Nah, it's just a pathetic cliched insult thrown around by (usually) right wing pseudo-macho keyboard warrior types in a fit of pique at their inability to deal with the rapidly changing modern world, which they perceive as threatening their way of life, their fragile little egos, and ultimately their complete lack of self worth. It probably gives them a little frisson of excitement when the say it, they may even become mildly aroused and as they verbally lay into someone they perceive as being less tough than them, in the same way they probably enjoyed pulling the wings off flies when they were an unhappy child. That's the problem I have with it.6 points

When people say tried and tested Stingray do they mean the slab three-bolt, the contiured four-bolt, the contoured six-bolt 2eq, the contoured six-bolt 3eq or the slab six-bolt 2eq? The Stingray has been continually improved since it was released, not one of them has been a let down. These are smart refinements by a company who don’t usually get it wrong, why such groundless negativity when none of us have even played one yet? Silly.4 points

It's been suggested that we get the site's profanity filter amended to turn the hackneyed and frankly boring 'snowflake' into something more innocuous and daft. I think it's a great idea, because quite frankly I am sick of the sight of that bloody word.3 points

None here, either. I'm not keen on any notices at all, in fact.2 points

I have a Line 6 Sonic Port, and have managed to get the latency down so it’s not an issue (and I’m sensitive to it like you). Most audio apps have latency settings in the menus but they usually adjust have fairly generic descriptions like high, medium and low. I discovered a trick however where you can drop it as low as 64 samples (1.5ms at 44.1kHz) if you run Audiobus with your chosen app inside it! You adjust the latency within Audiobus then everything gets locked to that setting. The Zoom is much less faffing about though, but the iOS route is worth considering if you hadn’t thought of it before, especially since you’ll be able to record with it.2 points

Oddly enough all the people I know who use the term (and by extension go on long protracted rants about soft lefties and how we need to take our country back etc.) are usually overweight middle aged blokes who couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag and would be blowing out of their @rse running up a flight of stairs. Maybe the hyper-macho posturing is compensating for something?2 points

People who use the term "snowflake" probably also say "Twenty four seven" (5 syllables) instead of "All the time" (3) and refer to inanimate objects as "bad boys".2 points

I went to see Public Service Broadcasting last year and they do a thing before the show starts; they played a pre-recorded thing saying 'a few photos is fine, but no one really wants to watch your blurry, distorted camera phone footage.' This met with a huge cheer. It was almost as if that statement simply ridiculed the proposed usage...I saw one or two people taking stills, but that was about it.2 points

Up for sale is my stunning 1988* Warwick Streamer Stage 1. Hand made in Germany. Now includes a hard case for safer shipping and price dropped to £850. shipping is £12.50 to mainland UK, £35 to most of EU, £55 to most of the rest of the world. Includes full insurance and tracking. There is no serial number on this so it is impossible to age it precisely but talking to various people on here who are very knowledgeable on all things Warwick it could have been made as early as '86 and as as late as 88' so ive gone for the 88' to be safe - also, from what I saw of the bass when it was being stripped, the woods looked identical to those on this '88 Streamer Stage 1( making it maple body with a wenge/maple neck): https://reverb.com/uk/item/2569081-rare-vintage-warwick-streamer-stage-1-1988-aguilar-on-board-preamp-emg-p-j Professionally refinished in a stunning gloss white by local luthier who also repaired the minor neck crack(which is a typical bug bear of these older pre-volute Warwicks from what I know - see the reverb ad above - the crack is almost identical!). This bass is all original except for the battery box which is a replacement from Warwick, the output jack, the pre-amp and pots (which are almost brand new MECs from a Warwick Fortress (the pre is a 2 band act/pass, bass, treb afair)). The frets were leveled and crowned by the same local luthier as well and it has received a full setup and new d'addario strings. The frets are down to about 50% from what I can see - see photos. Truss rod and electronics work perfectly! Neck profile and relief/action details (as best I can measure): Width @ nut 40mm Width @ 12th Fret 55mm Width @ 24th Fret 62mm Depth(front to back measured from fretboard) @ nut 23mm Depth @ 12 fret 23mm Depth @ 19th fret (before it joins the body) 27mm Relief(meaured at 7th fret with string fretted @ 1st and @ 20th frets) : 0.15" / 0.381mm Action @ 24th Fret 2.5mm - 1.75mm E - G Specs to the best of my knowledge: Maple body, wenge/maple neck, 24 bell brass frets, Mother Of Pearl dots front and side, brass Just a Nut I, solid brass Warwick 3D bridge, Schaller machine heads, Schaller straplock buttons, Warwick/MEC 2 band(bass and treble) EQ with active/passive with push pull volume. Weight is a very comfortable 4kg according to the kitchen scales though I swear it feels much lighter. The brass hardware including the screws, knobs, bridge nut etc. were all a heavily tarnished gold finish when I first got the bass so I shot blasted to reveal what i think is a pretty cool nickel looking colour. Paint finish is rather nice with only some minor blemishes on the front of the headstock that you can only see on very close inspection and the repaired neck crack is still visible under the paint as shown in the photos. The only other blemishes are the scratches on the cavity cover and the original varnish on the side of the fretboard is peeling away in some places but this cannot be felt underhand. I'm based nr Dudley, West Midlands Now includes a used but perfectly functional hardcase for safe shipping within the UK. If you need it shipping internationally I can add a brand new flight case at cost(£65) for safe international shipping.1 point -

