    [quote name='Dandelion' timestamp='1465751517' post='3070723'] A hefty wench. [/quote] I've got one of those.

    Only one outcome in my opinion. Once you've left you'll realise you did the right thing. You can still see your exes for a drink...

    Oof! Are those chi-sonic pickups, or something?

    Played a 24-hour fundraiser in London a couple of weeks ago, we were support to the main act and scheduled to play for an hour at 23:00... but the management told us 'things were running a bit late' and we eventually got on stage at 01:00. By this time the audience were, ah... 'well-primed', so we got an excellent reception, albeit booze-fuelled. Though generally I prefer to be on my merry way a [i]little [/i]earlier... I think 2 hours late is pushing it somewhat.

    [quote name='Basszilla' timestamp='1465742889' post='3070649'] I should really think about flight casing my baby as well. [/quote] OK, but be sure to specify air holes so it can breathe.

    Douglas bought pickups from me in a smooth Anglo-French transaction. All good and highly recommended.

    Definitely not firewood. A good luthier will easily be able to fix it. Should be tens of pounds rather than hundreds.

    [quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1465647623' post='3069923'] Sorry. It was all I could manage at the time. [/quote] Well... I suppose TWO farts in one post is pretty good.

As new - they have been on my Hayman 2+2 briefly but are not cut, so suitable for any bass. Great strings, but I prefer flats! I thank you!

    [quote name='Skinnyman' timestamp='1465627943' post='3069692'] I thought Hubris were a prog band from Cumbria in the early seventies. [/quote] No, I think that was Prolapse.

    [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1465590467' post='3069575'] Doesn't some music require long notes..? [/quote] Yes and bass guitars are quite capable of producing them. But I've never played a bass where I've thought, 'Strike me pink guv'nor, this a handsome bass and no mistake, me old China. If only it 'ad a bit more sustain, it'd be perfick!'
  15. discreet
    Not seen one before. I have doubts about its effectiveness as a sustain-improver. Why people seem to think sustain is a desirable trait for a bass guitar has always baffled me, too.

    [quote name='Dandelion' timestamp='1465580200' post='3069459'] Without having to resort to Google, what, pray tell, is Hubris? In all my 43 years on this earth I have never had the need to use this word. Am I missing out? [/quote] It means 'excessive pride or self-confidence', usually misplaced. I use it a lot.

    [quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1465569891' post='3069364'] ...just an example of getting the right instrument, strings and interface for the project you're doing, and you don't need much else... [/quote] I can believe it. Whether you're recording bass, guitar, piano, vocal or anything really, a quality pre is all. That's what those vintage desks were all about. Quality components!

    [quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1465563253' post='3069302'] Who cares! No-one is listening to you! [/quote] Do you mean no-one is listening to me personally, or bass players in general? Or both?

    I've got an Edirol UA5, which is old but sounds fantastic. However, when I want the sound of my amp I get good results from playing bass along with a (quiet) backing track while recording it onto a Zoom H1 in front of the cab - then importing the audio file from that into my DAW for editing and mixing. Works a treat and no latency issues.

    Well, there go my good intentions. Lovely bass and a lovely sofa-full, too. P Bass GAS!!

    If you don't otherwise have pedals it's annoying to go to the trouble of having one just for tuning. If you already have pedals, and a power supply, then it's not much extra faff. The Korg Pitchclip is the easiest clip-on I've found so far, and it's very good on batteries compared with the D'Addaro/Planet Waves tuners.

    Hang on, what happened to all the pictures of Trotsky?? Did Stalin have them airbrushed out, or something??

    [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1465557522' post='3069216'] Wouldn't life be easier if the forum had a similar stance on BF with Rickenbacker....? *runs away* [/quote] Please run back and construct that sentence so it can be understood by humans.
