Love pedal steel. Paul Franklin is probably my fave along with the aforementioned. For some edgy stuff try Robert Randolph. Enjoy!

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1381439709' post='2239277'] I always knew there must be someone out there that actually likes the BF paint finish and now we know who [/quote] Ha ha - catty comment in a catty thread

Whats this? Another Bareface thead?

[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1381245879' post='2236358'] Do you think they ever stopped to consider how much electrical stuff would go to waste simply because people couldn't get in to change the molded-in fuse? (I think I just get exasperated that nowadays I usually have to buy an entire replacement plug rather than just a new fuse!) [/quote] Most molded plugs allow you to change the fuse...?

As an aside, I still think there is a right way and wrong way to wire a plug... or perhaps, a right way and a more right way to wire a plug. My grandpa taught me to have a long earth cable inside the plug (even double back on itself in some cases) so if the cable grip failed and the cable was pulled, the earth cable would most likely always stay on it's pin. Plugs that have the wire cut to length exactly, in the right situation, could have the cable pulled enough to release the earth but not the live and neutral. It's something that I've never seen proactively taught, but it something that I've carried on doing since I was taught. It's neither here or there now because the safety bods push for molded prewired plugs.

He should've have finished off... "PS - aren't you glad I don't make pickups?!" for maximum uncalled for, yet comedic, effect.

Nice. You make it look very easy. A master at work. I remember my experience with a rasp for instance. I was sweating buckets.

[indent=1]This is very true.[/indent] [indent=1]That comment will go down in history. [/indent]

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1381146226' post='2234874'] Why not just buy a cheap used Ashdown head and use the whole power amp section and transformer? [/quote] Fire!!

[quote name='tonyf' timestamp='1380804748' post='2230799'] Eeeeek, GULP! <RUNS OFF TO PRACTICE MORE> [/quote] It's ok, I'll bring Pino down with me also... he was intrigued by the Easyjet comments.

Have to say I was mighty impressed with the ATS. Closest that I've got to "my" sound in a lightweight package. I would love to A/B my current rig against the ATS rig side by side to see how close. That head is cool - my fave micro head yet.

In a nutshell, no flash support on iOS.

Ooooof :-p http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GB-RUMOUR-4-STRING-BASS-GUITAR-BY-LUTHIER-BERNIE-GOODFELLOW-IMMACULATE-/261295539511?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3cd66d8537

Aye. Little mixer. Little cheapy Behringer will do you. Or something like the EBS microbass2 if you want to spend some money and do without your amp (silent practice)

This threads got a bit boring, I need a shot of espressivo

Have a good one... can't get down this time due to a prior engagement... but maybe the next!

These are/were (dunno what the current state is) to call... http://looperlativeaudio.com/

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1380733178' post='2229735'] I've documented all of the available facts in an open and honest manner. If you want to make assumptions based on your extensive knowledge of the Basschat admin systems then that's really your lookout. [/quote] [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1380733868' post='2229750'] Quite. Damn this free forum, staffed by fallible human volunteers! [/quote]

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1380702708' post='2229030'] The whole technique thing is getting tired now. Unless you are playing technical music for a living, no one cares anyway. [/quote] Come back here saying that when you've developed RSI!

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1380724864' post='2229587'] Taking all this into account, I can only assume that someone had an inadvertent 'finger failure'. [/quote] Man, there is something wrong with this software if one finger failure causes a thread removal. I figure given that most software gives you the fail safe, "are you sure?" prompt, I can only assume whoever had their 'finger failure' was having a fit at the time. Either that, or one of the mod team has amnesia. I remember a guy who worked at my dad's office - nice chap, had Parkinson's. Police and ambulance came round to the office and burst in. Turns out the poor fella was only trying to get an outside line.

So, whats the latest score with this luthier and pickup guy then?

[quote name='Shockwave' timestamp='1380712036' post='2229252'] I have now got a response from Lettsbass. No updates, but the communication makes me rest a bit easier. [/quote] ...and? Surely he didn't just say, "hello." At this point, you need to be speaking to him on the phone to get the deal straightened, or getting your money back.

Looking smooth.
