  1. Ref: Amyl and the Sniffers - I'm guessing this is what passes for female empowerment in 2019?
  2. 3 pages and no one's mentioned 'Stairway to f**king Heaven' yet? What's wrong with you people? It's like you never been into a guitar shop in the late 70's/80's!
  3. Mike Walsh of Zoot basses fame is based in Witham (well, Silver End actually), a gnat's fart off the A12. That's the custom fretless he made for me on the Home page. http://www.zootbass.com/
  4. I've been to Glastonbury (too big, corporate and impersonal), 'progressed' to Latitude (got too 'Hampstead on the Suffolk Coast' and chav-heavy) and have finally ended up attending Green Man for the last 4 years or so. GM is without doubt the best of the bunch but, being located at the foot of the Black Mountains in the Brecon Beacons there's more or less a 100% chance it will rain at some point over the weekend. We mitigate by simply making sure we take some proper water-proof clothing and a suitable wide-brimmed hat. Mind you, there's not much you can do about the car parks being mud baths when you want to leave! That said, I've seen some absolutely blasting bands and the beer's not too p**s-takingly expensive either. Oh, and a Beer Festival forms part of the whole shebang too.
  5. Just dipped into this thread again and find I can't avoid the feeling that there is little popular support amongst the proletariat for my suggestion! Well that's it with me and changing the World - you try to make people's lives better and this is what you get....
  6. Just a thought but I am fairly regularly excited by bass FS posts only to find that the object of my lust has one too many strings (and 5 players I'm sure find the same thing). Would there be any merit, do we think, in splitting FS threads in '4 strings FS' and '5+ strings FS' (for example? If there's no great appetite elsewhere then it's obviously not an issue others less OCD than myself share!
  7. Reading this thread has really taken me back. I remember seeing Whitesnake at the Hammersmith Odeon as was in about 1980/81, I guess. Neil Murray - you were definitely on bass. What a band! The only album I now own though is 'Live...In the Heart if the City'. One of the very best live albums - right up there with 'Live and Dangerous' in my book. And the live version of 'Fool For Your Lovin''! I doff my cap to you, Mr Murray - what a player!
  8. Mick's just bought a Hartke Chorus off me and now joins the list of brilliant BC-ers I've had the pleasure of doing business with. Top banana.
  9. Just had a search for my own feedback thread - which I last found about a month ago - and it appears to have gone walkabout. Usual title - 'Feedback for Bass Culture'. THanks.
  10. What's the story on the gloss finish? Was that an original - custom - option or has it been refinished at some point? Thanks.
  11. We're all holding it in for fear of looking like Teacher's Pet in front of our fellow players!
  12. BUMP for price drop. Really can't go any lower than this - I'd be practically giving it away. So, any takers for a very low cost way of experimenting with a bit of Chorus in your sound?
  13. Valeton's answer to the Tech 21 Bass Fly-rig and comprising a similar feature set. This is a great piece of kit and the quality of of the effects really belie its price. However, I've recently given in to the temptation of purchasing a multi-fx unit and this has to make way. This is the blurb from the Valeton website: TUNER: First in line is a big, bright, fast and accurate tuner so you can play confidently in tune. BOOST COMP: BOOST COMP is a booster and compressor combo. Set-to-forget knobs make it simply diabolical. DIRTY Q: The DIRTY Q module is an envelope filter with some interesting tricks. Tweak the knobs onboard until you find the vocal tone that suits your playing style. BASS AMP: This BASS AMP module will give your bass the life it needs for every musical genre. The EQ is golden with cleans and highly responsive even with the gain up. OCTAVE: Use the all-analog monophonic OCTAVE module to beef up your low end, create synthy leads, or make everything crash off the walls. Individual octave and dry control ensure maximum inspiration. CHORUS: Plunge into the lush CHORUS module to take your sound to a brave new world. No patience for annoying parameters – the single depth knob will let you decide how deep into analog chorus dimensions you want to go. And Dapper Bass is expandable for everything else you might need too: FX LOOP: Hook up your other effects— as many as you want!— and make Dapper Bass the core of your rig. THRU and XLR out: Use the THRU output jack to run through some parallel effects (rack processors, interfaces, etc.) or do some re-amping. The XLR OUT feeds a balanced signal to audio interfaces or mixers. FEATURES ● TUNER module with fast, accurate tuning ● Powerful BOOST COMP module for kicking your sound up ● Sensitive, vocal-like DIRTY Q module with some interesting tricks ● BASS AMP module with wide tonal flexibility ● All-analog monophonic OCTAVE module with individual octave/dry signal control ● Warm, lush CHORUS module for expanding your sound dimensions ● FX LOOP for extending the effects chain ● Different outputs to run through bass amps, audio interfaces, mixers and other gear And this is the unit itself - boxed, with power supply etc: I'm looking for a mere £75. Price includes shipping to mainland UK. Payment by bank transfer or Paypal gift. Come on, people, everyone needs a bit of Valeton essential effects strip in their life! Thanks all, BC
  14. Bought very recently from a fellow BC-er and since superseded by my recent purchase of a Zoom B3n, I have for sale this excellent analog(ue) chorus pedal from Hartke. Featuring Depth, Speed and Blend controls it's a very impressive and lush sounding chorus for the money. It's boxed and still has its registration card and user leaflet. It's in good condition and will include a beefy piece of velcro I took off the bottom when I took delivery. £22's a snip, I think, and even includes postage to mainland UK. Thanks all.
  15. AK - do you have a link to this puppy perchance?
  16. Yet again I've taken a punt on a multi FX pedal - the aforementioned Zoom unit on this occasion - fully expecting to use it with enthusiasm for a full 3 weeks, before leaving it boxed and selling it in a year when I realise I'm likely never going to use it again. In the meantime, to perhaps prompt me to actually take it to a rehearsal, as anyone found a suitable, cheapish case for the B3n?
