I learn it in its original form, then after a while it drifts into something else and come to a version that we do.

I guess it depends what you mean 'expects'. I list something either for sale by courier or pickup (generally down to price I guess). If I have put something as pickup I realise it is not going to be as popular, and if someone wants to arrange a courier to pick it up I will help with that, but generally it is something I don't want to post, or dont want to ship or don't have anything to ship it in. I wouldn't 'expect' anyone to get a courier but I would tollerate it. On ebay I doubt that is the case

Not sure what you mean there - noone expects anyone to arrange their own courier do they?

I like those wilkinson ones, I have them on a couple of basses. What did it do to the balance?

If you put an offer in, it lasts for a few days, so maybe he wasn't expecting you to accept straight away, or maybe he only has access during the week. Apart from a slight annoyance i wouldn't worry much for a few days, then after that I would step it up.

I have a TMB35 inbound. I will probably be looking to change some things, but I guess I will see how I will get on with it when it turns up. But black hardware would be good.

Was it a different gauge string? Just wondering if it sat lower in the nut than the previous one. Obviously that doesn't help your truss rod issues.

Turns out it is the same tool, the website is just a portal to it (as is the app). Pretty powerful thing really, I was looking on line for bass tabs for Skunk Anansies Twisted, and every one of them is wrong, as is the first few bass lessons I saw on it, and it is very clear by listening to the isolated bass. They all do the standard triplets on the vocal lines, when its just basically voice, bass and drums. What noone has right is that it isn't a triplet, and after hearing it isolated, it is quite clear it is. Its a pair of notes played after the beat, so it is like a triplet but with no note on the beat, so the last 2 of the triplet. Going to be useful!

Finally made a decision, yes, I would buy the squier mustang. Or the bronco. So I bought the TMB35

Oh yes, don't get me started on Vera and Tommys latest albums!

Shhhh! don't say that out loud!

Always flat eq I would say. but both pickups and a balance of the two!

I would expect the ashdowns DI to be good, it is the sort of thing they do properly, compared to others. Sounds like the sound I get if I record something on my macbook if it is plugged in connected to an amp that is also plugged in, some kind of ground loop but something to do with the power supply in the macbook.

I have one similar to that but it has 6 smaller tuners on it, so I didn't post it!

Thanks for that - you have an odd ~340Hz tone on your recording. You can certainly hear the difference between the BH2s and the Nords, although obviously your settings can affect what you can hear. Would certainly like to try one. Going to be a long time before I find one in a shop - or for that matter, can go into a shop to find one!

No, although in passive mode it is also a shelving control, but much blunter. Its not 'centred' as it isn't a band pass filter, it is a shelf. The passive / active function, while similar, are not doing really related, they are just on the same knob (I have one of those pres on my 5005). Almost certainly, you always miss one when you are writing!

Its not centred is it? It is a shelf type, so it has a cutoff at 18khz, and the treble goes up to there (as do all shelving types). As it is 3db/octave and 18db at 18khz, it is +/- 15db @ 9kh|, +12dB @4.5kh|Z, +9db & 2.25khZ etc.

I thought that is what the purpose of it was, not something I listen to, I am not old enough!

Well, unless you are over 50 the beatles have no been going in your lifetime, so maybe they just wanted to play something for a younger audience. I think a lot of people have heard enough beatles for a lifetime anyway, and there is a lot of other music produced in the last 50 years that is worth listening to. I am sure they have done studies.

He posted a few days ago.

Great review, very in depth. Really would like one of these, I do have the 1505ms and it is one of the best basses I have - although I complained about the documentation in another thread! The idea of shorter would also be good. Not blown away by the colour but everything else seems good. Would be interested in your thoughts on the sound, I am not a fan of those pickups so interested how you find them. My socket you couldn't do with one hand, you had to turn the bass over and do it with 2. But it no longer has a spring so it no longer needs any effort!

I do like reverbs chart of what things sold by, it is pretty handy. Which is great as you know what it is but it doesn't get in the way of the enjoyment of things. I have a whole load of what is basically electronic tat that I haven't got rid of. I know what it is and enjoy it for what it is. I loved my kay. Would I have another one, hell no!

Basically as a youngster in the UK if you wanted a guitar or bass, you bought a kay. It was all there was, it was all you could afford, back when there was a lot less disposable income around. Noone bought a kay because they wanted a kay, that was the choice. It was tat in every sense of the word, but many people learned to play on tat and it brings back great memories. I had a Kay strat, weighed as much as a small planet. I loved it, I modded it I learned everything on it. However, my love of it was a love of a guitar. Come the early 80s we started getting truly good instruments, such as the westones, and things got (and stayed different). There is a reason there aren't many kays around, they weren't worth keeping.
