discreet

Is it creamier in real life? Looks whiter in your pics than in the vid. Either way it's very nice.

As a bass player who imagines his timing and feel to be exemplary and having played with more than one drummer whose timing and feel definitely was not, I feel qualified to if not [i]play [/i]the drums, then at least be able to [i]learn [/i]the drums adequately, given the time and facilities. And possibly to even enjoy it. But I haven't take the plunge yet... which is not to say that I won't. My style is one of locking in with the drummer and forming a cohesive rhythm section so I listen to what the drummer is doing very closely, and I listen very closely to the drums on recordings... thus after all these years I like to think I can tell if a drummer is any good or not...

Daniel bought a compressor from me. He responded to my ad in record-quick time and paid very swiftly. Communications have been superlative and I would have no hesitation whatsoever recommending him for any kind of deal or transaction. A stalwart of BassChat, he is knowledgable, friendly, astute, trustworthy and morally upstanding - and thanks for the tenner, Dan...

Has it been buried in the garden for fifty-odd years?

[quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1432570250' post='2782785'] Just picked up a second hand B1on, I had a bit of a mess about with it this afternoon and it's great, I actually prefer it to both of the more expensive versions from Zoom I've owned! [/quote] Yes, I've had both the B3 and the MS-60B pedal and prefer this. It's easier to use, you can have more effects at once and it sounds great. Also you can plug in an mp3 player or phone and practice silently with headphones. No-brainer for the cash. You could also use it as a preamp with a power amp if you were so inclined.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1421408394' post='2660807'] I've used a W-Audio Horizon 1U power amp in the past and it was good. This one will mono bridge at 1100W @ 8ohms and do 2 X 550W @ 4ohms: [url="http://www.djsuperstore.co.uk/W-Audio-Horizon-1100-Amplifier"]http://www.djsuperst...-1100-Amplifier[/url] [/quote] This amp is now for sale on this forum for £100. It is a total bargain.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1432578694' post='2782956'] No meds on this island. You'll have to nibble some tree bark or something. [/quote] There's probably a puffer fish I could lick. If not, I'm using that as a euphemism.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1432578447' post='2782944'] A quarter past four. [/quote] Ahhhhh...! Time for my meds...

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1432578268' post='2782939'] Nor would you have, if the topic hadn't been derailed..! [/quote] What topic's that, then? I thought this was the Old Man's Club thread... *wanders off*

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1432577490' post='2782922'] Oh yes! The polar bear skewer of doom [/quote] W the actual F is that?? Edit: Ritter Red Sting. Well I haven't seen that one before!

[quote name='artisan' timestamp='1432574218' post='2782860'] ...I took it back to GBBL & swapped it for another bass I had been eyeing up. [/quote] So now you've swapped it, I can say the shape makes it look like it's got a pair of buttocks.

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1432563122' post='2782674'] Thanks for the picture of your stack. I checked online and the extension cab is bigger in all three dimensions than the combo, but they look good together. [/quote] The one in the pic looks the same size as the combo. I think it depends whether it's the 1X12, the 1X15 or the 2X10 and whether it's version 2 or 3.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1432562207' post='2782661'] I take it that my drums have already been washed up safely above the tide-line..? [/quote] No sorry - you'll have to use a few coconuts and a hollow log.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1432560234' post='2782635'] [/quote] Well naturally I assumed you were one of the very rare animals who don't do all that stuff...

[quote name='rogerstodge' timestamp='1432559105' post='2782624'] ...do we have the same drummer? [/quote] Unfortunately I think they're [i]all [/i]like that. A drummer who can do all that stuff (but doesn't) is a rare animal indeed. I reckon I should take up the drums - I'd be in more demand than I am as a bass player, that's for sure.

[quote name='mxm' timestamp='1432558113' post='2782607'] What is it actually tribute to ? [/quote] Bad workmanship?

[quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1432557426' post='2782601'] Would this be a bad time to mention that Polar bears don't live in the Antarctic? [/quote] Not at all and while you're on, you can mention that penguins don't live in the Arctic too - in case anyone gets any ideas.

[quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1432549122' post='2782475'] Doesn't selling growlers break the law on soliciting? [/quote] It's not illegal if you're using it to make a porn film.
