    Sorry for your loss. Thanks for posting.

    The scale length argument, to me, is poppycock, based on my own experiences. I had a 36" 6 string and a 36" 5 string, and both of their B's were not as focused in sound or tight in feel as the current 34" 5 string I have now. Regarding tension - I've found that the same gauge of string will have less tension if it's strung through the bridge and more tension if it's strung through the body. No scientific reasoning for this, just experience.

    'How much for the little girls? I want to buy your daughters!!!!' *watch The Blues Brothers before reporting me, it's just a tangent*

    PM'd you

    Maybe if Victor was playing whilst juggling, and being on a bike, that might have been impressive? Maybe not. It's a tough crowd out there.

    Funny - from the first note he played I could have sworn that was music. Did I miss a meeting?

    Apparently it eases the tension.

    Well, it seemed an appropriate replacement for 'F*^%ing'. More bumps (and grinds) for undoubtedly quality, cared for gear.

    Oh you shagging tease!!!!

    Well I've just speed-read (or sped-read?) this in the last five minutes. I'm hooked. Give me more........ Tell me what the bass is and no-one gets hurt.

    I've been gigging with either two UL-112's or a UL-310 for about 4 years now. It's tempting to get a UL-410 but I've rarely found myself ever needing it. After re-reading a 1x12 shoot-out from Bass Player magazine a good few years ago, I tried gigging with just one UL-112 (they mentioned something about the difference in hearing your bass come from a single speaker rather than multiples) and I was duly impressed. Clarity and focus of the sound was something else. Me happy camper.

    My quick 2p's worth is that my CIJ 75 Jazz Reissue is of better construction quality than my MIA 2008 American Standard Jazz.

    Hey Bilbo - I can't seem to open the file on my Mac. First time I've come across an ipb file. Any ideas? EDIT - Just found the file on the miguelzenon.com site. Thanks for this.

    Bump for a truly righteous envelope filter. It may be cheap and nasty and not have all the bells and whistles that others offer but that's irrelevant - it's the sound that matters and this thing sounds FILTHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have two, plus a Micro Q-Tron and, for me, they are the absolute of filters. Better than their bigger EHX brothers and, dare I say it - better than the 3 Leaf Audio Proton. I had a Proton and, call me a slag, I just couldn't get it filthy enough. I'm not connected to this sale in any way - I'm just spreading my Q-Tron love all over you

    Lovely lovely. Looks great, and very classy indeed. Thanks for posting.

    [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1325335704' post='1482206'] I'm not saying it works for everyone [/quote] I was getting worried there was a cure until I read this bit - now I return to my old procrastinating ways.

    I've been running 500w at 4ohms heads into my UL310 for about three years now and it is LOUD!!!!

    In case it hasn't been said already - stand beside or in view of the guitarist/keyboard/whoever knows the songs best and keep your eyes glued to them for changes/stops/mouthing the chords, etc. And DON'T PANIC!!!! I had to do this in one afternoon - about 20 songs of all original music (bass player's father took ill) for Duke Special. Just keep your eyes and ears open.

    Damn - I gots to check me out some Bieber. That might just make a Belieber out of me after all.

    [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1324301548' post='1472713'] Markbass and Epifani is a match made in Heaven [/quote] +1 to that. I've run a Markbass F500, F1 and LMK head into my UL310 and UL112 cabs and loved it. Also getting good results with a Genz Benz Streamliner 600, tho need to roll the lows off quite a bit to get some punch.

    Try this one: http://www.bassbooks.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=453 Worth getting for the great playing on the backing tracks. Yes you could program your own progressions, but to me there's a real benefit to be gained from playing along with world class players.

    Not free but it's totally worth getting some of the Jamey Aebersold books. Some of them have accompanying books of transcribed bass lines from the likes of Ron Carter, Rufus Reid, Tyrone Wheeler, Bob Cranshaw and others.

    Bump for an amazing cab. I've been gigging one of these regularly (it'll be out tonight as well) for the past 3+ years and it's never let me down. Played in a LOUD seven piece wedding band with two horns and a ridiculously loud guitarist (but aren't they all? ) and I was never left wanting for more. With a Markbass 500watt head or a Genz Benz Streamliner 600, these cabs can deliver serious volume with clarity and all the dynamics you need. For that price I'd buy it if I didn't already have one.

    Mainland Europe? Not sure, but if you email Jeff Genzler at Genz Benz he'll get back to you pretty quick. Their customer service is everything you've heard it to be.
