  1. Past hour
  2. probably.. i like the way it sounds. need to play around with it more tbh
  3. I've lusted after an 80s Aria Pro II for years and years, ever since seeing that Day on the Green live clip which got me into the bass in the first place! However it feels a bit rich paying the big bucks for one. Something more affordable would be right up my alley, even a decent used alternative with a few mods thrown on it.
  4. At least he didn’t call him “captain”…
  5. Putting on the Ritz - Fred Astaire et al.....
  6. "NL2 Speakon cables (2-pole) are compatible with both NL2 and NL4 panel jacks, while NL4 cables (4-pole) only fit NL4 jacks, creating a one-way compatibility. A 2-pole plug works in a 4-pole socket because it uses the 1+ and 1- contacts, but a 4-pole plug is physically too large for a 2-pole socket."
  7. Just watched the video. That deer eerily reminds me of Hartley Hare...
  8. Thanks all for your comments .. I’ll certainly give it some more thought & read up on Thiele/Small parameters etc
  9. I doubt BotGazz uses a phone keyboard with auto correct that changes a misspelling of "tube" to "time".
  10. My current board Boss TU-3 tuner Sadowsky preamp 3leaf Audio Doom 2 MXR Bass Envelope Filter Boss OC-5 Octave MXR Sub Octave Bass Fuzz MXR Phase 90 Script Boss Bass Chorus Universal Audio Heavenly plate reverb
  11. Hooky has two with The Light, usually his son Jack on the second bass (with a couple of regular stand-ins for when Jack is off smashing pumpkins, including The Coral's excellent Paul Duffy). They'll trade off between taking high or low bits across the set, huge sound.
  12. Driving With The Brakes On - Del Amitri
  13. Yes. I use an Ischell mic with phantom mixed in with a Yamahiko piezo pickup on my jazz bass. It's great. The mic preamp is nice and quiet too. It's pretty thirsty on power with 48v phantom switched on, so you'll need a decent PSU.
  14. Yes its built in and permanently on.
  15. Today
  16. These were a big deal in the unplugged era of the ‘90s . Bargain ! Glwts
  17. Stop! - Sam Brown
  18. Its a tough one with equalisers versus notch filters as the latter tends to have a very narrow filter. A standard EQ can sometimes carve away too many adjacent frequencies when endeavouring to create the same amount of attenuation that a notch filter typically does to surgically deal with troublesome frequencies. The EBS' Stanley Clark and MB preamps do have a notch filter, the Bergantino Super Pre uses 'anti-feedback' processing which is useful for acoustic instrumnets struggling with howling and feedback. Another notch filter of sorts, but of the dynamic EQ variety.
  19. Bit too much colour on that Jam pedal though...
  20. Good lord, how did I forget Andy. I think he may be a bit of a busy bee - I've not seen him for a while. Good call, thank you.
  21. It was intense.
  22. Curve were a fantastic band. I wished I'd seen them live.
  23. It definitely in the pocket as snug as a snug thing lol

  25. I went through a bunch of different dirt pedals in a quest to find one I liked, including guitar pedals as well as bass-specific pedals. I ended up with the boss BB-1X bass driver.
  26. Each to their own, I'm not hating on it. it's just that whole generic indie scene of the late '80's was not my cup of tea musically. Most of just sounded like a racket to me. Still does now. I have always been out of step with fashion when it comes to what music I like, though, going back as far as I can remember. That said, I've got some great memories of those days, including going to to gigs by bands like Fudge Tunnel, Silverfish,Galaxy 500 et al with various indie chicks and pretending to enjoy myself. There were some very notable exceptions though, like Curve who I went to see at their first few gigs and who had something very special from the beginning. Only one bass player, but a very, very good one.
