[quote name='gadgie' timestamp='1402717111' post='2476275'] I was approached by a BIKE mag to talk about owning a bike they want to feature. [/quote] That would be the one standing in the Ducati shed then?

IMHO, the RedSub (White Horse) sounds much better than the Cube, but sadly it seems built with more crappy components. I had this thought: how about if part of your experience is about the 210 working at half the excursion compared to a 110, thus at this low volume reducing the resolution of the signal? Dunno, but sounds logic to me as to the physics involved, and seems to fit with experience.

Thanks, Bill, but this guy has already spent hours searching. Should've mentioned that, but it escaped my mind.

Now sold for £950, it says.

A guy had damage in several bits of gear (an expensive SVT was among them. Ouch!) after a storm with lightning whilst he was away. His TC BG250 had the VDR (protection resistor) blown up, but he tried bypassing it for testing, and yes: the amp still works. Now he wants to put in a new VDR, but can't find its value. Anyone in the know, can find out quickly or help us to find out? On the printboard, it's R4 (no value info on the board). The guy tried TC, but it's friday evening... Thanks! Bert

My ex is very supportive.

Welcome Iain! Yup: nice intro, nice gear, nice obligatory cat-in-avatar... BC stamp of approval applied. Enjoy! Bert

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1402590907' post='2475126'] Those Tyler headstocks are pretty abominable. The Bongo headstock & the G&L ones with the stupidly impractical pointy/wavy bit would be on my list too. [/quote] +1, especially the 6-string Bongo. Still want one though.

Unless you need the extra knobs of the 112, the 208 seems like the necessary choice as long as its the only one they make with the speaker ourput. Sfar as I remember, all the other ones come with the many knobs amp, and only the 208 comes with the trimmed down version, but I may remember incorrectly.

That sounds like a good outcome. Congrats for now!

Nice stuff. How did you find out, Hiram? Just remembered it? I liked this recurring drummer on the bass drum. What a lovely idea! So what one needs live is some sensors on the drummer, some electronics and a projector. I'd do that!

The way I read it is that they take that $180 fee on top of the federal fees, and I hope I'm wrong but they also do not say that that includes the federal fee. Maybe best to make sure before reaching a decision.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1402476210' post='2473822'] @ Betafunk - Why has this thread had much more interest than one about Jaco's new video? Well, from my perspective, although I own and occasionally enjoy Weather Report/Jaco music, I have limited interest in exploring bootlegs/previously unrealeased material. However, I've found this thread interesting as it raises some issues around forum etiquette/psychology. It highlights the variety of what people are thinking when they post, and I've found it a useful avenue of getting to know others in this community that bit more. I know enough about Basschat that some members won't give a sh*t about that, but that knowledge in itself is useful for knowing who to engage with on certain topic, and how to go about it. [/quote] + <high number> This is what I could not express, expressed a lot better than I could've expressed it if I could've expressed it. BTW, I do not understand the meaning of BetaFunk's last sentence, but hope it just means he's staying away from this topic, and not staying away from BC. This is the second time I have to say this in few hours, but to me it seems BetaFunk is an asset to BC, and I hope he stays.

Rich, you have just cost me fifty quid. Thanks for that very helpful post. Twas what I needed to read.

That sounds very sad to me (but realise I do not totally understand your text and its implications), and I hope you're not doing this in a sudden attack of depression or something like it. I hope you're doing OK. If you do persist in this choice, I just hope that you made the right decision for you, and also that you will be OK in the time ahead. Yes, please do indeed stay here with us! It's more cozy that way! I think you're an asset to BC. Whatever happens: All the best! bert

[quote name='planer' timestamp='1402420224' post='2473327'] that *points upwards* is a corker. [/quote] Would you please explain what that means? Merriam-Webster didn't help me, and the Urban Dictionary indicates wildly varying meanings.

[quote name='hairychris' timestamp='1402418035' post='2473299'] Unmodded Muff? Is this some sort of swear word/entity? [/quote] Hehehe. No, not really. Twas just an attempt at a joke containing a cry-out for the mods due to the "muff" word (which means "vagina", right?), and in the next line it appears the crying was not about the vagina after all, but about some rather non-important technical details. You probably know this a lot better than I do, but just in case: the original Big Muff has been modded for four decades or so, and a plethora of different fuzzes exist that are basically variants over the original Big Muff. I get the impression there are hundreds by now. As to the Rickenbacker rumpus, in essence it's just about BC not being able to accept responsibility for sales ads for Ricks as these ads might instead contain unlawful imitations of some sort or another. So BC is not a Rick free zone, even if BC has worded it that way, and one is free to discuss and show both Ricks, Rick copies, Rick imitations, Rick covers and Rick tributes. Hope this helps. BC is basically a friendly, tolerant place. Have fun! Bert

Sfar as I've understood up to now, they're used for many different things: - lyrics - notes or tabs - virtual amps with - effects processing - looping etc. - playing pre-recorded stuff - as synths - with the screen as input device rather than a keyboard or other MIDI controller and probably a lot more.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1402406957' post='2473106'] Fixed [/quote] Demn you! That was MY line!

MODS! He said "muff"! ...without adding "Russian" or "modded" or "Sovtek" or "Myrtle" or .... !!! Welcome, Chris! Nice introduction too. As I like Melvins and Nile, it's your fault I have to check out the other ones you mention - stuff I've never even heard about. Anyway, enjoy the banter! Bert

[quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1402395965' post='2472929'] Well it was good enough for James Joyce: [/quote] Good one! [quote name='gadgie' timestamp='1402397154' post='2472950'] lets meet outside the bike sheds at 4pm. [/quote] Which one: the Kawa shed or the HD shed? Unkind regards, Arthur Twosheds

Congrats! Do I owe you flowers now, or a fruit basket or sumtin?
