Fell asleep on the sofa and went back upstairs at 7. Then suddenly massive noise coming fron the chimney breast. Wife says it's a trapped bird. I said an anorexic Santa. Any ideas?

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1481946923' post='3196497'] Think of something that makes you happy. Try to think about it in as much detail as you can. Enjoy it...a mug of warm milk and honey will sometimes do the trick too. [/quote] It's exactly what I did

Anyone up? Hopefully I'll be fast asleep by the time anyone replies.

Helloween- Halloween Does this count?

I gigged in my late teens and early 20's. My 300 w Peavey combo weighed a ton. My current 100w Fender rumble is feather weight and gives out lots of power but for a gig I'd choose something beefy. I would go to a war driving a tank not waving a feather duster.😂

Sure tapping was used by violin players centuries ago x

Be careful, She might blow your low end!

I'm bored with advent calendar.Everytime I open a window, another chocolate. Don't get me wrong I love chocolate. Bur how about an advent calendar filled with basses, amps and effects. Just sayin'...😊

If I ever gig I won't care about having a heavy rig. It probably takes 5 mins longer and more effort to unload etc. So be it. If you like the design and sound buy it. Don't let others to influence you. If I had spare cash I'd get Ampeg svt vintage and two 4x10 cabs.I wouldn't care about the weight.

Cheers

What make are you zebra pick ups in the electric guitar?

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1481291146' post='3191277'] Agree re the Matt Freeman, I`ve jus picked one up and it`s a very nice bass. I`ve heard plenty being played and they`ve always sounded great to me. Was amazed at how nicely if plays though. [/quote] This

It's unique. If someone steals it, it can be easily identified 😉

Never owned one. Once I master the four string one I may get one.

[quote name='grandad' timestamp='1481176719' post='3190214'] Thank you for that. After listening several times on headphones my old ears could only hear a very slight difference between them. How to describe the subtle variations I don't know. I'd say the D'Addario sounded brightest but not bright. The Fender and Rotosound were even/balanced. La Bella deep/soft. Thomastik were growly. Anyone else care to post a quick impression? [/quote] My old ears suffer too. I think rotosounds were the brightest sounding flats.

I've found this, hope it helps to flatwound lovers. https://youtu.be/6R2LOXMqyg8

[quote name='thegummy' timestamp='1481058848' post='3189426'] Do you support West Ham? [/quote] No but I've played the bass twice and it sounds great. Saw Steve Harris playing last week and the bass looks awesome dispite the WH logo.

[quote name='roceci' timestamp='1480973617' post='3188674'] I did exactly this with my Squier VM P5. In my case it was a Badass II. I ended up siting the BA slightly further back than the original bridge to ensure I had enough travel for the B to intonate. Do this & you're golden. Along with taking all precautions to make sure it's dead centre etc. [/quote] [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1480973803' post='3188676'] I'm with Gary. Wood filler looks the part, but it's not strong. I would use cocktail sticks (they're hard wood, matchsticks are weak firewood). Glue one stick in place, then cut fine sticks from the same cocktail sticks and ram the holes full. Let the glue set and then drill the new holes. When you fit the new bridge, use masking tape under the old bridge for you to draw markings on the body, to show you the positions of the sides and the back line of the old bridge. Then find the centre line of the old bridge and mark that. Them mark the centreline of the new bridge and align that on the body with the centreline of the old bridge. Also align the back of the new bridge with the old backline - unless the style of the new bridge means you need more/less space. Roceci beat me to it! [/quote] I consider both options. I may not like the bridge so may want to avoid filling the holes.
