[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1440865296' post='2854434'] Micro timing is different to keeping time. But then we had this conversation before didn't we [/quote] It is, you did and I'm off! *Runs away*

Isolated bass tracks are never meant to be heard in isolation. Criticising a bass player's technique or whatever is just pointless, as the end result is all that is intended to be heard. And if that sounds good, then it IS good. It's all the little nuances, rattles, timing errors, pushing and pulling and even mistakes that make great bands great. It's not just the bass doing this, it's every member of the band and it's what makes music like this greater than the sum of its parts. As already said above, this is why modern programmed digital music has no soul because it's perfectly produced and perfectly in time. It has no humanity about it whatsoever and relies almost entirely on production tricks to make it in any way interesting.

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1440766797' post='2853671'] So there's actually two curses. [/quote] Three, if you count ****. And of course ****, **** and ****. So that's six.

Oof, that's nice. Thank God it doesn't have frets.

[quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1440758145' post='2853531'] Nowhere, they're not really a band. You only think they are [/quote] Ha!

Lovely finish. So is this custom car-type two-part paint? Like Candy Colours or something?

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1440689878' post='2853023'] Do you think Drew would be interested in a straight swap? [/quote] What, my amp stand for a look at her buttocks?

Thus proving that University isn't a waste of time after all. All that 'also bought' ad targeting is rubbish, anyway. I bought an amp stand, then for weeks got loads of ads for... amp stands. I'm unlikely to buy another bloody amp stand apropos of nothing, am I..? It would make more sense to show me something else I wanted to see, but not the actual thing. Such as, er... Drew Barrymore's buttocks. There must be an algorithm for that, surely..?

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1440676584' post='2852869'] Long long gone unfortunately. Loved the thing but it was heavy. Didn't bother me then but certainly would do now. [/quote] I'm OK for about an hour - much more than that and I'm done. Vastly prefer a lighter bass though, I must admit.

[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1440675341' post='2852856'] Ignore me, i didn't see the weight. [/quote] I don't know, that looks like a bargain to me. If the OP is only carrying it to the car...

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1440675851' post='2852859'] Ooh! Mine was white... [/quote] Well that's different. I assume it's long gone by now..?

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1440674372' post='2852843'] Speed and jack Daniels mentioned in the comments section. Accept no responsibility [/quote] Lemmy! That's like asking Ian Duncan-Smith for advice on claiming benefits.

If you can get a little bit more cash together you could consider this... [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/tc_electronic_k210.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...tronic_k210.htm[/url] But for £300 - £350 you could get something decent from the for-sale forums here. I really wouldn't recommend anything new for £200. If you're not going to use the cab much and don't want to shell out for that reason, then I'd seriously think about whether you should buy one at all. It's false economy, really - when you [i]do[/i] use the cab it's not going to do what you want, so will be largely a waste of cash that you could have put towards something worth using. My 2p!

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1440673513' post='2852830'] She is in a bad way , what with her peg legs. Hope she'll be ok [/quote] Yes, indeed. I can recommend this e-book on bass-playing related injuries. Worked for me. [url="http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2015/06/01/the-bassists-guide-to-injury-management-now-available-as-ebook/"]http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2015/06/01/the-bassists-guide-to-injury-management-now-available-as-ebook/[/url] I have no connection to anyone involved with the book.

[quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1440659098' post='2852669'] ...don't be a bloke and just "man it out". [/quote] [quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1440661680' post='2852694'] This, especially the "man it out" bit. [/quote] As the OP is apparently female, I think 'manning it out' would be unlikely. As is having a ball in your shoulder, but that would be unusual regardless.

Did a deal involving a bass bridge with Si, a very smooth transaction and excellent comms, as usual. Recommended!

[quote name='zawinul' timestamp='1435998614' post='2814216'] Bootsy on acid! [/quote] I think that's the definition of 'Tautology'.

What is your meagre budget..?
