  1. Indeed. Just 50 more quid, and then the person that bought that thought 50 more quid and....
  2. I had a classic pro thunderbird and thought it was great, except I don't play 4 strings. But if I did, I would still have it!
  3. Congratulations, always good to win stuff (I assume, I don't tend to do it much)!
  4. I must admit to not having done much with the B1-4, but the B3 got pretty close on plug in baby. Certainly close enough for a pub. Shame I don't do anything like that now.
  5. The budget ibanez replacement bridges would be 16.5mm, some might be wider. 19mm spacing is what fender use, and as we all know, for a lot of people that is what a bass should be. Not something I enjoy
  6. Used to do that, but I guess yours must have sounded better, as I just used a B3.
  7. I thought their other song was good, just that that one lacked a bit of life.
  8. General pianos aren't tuned in equal temperament though, it wouldn't sound very good at all. http://piano-tuner.org/entropy
  9. Same here, so not sure of your point. That was a bland version, the same as the one above although one could argue it is her song to do how she wants, but not something I think is good. The original, non cover, which was effectively Alanis Morrisette and RHCP, had anger and passion, which both of these lack.
  10. Maybe that is why - I learned with the piano, so maybe that is why the just sounds so bad to me.
  11. I have nothing against covers in general, and I do like the original, but that takes all the anger away, which was frankly the whole point out of the song.
  12. It would probably be quite a lot of time and effort, and at what cost?
  13. I was quite surprised that Equal temperament sounded the best to me (just edging the 4th) and Just temperament sounded awful, I wouldn't have expected that at all. Maybe its just what I am used to. The last one was also almost as good - good old Werkmeister IIIrd!
  14. You are welcome to it - its not something I want on any of my basses.
  15. Oh no, that is odd, mine are pretty solid. And I didn't do much twisting! Can't you find anyone else around with a soldering iron?
  16. I have some real luminays, frankly they aren't much better, its hardly worth it. Its best to get something that shows when they are not glowing.
  17. While I agree that his voice comes along quite a lot in production, I wouldn't say "pretty much there", but certainly not too bad, we aren't talking Vince Neil levels of bad or anything. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how good he got it, considering where it started from and his pitch was pretty good.
  18. yep, the song was made for an advert then the group was made to promote the song as it proved popular
  19. if you search for "Genesis - The Last Domino? PBS Documentary" its the first hit on youtube.
  20. oh ok. Never listened to that. Not saying he isn't a good singer, I am saying that song doesn't sound right him doing it. If you wanted someone that sounded like Phil Collins, he isn't it. Which is presumably what they wanted for that album. - Edited to add, I have listened to that album a few times, but I couldn't remember any of the songs if they were played back to me in a trial, which makes it a fairly unique genesis album.
  21. Not sure who he is or why he would be big in poland, but can't say he is that good at doing that song.
  22. I just watched a bit.. skipped through a bit. Not a tour I could go and see.
  23. So you got your £15 back?
  24. No, microtonal doesn't go close to that. A double flat is just a music theory device to get all the lines to line up. For instance a Bbb is just an A, but if you have a chord which has to flatten a note, and that note is already a flat due to the scale, it ends up as a double flat. Microtonal would be somewhere between Bb and Bbb - somewhere outside of the western scale.
  25. Yeh, he is playing in Ebbb!
