I wonder if they have a competion at ashdown to try and come up with the most illegible text?

In many cases, not this. If you haven't heard it, how could the notes be intuitive?

Oh I had no trouble returning something to them. Well, apart from hermes lost it, and it took them a month before they would acknowledge that hermes lost it, then it took them another month to do something about it. Still, at least it gives you a phone call to look forward to every day!

Took it to a practice yesterday with my EHB1505MS as a backup. Switched between them but ended up using it for all songs, apart from one that needed a 5. It sounds so full and very bassy. It also has a higher output than the 1505 - which has the Nordstrand Big Splits, had to turn it down to stop overdriving the amp, it had a considerable volume difference. So easy to play!

Bax charge vat on their website, and no additional charges are made when they deliver. Well, if they deliver.

I am not sure what not letting everyone know the bands plans is going to help. Surely those things need to be discussed as a band so everyone knows?

It would be nice to live in a country where you can just put Tony, Belgium and it gets to you! Ironically, my Father was called Tony, and he lived in belgium, and all that time I didn't try it. But probably because I would haver written 'Dad, belgium' and that is probably trickier.

I regret selling my double neck 6/12 ibanez, but that was also in the 80s and it was either that or getting kicked out of my house. edit- it migh have been that that makes me regret selling other things that matter less.

I always get a tinge of regret selling guitars, but in all honesty all the ones I have sold have been good decisions, ie, they really weren't getting used.

Take the ugliness of the ric controls and graft them on to the ugly body of a telecaster, and you are really onto a winner!

So what was the problem with it? I know quite a few people who went to other gigs and were impressed.

There is a lot of acoustic stuff round here at the moment, I know quite a lot of people in those sort of groups now. Its not for me but probably good for people who like that kind of thing.

I play whatever is fun to play, whatever I like to play and some songs that are neither fun or I particulary like that the crowd like (like sex on fire). The ones I normally don't like are the ones we play badly, in that I would rather not play something at all than play it badly. There are a few things that I wont play and that is fine because we have no real style, so we have all the songs the whole of the last 60 years to pick from so there is no real issue apart from drunk people in pubs calling for some of them, but then they can just blame me and we carry on.

I had an ibanez ric copy when I first started, loved that bass, but it got nicked. Had a rockinbetter, actually had two, they are good but the bridges aren't great and you can't replace them with anything else as it would mess the scale up.

Why not go back to the bog standard squier pickup, put a bit of copper shielding in the cavities, tie it to earth and avoid tvs and florescent tubes?

I have used an X18 mixer for our band for the past 4 years, before that an XR16. The other day a friend asked me to do the sound for their gig, so I went along and they had a manual mixer. It was really hard getting round the limitations of it going back, I certainly wouldn't want to do that for myself!

So that is what you were saying before - when in series, C2 is parallel with the bottom coil, making a tuned circuit giving you a big boost at a certain frequency, the certain frequency depending on what the inductance of the coil is, I am guessing from the sound demos some mid range frequency.

Will be there, obvs!

And to save people the problem of searching for it, it is here!

I think if he wanted to go for it he would have done so 9 years ago when this was posted!

hahah - I would never keep a sticker on anything, but would find it very difficult to get upset what someone else did on their own bass!

They are mormons though aren't they? Not that I am saying you shouldn't burn your Osmonds records anyway (apart from of course Crazy horses)

The spalted one with the EMGs? Oh you wont regret that one at all, I found it really comfortable to play at the bash but sitting in a chair at home it is even better. I will gig this the next time we gig, it sounds a lot bigger than it looks.
