I'm not sure the position of the 3 tone knobs on my amp would translate very well to the 97 knobs on a GB Shuttle 12...  or vice-versa

But Communism is dead and has been for 30 plus years - you need to find something else to blame for the shortcomings of the current system

How did you get from "the alternative is communism..." to communism being to blame ?

I've had very good service for several years now from my Superlux headphones, as have the two sons. A fair range available from Thomann; mine are HD669, which fit your description, and cost just under £24. I wear them a lot, for long periods on occasion, and find them to be very comfortable.
Hope this helps. 

A belated "thanks" !  I bought a pair of these a while ago, on the back of your comments, and I'm very pleased with 'em.

Back on topic: what tracks are folk on this thread using fuzz on? 

Mustang Sally & Moondance, mainly...

Did you notice the Ashdown 4x10 cab with blueline speakers in the room where Ian came up with Spasticus Autisticus? 

Was that an error that only bass nerds would notice or have they actually been around that long? 

1981...some 16 years before Ashdown begun. I think...

If it was to be an "on the house" drink, he did them a favour

He was there in an advisory role, not as a customer.

Don't know about the LH1000, but I've used a LH500 for several years now and have no plans to change. It's a fantastic sounding, simple amp.

I don't really care if a cab is 25kg or 60kg. Either is too heavy. For me.

What other kit have you already got?

I use a little Zoom multiFX - which gives effects, tuner, drum patterns as well - with the other source (phone, MP3 player etc) into its aux input.

I used to rip them off. Tidy all the loose skin up and treat them best I could from there. Theyll be a bit sore playing, but ok.

Whenever I've left them in the past theyve been painful to play with, popped during the gig and blooded the fret board and strings. And then as they're raw it's more painful to play with.

Yup.

That's what I use when I use pick with bass, the 2mm and even 3mm Big Stubbies. For guitar I use 1mm max nylon ones but for bass I find the thicker ones give me a nicer attack.

Same for me - 3mm stubbies

20+ replies, and nobody's said that they like a nice big stiff one. 

You're slacking folks...

Hartkes often have onboard compression- the new class D 800w job certainly does.

 

 

Some, if not all, of the HA series do too.

Zoom B1-on multi-fx, or similar. As well as an aux input you get effects, tuner, drum machine etc...

A pair of 10s have far greater surface area than a single 15.

Are we sure about that ?

500 quid should get you a good used BB1024...

Quite. I really don't care what the guidelines are, I shan't be going to a pub/gig/rehearsal for a long time yet.

Grrrr

I only had one bass for years (20+). Then, for various reasons, I acquired several more.

Now, (apart from the acoustic - which is left lying around for grabbing quickly, and doesn't really count) although I've still got several I only ever use one. The BB1024. 

Googling 'ampeg pf 500 handle' gives fullcompass.com 1st hit, but they're in the US...

Takes me back to my Strowger days - contact files, spring tension gauges...
