Signed. There should be a special clause if the planning is granted...any new residents of the flats, who complain about any noise from the Fleece, should be placed in stocks outside the venue with a sign around them saying 'please throw rotten fruit at me as I am stupid'. If you buy/live in a new residence next to an established venue, tough. It really boils my urine this sort of thing.

I don't like the styling at all. The control panels look like something from a 90s Peavey.

Oh good grief, you're turning into a ravaging GAS animal!!

They're all good. The SR300 is a heap load of bass for the money, I think they're about £245 new. The 370, you're paying a little bit more for a nicer paint finish, the hardware and pickups are the same as the 300. I've an older 300, it's a great bass. The 500 has better pickups, IMO. Slightly different hardware, but not much in that really. And it's made out of more expensive woods. If they did the 300 with the Bart pickups from the 500...for about£3-350, that would be a knock out bass.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1392104582' post='2364602'] Not for me 810s.... The Aguilar one apperantly weighs 184lb thats over 13 stone.... [/quote] Perhaps they put a concrete block on them like they do in washing machines?

I'll take a good band playing the music I want to hear above all else...

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1400155435' post='2451246'] I would certainly think so, as long as you have a reasonably powerful amp, say 400 or 500 Watts would be plenty. When I get gigging again, I'm hoping my 2 X Mi10s and my MiBass 2.0 head will keep up in a similar setting, if not I'll move them out for the 12s Eude [/quote] Cheers. I've got a 300w head, but it puts out a lot, it's definitely loud . Just have to persuade the Exchequer of the Household now...
-
Would 2 Mi12's keep up with a drummer and two guitarists? Rock covers band sort of thing, average volume for a band - we don't make ears bleed put it that way

When is a bass considered a "high end" bass?

Doc Martin boots used to be relatively cheap, all they seem to have done is cashed in on the brand. As for walking in them... they last so long because you can't walk far in them. -
[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1400079358' post='2450535'] But that's exactly why they rate Barefaced so highly, don't you see? Barefaced don't place much weight. [/quote] http://gifb.in/QTBV

Says they're wonderfully well made and sound great...and that's the Gen2 cabs not the new ones. (I don't own a BF cab btw) [url="http://www.guitar-bass.net/gear/barefaced-midget-t-review/"]http://www.guitar-bass.net/gear/barefaced-midget-t-review/[/url]

The last 3 set ups I've used have all had 10's in them (a Fender Rumble 410, a Hartke 410XL and an Ampeg 410BHLF)...they all sounded different, despite using the same amp/rack set up. The Ampeg is mine and the Hartke the cab in the practice room my band uses the Rumble from a different practice room again, and they are poles apart.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1399996022' post='2449717'] What, all sweaty and wrinkly? [/quote][URL=http://www.sherv.net/][IMG]http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/sick/about-to-vomit.gif[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1399989857' post='2449632'] I don't get it at all - I have no desire whatsoever to either watch clips of other people playing bass or to film myself playing & put it on YouTube or whatever. It all seems a bit w***y & egotistical to me. I don't get why people would want to seek praise and/or acceptance from a bunch of people they don't know. [/quote] Aren't there elements of all that in doing a gig though?
-
[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1399974842' post='2449442'] Glad they do, it's another useful tool in learning stuff I might need for a gig. I never used to bother looking at them but I've actually found watching someone else play lines I've needed to learn recently has speeded up my getting to grips with them. I don't much care whether they are doing it as a show reel, ego boost or genuinely want to help others learn the lines, its just another learning resource for me. [/quote] Yes, although I wish some would remember to turn a little toward the camera so the fretting hand can be seen clearly...dashed annoying when half the fretboard isn't in shot.

[quote name='wombatboter' timestamp='1399974222' post='2449429'] It's meant for someone who has a fretless bass and wonders how it can be played....like I said : it has nothing to do with me, it might be helpful, who knows. The feedback showed me that it turned out to be handy for others. I don' t need approval, that's not why I play music, I just like the sound of a bass. [/quote] I haven't got a fretless I did though thoroughly enjoyed the vid. However, what it has done is given me GAS for a fretless EDIT: loved the little hand wiggle wave thing near the beginning btw

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1399650632' post='2446350'] You should be in luck, there are plenty of online dating sites these days. Specifically finding an Amos may reduce your chances a little but I'm sure he's out there somewhere waiting for your call [/quote] ooops! I hate this phone.

I've given up on shops to be honest. The nearest one, the stock is woeful bass wise and the service isn't all that tbh, Mansons is an hour away, but there again bass wise I wasn't impressed last time I went there. Actual basses, ok but Amos and cabs, very wanting. That's it. So I shop online.

Avoid shipping anything musical with Myhermes
Marvin replied to itsmedunc's topic in General Discussion
Given the exclusions list of what isn't covered and what they won't carry there's not a lot left -
I just happen to have had 10's over the last few years. They were the most bang for my buck.
-
They certainly know their biscuits and what they want from their gear. Finger's crossed, I'll be off to see The Winery Dogs in July...

[quote name='Mr Fretbuzz' timestamp='1399379601' post='2443577'] Could have done with a socket for an iPad or iPod etc [/quote] There's a 1/8" aux input, so still feasible to hook up iPads and iPhones via the headphone jack.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1399201301' post='2441962'] This is a sensible post [/quote] Sincere apologies, I don't what I was thinking, it won't happen again.
