Hey CHW, I'm here just to announce that Mep will be here soon to welcome you. Oh, and welcome! best, bert

Cool! Congrats with this. That's some nicely quirky things that is. Me like. best, bert

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1371069307' post='2109539'] Oooh that unlined baby is hot! [/quote] Yeah, I thought so too. 18 years old, and though not cheap, at least it was near mint. No fret wear at all! I liked that buttercream a mucho grando lot - with that weird pg. Did that 2005 Lim.Ed. always come with a pg like that? b, b

[quote name='Jah Wibble' timestamp='1371066334' post='2109478'] Nice one bert, thanks, but I've got a cmd 121h I'm lookin to pair it with. [/quote] Rats, and I was just done scissoring out the front, and was about to ask the kids to colour it. Well, it's your loss! b, b

[quote name='Johngh' timestamp='1371060758' post='2109367'] He was stoopid for leaving a hammer lying about as well mind. [/quote] "Tools don't kill basses. People kill basses. [...] Pry them [...] from my cold dead hands!" Charlton Baston's NBA address. Sorry. Couldn't resist. b, b

I like mine. Plug 'n' play, and I don't seem to need to dial. In a weak moment, I doubted the need for a Bongo, and I lurv Bongos more than I lurv my ex. Spoken as a true noob of course, as always.

[quote name='funkle' timestamp='1371048460' post='2109095'] That's most likely the same driver as in the Vanderkley 112EXT (at least according to what LawrenceH has previously thought over in one of the Vanderkley threads). At a guess, from looking at the power ratings etc, I think the Vanderkley 212MNT may have 2 of the Faital 12PR300's? [url="http://www.vanderkleyamp.nl/products/cabinets/neolite/212mnt/"]http://www.vanderkle...neolite/212mnt/[/url] [/quote] . But that would most probably mean that the 112MNT has a different driver than the 212MNT, which sounds a bit peculiar in my ears. I'm guessing there's an answer in physics, but I can't remember my physics classes at all. Someone in the know hopefully chimes in. best, bert

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1371057487' post='2109294'] I bet it's just an SM58 [/quote] You're looking at his trousers. It's the ears we're discussing. b, b

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1371053940' post='2109227'] Jesus! What happened to your ear!? [/quote] Stax SR-80 SIlver Lim.Ed. Shame we can't see the one on the left ear. b, b

[quote name='Jah Wibble' timestamp='1371042316' post='2109006'] I was wondering if anyone had a markbass 12.1h traveler they might be selling? [/quote] Don't do it, man! That MB cab is really terrible. Buy my StreamMax 12.2h instead. It has [b]point one more![/b] "We're not being coy when we say ours go to 12.2 ..." BTW, PM only. 7 quid is really a lot when selling a £2,000 amp. Greedy besterds. best, bert

[quote name='mep' timestamp='1370985594' post='2108405'] Hi Plambers, welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy it here. Hey BassTractor, you beat me to finding this Newbie. [/quote] Hey Mep, you'll beat me next time. Hm. I like the 50 pages club! b, b

The container is the hours, right? Two days and five hours? Be careful with us, mate. The excitement is killing us more than it is you. b, b

[quote name='mep' timestamp='1370980307' post='2108309'] Not easy on my phone. Anyway I'm off to find some more newbies. [/quote] Sound illegal to me. How are we doing on the page count, I wonder. b, b

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1370909385' post='2107447'] ...although I can't see many punters walking off with a B3 and it's Leslie without being noticed... [/quote] Hehe. Yeah, that must have been the single advantage of the whole thing. Though someone nocking an expensive synth off the electric piano, or changing a few leads in a modular synth for fun could do some very expensive damage. I just forgot to be wary about it. Now I suddenly am. Old age, I guess. b, b

[quote name='mep' timestamp='1370977819' post='2108263'] Welcome to the forum. Thought I'd better say hi as there have been a couple of high profile bassists introduce themselves recently and people commenting that most new members don't get 5 pages or so of welcomes Enjoy reading and posting. [/quote] That was nice 'n' all, but hardly helping us to get to five pages. Write some more, Mep! b, b

Hey Plampers, Welcome! I'm sure you'll learn a lot from just being here. I did, and started on BC as a complete noob. Nows I think of it, I'm still a complete noob, so maybe you should look somewhere else! Here are some threads you can look at: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/200531-improving-learning-playing/"]http://basschat.co.u...arning-playing/[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/82758-doe-a-bass-tutorial-book-exist-that-isnt-dry-as-an-old-stick/"]http://basschat.co.u...s-an-old-stick/[/url] http://basschat.co.uk/topic/195147-recommendations-needed-for-beginner-bass-books/ I'd like to add that the very cheap iBook "How To Play Bass Guitar" from the iTunes store didn't seem too bad. Enjoy the site! best, bert

But he's right - a G is not an Em! You should just have played that demm Em tone he wanted. But seriously: did he state what he thought was correct, and why? I mean: surely he didn't believe only roots are correct? best, bert

Yup, it's unbelievably quick if they have the required vid in stock. Other vids will take slightly less than normal play time IME, since YT doesn't transmit the whole vid at superspeed anymore, but pauses between transmitted chunks of it. b, b

This thread just made me realise that in my dark past, I would never even think of taking a cheap organ or synth to gigs instead of the expensive stuff, but today would immediately be wary of taking a relatively expensive bass, and would need to think logic thoughts on the matter before realising I can in fact take a bass to a gig. Fun fact is my electronic stuff cost tens of thousands (the organ alone cost like 14,000 quid in the 80s) - my bass gear maybe one tenth of that. It's a weird thing, the psyche. best, bert

Hey O-man, Welcome to BC! You'll find this is a great place for all things bass. As to your question, the Introductions forum might not be very effective. Try the Amps & Cabs forum in the Gear section. They should know, and people are keen to answer. Enjoy! best, bert

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1370878984' post='2106765'] Just to be clear, BassTractor, you wouldn't be advocating this form of capture for the purposes, say, of procuring copyrighted material for less than it's current retail value? [/quote] Haha. No, I wouldn't. No worries there. Paying for copyrighted material is the only decent thing to do. b, b

Great story, this. Txs for sharing, and congrats! best, bert

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1370859874' post='2106307'] Chain him to a radiator? [/quote] Child protection services will get you for this. Surface temperatures often exceed 40 degrees Celcius. Chain him hanging from the heat pump. Luvverly pic btw. Reminds me of those sad times I couldn't watch the kids ruin my expensive speakers, and sold them. (Please excuse any possible unintended, bad grammar induced lack of clarity.) Anyway, one kid case might come cheaper than two bass cases. Don't forget to take postage & handling costs into account. best, bert

You're in the clear, Jarek. The joke was just about the name Elrick, as in "El Rick", the Spanish and/or Mexican cheaper version of the Rickenbacker. It's true! You read it on BC first! best, bert

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1370684250' post='2104295'] S i x [/quote] and [quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1370768741' post='2105200'] [size=6][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]5[/font][/size] [/quote] Whilst I'm waiting for my own Barefaced cabs, the real excitement lies in waiting for the next installment of this ^
