[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1455538558' post='2979927'] BTW, did you know that Jimmy Tarbuck was in John Lennons class at school? [/quote] Who's John Lennon?

What porpoise is this all serving?

[quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1455444702' post='2979065'] Tauzero are we the only AX3000B owners on Basschat? [/quote] A good question. There used to be be a few around. I haven't used mine for ages, I almost always use the MS-60B.

I use a Hiscox case for a Strat for my Sei headless, which is similarly sized. Though I have used a standard bass case for it too, so I could put a Zoom MS-60B effects pedal in the headstock bit when flying to Munich.

[quote name='keving' timestamp='1454534147' post='2970681'] This seems like a good opportunity to quote the late Terry Pratchett from one of his books: [b] “The Monks of Cool, whose tiny and exclusive monastery is hidden in a really cool and laid-back valley in the lower Ramtops, have a passing-out test for a novice. He is taken into a room full of all types of clothing and asked: Yo, my son, which of these is the most stylish thing to wear? And the correct answer is: Hey, whatever I select.”[/b] So from this I conclude that the coolest bass is the one that I am playing at any given point in time [/quote] See post 67.

[quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1455380149' post='2978641'] Experience, bosworth. [/quote] How big a sample size? I ask because experience of your posts generally points to you being something of a troll, so I'm inclined to take anything you say with a tablespoon or two of salt.

[quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1455374403' post='2978570'] Until they break. Which they will. [/quote] You say this from experience or merely following the herd?

I don't know what everyone's carping at.

Triumphs and Seis for me. And this is how to be informative about a motorcycle: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKEuzxC4eGc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKEuzxC4eGc[/url]

Tecamp Puma, EA iAmp500 or 800.

My Puma 900 is fine.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1455016130' post='2974969'] As a newcomer to this thread and with far too little spare time to read 550 posts on what is apparently a one-off design for a small bass speaker cab, can anyone offer a brief digest, ideally less than 3000 words? [/quote] It's a one-off design for a small speaker cab. HTH. If you start at page 14, you should be able to get the gist of what it sounds like and how it performs. Basically a 50l or so ported cab with a Beyma SM212 IIRC.

I can probably reduce what I'm carrying now as the guitarist has got XLR cables to run to the main speakers. Small suitcase (carry-on luggage size) with IEC cables, 6-way and 10-way mains extensions, XLR leads which I don't need as we've gone to wireless mics except for the times when the wirelesses might not work for some reason, XLR to TRS leads that I don't need to carry around any more but will forget on the one occasion that I need them if I don't, and a few spare jack-jack instrument cables. One small aluminium case for wireless, MS60-B, and the combined power and jack-jack lead to go between them and the amp. Second small aluminium case with amp, assorted speaker leads, and a second combined power and jack-jack lead just in case. Smaller aluminium case with wireless mics in it. Larger aluminium case with wired mics and drum mics in it that we never use.

[quote name='rogerstodge' timestamp='1454580294' post='2970916'] I've recently bought an iPod touch ( same size as a phone) and I can't get the mobile version on it but I can my phone?? My phone will change from full site to mobile site but the options not there on the pod. Any ideas? [/quote] That may be because of the screen resolution which the site uses to determine whether to offer up the mobile version - it's quite high for a phone-sized screen, more like a 7" tablet.

Is it perhaps time that the RNLI got involved, as the log may not only be in trouble itself but also pose a hazard to shipping?

I like both bands and both players, though the one who is the more likely to have influenced my own playing is Entwistle. In both cases, I don't listen to the bass parts, I listen to the band.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1454363961' post='2969085'] Reason is I believe people were abusing it by posting their for sale items as responses instead of paying the fee to list them properly. [/quote] "Wanted: a buyer for my xxxxx".

Any bass that I play is cool. Especially my headless fretless fancy wood faced Sei Original 5. Fenders are not cool, they are tepid. This is obvious because I won't have one.

Peavey Grind BXP or Cirrus BXP.

[quote name='ubit' timestamp='1453835101' post='2963295'] Our guitard has obsessive compulsive whatsitsname, there's no way he is out of tune in one song and even if he was, it would be so slight that it would be unnoticeable. No, he just has these routines he has to complete or the world will blow up or something. It's infuriating. [/quote] When I went to see The Who a couple of years ago at the NIA, the support band's bassist after every song played his open strings "bink bank bonk bunk" for no apparent reason. Unless it was to make sure he'd still got all four strings, I suppose.

Spare bass, spare amp, two 1x12s so I've got a bit of redundancy, leads as well as wireless. PA is two Mackie SRM450s and a pair of Behringer BD210s for monitoring. Spare batteries, box of cheap wired mics in case there's any severe issues with wireless.

Isn't there a 6-string with four fretted strings and the D and G strings repeated as fretless? So it's E A D G D G with the bottom four fretted.

For the avoidance of confusion, despite being aquatic, this is a monitor, not a fish:

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1453989080' post='2965017'] Regarding the payment I wonder if it's a good catch or if you end up singing for your supper at this venue? [/quote] You get a few squid.
