Bah! How can our lives be good? You still haven't married us! Congrats on your first year! You may now proceed and congratulate me with my first year and a few weeks. best, bert

Thanks, CB! I'll send that to her. best, bert

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1351723954' post='1854783'] Yep! [/quote] Thanks big time! I can now finish the "manual" and get it out to her today. Tomorrow my new Bongo will arrive at her house, and she'll start her bass career with that plus a Squier CV Jazz '60s. Not bad, I imagine. best, bert

Listened. Got impressed. Voted. best, bert

Thanks! So age doesn't come into it then, and a 2009 HS is 4-band just like the new ones? Sorry I forgot to mention its age earlier. best, bert

Thanks, DrT! But is the HS a 4-band? I bought it as being a 3-band. best, bert

Sounds like the question of an idiot, and of course it is. Haven't got my 4-band HH Bongo here, and am writing a manual for another noob about a 3-band HS I've never seen. So: can anyone please tell me what the different knobs on the HS do? I'm guessing, FLTR on right-handed bass: - volume - pup blend - bass (+mid?) - treble (+mid?) Or? best, bert

Hi Stevie, One Love right back atcha. Welcome to BC, the greatest ever basschat forum in history with the name basschat.co.uk! I see a lot of love for the Westones here on BC. Back in the days I was stupid enough to just assume they were just another brand not worthy of investigation. Anyway, join the banter and enjoy your stay. best, bert

I may sound like a broken record even though I have the kilos to prove I'm not, but I keep stressing that taking care of the voice is the most important thing, closely followed by a motivating steep-as-possible learning curve. It's experienced teachers that will give you this. How is a YT-film going to listen to what he does and correct it right there and then? How is an instructional video going to work out a reasoned and professional plan for the specifics of his actual use of his voice? See the teacher! best, bert

Yes. That is: if I ever get a gig again. Had a gig in '02 or so, and have played bass after that, so there's still hope. best, bert

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1351691063' post='1854212'] Someone I occasionally play with as a dep was marvelling at 'all those effects pedals' I was using. What he was looking at was a tuner, a DI box and the receiver for my wireless unit. Not a single 'effect' in any of them! [/quote] Bloody fantastic! Must get me some of those. best, bert

As to Schoenberg, he broke his own rules and would exchange a theoretical note with one that sounded more musical to his ears. As far as I know, he never admitted this. Same goes for Xenakis, BTW, and he never admitted on doing so. best, bert

John, you're not worth them. Be a christian. Send them to Southern Norway this very minute. Please. Congrats, man! best, bert

Aww man, I feel guilty enough as it is without you rubbin' it in! People publish so much on so many places, and even trying to read something here inbetween customers is a hard task. .... OK, I'll try right now. No promises. best, bert

Hey Rod, Dunno. I think we kinda felt interesting knowing we were stalked. But g'day to you too. I liked "seriously(ish)" very much. As long as one enjoys it, it's OK, right? Now, be welcome and please enjoy! best, bert

Hi Teegee, Welcome! I suppose you want to understand what's he's on about, yes? I think you came to the right place. Enjoy! Ask anything you need to ask if a little search doesn't help. best, bert

Info? Me? You must be the most sarcastic bass tard on BC, Leen! Anyway, welcome to BC, Steve. From reading your intro it's apparent to me that you'll have a great time on here even though I disturb the peace here way too often. Nice to read that you play bass, btw, and as Leen says: it's very good for the environment too! Enjoy! best, bert

Nice one indeed. Congrats and enjoy. best, bert

I wanna marry you too, just like Bluejay and SpaceChick!

Sorry I forgot to tidy the room before they recorded this at my house. Seriously though, this is GAS inducing. Thanks for posting. best, bert

[quote name='StephenFerguson' timestamp='1351482483' post='1851663'] There is no excuse for owning a headless bass [/quote] Stephen, you know I love you like a brother, but this ... ! The cricket bat is one of the coolest bass designs in the history of mankind. Fact. Regular bodies with headless necks are another story, but I'm not gonna empty my stomach just to describe them. best, bert

No. Now ask me about 32 years. best, bert

Essential: overdrive, fuzz, chorus. Then: compressor, octaver Then: a distortion if needed, and maybe a phaser or flanger, but I personally have used them for way too long, and am bored with them Then: a power supply for this! YMMV etc. etc. best, bert

I've used these for decades, and love them even more than I love my ex. There's another version that I like better, with two long arms with crocodile pinchers, so you can keep two objects very close to each other. best, bert

OK, but how do I turn on the function to ignore the sigs with all those nice Yammie BB's that I wish I had?
