  1. I've sent a pic to Skol. Do I post it here too - or do we wait for him to start another thread?
  2. Thanks folks, congratulations all round I think. It was actually a very close call!
  3. Oh right, a picture...
  4. Wow! Thanks very much - and thanks for the cerstificate! Very pleased, especially given the high quality of the entries. I really thought JBP was going to pip me at the post with a late surge, but somehow I managed to hang in there..! Well done to everyone who got an entry in, let's do it again soon.
  5. Yes, this. Also a good way to check who is a dead weight, dead wood or just a dead loss.
  6. It's bloody annoying, but if at least the drummer, guitarist and myself turn up, there's usually something to be getting on with. And we can talk about the others (and how we're going to replace them).
  7. I wasn't being entirely serious. I managed to annoy six people before breakfast - must be the weather.
  8. TC Electronic gear? What were you thinking!??
  9. Yes, foam! That's why Lakland bridges are that shape, y'know.
  10. Yes, it would presumably mute all notes equally, including fretted ones. I suppose a wrap would be useful for muting unfretted open strings that would otherwise ring out if one's muting technique wasn't quite 100%.
  11. Won't that only mute open strings, though? I've not used one.
  12. Royal Ascot? I could have sworn I was in Lewisham...
  13. Going to leave this here... can't seem to link the video directly, so scroll down - it's worth it! https://amgreatness.com/2018/06/25/oh-my-god-is-water-racist/#.WzVFWnHQcpM
  14. You don't get the 'heft' without some heft...
  15. Yes, coupled with turning both pickups up full and backing off the bridge pickup a smidge...
  16. 1. Avoiding arguments with the current mrs discreet. 2. Er... 3. That's it.
  17. Great, now I've got Greco GAS.
  18. Just had a look on eBay. Prices seem to have shot up recently! But if they are as good as everyone thinks they are, it may be an affordable way to get into the 70s vibe without breaking the bank.
  19. There you go, I have the same combo and find 'all flat' is quite often my default setting. If I need to get more... 'front and centre' I'll add a touch of low mid or high mid or both... but that also depends on whether I'm using series or parallel switching on the bass.
  20. So it will - but I find I get more control over mids from the amp, particularly one with low and high mid controls - or better yet, a parametric or semi-parametric mid control. But it's whatever floats your boat, obviously.
  21. Full on - and take care of any EQ from amp or DAW. With a passive bass you really want all the output the pickup has to offer.
  22. Ah... I'd pretty much forgotten that Spitfire make guards other than tort !
  23. Have to agree. Why people slap tort on any old colour is beyond me. Love sonic blue though, especially that washed-out sonic with an aged mint guard, light-relic hardware, dark rosewood, clay dots... dammit, I've given myself GAS!
  24. Quite. If I had the requisite paper tokens (or modern equivalent), this would be nestling in my bosom.
