  1. I always thought Eastbourne was for retired wrinklies, and that it was yob free because of the said wrinklies
  2. Took me ages to get my fingers round the Rhythm Stick bass line. Bar Steward ! They were such a tight band too , all great musos Good to see NWR is out of hosp. Yeehar
  3. A short scale bass at 32" will be a difference in reach of just 1" and 30" scale is a difference in reach of 2" because the scale is between the nut and bridge, not all at the nut Strings will feel slightly floppier on the 32" and a bit more floppy on the 30" , but you can offset this to a degree by using higher tension strings. This will obviously be harder to achieve on the 30"
  4. [quote name='Steve Browning' timestamp='1499836463' post='3333905'] This. I would be particularly galled to note the charge has only be levied twice in 10 years and I had been chosen despite a not inconsiderable purchase. [/quote] Quite unlucky, is our poster. On average, once every 5 years they pick on a customer. This half decade appeared to be your turn !! Shop elsewhere
  5. Wouldn't this better left in JapanAxe's feedback thread in the feedback forum ? http://basschat.co.uk/topic/189435-feedback-for-japanaxe/page__st__30__p__3296312__hl__japanaxe__fromsearch__1#entry3296312
  6. Same here - and yes, i;m no slap lover but that bass line, and especially that awesome tone, is stunning. So its a one pickup Stingray thingy, and the cabs look like ampeg - any idea of amp ? I'd also like to know what bass GAD is playing. Looks like jazz pups , i think
  7. Thanks guys - i'll see my local tech. He's damn good at this sort of thing
  8. Just sold Dan a pedal Dan messaged me and had paid within the blink of an aye - thats the way to deal Cheers Dan
  9. Thanks Terry So like the poster above , Norris, who had some mod done to his Peavey which was doing something similar , can i get someone to add a mod to the amp somewhere ? A capacitor across the power switch according to mr Norris ?
  10. Someone on talkbass asked Plati on his forum and Plati replied saying they got bored, and since GAD is a decent guitar player and can also slap just as well, it didnt make any difference, and they had some fun in the meantime
  11. I have now swapped the speaker sockets round and plugged the internal jack and extension cable jack in opposite sockets, and the 1x15 still leaps into the air with a loud pop accompanying What i didnt notice before, presumably because the four 10" drivers are so much smaller, is that they also jump, obviously its no where near as much as the 1x15 and the loud pop is not there. Also, i tried switching off and then back on again in a few seconds, and this really lessens the speaker jump. So what is happening there ? I leave it over night and the speakers all jump forward, the 1x15 a lot more than the 4x10, and the 1x15 also pops loudly, where the 4x10 do not Is there some build up overnight that discharges when turning the amp on ?
  12. Thats because there's nothing remotely musical as far as slap bass goes. Well, there's exceptions of course, but they're in the minority Mark Plati springs to mind and shows how its possible to be musical http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNqo0kIR-TU
  13. [quote name='Norris' timestamp='1498584541' post='3325711'] When plugging in the extension cab did you then stand the rest of the rig on top, bringing it closer to your ear line? [/quote] Its not really feasible to stand a 4x10 combo onto the 1 x15
  14. [quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1498579732' post='3325666'] Have you tried swapping the speakers output? connect the internal cab jack to the extension speaker out and vice versa. To me looks like the problem may be in that extension speaker out jack/filter. [/quote] Never thought of that I'll swap the jacks round and see what happens
  15. Ouch I can try one of my MB New York 8 ohm cabs as an extension and see if that does the same I sort of guessed it was the amp rather than the 1 x15 extension, but needed to ask Thanks fellas
  16. Its my Trace Elliot GP11 Mk 5 4x10 combo, and it only happens to the 1x15 extension speaker, not the 4 combo speakers Power up with 1x15 TE extension cab attached and there's a big pop and at the same time the 1x15 jumps forward. Doesn't make any difference if gain and master vol are zeroed or not Its also very hissy, even with using the graphic, everything above 400hz turned to minus zero and all treble on the bass guitar turned off , still sounds like an angry snake. It seems like it's nothing to do with treble on the TE Graphic, or the bass guitar The GP11 has a noise switch and i thought it might have stopped working, but when i switched it off the hiss got louder, so its working to some degree The 1x15 TE cab works fine, but i'm seriously perturbed by the enormous jump ( and pop ) at power on, and the hiss Maybe the TE 1x15 is just old and needs replacing ?
  17. Back on the loose - turned out to be a dreamer
  18. This looks like a good 'un but it doesn't fold down [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Green-Jem-250-300-kg-3-in-1-Heavy-Duty-Sack-Truck-Trolley-Barrow-Yellow-11-Pi-/272652901380?epid=1863594765&hash=item3f7b611c04:g:OiQAAOSww5NZBv6e"]http://www.ebay.co.u...iQAAOSww5NZBv6e[/url]

  20. But bus and taxi no problem ?
  21. I've come unstuck ( matron ? ) when trying to cross gravel car parks to pubs with hard wheel trolleys The best type for any ground are balloon type wheels, as they just float across rather than try and bury themselves. Bastards
