I applied, never got a reply, perhaps they're trying to tell me something 😄 -
Not mine but just spotted this on Faceache: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17Z5LT9Wuz/?

Haha, that's a good one!

I'd just register my songs with the PRS and put a demo on soundcloud, in fact I register all the bands songs whether I wrote them or not seeing as nobody else can be arsed to register them in their own names

Based on previous year's posts in the "How was your gig" thread it appears that quite a few us are likely to be playing this. So I thought for this year everyone playing could add the venue and time they will be on to this thread. To start us off Hurtsfall will be playing at The Berliner, 6-8 High Road, NG9 4AE at 3.00pm. Tickets for wristbands to get into the venues after 6.00pm are available here. Before 6.00pm it's free. It's also my birthday that day (if that counts for anything). -
Try not to buy to cheap, unless an active bass an active DI is better for passive bass's, Warm make a fantastic mic level multi instrument active DI, 48v Phantom Power, has a level pot for your DI output, very useful, & has a high quality transformer for a better, cleaner sound, works on many instruments from bass to keyboards, guitar, anything needing a good DI signal, Sushi Box Finally V3 DI has a real 12AX7 tube, variable LPF, real RoHS transformer, very handy well made tube DI for bass guitar, i carry a spare active NU-X MLD Pre-amp/DI pedal & a new 9v battery connector to 2.1mm power input incase of a power break & a spare back-up...great switching options & can be used as a re-amp box with a built in drum machine & 3.5mm headphone input, 3.5mm stereo input for your phone or other 3.5mm music player for practise, it can be used as a bass Pre-amp/DI box or just a good direct DI, very good quality.....

Use the nut as a guidance for a more accurate position. Check this file where there is a lot of pickup placements including Fender and Musicman (4 or 5 string pickup is the same position): Pickup Positions For Many Makes Of Bass.xlsx -
Fantastic basses. -
I don't know if it's relevant, but I have a Cort Persona and have problems using a Boss wireless transmitter directly, and it turns out that it's because the output jack is wired in reverse. From the manual: My Cort is the only bass I have that is wired this way. Maybe worth investigating/eliminating? -
I was in a band that bought out an ex-singer's share of the song writing with a proper legal agreement and money changing hands, just so there would be no come backs should anything we wrote whilst she was in the band be successful.

Thanks, that does help, though it provokes GAS as well 😕

Still not passive and phantom isn't always available on some PAs or can't be activated on a per channel basis, which might make some setups difficult to cable. Passive DI boxes are great because you don't have to worry about issues like this or batteries going flat. hey can sit in your equipment bag until they are required and you know they will be fine. I have 6 channels of passive DI I take to gigs for my band. That's one for everything we need and a spare. I wouldn't contemplate an active DI device unless I was in charge of the non-battery power for it.

Yes, great price. Got an absolute bargain. I'd love to get a bit of stability in life (never happens) where I could collect old bass amps from the past and have them in a room or garage for little money. There'll be a time where a lot of the great amps from days gone by will be rare. Even now there's plenty of stellar bass amp manufacturers that have gone for ever (in their original guise - Eden, swr, Warwick, trace, genzbenz, Marshall etc and plenty who don't make transistor amps anymore.

This ⬆️ It's stupid threatening legal action for recording/playing a song you wrote. So long as you have proof you wrote it, just wait for any hint that they are making money from it and then claim the royalties without having to worry about recording or playing it yourself!

Here's a quality on-board pre-amp that I have no need for. It's a Glockenklang and consists of a volume pot, with a push-pull function to select active or passive use, and a stacked bass & treble pot with a centre-detent & knobs. These are £109 new at Bass Direct so I'm asking £70 including UK shipping. My feedback thread is below: -
When I had one of these basses, I treated it to a new pickguard from Adrian Maruszczyk as I wanted a different look. The bass was moved on a few years back but it seems I held on to the original so here it is. The new one cost me £45 so I'm listing this for £30 including UK shipping. My feedback thread is below: -
Aguilar Tonehammer DI boxed with instructions. Some marking to paintwork but fully functional and sounds great! Postage to a Uk address included -
Stick a gold anodised pickguard on it and keep it 😎 -
Again, do you not understand how this place works Jack? -
I'd wait to to see if it became a massive hit before I threatened legal action. Somebody else bears the initial costs and he then reaps the rewards. Mind you the chances of this happening to me involves complex maths with the probability circling zero. More chance of Donald Trump making sense, actually no, I have more chance of writing a number 1 hit than Trump making sense. Rob

Trace Elliot probably stuck the caps on after realising that Geoff Capes was the only human capable of lifting a Trace Elliot 4x10 combo on top of another cabinet.
