They must still do them on custom order (If you're a big enough name for EB to do custom orders for you) as Jay only seems to have had his for a few years at most. Before that it was a Stealth model, or a Sandberg. Liam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ0VG2pIv3M Full demo there. I can understand the change to a maple neck for cost purposes, to keep it in line with their guitar range. Still quite impressive specs for what i expect it to cost. The larger control cavity is a good idea too, something i'm surprised isn't more common. Liam

Just bought what i can only guess is the above mentioned MXR M80 off Johnny. A pleasure to deal with and the fastest delivery i've had in a while. Liam

I mostly try to stick with Manchester Academy, Apollo and The Ritz, which are all sub 4000 capacity venues i believe. I do occasionally stray to the MEN (Or Phones 4 You arena as it's now called) but still try to stay with a standing ticket, as i hate sitting down all night at gigs. Liam

I do the same thing with my TU-2 and JH-1, so i can't see you having any issues really. Liam

Always flat for me, unless the room requires any different, if i'm actually using an amp that is. Liam

Peavey IPR are pretty well regarded, decent power and damn good prices. Liam

If you're intending to use both cabs at once, get another BC212. It's usually best to get a matching cabinet so that would be your best option IMO. Liam

Dawsons is pretty good in Manchester, and if you're into pianos and acoustic guitars, then Forsyths is enough to kill an hour or two wandering around. Liam

My band have just released our first EP which is on our soundcloud and available for free download if you so desire. [url="https://soundcloud.com/alittlebitoutlaw"]https://soundcloud.com/alittlebitoutlaw[/url] Liam

For small action cameras GoPro is the the main one, with good reason. They can be quite pricey if you go for the 3+ Black Edition and any extra bits and pieces, but the older ones work just as well in most cases. Contour are the other main brand but i'm not sure on pricing or quality on those. Liam

Evening ladies and gents, My band A Little Bit Outlaw have just released our first track in quite a while and a music video to match. A very bass led track too, though a strange video. Have a look if you like. The EP is available for free on our soundcloud and bandcamp with limited physicals available. Thanks, Liam http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XRMW9tSu1s

Nurse Nurse! Kiwi's got out again!! I think i'm going to have to make a journey to test that Crafter in the Music Cellar (Not without a phone call first of course. Not sure where you got Stockport from though Skank, they're in Preston. Much easier to get to. Liam

What software are you recording with? You shouldn't be having any problems whatsoever getting a good tone with a good quality interface like that Presonus. Liam

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1394483995' post='2391892'] [b]Taylor T5[/b] [b]Crafter SA - Circa £500-550[/b] Bout-mounted controls / pick-up in neck position. Maybe worth a try? [/quote] I've just been looking at these. So far from youtube stuff it sounds quite nice, but it seems they aren't too easy to get my hands on one to test anywhere around here annoyingly. Liam

I made the mistake of trying a Taylor T5 (Hollowbody electric/acoustic hybrid thing of beauty) on saturday and now i want one, but as is often the case, £1900 is out of my budget. Anyone have any suggestions as to alternatives? Liam

I'm going to be using my camera bag (Lowepro Classified 200aw. £50 on amazon and huge) from now on. It's all compartmented in the main section with adjustable dividers, plus there's 4 more pockets on the front/rear. Liam

Dunlop Dual Design for me, though i could get away with the grolsh washers as each bass has its own strap. Liam

Nice and manly of course. I'd also have the same in white probably too. Liam

Personally, a Fractal Axe FX II with MFC-101. That would sort out pretty much everything for me, maybe running into a VT Bass Rack for some proper bass amp sim. Liam

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZplUPSiYpQA We should enter Geraldine and be done with it. Atleast it'd be funny. Liam

Done. Hope my answers aren't as useless as i thought they were Liam

It can work in very rare situations, but 99% of the time, it looks as cheap and tacky as a white pickguard on a black bass (IMO of course) Liam

[quote name='dazpainter' timestamp='1392802590' post='2372823'] by the way, can I post videos on this site? is there a facility for uploading / viewing video tutorials and suchlike ? [/quote] The usual process is to upload to youtube and then just pop the link in a post. You'll get much better sound quality with a USB interface over the built in sound card. In my experience they tend to struggle with any sort of decent level and just sound sh*te. Ps. If it's the lack of a start menu that's causing you issues in Win8, install IOBit Start8, it'll give you the start menu back like most people are used to. Liam
