You're a drummer who has landed a real, actual, paying, full-time bass playing job? Nice work! Now... what were you complaining about again..?
-
Yes. I have one of those twenty quid jobs and it makes things very easy.

It's SO annoying. As if viewers won't have the attention span to listen to an interview without constant visual excitement such as fast zooms, whip pans and an edit every half-second interspersed with shots of the interviewer nodding frantically like some demented bobble-head toy. Mind you, most of this stuff happens to keep people staring at the screen like zombies because in most cases there is actually NO content. None!
-
Actually, its not to be sniffed at.

Must be why they keep playing 'Our House' by Madness...
-
I'm off - just in case.

Silence! I'm trying to watch Nazi Weird War Two...

I think that's very sweet and considerate of her.

Anyone notice this trend? The BBC seem to be major offenders. Anything that's not serious drama, such as a programme about shopping, or a fluff-doc about some family business in Kettering, always has a constant moronic soundtrack throughout - usually featuring plinky pizzicato strings for a 'lighthearted' feel, or possibly an aphasic idiot whistling a merry tune accompanied by some jolly ukulele chords... and it's always too bloody loud! I get the impression this drek is to keep the population calm and sedate... much like the sort of easy-listening prevalent in the nation's secure units, loony bins and associated banana cabanas. Crime drama and other 'serious' programming is even worse. It's got to the stage where I cant even tell if something horrible is about to happen without the obligatory 'low synth drone', presumably intended to instil a sense of foreboding in the viewer... Any other feckless time-wasting, square-eyed, slack-jawed quinquagenarians agree..?

Quite. After many decades and thousands of pounds, it's become obvious that all you need is a Harley Benton P Bass and a 1990 Peavey TNT Combo.

Sometimes a feeling is all you've got to go on. I've learnt not to ignore such feelings. If someone is kosher, they'll be perfectly willing to accommodate you, answer your questions and make sure you're completely happy. If they're not, they won't!

Makes no difference. To affect any change in sound you'd need to have the cab around 18" off the floor. You might get a better sound on a boomy wooden stage, though. I expect Bill will be along shortly to correct both these statements.
-
Er... yes. Yes, I did.
-
TURDS!!
-
And also as said above, the perceived 'power' of bass guitar is at around 80Hz - 120Hz. So you don't need a cab that will reproduce low-end down to 40Hz - that's what you don't want...
-
As said, a bass will sound different 'in concert' than it will at home/solo. At home, you tend to EQ out string noise, fret noise and 'clank'. In concert you need all this stuff to be heard. But you won't hear the string noise, fret noise, etc. In short, when playing in a band at a gig: Mids, mids, mids. Low and/or high, but mids, and plenty of them. Don't have a load of extreme bottom end sloshing around either, it sucks up bandwidth and makes the whole band sound like turds. Turds!!

That's where I come in... -
Dont worry about it, you've done the right thing! There's 'legal' and there's 'being a bell-end'. Who you sell to is entirely up to you, it's a private transaction.

How far away are you? On my phone, can't see any locations... -
Are we really going to change the rules of Cricket just because kids don't find it 'exciting' and have the attention span of a goldfish?? Anyone who doesn't understand the rules doesn't deserve to enjoy the game, IMHO. Bah! Tsk! Pshaw! And so on.

They will almost definitely remove the neg. You should also report this guy - eBay don't like multiple identities and accounts.
-
What, that they didn't have the cushion, or that you looked at loads of basses..?
-
I usually regard Gumtree as 'a bit poo', but I've had a couple of good opportunities through it.

BUMP! OK, I'll go down to £125, but that's it! If it doesn't sell, I'm keeping it! £125 is a bargain for the head alone! Also... happy to deliver within the M25 area, or perhaps further. If it's not too much further...
