[quote name='beastie' post='778996' date='Mar 18 2010, 06:49 PM']DiD YOU GET TO TRY THE 4X10 NEO[/quote] Yes i did, but briefly........I came from using a trace 4x10 but the EBS was clean, tight and pwerful with more punch and very responsive to the higher frequencies. I find the combination of 210 and 115 best suited for me and the size was convenient also. I recommend that you try out this stuff as it is very subjective

I think that Bernie's basses have a much wider spectrum of use than just benefiting from being played through EBS gear. The basses are awesome and so is the amplification. I favour the 115 and 210 with hd 350 head. The 15 gives a great piano type tone at the low end and great clarity, and is not at all flappy. I had a 212 on loan from Bernie and that was a little more rounded in its sound, but i found them both similar in the amount of punch. The 15 was the keeper in the end

[quote name='Faithless' post='715041' date='Jan 16 2010, 05:56 PM']So, I was practising my sight-reading at the moment, and, as I have a book of Bach preludes adapted for bass in my pc, it got me thinking - is it worth practising to sight-read classical music? Ok, it's chords, big intervals and such,but, on the other hand, it's pretty straightfoward - 90% of time there goes groups of 16th notes, and that's it.. So, is it worth to sight-read classical stuff? Faith..[/quote] Read bass and treble clef, and as much of it as you can, read anything if its possible. It will open a whole new world on transcribing solo pieces from different instruments and you will not be limited. You'll also gain a greater understanding of the other instruments you are transcribing

Still no news??? Its all a bit worrying!!

[quote name='macmellus' post='767340' date='Mar 7 2010, 09:24 PM']I would deduce from this post that someone is interested.[/quote] Wrong............

[quote name='macmellus' post='766896' date='Mar 7 2010, 02:18 PM']*sigh*[/quote] So, do you want to tell us what your point is? When i say "us", that is assuming anyone is actually really interested??

Anyone see what Paul Westwood can do with a Honer Jack 5 String?? Certainly holds up what Valera24 says

Have mailed you at Dawsons...... Problem solved, he can stay at mine as long as he doesnt steal all my licks Steve [quote name='Caprice27' post='764462' date='Mar 4 2010, 09:04 PM']Will do Supabock! Could you email a contact number to [email protected]? We don't do anything bad with contact details, it's just in case anything changes last minute. Golchen, how far are you? We've got loads of free parking and couldn't be easier to get to from Reading station! I forget to mention earlier but if anyone knows anyone that might be interested in coming please try your best to let them know. This is all being arranged somewhat last minute (2 weeks ago we got an email saying 'Stu Hamm might be available for a clinic, would you be interested?' and 2 days ago we got an email asking us recommend a hotel and book a taxi!) meaning we're slightly up against it in terms of getting the word out so any help is greatly appreciated! Cheers guys![/quote]

[quote name='Badass' post='762606' date='Mar 3 2010, 09:20 AM']Just looked at Phil's profile and I see he's not been about since Feb 24th. Hope all good with him.[/quote] Well i hope so also, but it would suggest that he is not picking up his private email either as he'll get a notification at the very least that people on the site are trying to contact him....Anyone on the site know him personally??

I have the J-Retro Deluxe fitted to my Sei bass, and have to sat that the variation and quality of the unit is incredible, great warmth, definition at both highs and lows and nothing that is harsh on the ears. I have no difficulty dialling in the variety of sounds that are required in most, if not all musical situations today!! I had some PUP problems with the Sei in terms of generating buzz and noise so I gave John, who was most accommodating a call to see if he could help out. Without any hesitation and unknowing that it was the PUPs, and at really very short notice John invited me over, made me a cuppa, made the mods to the PUP cavities and also some soldering repairs, all I must add had nothing to do with the J Retro. Gave the pre amp the once over and a clean bill of health was given.... Now, in my mind, you would need to go a long way to find such a service, and Such a product. So all you basschatters out there, give the J-Retro some serious consideration as you'll not be at all disappointed. If you are reading this John , thanks again for all your help and especially at such short notice. Steve
