I actually put a chair on mine and sit on it but yes - imagine it like standing on the grille of an upturned speaker cab. Feels awesome

Different thing - you stand on a bassboard

I'm sitting on mine right now!! To be honest I think it's one of my best buys - it enables you to 'feel' the bass as if you're sitting in front of a massive speaker stack. I use mine as part of my studio/office setup for playing bass and listening to music. It helps with timing, feel, and it's nearly silent. I haven't used it 'live' yet but will be in a few weeks.

Not this time.

Yes I think we’re done here - our annual Finnbass recruitment drive looks like it’s been a success!

I’ll PM you

As I say I think I read it somewhere. That’s not the same as spreading lies 🥺 And with regard to your second point, most of it was behind a forum you can only read as a member. I’m now banned and it’s probably been deleted. Trust me, it was there.

Do you know what IIRC means? I’m sure that’s what I read at one point, or maybe it was the new ‘movingair’ forum which was going to be the next big thing and take all my members.

Finnbass was brilliant, it really served a purpose for us as we could send anyone who couldn’t behave on BC over there where people could spout off about how we’re Nazis and so forth in an echo chamber. Lots of very nasty things said about me there, quite funny to read at first but actually quite upsetting, sad and frightening at the same time. Wishing them all the luck in the world, the more the merrier etc. IIRC the owner got locked out of the forum somehow and couldn’t get back in or decided not to bother.

Love a bit of transferwise

If the Benton has the same comp as the DI pedal they do, it’s noisy and horrible.

Yes a lot of the used stuff is sold on commission. Perhaps the market is a little down at the moment as many are sold by our European friends and some might hold off until next year.

We took lots of ideas from TB but left some others out - for example I still don’t like the ‘supporting member’ system because it creates a sort of two tier class system where supporting members tend to feel their opinion is more important.

The site was the inspiration for this one and there’s a huge amount of experience and some great people on there. With any site that size you’re going to get some arses who like the sound of their own voice but imo if you ask a good question and don’t give them any room for stupid replies to generally can find what you need.

This - a Sadowsky sounds like a Sadowsky with the preamp flat, the pre amp is just an EQ like any other. Plugging a thunderbird into a Sadowsky preamp will give you a thunderbird sound with some bass and treble controls. IMO a great bass sounds great with the pre bypassed, then it’s there for fine adjustment.

Your username could make a catchy headline - was that your plan all along!

It was ped ☺️

Yeeehh

Last time I was there a bunch of teenagers took me and my friends to an abandoned garage somewhere near the fish market and there’s was a huge party! Quite a pleasant surprise because I was getting ready for a ‘Taken’ type scenario which with hindsight would have been awesome too I’ll get back to you RE the address thing once I’m at my computer. 👍🏼

I think not but I’ll check again later. You could put the part about having moved at the top of the first post in bold for now, perhaps. I love Copenhagen! Cheers Chris

3.5 for me. Vigier Passion Series II 1988 (It’s my graphite slap machine) Ken Smith BT4 1984 (my Hi-Fi bass) G&L SB1 1991 (my flatwound P non Hi-Fi bass) Wingbass 16” (my little synth machine and chill out bass)

I think modern amps tend to have a cleaner sound with more headroom and they allow people to hear their flats better than ever - they don't/shouldn't sound just like 'dead' strings, they have a rich and deep sound that is better reproduced by a modern HiFi amp in my experience. I actually find the treble component essential in making a great flat sound because the strings produce some bright clank which gives some definition, if you let it.
