    The joys of psychoacoustics! [/quote]

    it might be this, but depending on how far away you were it could be the very slight difference in the speed of Sound and Speed of light, obviously your eyes registering the location of the note to come, while your ears recieve the note just played.

    or some such nonsense.

  2. ok this is Karen of Thinking For Tuesday

    Won't let me embed an image from Flickr for some reason.

  3. I quite liked the White Bass that Beyonce's Bassist had (is she still Divinity Roxx?) looked like some kind of Warwick.

    to be honest though if anyone said to me here have this bass that is like the one <Insert Bass Player Here> played at Glastonbury, I'd probably say 'sure, thanks for that, I'll be sure to use it'.

    you don't get to that level of success without having some great gear.

    I believe Charic's rh450 and 2x10 almost kept up with my SVT 4 and 6x10 (although I was running the SVT from only one power amp :) ) at last years SE Bass Bash.

    Good Gear that TC stuff!

  5. [quote name='dave_bass5' post='1179344' date='Mar 28 2011, 12:10 PM']I know this is an old thread but i just wanted to post about Thomanns CS.

    We brought a LED light off them end of Jan this year. It cost £45 inc postage. It seems to have developed a fault so i emailed them yesterday to see what can be done. As its outside the 30 days send it back period we were going to weigh up the pros and cons of having to send it to Germany.
    I got a email this morning form Thomanns saying they are trying out a new returns system and would i like to participate in it. The email also contained a PDF with a prepaid label and all i need to do is pack it up and take it to the post office.

    I must say thats pretty good service. I think the total postage (both ways, twice) must come close to the cost of the light.[/quote]


    [quote name='icastle' post='1179396' date='Mar 28 2011, 12:56 PM']Gotta say, if Thomann were to open up a UK operation and keep those sort of standards up then there'd be a lot of very worried UK online retailers trying to raise their game...[/quote]

    you really can't argue with that level of Customer Service, I would hope that there are already a lot of worried UK online retailers that are worried, and continue to be.


    [quote name='icastle' post='1179458' date='Mar 28 2011, 01:35 PM']Obviously price comes into the buying decision, but the thing that really makes them stand out for me is that with the thousands of orders a day that they must process, they seem to have a consistantly good level of customer service.
    Compare that to an online store in the UK who process a few dozen orders a day and can't manage to do that...[/quote]

    +1

  6. [quote name='Kraken' post='1176578' date='Mar 25 2011, 09:23 PM']Ok Pictures Up,

    if you want more or specific pictures, ask and ye shall recieve

    (apologies for the carpet)[/quote]


    [quote name='Rayman' post='1177099' date='Mar 26 2011, 12:02 PM']Nice. Good luck with the sale, because then you can buy a vacuum cleaner.[/quote]

    I refer the learned gentlemen to the previous apology,

    but

    I am sorry that the carpet doesn't live up to your high standards and you have only my word on this but it is usually a lot better than that, there have been a lot of non-bass related things happening in my home recently that have made such things as vacuming carpets not quite such a high priority :)

    thanks for the best wishes and the troll :)

  7. [quote name='Kinder' post='1177050' date='Mar 26 2011, 11:25 AM']Great bass and a very keen price. I just sold my 4 string one and it was a beauty. Good luck with the sale.[/quote]

    Thanks Kinder, I am sorry to see it go, but I'm just not using it and it is such a shame that such a great sounding and stunning looking bass isn't being used

  8. it is indeed Made in Korea,

    I've been told that they were made in the same Factory that the Cort Basses are made in, but I never found anything to back this up or refute it, so it is basically hearsay. (yes that dodgy vocal pop group that seemed to just vanish)

    Taking Pictures now.

    Good luck with your dingwall then Thom

    and Mike, I'd rather not be posting it just because of all the things that can be complicated by that, and also if we exchange in person there are ways and means that you can try it before you hand over your cash, I would prefer the new owner to be happy with it and then hand me the cash than go through the whole 'not what I was expecting' debacle.

    I do have family in North Yorkshire though (around Whitby) and I'm visiting there at the end of April so if it is still available then and you are interested I can bring it with me.

    Any more questions?

    :)
