I'm still struggling to think of a Capo question I've always wanted an answer to...

Ours comes bundled with our PLI. I don't remember the ins and outs of it all but we've been with Zurich for many years, never made a claim and our premium has come down to less than £70 a year.

This is generally what happens if you just replace 'broken' parts without ascertaining what made them break in the first place. The original fault is still there and your new power trannies will go the same way as the original ones unless you get it sorted out by a competent amp tech.

Good grief! Is this [b]Give an Aged Thread A Home Week[/b]?

I have the same problem Chris - I'm guessing you're using IE10 as well? It's a glitch that is awaiting a fix from the company that provides the core software. In the meantime, the workaround that I use is to flick over to basic editing mode - the little lightswitch icon on the far LH side of the editing bar.

Well looking at their Wikipedia entry, Rush have been going for a couple of years now and made a few albums. I'm guessing they aren't too worried about what people think.

[quote name='odysseus' timestamp='1368561350' post='2078655'] Awesome. Can I send one to Bobby Dall? [/quote] Possibly, but I'm notoriously bad at knowing who bass players are so I have no idea who Bobby Dall is.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1368552491' post='2078485'] I realise I'm in the minority here, but I can't really wear clothing that proclaims my love of anything, or having a witty remark printed on it or whatever.[/quote] I'm in that minority as well. I'll wear 'branded' clothing if it relates to a workplace thing, but that's about it. Having said that, I wouldn't wear it, but I do find this funny:

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1368547751' post='2078357'] Of course... what we all really want is one of these.... [url="http://www2.solidstatelogic.com/#&panel1-1&panel2-1"]http://www2.solidsta...nel1-1&panel2-1[/url] [/quote] Is that off the new Star Trek movie?

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1368554227' post='2078512'] I used to use Superwound Funkmasters 30-90 when I was in my serious slapper days. [/quote] I still have a set of those on one of my lesser used basses.

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1368547364' post='2078350'] I'm an up slapper [/quote] I need to go and have a lay down somewhere cold and dark.

What you really need is a 3.5mm stereo plug wired to a 1/4" mono plug (so the L and R channels are both connected to the tip of the 1/4" plug). You might have problems connecting your turntable to the tape inputs though - it really depends on the impedance of cartridge you have on your turntable.

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1368540989' post='2078217'] My teacher says that my technique is improving, but I want to be able to practice it for longer before I have to give in to the throbbing!! [/quote]

I'm not actually 'anti' slap - it's fine and good in the right context. At a rough guess, I'd say that you're probably hitting the string harder than you actually need to.

It's natures way of protecting the rest of us...

Do the changes go to Voicemail if the mobile network goes down?

[quote name='AngelLaHash' timestamp='1368533260' post='2078049'] I dont know what to think as most Electicals SHOULD have a Protective Coating from Water, (salt water im not that sure about and standing in Water for long time) [/quote] The components have, but the circuit boards they sit on don't. Water, particularly water from a flood, will have impurities in it which can, and generally will, provide a path to a short circuit as soon as they are powered up. The answer is to remove the electronics completely from the bass and do NOT be tempted to power it up as this will definitely destroy something. You'll need to remove all traces of water and the contaminants that were in it - I'd probably get a bottle of meths and just drop the whole lot into that. It'll remove the contaminants and displace any remaining water with a fast evaporating alternative. Meths can leave a 'film' and, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what it is. It does come off with switch cleaner and a 1" paintbrush though. Once everything's been washed down, dried out and reassembled then you stand a chance of fault finding.

With 30+ years of playing I can accurately 'clone' what someone else has done, but often find it somewhat frustrating as I have to battle against changing the bass line to put my 'stamp' on it. Most of the time people are just happy for me to play like me.

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1368451327' post='2077189'] You heard me.... Wheelbarrow, yoghurt, it's that simple. [/quote]

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1368450306' post='2077166'] Last time we gave YOU a platform to express yourself on you scarred Dood for life [/quote] That was an accident and I did change his dressings when the local witch was too drunk to do it...

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1368449641' post='2077142'] You mean that you don't have the power to say whatever you want? I certainly do. [/quote] Only if you are given a platform to express yourself on.

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1368444040' post='2077031'] Nope, it's a wheelbarrow, freedom of yoghurt is curtained by dribbling into terracotta, lupins etc. etc. [/quote] What?
