A couple of weeks ago there was talk of a bass bash happening in Lincoln sometime. Does anyone know if anything has come of it? Rick

+1 to the Yellowbelly Bass Bash

Welcome from yet another Lincolner!

Just bought Martin's Hartke LH-500 bass amp. He was a pleasure to deal with - good communication, and super speedy delivery ... Oh, and a great amp, too!

In my opinion, this playing music palaver just gets in the way...

My 1996 Fender Mexican Jazz bass in red has the one-piece control/scratch plate. It used to have the strat-style knobs, but I changed them to the more traditional jazz style ones. I looked at replacing the scratch plate, but unfortunately, as you said the screws are in the 'wrong' position. It's just a pity I found this out after purchasing my replacement parts...

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='458281' date='Apr 9 2009, 12:27 PM']I'd make a 'producer placebo box' using bits from maplin. - aluminium box, pots, footswitch, jack sockets etc. The input will be connected directly to the output and there'd be at least one footswitch and pot not connected to anything. Go crazy with painting it and give it a suitably funky name. With that on your board, anytime a bandmate asks you to make a change to your sound (including a request to turn the volume down) you'll have some controls to adjust to make them happy without actually messing up your sound. [/quote] Genius! I like it.

Hi all My nice new Eden head has a 'tuner output' jack. I've never used one before, and not being at home at the moment, I can't experiment with it to find out how it works. So...to satisfy my curiosity, does anyone know how I would connect my tuner (Boss TU-2) to the amp via this jack? Also, are there any advantages to hooking the tuner up this way compared to the standard 'bass -> tuner -> effects -> amp'? Many thanks Rick

I've got a feeling they've got the '4' and the '3' the wrong way round...

Continuing the thread on Jamerson, has anyone been lucky enough to be sent the password to the isolated Motown bass tracks on the site below?

Thanks for organising, BB. It was a good day, and nice to put a few faces to names. I think the star of the show had to be that blue effects unit (BigRedX's) - everyone literally stopped what they were doing once that drum beat kicked in! Thankfully, I didn't get the Rickenbacker GAS attack that now seems to be going round...

Can I cheat and say my Zoom B2 multi-effects pedal? After all, it is only one pedal (and it even includes the tuner!)

I would agree with those suggestions. I love Pino's recent work with John Mayer. How about: James Jamerson Bernard Edwards Paul McCartney ?

[quote name='tauzero' post='414001' date='Feb 19 2009, 11:00 AM']I'll bring a few Tsais and a Thumb. Also a [b]BFM DR250 cab[/b] plus Superfly, and probably a GK MB150 and some headphones too. Or maybe a Crate Powerblock plus headphones.[/quote] Ooh...I'd be very interested in hearing the DR250 cab. I'm about to finish my Omni 10 and may consider upgrading to a DR250 sometime in the future.

Thanks for the heads up - I keep missing "Standing..." whenever it's on TV.

I should be there. I'll bring my Eden WTX260 along - nice and light to carry!

I think it's the fact that most C&W songs sound identical that I dislike it so much. Although that's probably also the reason I love the blues so much. Hmm, I think I've just out-argued myself! OK, how about these reasons for disliking Country and Western music? [list] [*]The whiny voice that accompanies every song [*]The cowboy hats [/list]
