    Isn't the 'most' thing just a disclaimer? The transmitter side of the product utilises a (standard) 1/4" input and in 'most' cases your instrument will have a (standard) 1/4" output jack socket, so a short patch cable will suffice. All they're alluding to is that some instruments might have a different output types, requiring a different cable or adapter.

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1480504627' post='3184852'] It's disappointing that the BBC are using a racial angle in their headlines. [/quote] I thought this as well.

    Evening all No affiliation here. There's a Hamer Blitz bass up on eBay for the bargain price of £450 (I found it while searching for a Cruisebass), however, the seller is also selling it for £395 on their storefront website. Looks very clean for a guitar 30+ years old. The serial number shows it to be a 1983 model. Link/photo below. Good hunting Paul [url="http://shop.musical-money.co.uk/guitars/6081-1983-hamer-blitz-bass-guitar-metallic-red.html"]http://shop.musical-money.co.uk/guitars/6081-1983-hamer-blitz-bass-guitar-metallic-red.html[/url]

    I hadn't given the gloss element much thought...all my stuff is either solid colour or varnished/poly and it takes a few minutes for them to gets a bit sweaty to speed things up.

    I did a little guffaw at 3.5mm. Yikes. Granted I like my action low and a bit rattly, but a decent twelfth fret action here is 2mm or less.

    I played the Fighting Cocks in Kingston last night. Lots of fun, although apparently the sound guy walked out for five minutes because he was offended at the content of one of our songs. Sheesh. I mean, we've all gone out on a blind date with a girl called Zoe, only to find out it's a guy, haven't we?

    [quote name='TimR' timestamp='1480097347' post='3181696'] I wouldn't start opening them up. Alex is pretty particular on the construction, especially the cross bracing to keep them rigid while using lightweight plywood. I followed a thread on another site a few years ago when he was making the prototype. It's very clever. [/quote] Have you got a link...I believe that prototype is about three meters from where I'm typing this...

    Dependent on budget, but my wife got me a Line6 G30 wireless a couple of years ago. It only comes out for gigs, but I love being cable free.

    I'm not on the market for another bass, but that's lovely. Love the big headstock logo too. 70s Fender sunburst finishes just seemed to have a lot more lustre and were a deeper colour than now.

    My Lull has got a reverse headstock. It's a bugger to tune now and again and at one stage I was considering seeing whether they'd do me a neck with the headstock the other way around.

    You've got both a pair of Speakon and a pair of 1/4" jack sockets. I've tended to stick to Speakon.

    Morning campers. [Edit and update due to sale of the 2x10] Since landing the Barefaced Big One at last year's Bash, I'm finding I've been using my Hartke gear less and less. This is not to the detriment of the cabinets at all, I'm driving myself and our drummer to pretty much every gig we do and more often than not less volume is required on stage and space is at a premium while we're in transit, so I decided to move my HyDrives along. The 2x10 is now sold. I'll take £300 for the 4x10 and while trades aren't really an option, I would consider a Barefaced Super Twin or a Super Compact. The 4x10 has a couple of small tears in the vinyl covering (smaller than an a 5p) which have been glued down and the castors have been replaced with permanent ones; full specs here: http://www.samsontec...drive-cabinets/ Collection preferred (Crowthorne, near Reading, Berkshire). Thanks Paul

    Matrix Amplification GT1000FX. I have a this racked (a shallow Gator 4U) and run a Sansamp RBI into it. Very happy. As it's dual channel, I'm able to pair it with a pair of cabinets and feed it two independent inputs. It's loud, light, looks good and reliable. What's not to like?

    [quote name='blue' timestamp='1479213214' post='3174749'] Being in a band is fun. Starting a band is not, it's hard work which most are I'll equipped to do. Blue [/quote] Sorry Blue, starting a new project is a blast and not really that hard at all. Unless you have a ready pool of musicians, you advertise, make a few calls, set a date, book a room and play. The hardest part is trying to get shot of someone who doesn't work out.

    I can't actually understand why Fender don't/didn't clearcoat over the headstock after the transfer has been applied.

    Over the last few years I've done my bit in ridding six or seven Gibsons of their wretched three pointers. Initially, I swapped them for Hipshot Supertones, but to be honest the Babicz replacement is better by a country mile and well worth the investment. It installs in a few minutes and while I have little love for the three pointer, the Babicz just looks like it's part of the original lineage. It feels comfortable to play against.

    Honestly couldn't tell you how long it took for the neck to arrive...it was a while back.

    [quote name='blue' timestamp='1478889657' post='3172548'] Very few musicians have the ability or resources to start a rock band. It's why 95℅ of all start ups fail. Blue [/quote] This is a bit of a strange and all-sweeping statement. If you're in it simply for the money and trying to make a living off it, then I'd say the success rate thereof would be in the fractions of a percent. In the main though, what qualifies as failure? Four guys making noise in a room who decide not to take things past a second jam session? Insofar as ability and resources go, I'd refute that anyone can do it irrespective of ability. You use the term 'start up' out of context too; it's not a business, it's supposed to be fun.

    [quote name='Basvarken' timestamp='1478947399' post='3172863'] He calls himself a completist. Uwe strives to own every model that Gibson ever built. So when Gibson introduces a new model, he buys it. But Uwe does not collect for color differences in finish. It needs to be structurally different (different wood, different pickups, different shape, etc) [/quote] He dislikes chrome hardware with a passion and welcomed me to the dark side when I said I'd never go chrome.

    [quote name='Basvarken' timestamp='1478899940' post='3172649'] Absolutely! I was going to call the book The Uwe H collection. But he wouldn't have it. Uwe was a tremendous help throughout the entire project. [/quote] I have no idea how many he owns...there just seems to be racks and racks of them! Does he just buy every one each year or something?

    [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1478776273' post='3171507'] Cool, in time for Christmas [/quote] Yes, yes!
  23. NancyJohnson
    Did you lean on Uwe for any of the content?

    When I first saw those two new MusicMan basses the first thing I thought was that designwise they aped the LG body shape.

    I've bought a couple of things from that place, most recently a Mustang bass neck. No issues, smooth transaction etc. Needs must, as they say. Gotta say though, while I understand why they're doing what they do, it does leave a particularly bad taste in my mouth when they start selling off stuff that is going to cost a small fortune to resurrect, things like the Gibson set neck stuff.
