  1. The same as I had, for the same sort of price. However, look at the price now!
  2. Oh hang on, yes, lets just check my bank account. Oh..
  3. I think I ever went like that I wouldn't have anything, there is always going to be someone better. But you know, you can either accept they play better and not worry, or you could accidently drop a hod full of bricks on their hand. Then whos the best player, huh, huh?
  4. I got rid of my 8 because although I liked the sound, it was basically a rich 4 and I don't realy get round to using 4s. There are some 10s around, but they seem so rare.
  5. No, I am saying that if the only thing to listen to in life was those two, I would probably blow my eardrums out. Neither of them are good in any sense I understand it. I like lots of different music, but if your argument is that you want people to sound like a drunk in a pub or a repetitive pop singer, then autotune is good! Anyway, you can sing out of tune and still not have to sing like them.
  6. It is indeed, and that as I mentioned is what I would get every time on a passive system to prevent loud thumps. You will note that default pickup selector switches for guitars (such as the gibson 2 way switch, the strat 3/5 way switch) are *always* make before break
  7. Again, for the switching but only if you have those types of shafts which is unlikely on a bass. I mean like this (although I would prefer metal) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pole-Way-Black-Rotary-Switch/dp/B00YEU7X8O Like this if the shaft is long enough https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294024238706
  8. For the serial, parallel part, yes but he also wanted single coil. That involves know which the front coil is of that bass.
  9. Yes, that is the right electrical type, but the shaft is a 'solid with a flat bit taken out', which is common on electronics, and uncommon on guitars / basses. Sometimes important to look at that if you want the same knobs I would also only have a make before break in a guitar wiring application if I had a choice, to avoid massive pop noises. It doesn't matter if you short two coils together or one to ground, as long as you don't disconnect and reconnect. However, I suspect you have little choice in options
  10. Its quite an easy mod. rotary switches are generally organised in poles and throws, and generally they have up to 12 positions. If you only want 3, that means you can get a 4 pole switch (sometimes in the guitar world called a channel) that will give you more than enough for this. The main issue is getting one with the same shaft dimensions as your pots (presumably the serated type)
  11. The poplar burl overwater 5, but sadly it was one of those non communicating buyers or I would have bought it.
  12. This question was answered about 2 weeks ago. Since then it has got steadily less and less clear with every continuous post. I guess it was lucky we weren't discussing signal to noise, or that would be ironic!
  13. So Boy George and Rod Stewart. I am coming round to the side of autotune now!
  14. Never sounded fresh to me - certainly loose and obviously no autotune, he hardly ever gets near a note!
  15. Indeed - the stereo effects are notably more involving and more in depth than the same effect in mono, which is where i am seeing the difference in the two devices. The 'stereo' chorus I was listening to sounded the same on the B1/four in headphones and through a speaker, the B3N sounded different, so yes I can see if you set up the effect you wanted in stereo you might be persuaded to turn it down a bit to make it more subtle, and lose it entirely in mono. That is a good point, maybe i might just record the same sound through a mono and stereo output and see what the difference is.
  16. I don't need stereo either, but most keyboards, even some of the mono ones have stereo outputs, and I would suspect some of those live must be wired stereo. There was a performance from the RAH yesterday where the presenter said that the system was being run in quadrophonic sound. Obviously that wasn't a standard band tour
  17. This is true, it has a better build quality in general, and you can have more patches, although some of the patches in the B3N take two slots instead of 1, is that the saem in the B1/4? Is that pedals that are more flappy, or a greater quantity of pedals of an equal flappyness ? The pedals on the B1/four are bigger, in fact, so much so I would imagine the b1/4 has a larger totaly flappy area! Well, the only way to find out would be to either ask someone who knows or to take one apart. I was only guessing, I have no knowledge, and I am not sure if I feel like taking them apart at the moment. There appears to be no take apart video on youtube - kids of today, what the hell are they waiting for?? However, if it had the same chipset, why would it have fewer memories?
  18. Ah, gotcha. Well, I don't think it is hypocracy, rather than legality. That damn EU with all their intefering ways said we had to have a choice. I am not sure if they said what to do if the choice was no
  19. Well, yes. I had a shoulder / rotator cuff problem last year which got in the way a bit. Went to physio and just before lockdown it was starting to get better, they then swapped me to a new physio who I didn't get on with, and as because the world was heading lockdownward it was a good time to say I was cured. Mostly went away but in the last few months it has flared up to the point it wakes me up in pain. I have started doing exersizes, and hope it goes away as my group does 3 hour gigs, and I have another two groups to practice with.
  20. I went there too, sadly I also clicked on the accept all button which enabled me to see that squier had released a shell pink bass VI. I didn't need to know that Very nicely laid out site (apart from that!)
  21. I mean, as virtually no online shop on the internet can work without cookies, do you not do any online shopping, and what are you doing on basschat? I see a virtual ton of session cookies, login cookies, timezone cookies going all the way back to april.
  22. Any cookies? So no online shopping etc?
  23. I have an ibanez SA. Not great but not bad, not something I use much, and I also have a gibson and a few others, mostly I play the indie. Always wanted an RG, but not much poiunt when you dont play it much. And I do have a yamaha RG, which is a copy!
