Not my fave Caron track... but have to say... Awesome.

When it comes to AAs, get some Eneloops and a decent charger. You'll thank me later. Best performing rechargables out there. Whats the range like on the StageClix? There's a couple of new wireless systems due out which may be worth hanging fire for - what sort of budget are you looking at?

Oh wow. I thought I knew alot about Jims creations - but never have known anybody to have a Colt bass. Wow. Ive got a couple of Jims basses and guitars and they are ace. He was the most supreme pickup winder too. Sadly missed. Love the Colt.

Sony DWZ-B30GB - looking forward to seeing this, although the published specs are a bit lacking at the moment. Looking an ace bit of equipment though. Just wondering how it compares to the Line6 Relay offerings. Want! I just love the look of Sony products.

Thats my point - there isn't a pad on the transmitter...

Just thinking - whats the input handling like on these things. I have very high output basses... will the Line6 transmitter input cope?

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1345191132' post='1774680'] Just a heads up on Digital wireless..... It probably won't affect a lot of people here but those that play in corporate environments such as hotels where they have an extensive wireless wi-fi network. Sometimes these do cause interfereence with these and I'm aware of at least a couple of events where the users have been asked to not use their Digital systems as it has taken out the hotels network. [/quote] He he. Ace!

Had, had, had.... need!!

I'm ashamed to say that I recognise the first one. She's fairly well travelled.

We must hang out at the same sites... The swinging scene is not what it once was.

I got this one...

Fresh strings is probably the best thing you could buy.

I wouldn't have thought theres a lot in them but you should be testing them to see which one you like best. Are you going to be moving them around? The fact that one is 10kg lighter than the other may be a feature you like.

Remember to get a non playing member of public in so they can tell everybody that they can't hear any difference.

A lot of players may find this a worthwhile upgrade.

Not keen on the blocks... but loving the piano

If you like the sound of what you have and just want more of that, buy another SVT115e.

[quote name='bassmanbish' timestamp='1344342305' post='1763029'] I just think it's amusing that he's going to use these strings (or at least 'says' he is) on a headless bass and they don't even seem to be available in double ball end sets. Yes, I know that the single ball end sets can be anchored using the grub screws in the nut piece, but what a faff! I know what sort of string I'd rather use on a headless! It does seem very strange to me that he's moved to Rotosound in favour of Status strings, particularly as Rob Green seems to constantly chuck gear in MK's direction. Just as long as he doesn't go back to Fender... [/quote] There's probably the next incarnation of the King Bass just around the corner, with head, to enable him to make use of the new strings. Of course, all the MK-ites will have to buy those, so I don't think Rob is losing any sleep. I wonder how many people will start using Rotos because of Mark King? Unlike Mark King, most people don't have a fresh set of strings for each gig - which in my experience, is necessary with Rotos!

Wonder how long these last before being criticised for their inferior design.

Ridiculous money for what is essentially a CNC cut and assembled bass. They are workhorse basses, not boutique basses and I think at that price, they are just going to fail. I think all it's going to do is drive people away from using their basses. Thinking about it, it's probably a way of them pushing the prices of the Sterling branded basses up towards a grand. As for Warwick. Stupid money... and as said, it's done nothing for the resales. If anything, it's a reason not to buy a new Warwick.

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1343825698' post='1755820'] You did mean astronomer didn't you!? Seems an odd mix otherwise Of course you could have meant psychic, in which case I suspect NASA's reply might have been a two word email with the second one being "off" and he would probably have had the fluence to that effect [/quote] Ha yeah! Astronomer. Astrophysics and that stuff.

Celestion RnD in Ipswitch would be quite interesting.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1343899782' post='1756913'] You don't even need a fancy drill, I've drilled enclosures just fine with a hand power drill! [/quote] Indeed. A centre punch and a hand drill is all you need. And a file to deburr afterwards... if you care about that sort of thing!
