    I bought this because I fancied hanging it on my wall. It is an unused DB front from 60s Germany. I will get aome pics up later. It would look fabulous above your fireplace.... yes, yours.

    Imgur is what I found after PBucket died.

    Nothing wrong with using all 4 left hand fingers independently.

    Don't need. Don't need. Don't need. Don't need. Don't need. Don't need. Don't need. Don't need. Don't need. Don't need. Don't need. Don't need. Don't need. Don't need. Don't need. Don't need. Don't need.

    I like to think about myself as verticaly challenged.

    If I get one it will be to be played portrait. I like the DB curvature under my right hand. It is a big IF.
  7. Owen
    You know what this is. It is a lovely thing but it does not have enough strings for me. The frame is a complete revelation. It makes playing it completely natural coming from a DB background. I will stick with my NS because it has the B.

    but OOOOOOFT

    I have one. It is very nice indeed.

    [quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1507660627' post='3387094'] If had been fretless would be after this too. [/quote] Fretlessing this (is that a word?) would be a simple job for any luthier. You will not see a fretless five string full fat Omnibass 2nd hand for ages and ages and ages. And the price is right. I have a vested interest as the original owner. It is a lovely instrument.

    That looks like a lot of fun! Does it need a seperate power amp?

    I dunno if I want to pretend to be a bass guitar. In reality I have not thought it through so am open to suggestions

    Octave bods! I am just wondering which pedal gives the best sound for a standalone bass sound if I were to use a guitar and a 2 octave down all wet/no dry setting. I am not looking to replace my basses, just thinking of potential different flavours.

    [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1507574248' post='3386466'] You can if you know what you're doing. You can buy RAM off Amazon, there are plenty of how to videos on Youtube. [/quote] My mate who is an IT bod was very reticent to get stuck into my son's mac to upgrade the soldered RAM. I think replacing the HD is pretty straightforward.

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1507565927' post='3386383'] Is there a possibility that he's just not cut out for this music lark? [/quote] That has also already crossed my mind!

    [quote name='Cato' timestamp='1507565784' post='3386381'] Electro shock therapy. Every time he loses his rhythm hit him with the cattle prod. He'll soon learn. [/quote] It has already crossed my mind........

    [quote name='dood' timestamp='1507563190' post='3386365'] Can the student clap in time to a metronome? [/quote] Yes. And then no. Far out.
  19. Owen
    You CANNOT ad more RAM on new Macbooks. It is soldered in. I recently bought an 8 year old Macbook which was certainly not state of the art in any way shape or form. I popped a SSD drive into and it whipped my more recent work machine. A 3 year old with a decent SSD retrofit will be fine and dandy.

    I am dyspraxic so get the whole some things just not happening. I have a nasty feeling that this is a hopeless case but I just do not like giving up.

    I have run into this before, but this one has beaten me. I have tried standing up and dancing with him. I have tried grabbing his foot and making it work on the pulse. I have given him basic drum tracks. Nothing is working, He is completely Disco-lexic (Copyright Happy Jack). Any ideas?

    [quote name='bassace' timestamp='1507116940' post='3383397'] or am I just being grumpy? [/quote] Not grumpy, but perhaps realistic. If the good Brother wants to cook up a storm then who are we to stop him? I believe his Chilli is exceptionally fine. However it does become another "thing" to do for him and numbers are famously variable even with less than 24 hours to go so it might well become a whole lot of work for very little gain. It would probably be less hassle for us to find the nearest pizza delivery place and do an order on the day and everyone be responsible for what they need. Or bring sarnies obv!

    Pic of the front?

    [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1506983255' post='3382578'] My Overwater is 6.5kg. [/quote] Lock the thread.
  25. Owen
    I have just sold my Overwater 6 which was 12lbs 4. I would not want to stand for long with it on. But WHAT a sound. If only my cognitive RAM could process 6 strings I would probably have flogged everything else. I doubt that I will play it's like again.
