[quote name='Greggo' timestamp='1369838335' post='2093313'] Has anyone with more than a couple of guitars/basses ever get tempted to sell all the existing guitars and with the money raised "reboot" the collection? Maybe in order to downsize collection but also so can choose better suited/better quality/more versatile instrumnets to replace the ones sold. Im going through this temptation right now. I have 7 guitars/basses, little room for them and in all honestly so little time to play them. Starting to think that oen bass, one electric guitar and one acoustic would be all I would need for forseeable future. Does anyone else ever go through this urge?! [/quote] Yep I did that. Got rid of my Fender Twin, effects pedals and other crap, most of my nine guitars and basses. I now have a POD X3 LIVE, a Strat, a Jazz, and a classical guitar. I also sold most of my studio kit and now have a MacBook Pro running Logic Pro 9. Dusting has never been simpler

[quote name='AngelLaHash' timestamp='1369837997' post='2093307'] you dont see that as CALLING ME NAMES and SLAGGING ME OFF [/quote] No, I was saying you might be clueless about electronics, like I was and still am to a great degree, and experimenting is fun and educational. You are obviously highly sensitive so I'll back off and leave you alone from now on.

[quote name='AngelLaHash' timestamp='1369837584' post='2093296'] wow .. who needs to go to brighton with HAND BAGS LIKE THIS If i ask a Question .. WALK ON BUY GUYS .. this bitchness isnt any thing I like [/quote] Looks like you need to measure your own resistance. You asked a question, it's been answered. You don't like the answer which is that no, you cannot tell what a pickup will sound like without trying it, there are too many variables to measure.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1369837396' post='2093286'] I thought what was being found scary was my lack of ability to tell what pickups are good simply by their electrical properties. [/quote] Ahhh, I see! Yes, that is completely ridiculous.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1369836703' post='2093269'] [b]I don't think that's scary at all. [/b] To me, installing a pickup and playing it to see if it's any good is no different to a chef tasting the dishes he or she creates to see if they're good. [/quote] It might be scary to Angel if he's a bit clueless about wiring and electronics, it sort of sounds like he might be. But if he gets a wiring diagram and experiments a bit he might have some fun. I loved messing with pups and wiring and switching with a guitar I used to have, I made loads of mistakes but the sounds I got in the end were individual and interesting. Takes lots of time though.

[quote name='AngelLaHash' timestamp='1369835627' post='2093246'] So what ever one is telling me.. You couldnt tell what is GOOD and a Cheap Nasty Pickup without Wiring it in and try it. well thats scary [/quote] I'm still not sure what you are after. Why do values concern you unless you need to match a pup against another in the same bass? Of course you have to wire it in, a cheap no-name pup is not going to have any reputation you can rely on. If someone says 'what's a Wizard Thumper like?' you'll get some answers. 'Can I tell what a sh*t lookin no-name pup is going to sound like just by measuring its resistance?' is like asking what a pair of thigh boots is going to feel like by only looking at the colour.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1369832860' post='2093190'] Voted for KR. I did listen to all of them and it had my vote anyway. I really didn't like the lyric of the fingernail song. Justifiably the lowest vote. Corinna Jane certainly can sing, but the mix is hideous. Patrick Craig just sent me to sleep. Some dodgy vocal in there too. Good luck matey. [/quote] Thank you! And well done for listening to all of them! Cheers mate

No replies yet? I thought it was good, definitely nostalgia market, certainly sounds like fun! Thought the vocal could do with a bit of extra studio tweakery, or even doubling, to add some more depth and warmth to compete with the rest of the band, but other than that, it's a good listen, and I imagine it's great live.

I thought the CA material I heard on the YT clips of these shows were brilliant live. And Geddy's voice sounded good. I'm actually looking forward to the DVD!

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1369828053' post='2093122'] And now on the FB feed BC power! [/quote] You're a gem, Charic, thanks so much!

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1369827660' post='2093112'] PM'd [/quote] SPLENDID!! Thank you!

[quote name='AngelLaHash' timestamp='1369820533' post='2092998'] I tried to ask how you measure the Values OHMS !! HENRYS !! I come from DC to AC circuits and Wiring I have used XL=2Pi x f x L But this is a Inductor on its own 2H (it was a strat Pickup) [b]How do i know its any good[/b] How can i tell if its a Fake or some thing in BLACK POTTING GLUE or How it compares with REAL Brand Makes [/quote] You fit it, you play it, you decide if you love it. It is the only way, all other considerations are secondary. I don't understand the rest of your post, sorry

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1369827318' post='2093103'] Excellent track and voted your way Best of luck Nige! [/quote] Cheers mate!

[quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1369827070' post='2093100'] Done. Good luck. [/quote] Awesome, thanks Sam!

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1369826487' post='2093091'] Done [/quote] Wickid! Thanks Debs!

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1369825503' post='2093071'] ditto, good luck Nige [/quote] Thank you, Clarky!

Shame about Roy Estrada. I liked him a lot.

[quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1369824302' post='2093046'] Tis done matey, good luck! [/quote] Thanks mate!

[quote name='Tandro' timestamp='1369788289' post='2092830'] Got to say much _much_ thanks to Nigel. He had a lovely shiny bass (literally!) that I really wanted but I just did not have the cash. I knew some people were doing deals with paying in installments and I figured, what the heck, its worth a shot and I shyly asked him if he would consider it (and I expected to get shot down in a flash!). To my surprise he was awesome about it and we worked out something. To make things even more complicated, it was a 3 way deal! But it all worked out amazing in the end and just goes to show that with some of the great people on BC everybody comes out a winner. We met up and he is an absolute great guy. I would not hesitate ever to do business with him again. Thanks again Nigel!!! [/quote] My pleasure mate Thanks!

Just sold Ale my chrome Warwick Streamer. He paid in instalments over a couple of months and he was totally reliable, and with great comms. We met for the first time tonight when he came over to pick it up. He's an absolute gent, a delight to deal with. You'll have no worries at all dealing with Ale. Great to meet you mate, I hope you and your new Streamer have a lovely time together Cheers!

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1369751605' post='2092301'] Nige, you are nuts [/quote] I have none left after doing that, dear

It's very good, great band, very tight, look the part - you have the package. Best of luck!
