  1. [quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1383907660' post='2270586'] I'm not using the RSS feed. I'm actually just reading the ebay page from a typical search URL, extracting links for items, fetching the listings, and then extracting the title from the listing. (The second step is done that way as in the future I might extract other information). Using the RSS feed would probably have been an easier way to do it. [/quote] That's probably more flexible as the rss feed only has a little bit of info in it - I've just recently been experimenting with just grabbing the rss feeds (you just append '&_rss=1' to the end of the search URL) and looking at them together in an rss reader.
  2. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1383507801' post='2265276'] What's with the odd £1.87?? [/quote] Means he's [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/187_(slang)"]making a killing[/url]....
  3. [quote name='Badass' timestamp='1383305832' post='2262852'] Pu the flags out......Getting email notes again [/quote] +1
  4. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321237144196"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321237144196[/url] But what is it actually?
  5. Bought some connectors. Sent fast. Brilliant, thank you!
  6. would be interested in the pins and tree if you'll split..?
  7. My hands aren't anywhere near big enough to play an octave with index and ring on left hand - I use index on the low string, and on the high string have the little finger fretting the note with my other two fingers behind the little finger helping it push the high string down. That way i'm not stretching or pushing too hard and my hand is in a natural octave shape. YMMV (your mitts may vary)
  8. [quote name='floFC' timestamp='1380979778' post='2233062'] Topo Morto, that's a bit advanced for me! Little finger! I just need to be comfortable enough to play basic octaves. [/quote] It's more that I'm sh*te and need as many fingers on call as possible in the hope that one of them might be able to make it in time!
  9. Usually : ring finger for the low note; index and middle for the high occasionally : little finger for the low note; ring, index and middle to have fun on the high note. also occasionally : thumb for low note, all 3 'big' fingers together for high, in a crab-like pincer motion another thought would be - why not combine slap and finger style? with the right bass, setup and maybe a bit of compression, slap doesn't have to be loads louder than finger style...
  10. How do you clever people know these things?
  11. Woolly mammoth + LPF set to 100 Hz. Or turn down the tone control a little and shove a sock under the strings next to the bridge.
  12. "Collection in person" + "Not obviously sought-after item" maybe?
  13. That demo doesn't sounds as good as I remember their original bass distortion being (I quite liked that). Probably just the recording. But am I right in thinking it only has 2 user presets?
  14. Bought some pickups, arrived in less than 24 hours, feel a bit guilty it'll take me considerably longer to get round to sticking them in! Thanks.
  15. [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1378974649' post='2207148'] I presume the tube is cut away at the back to allow your hand in. [/quote]Aha. I wondered if a 'two notes' approach to bass might be a metaphor for the 'projectiles' approach to solving the world's problems!
  16. Bought a Zoom effect - and no sooner had I done so than whoomp, there it was. Great stuff, many thanks.
  17. Wonder if there could be a win/win available offering a little more and going easy on him?
  18. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1378638954' post='2202605'] [size=4]*Punch in arm*[/size] [/quote] That wasn't very discreet. aargh dammit!
