  1. I've fallen on to a stage, in very dramatic style mid song. Smacked my head on a cymbal stand on the way down, and the singer didn't even notice.
  2. I was taught that it's Tiny (E&B ) Average (G&D) Big (A&E) when i was first shown it in school. Would explain why some people see it as an acronym rather than shortened verson of Tablature. *edited for failure to remember basic English.
  3. I'm guessing there is a fair few, but it's hardy to find a band as a flashy bass player than as a flashy guitarist.
  4. You can probably find a used Line 6 G30 for less than that. That seems to be the standard on the cheaper end at the moment.
  5. My Squier Deluxe Jazz V is either 18 or 19mm. I never had any issues whatsoever transferring between that and my P bass.
  6. I've just got tickets for the second Bullet For My Valentine night in Manchester (They're playing The Poison in full) and Yellowcard with Normandie. That makes 12 gigs for the year so far.
  7. [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1467575799' post='3084669'] I'm probably unusual in that while I'm still interested in guitars & basses I don't actually play them anymore. [/quote] I'm the same. My main bass has been out of operation for 4-6 weeks now and i haven't even bothered fixing it yet. Had a dabble on my acoustic guitar over the weekend, but i can go months at a time without touching them.
  8. [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1465473554' post='3068538'] Men Imitating Machines next week. They are doing a tour and well worth watching. [/quote] I saw these at some point last year in Bolton. They were certainly an interesting band to watch whilst slightly drunk. They were both wearing superhero outfits too if memory serves me correctly.
  9. Just bought a watch from Paul. Easy and simple, just as these things should be.
  10. For me it was, and will be if i start gigging again, a case of being able to plug in to whatever was there, be it my amp, a provided amp, or just a DI, and get the same tone. Plus i'm lazy and carrying a preamp is a lot easier than a full rig.
  11. EBS_Freak. Where are you sir?! In the meantime, there's a lot of useful info in [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/205633-in-ear-monitors-help-needed/"]here[/url].
  12. I ended up replacing mine with an MXR M80 but it still works fine and still does the job. For £20-£30 it's more than up to the task.
  13. Ideally you want something with a blend between the PC signal and the incoming bass. I've got a [url="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lexicon-Alpha-Studio-Audio-Interface/dp/B000HVXMNE"]Lexicon Alpha[/url] that i use for just this purpose. Not too bad for recording with either.
  14. Click your name in the top right then go to settings. Should be all in there.
  15. A more agressive sound when i need it and i found it easier when i was gigging. I do routinely swap between pick and fingers though, even in the same song sometimes.
  16. A prime example the opposite way is the ESP Ben Weinman signature. Flame top, See-Thru Black finish, Evertune bridge, all of which aren't available stock, and i believe they even did a run that had the facilities for built in wireless like he runs. That is how a sig should be done.
  17. [quote name='adledman' timestamp='1460126162' post='3022849'] if you have not tried any high end iem`s then you wont believe just how good they are. ive had westone 3 and 4`s and was blown away by the sound they produce. you wont be sorry! [/quote] I'll second this. Sat here with triple drivers in right now and it's such a wonderful sound.
  18. [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1461092089' post='3031435'] Squints... PSM 300, LD1000... XSW, X32, Kemper. I like this game :-) [/quote] Pair of PSM300's, Trio of XSW wireless mics, X32 Rack, Kemper Rack, new defunct LD1000, Macbook pro, some patch pays and a Virgin Media Superhub. I think.
  19. [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1460460005' post='3025867'] Tonyf - we need more rack porn IEM setups in this thread! [/quote] Does this count? Clearly not just in ears, but still, it looks good. Belongs to a couple of mates of mine, and is essentially their entire setup.
  20. '94 or '95 Squier Jazz. Black/Rosewood. I sold the body and neck to someone on here a few years back. Sometimes wish i hadn't. Still have the first one i paid any money for though.
  21. More and more people are now moving toward silent stages, but i can't see an entirely silent gig taking off myself.
  22. Does anyone in here use their IEM's for general listening as well? If so, do you find they benefit from being pushed a bit harder. My ACS' seem to sound clearer and more defined when i push them with a bit more volume than i generally would.
  23. I thought the same as EBS_freak above. With it not being too complicated it would be very easy to switch to a board. Having said that, i'm pretty sure you can remove the HA series from their enclosures and rackmount them anyway.
  24. [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1459514324' post='3017303'] I started on guitar and still play it a bit, both plectrum and finger picking. On bass I use one or two fingers, occasionally a pick, and occasionally thumb and two fingers - for some reason I don't do thumb and three fingers like I do on guitar. There's no one right way, just be prepared to experiment with technique for each song. [/quote] He uses two most of the time, occasionally will use all 4 as one giant finger though. I mostly use two or a pick, though i would say it's worth being able to play with three, just because triplets are easier and it can help in faster sections, but it isn't an essential.
  25. I say gold anodized. Still tempted to get one for mine as well.
