Scott's views on what makes for great bass tone
KiOgon replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
10 minutes is probably the longest I've ever managed to listen to Scott π but wanted to get to the end π Basicaly I have to agree with most he says - especially the big NO π -
Pete ordered a couple of wiring kits from me, spot on comms and instant payment, a real gent to deal with, perfect transaction. Cheerz, John

You could do with some insulation on the cap's long legs, all too easy to short onto the pot bodies - If you don't mind me saying like and personally I wouldn't rely on the earth continuity via the copper shielding, a proper wire from jack socket to each pot body would be my suggestion π

Get in touch with @Ashdown Engineering they're brilliant! They're both brilliant, LB30s and Ashdown Engineering, just to be clear π

Basschat feedback / buying & selling / the people on this forum
KiOgon replied to dodge_bass's topic in General Discussion
From meetings in car parks, lay-bys and railway stations, buying and trading, everyone I've met has been great and honest good guys to deal with. By post and courier I've found the same, even sending a flight case out to guys so they could send a bass to me, worked every time. Also had basschatters visit my home, all have been great to meet, always friendly and plenty to chat about, time always goes too quick. Of course I've made and sold a lot of wiring looms too, with only a couple of problems, which were amicably sorted, when I look at the numbers on my feedback it's hard to believe - over 400 replies and 50,000 views last time I looked! Great place and good people, big thanks to @ped , @Bilbo and all the mods that give up their time and help to keep this all going. Thanks to all those who have bought my kits too, this is the only place I sell - to basschatters - I couldn't stand the hassle of ebay!! Cheerz, John -
As one door closes another opens - good luck!

Bass players who take their hand off the neck

Just depends which side your stack is, with your pasty/pie/fish & chips keeping hot on top of your valve amp π -
Bass players who take their hand off the neck
KiOgon replied to PaulWarning's topic in General Discussion
Confucius say; 'man who plays bass with itchy bum soon has smelly finger' or similar π -
Try it, you won't hurt anything and should be able to tell - I think they're conventional - white is 'hot' output.

How else are you going to grab a bite of your pasty/pie/fish & chips if you don't let go now and then? π -

We always celebrate with a real Haggis and all the trimmings supper, with the poem spoken, (in best Scottish accent), by your's truly of course: Address to a Haggis Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o the puddin'-race! Aboon them a' ye tak your place, Painch, tripe, or thairm: Weel are ye worthy o' a grace As lang's my arm. The groaning trencher there ye fill, Your hurdies like a distant hill, Your pin wad help to mend a mill In time o need, While thro your pores the dews distil Like amber bead. His knife see rustic Labour dight, An cut you up wi ready slight, Trenching your gushing entrails bright, Like onie ditch; And then, O what a glorious sight, Warm-reekin, rich! Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive: Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive, Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve Are bent like drums; The auld Guidman, maist like to rive, 'Bethankit' hums. Is there that owre his French ragout, Or olio that wad staw a sow, Or fricassee wad mak her spew Wi perfect scunner, Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view On sic a dinner? Poor devil! see him owre his trash, As feckless as a wither'd rash, His spindle shank a guid whip-lash, His nieve a nit; Thro bloody flood or field to dash, O how unfit! But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed, The trembling earth resounds his tread, Clap in his walie nieve a blade, He'll make it whissle; An legs an arms, an heads will sned, Like taps o thrissle. Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care, And dish them out their bill o fare, Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware That jaups in luggies: But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer, Gie her a Haggis.

On the other hand - Dinner Sets I ordered a 4 place dinner set at sale price from M&S, it arrived in a massive Christmas designer box, but when opened the actual dinner set box inside was surrounded by air bags, lots of them, but nothing above or below. Most of the pieces were smashed so I 'phoned to complain and explained the lack of protection. Box number 2 arrived, externally smaller than the first with even less packing, again none top or bottom, once more - many items smashed. Third verse same as the first! So on my third call of complaint I was really upset to hear they had no more of that design so I had to accept a full refund π Out of the remaining unbroken pieces we ended up with a 6 place set, minus 1 bowl, for nothing, apart from my wasted time and aggravation. Ridiculous cost to M&S, for the sake of a bit of sensible packing in the first place.
