Not too shabby. Played mainly for family and friends, so decided to do the second set on the fretless. I really enjoyed it, and had very favourable comments from the guitarist stood next to my amp about my intonation.

One word of caution though, rosewood splinters really easily, so don't rush the fret removal otherwise you'll end up with ragged edges to the gaps, instead of lovely straight ones.

I always take a recorder to rehearsals, just in case we need it. Nobody ever lets me play it though.

Just watching it on iplayer. The sound changed dramatically towards the end of 'Rock it' (3rd or 4th song in) for the better, almost like the YTS kid found the 'put the bass back in' button...

Just set my telly-box-thing to record the 1/2 Motörhead set (highlights, presumably) and the Lemmy movie afterwards. Now, if only there was a way to record BBC programmes onto the computer... … http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/39019/get-iplayer-automator

Good job. Glad it went well.

Oooh, I'm in. My bitsa Fretless is mostly white... [URL=http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/Mobile%20Uploads/WP_20150626_14_48_43_Pro_zpsu5dwxgpd.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/Mobile%20Uploads/WP_20150626_14_48_43_Pro_zpsu5dwxgpd.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I do this the other way around. At the end of my signal chain is the DHA VT1 that's always on with a gentle amount of drive, and in the middle is my Coloursound bass fuzz clone. Sounds great - better than the other way around to my ears.

Just do it. Jazz elitists will always find something to disagree with.

The problem with reverb pedals is that they are mainly digital units, which have a higher current draw than analogue units. There are some Spring Reverb pedals about (Demeter and Carl Martin make them, amongst others), but they ain't cheap, and they don't sound as natural as digital reverbs, which tend to model 'real' spaces...

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1435245278' post='2806944'] I agree with you . I also think they should've played the set In the reverse order. Crowd faves first . Somebody in here thought that is what woukd happen iirc. [/quote] They did that at Manchester last night - a comprehensive romp through all of the albums (only exception was Antipop) as a trio, then the Wonka set. Encores with the cellist and percussionist were brilliant!

[quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1435183882' post='2806405'] This is true, in an interview just days before the accident, he told a journalist they would have got more melodic and worked with a big name producer, so the black album would probably have gone ahead in a very similar fashion. It's also heavily rumoured that after the European tour that Lars would have been sacked. So the rumour goes, James and Cliff felt limited by Lars' drumming ability and we're looking elsewhere, most keenly on Dave Lombardo from Slayer (who also threatened to walk from slayer around the sa time). Now THAT is a lineup I'd like to see!!! [/quote] I think I read this in Dave Mustaine's autobiography - Hetfield and Hammet didn't fancy losing another 1/4 of the lineup, so they kept Lars after Cliff's death. Since we're dealing in 'what ifs' I'd like to hear Hetfield, Mustaine, Burton and Lombardo with extra Scott Ian!!! Ah well, we can all dream.

Yup, that's the ones.

[quote name='synthaside' timestamp='1435155282' post='2806008'] i'd be happy to just grab it for the hilarious double P J configuration . [/quote] It's ludicrous. got a LOT of gigs coming up with the metal band, so that's what drew me to it. it'd look brilliant on stage. I'd have to hear it first though, might give it a once over.

I'm in a band that does everything in Eb tuning .045" - .105" does it for me.

Just been offered one of these for abut £70. Anyone know anything about them? [URL=http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/other-1521-36725-1-catalog_zpsprhbjtnv.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/other-1521-36725-1-catalog_zpsprhbjtnv.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Needs a good clean and a fairly major setup, just wondered if anyone knew anything about them.

[quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1435083682' post='2805331'] I think Wayne got married, didn't he? That might explain his reduced activity! [/quote] He'll be back when the cake's all gone and the GAS creeps back in...

[quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1434908543' post='2803766'] It's not your band so why bother? If they like their setup then leave them be. I know I'd be peed off if a random bloke said we could improve the sound doing X, Y and Z. [/quote] I know! Rush covers ain't gonna help nobody! getting my coat...

I had a 3leaf filter a while ago (groove regulator) and it was better than ANY EHX filter I've ever used (pretty much every variety of Q-tron, Bass balls etc…).

[quote name='landwomble' timestamp='1434989635' post='2804469'] right-angled neutrik connectors and decent cable are as good as they get as far as I'm concerned. If you solder your own you know they're done right... [/quote] This. I've had the same cable for over 20 years - Neutrik and Van Damme. I use George L's though

I'm at Manchester - 4th time seeing Primus. Cannae wait.
