[quote name='spinynorman' post='741850' date='Feb 11 2010, 11:26 AM']What would TCV have turned out like with McCartney on bass ????[/quote]

I have a pjb briefcase and have never experienced any whistling noise whatsoever. I'm not sure if the power amps are substantially different but mine's always been very quiet. It sounds suspect to me - especially coming from a manufacturer who also designs high end hifi. I'd contact PJB direct by email to confirm the info you've been told.

I don't do it most of the time, but if there's a fast or especially lyrical bit i'm trying to imitate i find it helps me with timing. It really helped me recently trying to get the groove for fat larry's band - act just like you know.

[quote name='garry' post='560971' date='Aug 5 2009, 10:44 AM']a kind of related tanget, heres a wee vid about diy cymatics, 'visible sound'. making dancing shapes by pouring corn starch on your favourite speaker cones. [url="http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2009/08/collins_lab_notes_diy_cymatics.html"]make online visible sound[/url][/quote] haha, that's amazing. It looks like claymation. If i were a scientist that would be called [i]The Trap Door Effect[/i]!

i guess it does seem a bit unreal. I assumed it might be a frame/refresh rate thing. Similar to when you see alloy wheels on an accelerating car reverse direction. Your eyes can only see things so fast so you see a strobe effect.

I thought i'd share some great footage of the movement of bass strings taken with a high speed camera. It's on vimeo so i'm not sure i can embed it: [url="http://vimeo.com/4041788"]http://vimeo.com/4041788[/url]

I saw Jim play with Jimmy Smith - the guy's playing was jaw-dropping. I hope he's ok and tonight goes well.

Me too - Beedster's very kindly sent me a spare he has so it won't be long before i'm back up and running. Thanks to all posters and especially Beedster! Paul

[quote name='rslaing' post='509722' date='Jun 9 2009, 11:13 PM']Have you tried the bassdoc? He has things like this from time to time.[/quote] I haven't - i guess he's a BC'er right? [quote name='Beedster' post='509946' date='Jun 10 2009, 10:01 AM']I have some spares (from the Bass Doc who rescued me when I was in a similar situation). Post a pic of the tuner in question and if it's the right one you're sorted. By the way, a few weeks back I ordered from BPR on a Monday and the part arrived on the Thursday. 4 days from the states! Chris[/quote] If you have a spare you don't mind getting rid of that would be great, if not it's a relief to hear i wont need to wait too long to get my bass in tune again! Thanks for the suggestions guys

[quote name='hubrad' post='509008' date='Jun 9 2009, 01:33 PM']Try any decent Fender dealer for a badged replacement. Probably to order in but should be available. We have a few single Schaller (often used on Fender) in the shop. Someone on BC may be selling one.[/quote] I tried everyone on Denmark today and had no joy, even though Rose Morris is a fender dealer - will try the Bass Gallery tomorrow. [quote name='Buzz' post='509358' date='Jun 9 2009, 06:19 PM']Just to let you know, Bass Parts Resource are good to deal with, a number of us have used them in the past, obviously you'll have to wait the 4/5 weeks for it to come from across the pond, but no problems when I've used them.[/quote] Cheers Buzz, may have to go with BPR if i can only buy sets of tuners. I need to use a hard case in future :/

Yep, public transport and a not entirely sober bass player has resulted in a broken machinehead on my s-1 jazz. I've had a search online, but so far i've only found "bass parts resource" which is in the US. Does anyone know a place in the UK that can sell me a single OEM replacement? ta much, Paul

[quote name='dood' post='471665' date='Apr 24 2009, 04:19 PM']For a Tapper / Slapper, the most versatile compressor that I have ever used is the [b]TC Electronic C300 [/b]and its XLR version the C400. As opposed to most compressors, it features program specific compression in the form of Full, and Multiband Spectral. ... I still use my C300. I rate TC Electronic gear very highly.[/quote] +1 for the c300, i followed Dood's recommendation & I've been really pleased with the results from this rack unit- it sounds very open to my ears but can do the squishy stuff well too.

Thanks for posting this - i'm working my way through it

Could the pups be wired out of phase? I remember seeing a helpful youtube video about it, but i can't find it atm. I think the symptoms were something like low output when both pickups are on full, but with either the nexk or bridge soloed the volume was louder. I'll try to find the vid, but i'm sure someone here knows about it. Paul

I like that track, sounds very Cinematic Orchestra to me.
