  1. Don't need frets for those!
  2. Heh, true. Maybe a 1 string, 1 fret bass with a 42" scale would be better? [only half joking]
  3. You can also right click on the midi item on the Reaper timeline and uncheck "loop item source".
  4. [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1327927622' post='1518818'] Personally I would look at a five string you are comfortable with....opens up a new world. Detuning to a massive extent isn't that great, but there are strings out there built for it. I wouldn't recommend tuning 'up'... [/quote] Tuning up half a step shouldn't be a problem. I probably wouldn't bother unless there's riffs that need the open strings though. [quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1327931739' post='1518941'] tune to the same octave, but eqed to have a complimentary sound, usually in the mids if they are super scooped. In fact, if they are silly scooped and you do it right, you can comletely vanish the guitars which is satisfying. Otherwise Heavy strings and bridge pickup, so you have the low tuning but plenty of harmonics to give some audible. A high pass might be good to not waste power on speaker flap. [/quote] +1
  5. Ah, the first knob is rate. Mistook a k for an H.
  6. The big lettering is Jet Fazer. Not sure of the left hand knob but the others, l-r, are resonance, distortion and sustain. Left hand switch is phaser/vibrato as badgerific says. Right hand switch is something like soft/hard. I can read the Cyrillic alphabet reasonably, but my actual Russian skills are practically non existent. Fortunately most of these are just transliterations of English words!
  7. He's posted another thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/166092-ruach-basses-in-the-make/"]here[/url]. Some lovely looking stuff!
  8. You need to come up with an objective definition of what's tasteful first. There's loads of stuff that gets posted here that I think is sh*t and not particularly tasteful. YMMV.
  9. So it's an OLP by another name?
  10. Maybe try palm muting gently, while popping the note hard? If your pop technique is anything like mine, the side of your hand should come to rest quite naturally on the strings.
  11. [quote name='dood' timestamp='1326932591' post='1504105'] I've recently had the pleasure of gigging with all my fellow Licklibrary tutor guitarists, Andy James, Jamie Humphries, Mike Casswell, Danny Gill and Stuart Bull. Add to the mix, Pin (ex-Sikth) who i worked with in a band for a cuppla years, Steve Smyth (Forbidden/Nevermore/Testament) from a recent project and Jamie Hunt (ex-biomechanical) and the superb Leah Woodward who plays with Pin in the band Aliases, i reckon they are amongst my fave guitarists and friends. They all have their own styles and feel, even if some are in to brutal tech metal! [/quote] Andy James
  12. Oh my. That headless Finn is a little bit special.
  13. Ooh, the Iron Gears do look nice.
  14. I could be interested, what kind of music is he looking at? Originals or covers? Would he object to me bringing the 7 string?
  15. [quote name='AttitudeCastle' timestamp='1327083617' post='1506274'] Cool! What seven string is it? [/quote] It's a Conklin Groove Tools Bill Dickens sig model.
  16. Having a massive neck inlay that continues on the headstock would generally suggest a Chinese eBay special to me, e.g something like [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Inlaid-Strat-style-electric-guitar-Solid-Burl-Maple-SE157-/160703722866?pt=Guitar&hash=item256ab03572#ht_4850wt_1185"]this[/url]. There used to be a bunch of sellers who sold similar things, basically Chinese factory guitars with insane inlays added.
  17. Read the f***ing manual
  18. I had one a while ago- worked fine on bass, could do a great Cliff Burton imitation with the built in fuzzes. Unfortunately that was all I knew how to do with it Didn't notice any [unintended] low end loss. I would definitely consider it if I was after a wah. You really do need to RTFM though, it can be a bit fiddly to set up.
  19. Indeed!
  20. [quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1327000844' post='1505090'] Moffat is a great run on the bike so no excuses there. I like the idea of a Perth bash. Great city and very friendly. Its also pretty central and fairly easy to get to from just about any direction unless you stay in the Hebrides or Orkney. I vote for Perth. Now who is gonna organise it then ??? Dave [/quote] I'm in Dundee for uni so could be up for this, work allowing. Only have one bass with me but it does have 75% more strings so should be OK.
  21. From the site: "YES is the first “acoustic hearted” professional electronic drum kit. A living, beating, intensely yellow-colored Italian heart." *checks date* has their April fool's joke gone live a bit early?
  22. Ha, I enjoyed that very much. Nice shades!
  23. Sold a strap to Chris. Super quick payment, no problem at all. Recommended
  24. I would just file the one you have done a bit. You can pick up a small file from a hardware shop for a couple of quid.