Hi Folks Up for sale our Behringer X Air 18 Digital Mixer, also comes with a notebook loaded with the software, so essentialy plug n play ready. Im after £450 which is about £100 off new plus we'll throw in the tablet which cost £50. Its about a year old, done about 30 gigs no problems, in very good condition. Reason for selling? Well, we're a pretty straightforward rock 3 piece and this is beyond our comfort zone, there's a lot of possibilities here that we don't have the time or patience to master so we want to go back to analogue desks, all we need is a little reverb on the vocals and thats it, this does a whole, whole lot more. Willing to shift a little on the price but please no p*ss taking! Thanks for looking!1 point -

I'm not sure that I agree with that - if your sound is boomy due to a hollow stage, and HPF can tame the boom, similarly if you want more punch and less mud, an HPF plus bass boost can fix that for you. In both cases you can hear the difference. David1 point

Sure thing Haz, but i'd better mention that the free postage is for the UK. Having said that, if you decide you want them, i'll find out the cost of postage to the Netherlands and then reduce that by the cost of UK postage. For example, if the cost to NL was £20, i can reduce that by say, £3, the cost of posting in the UK. PS i just grabbed £20 out of the air. I would expect it to cost you less than that.1 point -
Paul will make anything you ask. I presume there would be some form of charge. Normal nut width on a 4 string is 42mm and the neck profile is a soft V shape.1 point

I have a Thumpinator. I can't say I can tell any difference in tone apart from less cone movement but it makes me less afraid to crank my amp up! You already mentioned the amp aspect but worth noting that plenty of amps such as Genz Benz already feature a fixed HPF so a separate one would be unnecessary. If you typically push your amp/cab to its limits to get enough volume then you may find one beneficial. Plus it gives you an excuse to get a pedal board and find more pedals to connect to that power supply!1 point

The negativity is an observation on the perceived conservative nature of the customer base, not on the company or the new bass itself. There's a reason bass manufacturers continue to offer sunburst, black and white finishes. You have to tread carefully when it comes to innovation, because people will constantly tell you they want change, but what they actually want are a few small changes that benefit them specifically, and for everything else to remain exactly as it was, for eternity, never having to change or compromise their own behaviour in any way whatsoever.1 point

