[quote name='Evil Undead' post='1155840' date='Mar 9 2011, 08:57 PM']Just wondering but does anyone here have trouble switching between 4, 5 and 6 strings?[/quote] No. I could use the 5 in one covers band but use the 6 so as to try and keep some mental agility, so I play 4 in one band (fretless, plus an Ashbory and an NS WAV-4, so I go from 18" scale length to 41"), 5 in another, and 6 in the third. Not using the 7 at the moment.

[quote name='Evil Undead' post='1115189' date='Feb 4 2011, 01:02 PM']Can anyone recommend brands to try? Preferably 35 scale[/quote] From what you said about necks, try the Peavey Grind and Peavey Cirrus (possibly the Millennium too). Schecters are also worth a look at.

Just bought some CDs and DVDs off Chris. Great to do business with, good communications, got here quickly and well packed.

Thanks 51m0n, I'll do some experimenting with all the available resources.

I've got a compressor button on my AX3000B, and I've got one on my Superduperfly. Will pressing both buttons be twice as good as pressing one? Time to pester 51m0n in here rather than on the For Sale forum, I think. I'm considering using compression (after all, if I do and it makes no difference to what the guitard hears, then it's him). At my disposal are a Korg AX3000B, an Ashdown Superduperfly, and a dbx 266XL (which would be the least ideal solution in convenience terms). The Korg has a compressor with sensitivity and level controls, and a limiter (which seems more like a better-featured compressor) with ratio, attack, threshold and level controls. The Superduperfly has the ability to access compressor ratio through the front panel and threshold, attack and release times through the editor program via USB. I suspect that experts on using compressors will be familiar with the dbx 266XL. Could I use either the Korg or the Superduperfly to compress my dynamic range somewhat, and would they be a reasonable solution, or should I really be looking at using the dbx?

Have you asked the other members of the band (except the singer) how they all feel about the singer? It could be that they're all pissed off with him too. There's no great shortage of singers...

[quote name='gerryc' post='1145908' date='Mar 1 2011, 03:34 PM']You can get cream for that.[/quote] Unless it's more than a feeling.

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='1144917' date='Feb 28 2011, 08:20 PM']Drummer at the wrong gig? [/quote] That's exactly the opposite problem though, more like a host of drowned corpses putrefying and bobbing to the surface one by one. Anyway, some of us need a good run-up. My best rapier wit takes me a couple of years to hone to perfection. Fortunately, I wrote a number of witty ripostes some years ago which I can turn to in emergencies, as long as I remember to edit the references to flares, Afros, and afghan coats.

Initially couldn't login using Firefox at work, could using IE. Cleared cookies in FF and I can log in. I think I'm still logged in at home.

I decookied last night and was able to log out successfully at home. Didn't do anything with cookies and have been able to log in successfully at work using Firefox (which I couldn't manage yesterday).

Funny, I was just about to mention that I can't log out, which I was going to do to see if it helped with logging in at work tomorrow. Just logs me straight back in.

Got home and hadn't been logged out, and it's been working perfectly happily. Will try to remember to log it out here tomorrow before heading off to work.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='1138886' date='Feb 23 2011, 05:27 PM']Possibly but ebay is an auction site, Basschat is not. So having no reserve I take a calculated risk of getting more than what I think it is roughly worth... but it might come up less and a Basschatter gets a bargain! It poses the problem that if I advertise it on here for £100 and it goes to £150 on ebay, I'd be unlikely to sell it to a BCer; however, I could then be accused of running an auction style sale on my sale thread.[/quote] Obvious answer - put it in For Sale for double what you'd like for it. That keeps to the rules, no-one can criticise your price, and someone might be [s]stupid[/s] enlightened enough to actually pay you what you're asking. Plus anyone doing research on the item in question to work out what a good bid would be will see the price you've stated and assume that's what they go for and put in a bid at that level. I can't see how you can lose.

Alert alert whoop whoop whoop - I've finally finished this (lack of concentration, I really should oooh pretty shiny) so ead is up next.

[quote name='oldslapper' post='1138628' date='Feb 23 2011, 02:38 PM']What do you reckon?? Looks more like a Tobias head, on a Spector body?

It also doesn't look terribly like any of the current Overwaters. Wasn't there one bass in here a while ago that had Overwater stamped on the bridge but that wasn't an Overwater?

Just got logged off between starting to reply and clicking "Add reply". Perhaps I should hone my immaculate prose abitmorequickly.

[quote name='ped' post='1138650' date='Feb 23 2011, 02:56 PM']the moderators are volunteers who have lives outside the web[/quote] What is this "life outside the web" of which you speak?

I'm logged in at home on FF. I can normally also access BC on FF at work but today I can't (don't know about Friday, Monday or Tuesday, wasn't in work). I've tried IE on the work PC and I can get in with it. Possibly a cookies issue (I haven't cleared my FF cookies).

So I reported two of them and was told thatn they were in the right place because they were for Ebay auctions. Can the mods please sort out WTF Ebay links are for, because it's certainly not what the subtitle says it's for.

I wouldn't expect the police to take the old lady to the mugger... I'll report them in future.

[quote name='icastle' post='1115637' date='Feb 4 2011, 05:33 PM']Slowly working my way round the house with a scrubbing brush and some enzyme cleaning stuff I bought to try and get rid of the smell of urine and faeces. I've pulled up two carpets so far, wrapped them in polythene sheeting and taken them to the tip as they were beyond all hope of saving. I'm reckoning on at least two more carpets going the same way - looks like I'm going to be going down the sanded and varnished floor look as recarpeting that lot will cost an absolute fortune (old house = big rooms!).[/quote] When I got my house back from the former Mrs Zero after buying her out, I returned to find that she'd just let her six Yorkies do as they wanted. The carpets were all saturated with dog piss - we had to get them all up except for one room. Our original plan to recarpet a couple of rooms got drastically elevated to the entire house except for one bedroom (she never used the bedroom which got used as a computer room and so the dogs never went in either).
