[quote name='titchfieldrelic' post='661872' date='Nov 22 2009, 04:03 PM']Perhaps you could answer another question for me?: Personally, I don't like guitar stands, or hooks, where the weight of the guitar is suspended from the thinnest point of the neck. My Stingray weighs nearly 10 lbs. Yet many shops and bass players hang their guitars in this way. Surley the best place to rest the guitar is on the edge of the body?[/quote] i'd imagine the weight of the bass is a lot less than the forces acting on the neck due to the tension in the strings...also hanging it by the end of the neck keeps all the forces acting along the length of the bass, so no warping. i'm not expert tho.

that's a very very nice bass. not sure about the nut, but... yum yum.

[quote name='umph' post='660952' date='Nov 21 2009, 01:02 PM']most likely to do with endorsements[/quote] i wondered about that.

nice p-bass - i like the eskimo look ! my epiphone jack casady's reclining on my sofa at the moment - wired into the swr through my 'fresh-off-ebay' ebs multidrive. aaahhh - friday nights

[quote name='maxrossell' post='657708' date='Nov 18 2009, 12:27 AM']Nah, I saw that too. It's the real deal. You can tell by the size of the handles.[/quote] plus the one - the handles give the scale. bloody nora !!!

i used to, mainly for the live percussion tracks i'd use to spice up drum machines. (i was a fostex 414 fella btw)

[quote name='crez5150' post='626235' date='Oct 14 2009, 04:59 PM']This one is awful - [/quote] that's brilliant "maybe if i try this...? might work..."

i can't offer much, but i frequently get those "oh [i]that's[/i] how it goes.....but WHY ?" moments, so you're not alone !

mainly full-on but occasionally i'll roll a little off if i want to soften up the overdrive i'm using. also to fade out at the ends of songs and a bit of atmospheric 'bowing' if needs be.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='657975' date='Nov 18 2009, 12:05 PM']"...who had colours with rockers..."[/quote] what does that mean ? serious question.

[quote name='phil_the_bassist' post='657254' date='Nov 17 2009, 05:42 PM']is it possibly more a question of what bass suits you, as opposed to what bass suits what style?[/quote] spot on that man ! i think it's a lot to do with the way you feel about the instrument, as well as actual differences.

i didn't know they were made in newcastle ! there used to be a burman 4x 12 (possibly 10) at polestar rehearsal studios... in fact..... yes ! here's a very old picture of me in front of it

recorded many times wit the EBS best sound straight in i've had (missus !)

nothing to add on the shuttle, but i love my BBB - prolly one of the sweetest sounding amps i've ever played through.