For sale: two Barefaced One10 speaker cabs at £300 each. UPDATE 30th Jan: both now sold The manufacturer's site is here: https://barefacedbass.com/product-range/one10.htm , but the key features are: LOUD small: 38cm x 29cm x 28cm light: 7kg I have two available, both in very good condition. There are a couple of really very minor scuffs. Included in the £300 price is your choice of: either a branded Roqsolid slip cover or a World Rhythm cajon case which the One10 fits nicely into, leaving a spare 12cm x 30cm x 30cm at one end - perfect for a typical class D head, or some cables etc. I can also throw in, if wanted, an angled stand. The cab(s) are available to collect from me in south-west London (near Wimbledon), or I could possibly drive a short distance to meet up. I also have plans to be in Salisbury and Brighton over the next few weeks, if that helps. I have one suitable box, so I could post one of the cabs at cost (£20). I could potentially source a second box, but would do this by request rather than pre-emptively. (N.B. the angled stand doesn't fit in the box, so I can't post that.) There is a set of 11 photos here: https://imgur.com/a/3M8KD My marketplace feedback: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/159971-jrixn1/ Happy to answer any questions or take additional specific photos.1 point -

I think the problem with 'snowflake' as a term of of abuse is just that it's just a generic catch all term for anyone who challenges your opinion. It lacks imagination and creativity. Proper verbal abuse should be carefully and personally tailored to every individual you wish to insult.1 point

Although they do not bother me as much as other people... I don't get the obsession and I'd rather people refrained from constantly filming everything. However, the pouch thing, I'm not sure I like it... it seems an unnecessary extra that will definitely make money for someone, and I detest being treated like a child. My phone is with me most times and I'll bring it to the gig, but it stays in my pocket. I don't appreciate having to queue again for a stupid pouch thing and being treated like I'm in kindergarden. There are behaviours that annoy me far more than telephones: people throwing their plastic beer glasses (not empty) above me and sometimes partially on me, people who feel the need to test their strength by pushing everybody around (it's very tempting to turn and show them that I'm probably a hell of a lot stronger than them), people who dance like they're alone and end up punching the bodies around them (again, so tempting to place a single well aimed fist... and see them drop to the ground... but I control myself, for now)... people 'crowdsurfing'... It used to be that there was an area where those activities would happen but you could easily avoid them without having to stay at the back. I find that more and more if you want to be close to the stage, you need to endure that. So... you want me to have that, and wear a sodding pouch for my mobile as if I were a 5 year old? Is that how we really want to do things?1 point

What makes you think I'm a snowflake, any posts in particular you'd like to quote or is it just something you (incorrectly) assumed? Have a little look through my posts on the thread eh? "Back in the day" people didn't bother about a lot of things - our nation did disgusting things in the name of colonialism, we didn't let women vote, our police force openly ignored racist violence because they themselves were influenced by institutionalised racism - these were all seen as normal. Things change, some things which middle aged white guys used to get away with at the expense of others are no longer acceptable, it's just something you're going to have to deal with. The good old days were only good for a certain demographic, no point romanticising over that. Where did I overreact again? You've quoted me twice now and still can't seem to articulate a specific point and resort to incorrect assumptions and generalisations. Why not have another go, third time lucky eh?1 point

At one of our Bass Bashes I contacted loads of companies - D'Addario, Strings'n' Things and a couple of others donated stuff for the raffle - Warwick? Sweet FA and were rude about it too.." we could run our own event" but they never have...Fack'em I say!! I'll take fair offers on the Streamer..1 point

I joined a ska band about a week ago, had my first gig with them on Saturday. A quick 45 minute set at an indoor event, it was an ideal introduction. Had a whale of a time, loved it. They have a big following and so there was a very decent crowd, all up and dancing from the B of the bang. Set list was: The Prince 007 Gangsters Is This Love? Israelites Ghost Town Tears Of A Clown A Message To You Rudy On My Radio No No No Baggy Trousers Special Brew Night Boat To Cairo I've really enjoyed learning these songs; I was already familiar with them, as ska was the sound of my youth and I've always loved it, and it was great to finally play it. There are some wonderful basslines in there -- my personal highlights are Ghost Town and the utterly gorgeous Is This Love?. Next gig is in two weeks; a longer one this time, more songs to learn!1 point
