budget bassist

That's awesome, i heard they were a really nice bunch of guys

This sounds really cool, can't wait to see the final pictures

Dude! i'd so come see you at rock city if it wasn't my mate's birthday that night! Are you in the basement? If it's cheap enough on the door i might make a special appearance I'll only be having a drink round the corner in speak easy anyway.

[quote name='josh3184' post='375385' date='Jan 9 2009, 04:50 PM']P-Nut sig is nice. The biggest thing for me is the changes in the rockbasses. Look like much more solid instruments, especially the rockbass $$, that'll be quite good methinks[/quote] Exactly what this man said! That zender sig has confused though. I thought he didn't play warwick anymore? And i'm sure he never played anything like that. It's pretty... but i don't get it.

Can't help thinking that it reminds me of myself at age 14 with my Satellite Les Paul and my first distortion pedal No accounting for taste though is there? Chrid[/quote] Reminds me of playing my first bass through my first practice amp that was actually a guitar amp and putting the distortion on full, i sounded crap! Though obviously i thought it was the dog's bollocks

Once we were doing band practice in this little pub skittle alley, and we wondered (rather, our lead singer wondered) how our full stage rig would sound (we had our own PA), and it was so loud it made me go dizzy for a bit

Don't forget to count each wind!

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' post='375183' date='Jan 9 2009, 02:32 PM']I have Googled with all my power, and can not find anything that corroborates the claims made above. There are some results which make reference to the fact that some local councils may require venues to have a limiter before they will issue an entertainment license, but these go back decades. There is nothing specific to 2009. I'm finding it very hard to take this petition seriously. S.P.[/quote] Try BBC news

[quote name='WarPig' post='375145' date='Jan 9 2009, 02:12 PM']Does anything ever happen with these petitions? Im going to sign it, but i dont see the government listening.[/quote] Do you remember that proposed device the government wanted to fix to your car so they could tax you by your mileage, rather than using tax discs, or something like that. A petition on there stopped it. And as for the actual issue at hand, i've seen articles in the news etc about it, i can't give you a link because i can't remember where it was, you'll have to take my word for it, but it's not a hoax.

I'll post it on some other forums to get some notice

[quote name='bremen' post='375120' date='Jan 9 2009, 01:58 PM']What's to stop me starting a rumour that chocolate is going to be banned and putting up a petition? Soon as I hear it from a reliable source I'll sign. 70dB is hardly louder than a telly, spl meters read instantaneous peak rather than average over a relevant period and if it's true it's bad science as much as it is bad lawmaking.[/quote] That's the official 10 downing street website, that IS the source

Signed. This isn't a hoax, i've read about this a few times and i've been dead against it the whole time. 70DB is avsolutely f*** all. It's not until about 85-90DB that it starts to get damaging, and bearing in mind that every 6DB, the sound is twice as loud, that's a hell of a lot louder. Personally, i think that if you go to a gig where your hearing could potentially be damaged, then it's your own responsibility to protect your ears and nobody else's. As for the link with loud music and binge drinking, well that's just bullshit, total utter f***ing bullshit. Live music has taken enough of a downturn lately (particularly in notts with one of the better venues closing), don't let the government put the final nail in the coffin people!

Sold him a pair of bart pickups and he made it nice and easy and fast for me, top guy Now he just needs to start posting here more than ultimate guitar!

nice collection, you seem to have turned it totally inside out within a few months! i love that black sparkle ray, and that yamaha BB is one of the only BB series basses i've ever found attractive (black + gold = timeless classic), very nice

[quote name='martfitz' post='374536' date='Jan 8 2009, 10:27 PM']They're not to fill the gap left by the OLP and SUB as these new ones aren't budget basses, that gap is going to be filled by something else, allegedly [/quote] Sterling actualluy said they're to fill the gap made by the SUBs, they aren't exactly budget, they're kinda mid priced korean made basses. I have to say, i'd quite like a go on one of those SB-14s. And as for the source, [url="http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-basses/34835-update-jan-7-anniversary-bass-preview.html"]this[/url] thread on the EBMM forum, check the last 3 or 4 pages, all the pictures i posted are there, or from a couple of other fairly recent threads on that forum.
