[quote name='rushbo' timestamp='1487095862' post='3237049'] a quick glance down at the £2.83, eBay special, stick on digital clock on my pedal board will tell me when to wind the set up [/quote] You need to up your clock game..

[quote name='mike257' timestamp='1486808028' post='3234646'] I love the way the six pack of short mic stands costs more than their normal ones. The price difference must be to pay the fella with the saw who cuts them down to size! [/quote] I'm guessing they don't sell as many so don't get the volume price breaks that they get for the normal ones...? Maybe....?

Don't forget the fresh pair of strides.

I always found that it's other people that suck the soul from you.

[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1487095041' post='3237036'] I'd be Paul McCartney, 1962 to 1970. I wouldn't have minded being in Motley Crue too, although I think a couple of weeks would probably have been enough... [/quote] You can't be Paul McCartney for all of that era... one of them died - so which one would you be?

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1487082831' post='3236861'] I really don't think that anyone actually needs a watch to tell the time while they are on stage performing. If you've done your pre-gig preparation properly then you'll know how long the set lasts and also how long each individual song is so that you can adjust as required to take account of any over-run. [/quote] I completely agree... who needs a naff watch...?

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1487092849' post='3237004'] Head-stock tuners are for hobbyists. Real pros use a head-stock GPS compass so they can precisely align their strings in parallel with the Earth's magnetic poles for optimum 'growl' and 'punch'. [/quote] Don't forget to flip your string ends from the headstock to the bridge as you pass over the equator. Come to think of it, what do you do when you are playing ON the equator...? Or is that one of those "Ghostbusters crossing the streams" situations?

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1487082892' post='3236862'] Which means that his attire has done the job. You've remembered who we are and what we look like. On the other hand I know nothing about your band. [/quote] What a ludicrous statement. I know about Jedward because of their stupid hair. Doesn't mean that they are of any music merit. If you aren't doing it for the music, aren't you just another sell out? Or is it indeed, style (if that's what it is) over substance.

As mentioned the above - the Neotech/Fender/Sadowsky (all made by Neotech) are certainly springy and bouncy!

Have a look at slinger straps, theres a few interesting takes on straps that you may find interesting.

[quote name='geoffbyrne' timestamp='1486721793' post='3234047'] Nobody's mentioned Annie Lennox's version of 'Whiter Shade of Pale' yet..... [/quote] There's a reason for that.

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1486721681' post='3234045'] You'll get no argument from me on that.... I have a thumpinator [/quote] Interesting that the roll off is apparently at 30hz on the thumpinator - still lower than most bass cabs can reliably reproduce at any noticeable volume. It will get the fundamental of a B string through - which to be honest, is probably not wanted on most stages anyway. Keep the sub frequencies for the PA - and even then, a lot of smaller venues won't thank for you subs that low. In fact, you got to be running some pretty decent subs to get anywhere near 30hz at -3db at any decent SPL anyway. The real chest thumping stuff is circa 65Hz - the resonant frequency of your rib cage... so you know where to peak your kick drum's eq...

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1486721279' post='3234042'] Thus my previous "[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Fr800 goes to 42 Hz (-3db)." [/font][/color] [/quote] True - but it also goes lower... but with more than a -3dB roll off. I'm not sure you want to be going as low as 42 Hz.. your sound is going to be pretty swampy on stage.

Reidmar is a good head - out the box, it would appear tonally different to the classic 450, a lot more hifi, although it can be toned down to where you would be used to.

RCF 735 or 745.

[quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1486652205' post='3233554'] Not all PA Speaker go low enough Hz do they? [/quote] I said decent!

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1486658156' post='3233629'] If you are running sequences behind your band then you can just have the sequencer make the changes as and when you like. [/quote] I'm not running sequences - but it means I can remotely change patches and have it in a remote looper... all via MIDI. Don't know if you have seen the Katy Perry and Kemper video - they run the whole lot on a sequence, with all the patch changes for both the guitarists (one on Kemper, one on Axe FX if I recall) and all the keyboards changes from that sequence.

Whats your budget? Any decent PA speaker will likely do you better than the majority of those marketed as FRFR cabs.

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1486627414' post='3233286'] If the £ / $ exchange rate ever got back anywhere near where it was a few years back it would certainly make an interesting project. Warmoth Jazz body routed for a MM pickup, Lane Poor Legacy MM Pickup, 3 band EQ and a Status Graphite neck [/quote] I wonder if Modulus are ever going to do their aftermarket necks - I loved the dancing ladies design (or whatever it was called). I had a Status neck - so desperately wanted to like it... but bad experiences has somewhat tarnished the whole idea.

DR Lowriders here... as a counterargument to the above, I think they are more aggressive than the Rotos!

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1486569737' post='3232880'] From Sade to Flea - just goes to show the versatility of a Stingray. [/quote] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqo2DxUBb-o[/media] Good meaty tones and then the bits of slap... really cuts nice. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0yI78cFeVs[/media] Solo at 5 minute mark. Anyway back to Flea.
