[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1475961707' post='3150160'] Pretty sure the East preamps have a trim pot, but on mine, still doesn't go as low gain as passive (U-Retro). [/quote] i have three easts and they are all trimmed to the lowest setting and are still extremley pokey - the only one i dont have is on the status on the bridge pickup is trimmed higher to boost volume and keep the pickup a reasonable distance from strings because it is so much closer to the bridge than most other basses that said i have yamaha and sandberg also both active but the output on them is nowhere near as powerful as the easts - ive just compromised and sort of figured out roughly where the volume pot should be and keep my fingers crossed would a trim pot across the output be literally connected up across the hot and ground? ta

on a bass once i think i remember back in about 1979 ish or thereabouts - was the G on the skinny six strings about once every few months and always the top E

and currently trying to figure out a workable mashup arrangement of donna summer 'bad girls' and alexis jordan 'good girl'(freemasons mix) [url="http://youtu.be/75Wh53RfxUg"]http://youtu.be/75Wh53RfxUg[/url]

we do 'aint no mountain high enough' and during the coda section we slip into diana ross but only for 8 bars and then slip out back into the marvin and tammy version

oh yes the GOOGLE CALENDAR that worked out well didnt it unfortunately we are beholden to the vile facebook messenger - group message - its the way to go hope this helps otherwise one of these might help

i prefer playing by fingers hope this helps

floyd rose lo pro edge locking system - you can tug the whammy bar as much as you like and it NEVER goes out

[quote name='Painy' timestamp='1475524299' post='3146683'] A friend recently told me that he'd asked our (very good) lead guitarist what I was actually like as a bass player as he thought the band anyways sounded good but he didn't really know what to listen for as far as bass goes (basically a typical pub punter). I actually thought our guitarist's response was really quite complimentary. He said that I'm "a very natural player". I'll take that quite happily [/quote] asking a guitarist to comment on a bassist? isnt that a bit like asking a fish about poetry?

[quote name='Hutton' timestamp='1475952638' post='3150081'] I am maybe doing something wrong here but a couple of times recently I have been asked to provide feedback and I have gladly done so. However, the gesture has not been returned. I don't think that I did anything wrong during the transactions so as not to merit feedback being reciprocated. Any thoughts folks? [/quote] you too huh

sounds a blast you might need this [url="http://www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/goods/173217"]http://www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/goods/173217[/url] hope this helps

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1475076634' post='3142864'] I dunno about 60 years but I know from personal experience they've certainly been of - shall we say - [i]variable quality[/i] since 1973. The very first time ever I went into a music shop the guy eventually looks up from the organ he's playing, eyes me up and down in a disparaging fashion and says '[i]What?[/i]' [/quote] was he offering nostril flaring lessons?

early series trb6p i paid 1700 notes in 92 at wapping bass centre you may regret it if you do and you may regret it if you dont hope this helps

youd think they do carriage paid for that sort of price

as previous comments - east or glock is good - also what sort of tone are you after will dictate what type of pickups you go for - ive got a squier with an east retro and wizard hammers - its does a pretty good geddy lee jazz tone

[quote name='razze06' timestamp='1474630203' post='3139378'] If you switch on the active preamp, and turn up all the way the bass boost, the signal may get too hot for your amp. It is a seriously powerful preamp [/quote] +1 the east's are similar by sounds of it - have to keep the volume at 50% and the bass and treble boosts back below 100% as fully boosted they up the signal level quite considerably - hopefully once you wind them back a bit you will find a sweet spot and keep those settings

[quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1474792504' post='3140460'] The point is that they continue to make millions of dollars when they tour. [/quote] so does the clinton foundation ... doesnt make it right though ?

[quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1474749276' post='3140283'] It's interesting how many people say that "they" should call it a day now. AC/DC are a global enterprise with offices, secretaries, accountants, private planes and an income to rival the GDP of some small countries. Would Coca Cola or Nike suddenly stop, when they are ongoing successful businesses? [/quote] no but then nike et al are not sentient entities and can be forgiven for 'not knowing better' at their age

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1474105206' post='3135606'] Have a look at some of the bands YouTube clips, they're not playing run of the mill tunes. [/quote] yes i saw that after im surprised there is the market for that sort of thing to be honest is a bit niche for most venues/promoters no?

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1473608460' post='3131592'] Thanks for the replies so far. It isn't a case of the song being complicated - that wouldn't be a problem, it's simply beyond my ability. What's added to my suspicion is that Bohemian Rhapsody's in there, which I can do but I doubt would ever get gigged. And to be fair to everyone the song's Spirit of Radio - the doodly bits are too fast for me. [/quote] im inclined to agree with several others above that both these are just being thrown in there to massage the guitards ego aside... what widdly bits are you referring to ? TJH does a lot of rush vids on the youtubes and this one shows all the positions and fingering nice and clear https://youtu.be/p2XpKFGPUG0

i would normally say no but i do recall many moons ago seeing a rather old Les Paul in a shop down Tin Pan Alley claiming it had provenance to Mick Ronson - assuming the provenance to be genuine and all that I might have been tempted beyond all temptation so decided it was for the best to not even go into the shop otherwise as soon as i had set foot over the threshold my mind would be mentally filling out the loan application form and hurrying down to the bank with it
