i'd always assumed it was hot glue gun glue.

[quote name='Spoombung' post='678002' date='Dec 8 2009, 03:05 PM']It's just an 'it' to me.[/quote] plus the one. it's a touch mawkish imho

time for a band chat methinks. i've always thought it's a good band exercise to play as quietly as possible now and again.

now that's lovely. i'd be over that like a rash if i didn't have basses to get rid of all ready !!

[quote name='budget bassist' post='675686' date='Dec 6 2009, 01:53 PM']...but not so high that the magnets affect the strings...[/quote] plus the one. my sabre had the front pickup set very high when i got it and the sound was very much affected by the proximity of the pickups to the strings. MM's sure have a lot of pull from those treetrunks of polepieces !!

that's a lovely set of basses you've got there. not sure which one's nicer....the geddy lee or the waterstone !

i've used both the boss syb-5 and syb-3 and the syb-3 is far superior imho (although you do have to tighten up your playing to get it to trigger correctly...ok - [b]I[/b] had to tighten up my playing !! ) although listening to 'cars', you could prolly get a good sound with something fuzzy like a mxr blowtorch (which has quite a 'synthy' sound) and a chorus (and possibly an octaver, as thefunk suggested). i've had no experience of any of the other pedals mentioned, so i can only really talk about the boss units. i think a little goes a long way in this kind of situation.

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='676295' date='Dec 6 2009, 11:17 PM']At least show [b][i]several [/i][/b]crap, out-of-focus photographs. [/quote] quantity not quality !! i know what you mean tho - it does just make you think they're hiding something.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='676291' date='Dec 6 2009, 11:14 PM']Is the wrong answer.[/quote] that so ?

i like 'em, but yellow's no colour for a bass.

i'm not sure i'd be happy about using secondhand earplugs...

[quote name='jim_bass' post='675641' date='Dec 6 2009, 01:13 PM']Nice reference man - [/quote] at least someone here has some taste !

there's a warwick buzzard for sale on basschat - not period-correct i guess, but should get a good ox-y sound.

a dukla prague away kit... off course !

what a lovely thing to do. merry christmas !!

at the moment it's the warwick double buck i bought from project c. lovely player - the neck's a bit larger than i' used to, but it seems to improve my hand position. pics to come.

that seems a bit extreme to me, but then i'm no luthier. every now and again when i'm changing strings i'll give the fretboard a clean with a wee bit of lemon oil. seems to work for me.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='671882' date='Dec 2 2009, 09:55 AM']Ah sorry, i thought you were having a larf. No offence meant. The sound meters aren't for the staff, its normally to keep the locals happy.[/quote] ok...fair doos

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='671869' date='Dec 2 2009, 09:45 AM']Its normally some old bloke 2 miles down the road who turns his hearing aid right up and sticks his head out of the window that complains. Maybe the venues could offer to double glaze all the houses in the local area. just an even more random thought.[/quote] um...ok. i was just musing.
