And, for me at least, so is Firefox.

[quote name='Tait' post='1144869' date='Feb 28 2011, 07:52 PM']Well, it's working for me on internet explorer. It'll be interesting to see if anyone else is having problems with Firefox?[/quote]

[quote name='Magnolia' post='1139054' date='Feb 23 2011, 07:44 PM']I have just been told that both a fretless and 5'er will be with us in April.

Both, I shall be getting [/quote]
Argh! Just when I'd convinced myself that that I had too many (or even enough) basses.

I'm just back from a rehearsal when I put my RV4 through my new MXR DI+ and totally loving it. The action on the E string is just a bit low, and the rattle was sounding great! So now I'm going to bring the other strings down to meet it... and I only have one fretless at the moment, which needs a bit of work, so I'll need another one for when it goes into the hospital, won't I?

Interesting... I see it recommends 2Gb of RAM, and presumably that's on top of everything else. Is there a reference somewhere with recommended minimum machine specs, e.g. if I want to record X tracks at sample rate Y, I need a machine with this spec ABC...

Was interesting to hear Brian Robertson, who by his own admission was out of it for a lot of the time, state categorically that he didn't overdub any parts Mind you I'm not sure I care. It's still one of the great albums.[/quote]
Watched it yesterday too. I laughed at that part - I thought Visconti made a more credible witness than Robbo!

Sean sold me an MXR DI pedal, good stuff and no problems!

Bad Monkey looks like just the thing to try for the OP - especially at around £40 delivered new.

For me, I have the "tube tone" on the TC head which is pretty good. But I use an old combo which I keep at the guitarist's house for rehearsing, and it would be [i]nice[/i] to have everything tickety-boo before it hits the amp.

Sansamp BDDI looks good - but I also love the clean tone of the MXR with the "color" button down, so I think the MXR has a place on my board regardless - and getting a BDDI (giving the option to DI from the BDDI, the MXR or the TC!) [i]as well[/i] would be OTT, wouldn't it?

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='1136037' date='Feb 21 2011, 07:32 PM']Well done Phil. I've been wanting that bass but not in a position to buy it just at the moment, which has been playing on my mind. So its sale is a bit of a relief.[/quote]

Too nice! Hope it enjoys its new home.

[quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='1135847' date='Feb 21 2011, 05:27 PM']MXR M80+ DI is the best distortion box i've ever used and i'm looking forward too affording one![/quote]
I just got one these - via BC marketplace - and it is [b]very[/b] fuzzy! With the gain at zero there's what I would call quite a lot of distortion, so I'm looking for something else for that "slight bloom" of overdrive. (He said, bandying around another totally subjective term...)

[quote name='skej21' post='1134518' date='Feb 20 2011, 04:59 PM']What if I put up my Overwater Progress III Deluxe* up in the 'For Sale' thread for £60 + P&P. Does that make it sh!t because it's cheap?

*Or [insert high-end, expensive, custom bass here][/quote]
Try it and see!

I for one have never played an Overwater, so I'll brush up my prejudices before commentong on it.

It's a bit like learning to play with two hands on a piano - initially daunting but comes with practice.

Does that make you a bieberphile?

[quote name='mcnach' post='1132019' date='Feb 18 2011, 11:23 AM']Oh, and another reason: they look pretty in the house. I don't like flower vases, I prefer basses [/quote]

And what sort of adjustments can be done at the bridge?

Thanks for the extra pics & info... I was sort of hoping it would be seriously mangled and that my gas would be relieved. Too much nice stuff on here at the moment - Lord, deliver me from temptation.

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='1131165' date='Feb 17 2011, 03:32 PM']Hmmm. Looking at those photos is making me want to refinish mine in natural. I have loads of Danish Oil here too...[/quote]
Naked and oiled...

You can call me paranoid (usually only my best friends do), but has this ever been strung with anything other than flats?

Gorgeous, but not keen on seeing roundwounds... can you post close-ups of the fingerboard e.g. around the 5th/7th "fret" areas? Has the board been coated?

Thanks!

Are you Jack Bauer?

No problems at all, proceed with confidence!

Is the compressor still for sale?

Is the compressor still available?

Thanks folks - I'm off to make myself an under-string radius gauge using this [url="http://www.pickguardian.com/pickguardian/Images/Pickguardian%20Neck%20Radius%20Gauges.pdf"]http://www.pickguardian.com/pickguardian/I...us%20Gauges.pdf[/url], a Pritt stick, an old pizza box and some sellotape.

One for the modders who are swapping necks and may have a gauge handy... it looks pretty big to me.

She arrived today, and how has the Fender 9050Ls on - 45/60/80/100. And very nice they are too. Slightly higher tension than the stock strings, so I dropped the action a bit, but I don't think I need to touch the truss rod. Not too fat to sit in the nut either. (From previous posts, it's no surprise that the ball-ends are too large for through-body stringing, but that's not a problem.)
