Apologies for digging up this old thread - is the Promethean P5110 tweeter adjustable or switchable...?

An amp stand is an effective way to raise up a guitar amp and point it towards the guitarist's ears: [url="http://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-stands/pid11315/cid584/quiklok-bs317-amp-stand.asp"]http://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-stands/pid11315/cid584/quiklok-bs317-amp-stand.asp[/url] Suddenly, the guitarist will understand why you think it's too loud

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1327193459' post='1507779'] Just so we're clear, here's the plan for dealing with this bloke:[list] [*]OP lures him to a deserted warehouse [*]Politely informs him OP is "no longer in the band" [*]Chrismuzz slaps him with his cock [*]Spike kicks him in the nuts [*]Steve injects his bell-end with mercury [*]Ed S knocks him out [*]I shoot him in the face [*]Jake eats his liver [/list] Followed by live music and disco till 1am. Cash bar, free parking. Tickets £10 in advance (£12 on the door) [color=#ffffff].[/color] [/quote] Who's selling the tickets...?

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1327150481' post='1507009'] Trouble is, even different versions of the Fender Jazz differ quite substantially, so you need to narrow down your benchmark, as a modern Standard US Fender is probably quite different in sound (it certainly is in spec) to a 62 re-issue.[/quote] Mmmmmmmm - the 62 reissue, the finest Jazz bass I have ever played is my Fender Jap 62 reissue. I would recommend it to anyone. Fantastic fast neck, punchy pickups and more comfort than you could find in Anna Nicole Smith's cleavage I think defining the Jazz will always be contentious so let's discuss our favourites and why...

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1327180178' post='1507625'] Tru dat, and the other word which springs to mind is HUBRIS. [/quote] Great word - I don't think I've ever used it in conversation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubris

[quote name='Len_derby' timestamp='1327173282' post='1507487'] I've come across similar (but not as bad) with church bands I've been involved with. They seem to attract meglomaniac n**heads. [/quote] That's what church is all about ain't it...megalomania... I would have quit same as you.

Ah OK then - only when you know you have a true Standby switch

As I understand it, yes

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1327167446' post='1507375'] I believe that's a definite No-No. [/quote] As I understand it - no harm will occur to a valve amp as long as the Standby is OFF. *EDIT* - for clarity, I mean switched to no output.

I have a 60s Framus 5-string which is in my repair shop for some TLC (been there for a couple of years ) - this thread will encourage me to get it fixed up.

If you're worried about it, try EQing your listening track with a graphic or parametric to lift out the bass line a little. If you're [i]really[/i] worried, TAB here: [url="http://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/ac-dc-its-a-long-way-to-the-top-bass-tab-s61897t5"]http://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/ac-dc-its-a-long-way-to-the-top-bass-tab-s61897t5[/url]

Don't forget the Golden Rules...

I would wait until Hiwatt reply and see what they suggest.

If there's one left, I'd like a JE book...let me know. Cheers

The RAH is a good venue and sounds good too - only downside is the beer prices

[url="http://www.bobbyvega.com/store.php"]http://www.bobbyvega.com/store.php[/url] "The pick" - $20 I'd be interested to hear what you think about it.

Mmmm - nice to see some new medium and short scale types.

Much love here for Mr B.Vega I think he has a DVD you can buy from his website.

In my experience, it's all in the wrist action - get that nice and loose and the rest will fall into place. There are many ways to hold a pick and many pick shapes and thicknesses - find what you feel most comfortable with. I'm not a fan of very heavy picks (many bass players use very thick/stiff picks 1mm or more thick). I use Tortex yellow (0.73mm) or green (0.88mm). Practice with a drum loop or metronome downstrokes and up/downstrokes and remember that palm muting with your picking hand can be fantastically effective: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6bhcDlfwWc&feature=related"]Bobby Vega[/url]
