[quote name='Badass' timestamp='1446119339' post='2897013'] Bought mine online via this site: [url="http://www.axesrus.co.uk/login.asp"]http://www.axesrus.co.uk/login.asp[/url] [/quote] You know, I was sure I'd got Artec preamps from Axerus before, but couldn't find them on the site last night....but you're right....Doh ! [url="http://www.axesrus.co.uk/SE3PA-3-band-EQ-system-p/se3p-a.htm"]http://www.axesrus.c...em-p/se3p-a.htm[/url] Blimey, the link I posted doesn't work either...I can see I was firing on all cylinder last night. Sorry !

You could try dropping this lot a line... EDIT http://lifelongmusic.co.uk/shop/artec-se3p-bass-and-guitar-electronics-board

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1445941539' post='2895522'] Lets hope I'm wrong. It would make me feel better about people [/quote] Seeing as I'll never likely know, it's best to assume it went no further than the cutting room floor.

I imagine they do it cos it looks like people expect it to look. It's TV....it's a spectacle, not an Open Univeristy course.

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1445937471' post='2895472'] a.) a bit off treatment there I think b.) someone getting live bass recorded for free? [/quote] Live bass for free ? Possibly....seems a /very/ long-winded way of doing it tho, but I guess some might be that devious.

[quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1399970615' post='2449370'] What drives folk to post videos of themselves playing bass covers, for all the world to see? [/quote] Don't know, don't care....if it makes them happy fine.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1445545253' post='2892370'] Czukay/Leibezeit - just to get the totally obscure out of the way. [/quote] Very definitely.... Worth a mention are Hooky and Stephen Morris from Joy Division....I've met a few drummers who've really rated Morris' playing and agree with them. Maybe not 'best' like Peart/Lee, but still great together.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1445542496' post='2892340'] You're comparing a Precision to a Jazz, the P will always be deeper and fuller! [/quote] Here be truth.

This one's legit - look, it's got his name all over it.

It's not just drummers, I was at my weekly 'folk jam' last night...the set-up is bass (through a 15w amp), violin, 12-string and 6-string acoustics. The 6-string player goes straight into mad busking volume, which there's no need for in someone's living room. Thankfully the violinist is very good at moderating his volume. Last night I did end up asking him to calm down a bit as we couldn't hear the 12-stringer.

They look suspiciously like they were written by a guitarist.

'Tears of a Clown' - when you get that rolling verse groove going it's hard not to smile.

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1445104591' post='2888865'] Who reads the comments? You'd be better off reading the daily mail or the comments on the BBC News website. Either that or join a conversation with me in off topic. [/quote] Oooooh, what y'like ?

[quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1445187924' post='2889441'] He probably bought it from Thomann a couple of days ago. [/quote] As a Deko

Maybe he'll play it on the TV show....maybe not. I think you're supposed to enter into the spirit of a charity auction and that it being "one of Sting's basses" is a generous description for the sake of raising some money. He is going to sign it, that adds some value to it.

[quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1445169828' post='2889228'] It is indeed very similar to the 'what is art' thread a year or two ago, but with the slight qualification that this isn't quite the same type of question. [/quote] To me it's a similar question in that it's ultimately just a talking point - there is no answer other that "I find it so"

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1445168208' post='2889213'] It's all about subjective perception, really. [/quote] Show me an objective perception !

[quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1445167072' post='2889196'] "A sound is musical if..." [/quote] ... I consider it so. It's a bit like 'What is art ?' - the ultimate answer is "It is what we say it is"

Looks great - very nicely done.

[quote name='3below' timestamp='1445120966' post='2889017'] Be bold on a new day when you are feeling on form. [/quote] Good advice.....I'd always start a big project early in the day

Splendid. A thumbs-up from me and Mrs. Pook

I'd try the Precision first, but give them a spin on them all.

I know a member called xilddx has his chrome streamer on sale here a couple of years ago....the search function should dig up the thread.
