On the Spector web page there is a fairly comprehensive history/model page which might give you the answer, sorry I can't help more hopefully someone else may be able to give you chapter and verse from the photo :-)

Looks like you might have a business opportunity there! :-)

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1410343766' post='2548279'] Who's policing all of this 'bad form' and making the rules..? What [i]are [/i]the rules, in fact..? [/quote] Hmm, sounds like a new quango is in order... ;-)

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1410251797' post='2547435'] ... a great idea for a thread that will run and run... [/quote] I'm sure it will but I'm equally sure it will get sillier and sillier too ;-)

"... a three piece, ya know, three musicians and a singer". Said, I believe, by Rudy Sarzo sometime in the eighties. :-)

Check out the Warwick rockbass series - cheap, 6str guitarist friendly, and good enough for band use.

[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1410077798' post='2545801'] So, do you have enough responses to post your reason for the straw poll? I'm dying of curiosity here! [/quote] +1 :-)

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1409836632' post='2543797'] Now come on guys, is this a peccadillo or a quirk? They're not the same, you know. [/quote] Ha ha, it's an eccentricity... ;-)

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1409663562' post='2541957'] ...He didn't have a million cymbals either [size=4] [/size] [/quote] I played a while with a drummer who thought it a good idea to double cymbals up, everything he played sounded like a dustbin fight - he thought it funny when I said this tho...

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1409582231' post='2541119'] No brainer Nik - you organised it, you choose! But thanks for asking ... [/quote] +1

Many thanks to Nik and the others for giving their time and effort to organise this.

[quote name='6v6' timestamp='1409140901' post='2536701'] Get yourself a subscription to spotify for a few months - it provides themed "radio" which are playlists based on stuff you've listened to, or a genre, or artists etc. I've discovered more new music via that recently than I have in years of buying CD's. [/quote] +1 I've abandoned playlists in favour of 'following' artists and playing their 'radios' - according to mood

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1409126447' post='2536479'] If you have no search presence, it's vital. The OP is well ranked in Google though, so yes - it's a moot point. [/quote] If you have no search presence then you virtually don't exist ;-) also be careful of using unsafe characters in URI's

The domain name is irrelevant to people finding your site, but once they do get there it would be better not to have the unfortunate letter combination at all. What about using one of the new TLDs instead? I.e .rocks http://www.name.com/domains/rocks giving you the chance for something like www.sixties.explosion.rocks

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1408636616' post='2532106'] Mmmm ,maybe something like the sonus(poxy spellchecker), would be more suitable . I like the look of it myself. Think it's called the b2m or something ... [/quote] It's the Sonuus B2M. They're usable when playing so as to give a very clean fundamental, I.e. avoiding transients and overtones.

I've found my enjoyment of playing has just increased over the years, ok - decades as other musicians I'm involved with are less concerned with ego and 'making it' and more with just having fun :-)

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1408295519' post='2528735'] Sony Xperia XP using 60Mb wi-fi when at home? Really, some people's pics are HUGE file sizes. [/quote] I'll obviously have to look at more photos of basses for sale, oh that's gonna help my GAS! ;-)

I had a quick play on a dingwall, the scale lengths range from 34" to 37" and the 2nd to 5th stretch you posted in the pic I can just about make the same on the 34" string and on the 37" string the 4th finger is halfway between frets so I reckon there's about 15mm extra needed in stretch for the extra 3" oh er! So if the reverse be true going from 34 to 31 would that be useful? Plus I can't make that stretch under 'playing' conditions anyway (small hands too) neither do I use my fourth finger a great deal nor have I been conscious of working around that even with stuck in the middle. HTH.

Actually it sounds like part of the problem may be an underpowered or "on the way out" phone as you shouldn't get slow pic loading or the aw snap message from jpgs over WiFi or 3g.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1408204816' post='2528081'] It's just that it's been posted lots of times on BC by people who think they're posting it for the first time... as you did. [/quote] And the punishment is that you have to stay on BC for the next 50 posts of that video... ☺

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1408036544' post='2526530'] Indeed, though it is no laughing matter. Mr Blackman was an exponent of musical agit-prop at a time when it was neither popular nor profitable. Consider: The choice of song - Mule Train - is designed to evoke the sense of endless, enforced labour, each slave harnessed to his fellow. The Mule is quite clearly representative of Oppressed Man. The tin tray is a symbol for Revolution while Mr Blackman's head and torso are emblematic of the existing body politic. Each blow he strikes upon himself is analogous of the blows that Revolution must make upon the fortress of Reaction. In beating himself thusly he makes a personal sacrifice on all our behalves; it must have bloody hurt, doing that twice nightly and three times on matinee days.
