    I'll light the blue touch paper....we've all done them...grim NYE gigs at social clubs to families! Tired kids up too late, families sick of the sight of each other having spent a fortnight together. The band has agreed to 3 sets, involving dredging up seldom played songs. The attendance issue being; who will last until Auld Lang Syne, despite the cheap beer?

    Transfer of faff - in one case it is you doing it, in the other case is someone else doing it! It probably could but it is a free plugin that we didn't write that does it.

    I have no issues with companies doing business, but when they try to extract every last penny from you, it starts to grate. A bit like Ryan Air when they floated the idea of charging £1 to use the toilets, or BMW (was it BMW?) now building cars with heated seats in to all their cars but you pay for them on a monthly subscription. BMW's view is that you can always choose if you want heated seats and not pay for them if not, but the cost of making the car is already incurred, they are now trying to to extract out a monthly or annual charge for a heated seat. So I could have brought the car outright, but still paying five years later to have a warm bum. Thankfully, most car companies have little idea of real security and somebody will hack into the system and charge you a £100 for a lifetime of warm buttocks. Sometimes it's a fine line between what is acceptable to me and not, other people will have their own views. Rob

    But IME the biggest difference in the approach to getting a playing gigs is whether they are "standards" or music the performers of written themselves. The actual genre is a lot less important than that.

    Mainly that's because faithful renditions are what sells or at least gets them noticed. Give folk a familiar design but with a fancy finish and souped up hardware, they spot what changes you've made easily enough. Original designs tend to confuse rather than attract. Patrice Vigier thinks it took 20 years before he sold one of his fretless guitars, Torzal still appear in "WTF is that ?". A recent WTF which made me smile was some Who fan in Australia deriding a Buzzard Bass.

    Or Baroque, Big Band, Folk, Free Jazz, Gospel and more. All of these, whether covers, 'standards' or original have distinct differences in the approach needed. The Venue World is not as 'black or white' as you seem to often imply.

    Marc is a lovely guy, I hope all is well with him.
  13. Huge Hands started following Vintage (brand) V30 short scale P bass - any opinions?
  14. Huge Hands
    A guy in our Leeds office at work was telling me that the owners of Vintage (JHS) are selling up and this means that Vintage are being closed down and a lot of stock is being sold off cheaper (he lives near their base and knows a few in the company). I don't know if the brand is being retired, or someone has bought it, but I would imagine it might affect you getting a new one. Last time I looked on Vintage's website about a week ago, most basses/colours were out of stock. I hope I'm correct in what I'm saying and not causing a panic. I did see a thread on here from about 4 months ago that was saying a similar thing.

    If it's the original Turbosound woofer it's 4 ohms. No specs online though. No markings on the tweeter. FWIW, the internal volume of the box is about 2.25 sf and it seems to be tuned to about 70 Hz.

    Thanks Tony, very nice example

    That's a good point, but the end result is still the same in so much as I feel like there are far fewer desirable new basses that I would consider buying. I expect a few other folks feel the same way. A lot of the newer builders are offering what is essentially yet another faithful rendition of a Fender i.e brands like Moolon or Olinto, for example. There's less variety of worthwhile original designs, for my taste anyway.

    Technically, Modulus and Status are still around, but obviously not producing at nearly the scale that they once were.

    So this is my current wiring. Looks like the cap is already removed? Just the two caps in there
  24. LukeFRC
    the change is brands like you listed that formed themselves and advertised via magazines and working with musicians (who you probably found about from press) to now where the brand starts and communicates via instagram and similar platforms.

    The Vintage/Modern switch is a clever mod; it just engages a short across the cap when in normal position and disengages it when pulled. An easy retro-fit and invisible from outside.

    I've just added it for ye. Basically if you don't want the first image you need to download the image you want to use then manually upload it as the thumbnail, which I'm not sure a regular user can do themselves.

    There's nothing wrong with the bolt-on Thumb, it's just slightly different in certain aspects to the neck-thru. There might well be a good reason why Warwick have made those slight changes for the bolt-on version.

    Hi everyone, I'm selling my Origin Effects DCX Bass Preamp & Overdrive, which is in almost new condition and comes with the original box and papers. This pedal is fantastic! It can be used as a preamp for recording or for directly connecting to an interface. Additionally, it works great as an overdrive/distortion pedal. It offers numerous voicing options and has an active EQ for both the low and high frequencies. This pedal is a wonderful addition to Origin's Bass Rigs and sounds particularly good in front of the Bass Rig 64, providing extra drive and saturation. I've also enjoyed using it as a tone shaper when recording; it allows you to really mould your sound, whether you prefer an old-school vibe or a more modern, hi-fi tone. I may regret selling it, but I want to explore other options. The journey never stops! I am also interested in trades (+cash from me if needed): a power supply like Cioks DC7 or Strymon Zuma (I need at least 7 outputs) a chorus pedal, preferably a Boss Waza Craft Dimension C, but I can look at other options pedal loopers/switchers (to switch pedals in/out of the loop) Free insured postage in the UK, or we can meet in London. Thanks for looking!

    one oddness is if you post the thread without pics and subsequently add them to the thread by editing the software does not add a thumbnail, as I found with a couple of listings recently
