  1. Past hour
  2. I know what the World's Greatest Basslines are.... and I can guarantee they won't be on this programme.
  3. I've read the specs and that thing has a serious ARM core on it, but there is processing delay, it's not *no* additional latency.
  4. I checked it and all the screws are tightened, I also played without the grill and still noticed the sound.
  5. Urgh...... philistines..... 😠🤮😉🤣
  6. A bit shocked by the comments re Hooky above... I'm not a New Order fanatic by any means (I think I only own their original run of LPs) but the man essentially created the blueprint for the next two decades of indie (and a lot of rock and dance) bass playing and bass tones. Propulsive, melodic and often as hooky as the top line itself without being obtrusive - his best baselines are, for me, textbook examples of what the instrument should be doing in a pop song.
  7. Guitarist Keyboardist Horn Players Drummer Singers Any other Musician The audience Pub/venue landlord Anyone on the roads/public transport in my way when driving to the gig Family Friends Work colleagues Strangers People generally Animals ....seems I get annoyed easily!
  8. Thanks, Mokl. I was running two as a vertical stack – best live sound I've ever had!
  9. A couple of months ago I went with the guitarist and singer to chat with the landlady and get our money. We were standing together in a kind of circle and the landlady looked at me apologetically and told me me that if I wanted a drink before last orders that Jason the barman would serve me and that she was busy dealing with the guys from the band as she pointed to the other two. That kind of thing happens all the time. We played one venue where the landlord and his missus wanted a photo taken with the band. As we were forming the huddle, he told me he'd take one with me in it after they'd taken the one with just "me, the missus and the band". I went back to packing up.
  10. Green with Tort looks brilliant 🙂
  11. I love that! Thanks!
  12. Sorry, was having a moment! Hopefully they’re up now
  13. Amazing large-format limited edition hardback book on Rockpile. In English, full colour illustrated but published originally in Sweden. Price £20 includes UK postage. Mint condition.
  14. These were taken from a late Fender Precision and were fitted by the original owner. They sound great and were a popular mod of the time as they could be wired to a series parallel switch. They work well and there is still a good length of wire to them. They have the remains of the original pickup sponges stuck to the rear of them. I can send them in the box in the picture. There are a set of black non-original mounting screws with them. Pretty legendary set of vintage Dimarzios to soup up any P type bass. UK postage at buyer’s cost.
  15. Not sure what the tuning is, but it sounds good. David
  16. Something that annoys some but for me is a huge bonus; no one is interested in your gear. There always seems to be so much interest in the guitarists' gear, they have Fender and Marshall and huge pedal boards and loads of brandsthat the bedroom brigade are familiar with. Only twice this year did anyone ask me anything about my gear and that was, "Is that a Warwick?". To which I replied, "Um, no" and the other was recently where some chap was pointing at my rig and calling to his mates, "Look! It's an old Mesa Boogie!".
  17. Whatever the A/D latency is in the first place, once you are in the digital side there is no additional latency between effects, so one effect or 100 effects, as long as you have the processing power, it doesn't matter.
  18. That’s about as Fender as my aunt Fannie’s Deirdre
  19. Hey folks, I'm selling my Fender Coronado II 2013 resissue. Bought back in 2015 as my first 'proper' bass but never gelled with it. Bought a stingray and pretty much left this to gather dust. Happy to sell, but also open to trades, particularly another short scale (looking at you Fender Mustang!). Also open to reasonable offers. Would absolutley prefer if buyer collects. Based in Salisbury, Wiltshire but happy to travel a reasonable amount. Would rather do the exchange in person, that way everyone is happy! Buyer could arrange a courier at their own cost/risk, I would really rather not though due to previous nightmare experiences. Some details: 30" scale neck Maple neck with rosewood fingerboard Maple body, I believe All original parts, no modifications. Currently has flatwound strings on (not sure what make, long time ago) Please note that it is a fairly heavy bass, around the 4.5kg area. A few scratches and dings from 10 years of pretty light playing, nothing major though. I've tried to photograph as best as possible. It's a really nice bass, I could just never get along with it. It deserves a loving home where it'll be played! If you have any questions or further comments, please hit me up!!
  20. I see what you're saying but after listening to both, Turnover just beats Waiting Room. The main riff is so catchy and then there's that fast killer riff halfway through when it goes double time. Waiting Room only really has the one riff although it is excellent and its illegal to pick up a Stingray and not play it.

  22. Annoying things about playing bass, well up until recently the weight and portability of the gear. Then there`s the issues with sound-people "getting you a good sound" rather than just making your already good sound louder. And lastly it`s mostly being invisible, bah!
  23. What @neepheid said. I have found that genuine Hercules products are not as reliable as they used to be but trusting a knock-off seems a step too far.
