[/quote] I agree about the GKL 200, based only on trying it through my BF Midget at last year's SE Bass Bash. Small enough to fit in your [u]coat[/u] pocket though!

Want your valves tested FOC? Bring them over to me! The gadget can test most types (except rectifiers), but they they must be cold.

[quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1408904405' post='2534502'] Yup all the off beat snare stuff was driving our drummer wild, didn't help the singer was using the snare as his cue lol. Drummer ended up simplifying a bit and we got through it a few times before I decided my woah woahs on BV's sounded so naff we decided to bin it. If I could just persuade the rest of the buggers to do BV's as well, we might be cookin' [/quote] Sadly I don't have the option of binning it as I am playing it on a dep job for a wedding! Previously depped with the same band on guitar without a problem, so I think the drummer may have 'rationalised' it.

Zombie thread time! This is not a technically difficult song to play on bass, but does anyone else think the drums in the 'oh-oh' bit are off-putting? That snare is all over the place!

No surprise that it is still in stock from when I tried it a year ago (and came out with a G&L at about 1/5 the price!)

I've quite liked some MM basses I've played, but the skinny-strings leave me cold - they're like some kind of slimmed-down precision tool, only less exciting.

Bought my Gretsch Duo Jet in there about 4 years ago. Last time I was in they had a great selection of basses in the cellar, including The Best Jazz Wot I Have Ever Played. Someone off BC bought it the following week (I forget who). Also been in with other people to act in an advisory capacity (ahem). I've never found them less than helpful.

Fender Rumble. Next!

Can you? Yes. Should you? No! Well maybe. Bear in mind the side dots will be in line with the frets and not in-between, unless you get them moved at the same time.

I always coil my cables as per the video. If you make all the windings the same way, you end up with more and more twist in the cable, which manifests itself in loops and kinks that encourage tangling.

As a Mustang owner/player, I can confirm that long-stretch bass-lines on the lower frets are much easier on a short-scale. The difficulty comes when you revert to 34in scale!

[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1408277356' post='2528504'] unless your running the master volume up high which from knowing how loud the 500w version of this head was i doubt you are, i would think that you will be just fine. andy [/quote] What he said. I find I have to crank the gain pretty high on my Genz Benz head to get the preamp to overdrive on loud notes, but that is minimal compared to the kind of overdriving that valves are subjected to in guitar amps!

My fave is the Limelight P

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1408270171' post='2528423'] Since my PC died I've been viewing BC on my phone. So I've been learning things about the advantages (and otherwise) of mobile browsing. One issue becomes very clear - a lot of members post hefty, unprocessed pics that take ages to download at best and at worst trigger an 'Aw, Snap!' message, which means the entire thread cannot be viewed. So I can't see your FS threads, people! It's very easy to sort - if you don't have appropriate software on your pooter you can use an online pic optimiser such as www.imageoptimizer.net Think of your multi-platform viewers and increase your potential customers, people! I thank you! [/quote] What is optimum pic size for mobile viewing? Or will that optimizer website sort that for you?
