Nice collection. 'Ramdom note generator' Nice one!

I do like the mockingbird.

I'm going to make one. That price is crazy for a bit of MDF and some foam.

smelly sunglasses? what manner of porn is this?

+1 on the Hofner violin bass. Appalling in every way. Just vile.

nah, sorry.

missed it myself

Anything with more than 4 strings. Bongo's = look like toilet seats. Anything that sounds like a w***y recipe e.g. [i]rosewood and hard maple on specially selected Madagascan mantlewood, highlighted with ebonised accents and hand finished in select Indian shellac[/i]... (usually found with with more than 4 strings - see picture of twat earlier in thread)

Just a heads up for any Stranglers fans. They will be performing on Loose End's tonight.

Count yourselves lucky that you have bass mags to moan about, all I can get (within a twenty mile radius) is tractor & farm trader and Take a Break...

Welcome to the jungle. Probably a cliché but its the first song I learned all the way through...

I enjoyed that.

I might not sleep tonight...

The second player is a well known prog metaller and session musician IIRC. It's some sort of art project (he claims)

We're having a jam at the next Weight Watchers meeting.

That guy has done a great cover. Amazing.

I live along the road from Fish out of Marrilion. Anyone for tenuous?

Yeah that is the problem. The amp sounded great in the shop at about two-thirds volume. Trying to get the same sound when the speaker cone is barely moving is another story... Headphones it is! Lots of useful information guys, many thanks.

I'll try a bit more fiddling around with settings and will move the amp away from the wall, see if that makes any difference. I knew I should have went for a smaller amp to start out with... Those Amplugs look good. The 'bass buddy' is way out of my budget for the time being. Next question: What sort of headphones?

Yeah I thought headphones would be the only easy way. Don't think it has aux-in though! The amp sounded brilliant when the guy demo'd it in the shop... Thanks for the info.

Hey guys Needing a bit of advice on my set up. I live in a row of small cottages and need to keep the volume down to avoid annoying neighbours. This means when i'm practising the amp is barely above one and a half and no matter what I change it doesn't seem to make any difference to the sound. (which i would describe as a woolly thump). The amp is a Roland Cube 100 and my bass is an Aerodyne jazz so should sound pretty good. Do I need to get a smaller amp that I can turn up? Cheers - Ben

Surely the vibration damping effect of your body/arm in contact with the guitar body would have a greater effect when through-strung? Just a thought.

A few surprises in there.
