[quote name='geoffbyrne' timestamp='1366967387' post='2059505'] I think he plugs his bass into the headphones socket [/quote] Yup! My other amps have the input on the left, with the exception of the Terror Bass, but that one doesn't have a headphones output, so I'm secure there. b, b

Orange Micro Terror. Look and guess what I do again and again. [URL=http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/basstractor1/media/Orange_Micro_Terror_zps6ed831a7.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r525/basstractor1/Orange_Micro_Terror_zps6ed831a7.jpg[/IMG][/URL] best, bert

Squier decals in my MIA Jazz.

Thanks for posting his pic then, so we know who to terminate. Your address again? Congrays with the bass! I've been ogling them for some time. Cheap as chips, and your decription makes them even more attractive. Red of course. best, bert

[quote name='iconic' timestamp='1366918348' post='2059105'] Now that is interesting i never knew pups were sited at node points, thanks for that. [/quote] I was actually thinking they'd gone away from it in part - these days putting them wherever the Hull they wanna put them. Back in the days, I was taught that a harmonics test would reveal a classical guitar, and I assumed the same went for basses. However, BC recently taught me that between bad and good harmonics is a good set-up. best, bert

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1366914964' post='2059059'] I disagree. [/quote] If it's the Van Morrison song you guys are talking about, then I disagree with you. best, bert

Bonjour Yvette, Welcome to BC! Just start reading every thread that seems interesting in the different sections, and ask questions along the way. Enormous amounts of info will come your way. Always mention a budget - this is the thing most forgotten when people ask for advice. At any rate: there is no real need to buy expensive gear. A £3,000 bass will often perform just as well. Enjoy! best, bert

Welcome to BC, Rob. Enjoy and partake indeed. best, bert

Hey Dougie, Welcome from yet another dinosaur. best, bert

Love this. Thanks for posting! best, bert

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1366836348' post='2057997'] Where is that 'like' button [/quote] Here you go, mate: [URL=http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/basstractor1/media/Schroumldingerlike_zpsd2181cc5.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r525/basstractor1/Schroumldingerlike_zpsd2181cc5.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Just wanna say I think G&L and Epiphone are overdoing the leftie thing a trifle. Also, it feels like disrepect to all lefties. Maybe I'm too stern in these matters, and should loosen up a bit. ;-) best, bert

Why in the world would you want to play with these amateurs? I don't get it. Congrats, man. Sounds exciting. best, bert

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1366832353' post='2057928'] Keep practicing & you can then move on to "In God's Country". [/quote] Noooo! Not "In God's Country"! That's Real Gunslinger Virtuoso stuff !!! Seriously though, I'm really not looking down on this. In fact, U2's basslines were one of the inspirations that made me pick up the bass. I had this idea that simply being in a position to play stuff like that was enough for the whole project to be worthwhile, as I love the U2 bass so much. best, bert

I Will Follow

Yeah, hot indeed. Enjoy!

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1366744166' post='2056791'] Yeah, it's a good thread. [/quote]

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1366738676' post='2056685'] Can't imagine why you'd find it in a full English though. I'm guessing the "potato scone" is a fairly recent concoction? [/quote] Can't remember where I did and did not get them, but I've never been in Ireland and have travelled between Scotland and Cornwall. That said, there must be one or more specialists on BC who can set me straight. b, b

[quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1366701005' post='2056017'] Is potato bread like a potato scone? [/quote] Yes, it can be. Potato bread can take many forms, and as a foreigner I guess the most widely known variant is the slices one gets with full English breakfasts in road restaurants. Tattie scones are within the realm, as are the flat varieties they sell here. Call me ignorant! best, bert

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1366731897' post='2056569'] Oh, sometimes threads that I am watching don't appear in the "my content" part. Some of them randomly disappear for a few days. Don't know if it's a common problem or not, but I thought i'd mention it here, since that's what you're looking for, isn't it? [/quote] On that note, there must be a bug in "my content" as it dispatches recent postings spread over several "my content" pages. Depending on circumstances one could even find a very recent post on page 21 of "my content" even when one has chosen to list by last post date. BTW, Milty, threads you're watching can be found in "content I follow" rather than "my content". Sorry. Couldn't resist. Just to add to the statistics, I have not noticed this building up of tension that Kiwi mentions in the OP. May have to do with what I watch and what not. Also, I don't know what "lately" means here. If I have one "complaint", it has nothing to do with the moderation or the general feel and content, which both are great. best, bert

Hey Kevin, Welcome! What can I say. I can't play like you, and will never learn to play like you, but if I could, I'd do it twice as good. Enjoy the banter! best, bert

[quote name='ebenezer' timestamp='1366716434' post='2056281'] ps....saw pics on net of hb and ibanez prometheon(inside amp)...looks identical(components etc) [/quote] Looks identical yes. However, IMS, as far as I've read up on this (mainly on BC I suppose), the Ibanez is the only one with a different preamp and the mini jacks on the front, and the Beta Aivin has an extra button or port on the back. best, bert

Hey Andrew, Welcome! Enjoy it, and don't be a stranger. best, bert

I would, but probably not my standard glasses. Elton John Xtra Lite, me.
