    Don't even think about being sorry. Remember this was a friendly community?
    BTW, I didn't even answer to your post. Was just interested and found the gear page on Hellborg's site.

    Ha det bra!

    Thanks for telling, Chorlton!
    I was thinking of adding the ABM 115 to my MAG 410 combo, and later buying ABM separates to replace the combo with, but was a bit wary about having a 210 rather than a 410 on top of the 115. I'm glad you're satisfied.

    This place seems a lot friendlier than another forum I recently joined ;)

    Lemme guess: that be the forum where 73.8% of sentences start with the word "I" then?

    From Hellborg's website:

    [color=#000000]"Sound of Sweden" was the name of a brand Jonas created with some friends in order to produce the Jonas Hellborg bass in '82-'84.[/color]

    [color=#000000]He also created an amplifier line, in partnership FBT, based in Recanati, Italy. It was the first biamped bass amplifier, in which each cabinet had its own power amp - one for the 15" and one for the 2x12".[/color]

    Hi, Honest Guy,


    Welcome to BC! I trust you'll enjoy.

    Thanks for mentioning the Reverend. I was just looking into their basses, as they seemed low-priced for the quality.

    GAS is really for bassists only. You guitards just buy good gear. We on the sLow End make terrible mistakes all the time, and don't realise before it's too late. Nice though, with 37 basses on the walls. Saves on expensive art 'n' stuff.

    Welcome, Stu!


    Keep your voice down, though. When I wanna make love to my bass, she's _already_ moaning: "You only say I'm pretty because you want my f-holes. I know very well you're lusting after Stu's dirty blonde slut, you bastard!"

    Great to read that this piece is not forgotten by all. Good stuff.


    Listening to Bass on the Broadband internet radio, as per Matteo's posting.

    Auditions: Who chooses the songs?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Apparently, different people have different styles.

    My audition experience (both ways) has been more of a two stage process:
    "Before learning any new songs, how about if you drop in and play a little for us. We'll have a chat and will try to play together. If we like each other, you could learn some of our songs, and we can see your learning ability that way."

    When we needed a new person in a job one day, we were impressed with one of the candidates' ability to set some boundaries for what he was willing to do. He was invited, confirmed our impression of him, and got the job.
