satisfaction. The quality is there to feel.

...you need to posses the special key which only belongs to but a few in these here parts. aarrr, arrr.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1424372900' post='2695683'] Well yes and no. My TRBX is the first active bass ive owned that will run in true passive mode, without even needing a battery in it. Other active basses ive had haven't worked like this and if the battery died so did the bass. Maybe this wasn't the norm though. So while I understand the active/passive switch I'd still like confirmation that it does indeed work as above. Gettting very close to ordering the White/RW V7 though. [/quote] Yes, I assumed that all active passive basses could do the same, however they may not I suppose. From what I remember my previous active passive bass could go without the battery and I've got a Yamaha TRBX504 which as you know will work with no battery. I should find out soon re. the MM v7

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1424357917' post='2695514'] Same here. I love the look of the black one, its just perfect, but i love the white one as well. Damn, Only things i dont like are the headstock and bridge. i can live with both but the bridge looks a bit cheap to me (cheaper than it obviously is of course) [b]Too those who have ordered one, when doing a review could you please see if the bass will run without a battery in it. Im very paranoid about pre amps going dead on me at gigs.[/b] [/quote] It has an active passive switch, so if the battery does go you just switch it to passive. I personally think all actives should come like that. EDIT: just noticed you've got a TRBX505, so you'll know all about that

[quote name='Drax' timestamp='1424352325' post='2695439'] Good work! 4 or 5 ? Do let us know what it's like - really keen hear a comprehensive BC review.. Current plan pulls the trigger on a 5 late March. Still can't decide what finish.. [/quote] Ordered the 4 string version. There will be a NBD thread when it arrives and I've had a fumble with it

I couldn't hold out anymore...I've just ordered the Black with rosewood and tort pickguard. TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVING BEEN SAYING NICE THINGS ABOUT THEM...DAMN YOU!!!! I just had to give into the GAS
