And what about a J with a series switch to sound like a P? Is this "sitting on the fence" or true hermaphroditism? EDIT: Or am I just fooling myself and should I just buy a P and swap the necks over? Or grow an extra finger and stop moaning about fat necks?

Like they said. Stick with it mush.

[quote name='BassManKev' post='179482' date='Apr 18 2008, 08:31 AM']how did it become loose? didnt even notice it[/quote] Just bought it, but it's too loose for me, I like 'em nice and tight! EDIT: It's a 1/16". Shame the Allen key marked 1/16" was too small. Don't buy B&Q, buy RS!

[quote name='Muppet' post='178844' date='Apr 17 2008, 02:02 PM']What version D tuner do you have? Mine doesn't seem to have a grub screw of any type....[/quote] Ah. The Hipshot BT-2 for USA '67-'82 Fender P & J Bass. Also retrofits Geddy Lee, reissue '67-'82 Fender. Ta.

Cheeky "3 hours less 'till Saturday morning" bump.

[quote name='geilerbass' post='178716' date='Apr 17 2008, 12:04 PM']Unfortunately, i don't think we'd have the option of putting anything in the cabin since in addition to my two basses there will be 2 guitars and 2 keyboards. I doubt there'd be enough cabin room for all that.[/quote] There's your answer - gits, keys and their owners in the hold, leaving room for bass on plane. Sorted.

[quote name='AlRainbow' post='178704' date='Apr 17 2008, 11:43 AM']Anyone got any good exercises to help my recovery? Also any ideas for problems with a tennis elbow injury?[/quote] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=17079&hl=powerball"]This[/url]. Allegedly.

So, I've got a D-tuner and I want to tighten the tuning key up to make it more rigid. Fnarr. Is it a standard imperial or metric size? Is it f***. Any ideas what the size is and where I might be able to get one anyone? Er, by Saturday morning! I thank you in advance, John.

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='177535' date='Apr 16 2008, 01:19 AM']So that's nearly five hours at the venue, plus all the carting around of kit, to get 30 minutes of rushed stage time. After several hours of practising new tracks, only one of the three we played from the set list was new.[/quote] All for an Ayrton. Brucie.

[quote name='Jase' post='177469' date='Apr 15 2008, 11:20 PM']Aye, they have. It's weird, I was 17 then...SEVENTEEN!!!! or 16, can't remember [/quote] You old gits - I was a mere 15!

[quote name='Jase' post='177047' date='Apr 15 2008, 02:11 PM']Perfect Strangers is a great album, I was lucky enough to get tickets at the reunion in Knebworth in 85, I feel really old now Weird thing is all I can remember is Meatloaf with his broken leg, the mud, Mamas Boys (anyone remember them!) Scorpions and the fact that Blackmore's guitar sound blew me away, oh, and the laser effects. UFO rings a bell too.[/quote] Blackfoot & Mountain. Hmmm, Blackfoot tribute band, hmmm...

No SuperComp, but some good reviews [url="http://www.ev-b.com/compressors.html#top"]here[/url]

[quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='176551' date='Apr 14 2008, 06:42 PM']I've never liked ashdown gear, every show i've played with one, its sounded muddy and wooley, between the two, hartke definitely.[/quote] Conversely, I find Hartke gear tinny & thin compared to Ashdown (lets stick together on this one, Machines), but that might just be the alu cones. The only way is to try some mate, ideally A/Bing them at proper volume in a sound room. Or just buy an Ashdown.

[quote name='ped' post='175220' date='Apr 12 2008, 03:30 PM']I have procells just because I get them from central TV for free - they seem fine....[/quote] That reminds me, there's something I must bring home from work tomorra...

I can honestly say that I am currently in remission from GAS with regards to my sound. I love all my current kit, it works together beautifully and the best bit believe it or not, has to be the Geddy Lee with the Wizard 84's and a series / parallel switch - I just love the noise it makes. Or does the compressor make it sound that way? Or is it the preamp valve? Oh, the D-tuner should arrive by the end of the week. With the pedal PSU. I hereby rescind my initial statement. GAS is like piles. Or herpes - a friend for life.

Let me know if you break any limbs and need a stand-in... It's only a few hours in the car. John.

Yup, all the time. And it's "little" finger.
