[quote name='jazzyvee' timestamp='1401793034' post='2466836'] I bought the Tascam GB-10 about a year ago and the issues have with it are probably minor but irritating just the same. if you have a track on and you press the [<< button to go back to the beginning of the currently playing track it goes to the beginning of the previous track so you have to press the >>] button to get back to the track you were practicing to which is frustrating. [/quote] Press stop twice, that takes you back to the start of the current track. That annoyed me too until I found out how to do it. [quote name='jazzyvee' timestamp='1401793034' post='2466836'] The other thing I would like is a line-in so that you can play along to tracks from your iPod or mp3 player rather than having to fill the memory card from your computer in advance to play along. Finally the screen is not backlit so is not always easy to see what is going on. [/quote] Having a line-in sort of defeats the point though. You've probably got a line-in on your amp, use that instead. I've had both the CD-BT2 and the GB10, and I prefer the GB10.

[quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1404246037' post='2490819'] No producer, only an engineer at the moment, it's a hobby band and it's still in the process of being recorded. The engineer will mix it and then we'll get it mastered by another guy.. To be fair to the guitarist, he has had to come up with 10 or so solo's that he's been happy with... I just don't like the idea of all the layering. I'm just worried he'll leave no space in the music and it will end up being the over produced bollox, that Discreet hinted at. [/quote] It does seem a bit surprising to me that with a 2 guitar band, he'd be doing a lot more overdubbing.

[quote name='ironside1966' timestamp='1404244534' post='2490799'] It spent 2 week at no 1 in 1990 but most musicians I know have played it at some time,including me. I played in the mid-nineties and it was old hat then. I don’t understand why some bands haven’t moved on [/quote] It's quite shocking, isn't it? I mean, some bands still play stuff from the 18th century. Surely it's time to move on from Mozart and Bach?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1404218942' post='2490410'] I don't know about the vocals but Jeez do any of you think she was playing that fiddle? Come on then digital camera experts why was the guy on the right playing in time when hers wasn't, my bow technique on DB is terrible but I can tell you that's not how you bow a fiddle! No mic, no wireless Kit, no piezo installed... [/quote] And, funnily enough, only the sound of one violin. It hardly seemed like a serious attempt to fool the audience. And no-one has bothered mentioning the security guards doing a dance routine to "Jolene". And I don't think anyone who was actually there has said anything about her miming. Never mind, there's always time to get a Miltychat flashmob together and grab the pitchforks and blazing torches.

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1404139220' post='2489638'] Has anyone else noticed how Ellie Goulding is getting increasingly desperate in trying to turn herself into some kind of credible "alternative " artist [i]a la [/i]Florence And The Machine? [/quote] You mean she's started to sing wildly out of tune?

I like it. Two previous bands have threatened to do it but never did, I'd like to give it a whirl sometime.

They're identical apart from the pickups, finish, and pickguard. I suppose it keeps the manufacturing costs down if you make a standard body/neck and then route and paint it differently, but it does mean that the variation is pretty limited.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1403685786' post='2485183'] Where's best for the conventional (solderable) right angled 'low profile' (flat) plugs? This type, with guaranteed quality.

I'm not putting the band through the PA, it's currently used for just vocals most of the time though I have put kick and occasionally snare through it too. I thought a sub might help spread the load of the kick. I was actually looking at something more like the Alto True Sonic TS SUB 12. When I say "cheap" I mean "don't have to play too many gigs at £50-£60 a pop to pay for it".

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1403737420' post='2485902'] Funny how you can always spot the home-made jobs, there's always something sort of wonky about the body & headstock shapes. [/quote] There seems something not quite right about the body shape. I'm not sure if that's simply that I'm so familiar with P basses that something that has a shape which is similar but a little different looks wrong (in this case, the lower bout is narrower than the horns, while on a P it's wider, so a P looks like it's got a fatter arse), or whether it's simply that it's not quite right.

One of these had me convinced my wireless, or my bass, or my amp was at fault, as the rest of the band carried on playing. Then I worked out what it was and the guitarist pointed me to an extension lead that everyone else had plugged into that he'd forgotten to tell me to use when I arrived. I should point out that said extension lead was officially sanctioned, it was the club ents secretary who provided it. Did get me quite paranoid though, swapped from wireless to a lead, from main bass to backup bass, and then was trying to work out what might be wrong with the amp...

Doesn't look like they will be back in stock - showing as "not part of our current product range anymore.". Boo.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1403696996' post='2485369']Simply wheel into position, remove the front and back lids, and plug the power into the back and I'm ready to go.[/quote] And presumably it would be the same procedure for the bass rig?

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1403028106' post='2479050'] He seems like a very angry person. There is something about the whole listing I don't like...can't decide what though, other than its general angry tone. I also don't like that it has sold (relatively cheaply) twice and yet it is still up for sale, despite his reasons... [/quote] I can see that the first paragraph is sort of angry, and the last one seems to have been added in frustration at people asking him why the sale fell through, but the chunk sandwiched in between those two paragraphs doesn't seem to be at all angry. I'd be more concerned that he played with some members of Dire Straits yet doesn't know how to spell the name of the band, unless he's referring to a tribute band called Dire Straights...

I think that the JH/BC correspondence is a little misleading - IIRC, the only part that's mentioned in that is the headstock and TRC, but there are also trademarks on the body shape which aren't mentioned in that. I make no comments on the rights and wrongs of the situation or the vigour of RIC's pursuit of infringements.

I'd go with taking out batteries if present, stripping down the pedals if possible, and washing in water, using common sense to avoid washing any parts which might actually be mechanically affected by water, then leave in an airing cupboard or other warm place for a few days to dry out.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1402867949' post='2477478'] I do enjoy the snobbery on here sometimes, some people love to go on pretty much every Fender thread to lets us know they like weird stuff, good for you, [/quote] So if it's not Fender, it's weird? The point you're missing here is that one Fender Jazz looks much the same as another Fender Jazz, barring the colour. The ebay forum is going to get pretty bloody boring (not to mention unreadable, and full) if every time a different Jazz bass is put on That Ebay, it gets posted up as a dream bass.

I'm saying that jazz basses are as exciting as Mondeos. Almost. And the white ones are just a little special, like the needs of their owners. Big smiley goes here.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1402568905' post='2474814'] It's not a "why do you like them?" question. For me it was more a "what makes this bass more special than any other Fender Jazz?" question. I could understand it if the OP had actually had a go on the bass in question and it was an awesome sounding and playing instrument, but it's just some photos in an eBay listing. So what is it? [/quote] It's because it's white. Think about it, how many white Mondeos do you see? They're just a little bit special.

I don't think the bridge pieces are on a different piece of wood, I think that there's a cutout a few millimetres deep that they're in, presumably to lower them. That neck joint is very Ritter.

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1401991098' post='2469044'] What is he measuring in picture 8? [/quote] How far down his floor is from the top of the cab. Trying to extrapolate his inside leg from that is prone to parallax error.
