It is a very different bass (I used to have an l2500 too), much bigger neck, much bigger feeling bass in general, but still quite a variation of tones on it, its not like a P although it can make that kind of sound

No, it isn't just you.

Maybe the second gen version that is out now is lighter, mine is like a small sun!

Not that quiet

We were going to do that, I learned the bass solo (hideous thing) but the song sounded really flat when we did it, so we dropped it. Now the guitarist who hated that we dropped it is trying to bring it back, but I have completely forgotten it and am sure as hell not learning it again!

Good choice - I ahve an argon (the key one). Great synth. Modal are still a going concern though, they released new synths this year at namm, and their reps are saying it is just restructuring, so who knows. It would be a shame if they went as they have done some great stuff. They also release a carbon synth too. I am still tempted by a cobalt to go with the argon.

If the reason they quit is still present, you can't rule out them quitting again.

The ibanez 5005 is a lovely bass, if you have the strength for it. It looks nice, it feels nice, the pickups are very versatile and sound great. All in all there is very little bad to say about it, except, it weighs a lot, because it is dripping in Wenge, which is heavy. I have one, and I rarely gig it because of the weight, it is so much heavier than my 1605, whcih is very similar, except poplar where the 5005 is wenge. Try one and see if you get on with the weight ok I wrote about mine here:

So whats the best combo for accordian? I know, anything as long as its off! Didn't stop roland making a £4k V-Accordian though.

Let me know what you think - I have a copy of the previous one (the cube baby type) and it isn't a patch on the quality of the mooer p1, which I know you weren't keen on. Maybe they got better.

So what have you got against Polka huh?

Had a same thing with that track, as a one of someone asked me to play it and I thought, well, its whitesnake its not going to be hard is it. And I was wrong. So I learned it anyway and we ended up not doing it. But it to this day irritates me hearing people doing a stripped down version of it!

Whoosh!

ok, so I managed to solve the problem. If you spend every day looking for a few weeks, in the end you can buy a new B stock RCF Evox J8 for £520, white, non original pole, no speakon or mains plug, a couple of minor scuffs, non original packaging, but no breaks or damage. I can live with the white for that!

The form is probably doable, but it still relies on people filling it in properly

Its not a reverb / ebay thing, its a paypal thing so it works on any transfer

Doubt it is possible to auto generate those tags (well, practical, of course it is possible) for the same reason that they are hard to search for, there is no consistent naming of things.

https://www.paypal.com/uk/digital-wallet/ways-to-pay/pay-with-qr-code You would have difficulty doing that as by using paypals systems you have said that they are the ones to deal with disputes, so if you did try you certainly wouldn't be using paypal again.

Paypal has a qr code that you scan if you pick up in person, proving your received it. And for a bank transfer, then it doesn't matter what they say, you have the money and they can't do anything about it (or paypal friends and family - same thing)

I use bax if there is no other choice or it is ridiculously cheap, otherwise not prepared to take the risk. Although I guess you can say that my normal problems with them have more to do with hermes than them, but it is their choice to use hermies.

Well, it might be worth getting one of those, or taking a trip to somewhere it is available and trying it. What I hear in a bh2 might be different to what you hear in it, and my use of a bh2 was restricted to a fretted bass, it might be different on a fretless. Indeed, but never going to happen, its just not how they work. However, there are earlier models - if what you like is a fretless p bass tone, they used to do a fretless with a split pickup, things like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116095796108 there is a 5 string too, come up from time to time

Absolutely nothing that is a description of how a bass sounds needs to have 'IMO' attached as that is a given. There is no such thing as an object fact about a good bass sound so it would be completely pointless to add. I would take that to be understood by anyone participating in a conversation about pickups.

I mean actually talking to yourself in your head. You know the inner monologue that talks to you when you are around, I had assumed that everyone had it, but then found out that some people did it, and was very taken aback by that. I guess from that point of view it is hard to understand how peoples heads work if they don't have an inner voice, but I guess they would be the same about people having one. I had a girlfriend who would actually move their lips in time to anything that someone was saying to them, like repeating it herself.

If you can hear music in your head and as you say, I assume everyone does* how can you not hear 'new music', ie, any other tune your head has made up? * I was suprised when i learned that not everyone had their voice in their head, so maybe I am wrong about people being able to hear music in their head.

As long as Sheila and Adrian had a good time, thats all that matters!
