Thanks y'all! I salute you. Just been listening to Roxanne and it sounds like the tape speeds up a whole semi-tone in the first 2 bars as well. I only wish I had something out that had been bought by 70 gazillion people so that someone could point out a mistake in it

Depending on prior commitments etc I would be happy to pick people up from service stations in the North West for the drive down.

[quote name='ARGH' post='121868' date='Jan 17 2008, 12:17 AM']Noel redding goes into the intro riff during the fade out of "Fire" by mistake Chas Chandler reckoned no-one would notice it,so it stayed.[/quote] Thanks, I have used that one (not being ungrateful here!), and on listening closely it sounds as if the whole rhythm section goes into the intro riff and it is Jimi that ploughs on regardless.

G-bitch totally rules. No, really, he shares the love! He sold a Mackie PA speaker with cover to someone. The buyer did not want the cover. I enquired how much for the cover. He said that the buyer paid full asking price for the speaker so sent me the cover for postage money. As I said. G-bitch totally rules.

I realise that any recording can be art and art is not about perfection, but about communicating. I realise that we have no right to judge other peoples playing. Having said that, I teach on a music course and I am compiling a list of recordings which have mistakes in them to develop the critical listening skills of my students. I did this a couple of times on the 'pit and possibly here (or wherever we were at the time). Could you point me in the direction of your favourite mistakes? TIA

[quote name='Tech' post='120518' date='Jan 14 2008, 11:50 PM']badump! please, dear god, someone snap these up! and again - shoot me an offer! would p/x for bass head![/quote] I am not in the market for these, but if I was then I would still not consider them because I cannot get to Swansea to pick them up. If you were willing to pack them in old TV or Fridge boxes cut down to shape then I'm sure people would be happy to arrange a courier if they were after this kind of set up. Not trying to be snotty, just trying to help. -

I have a 4 Ohm one that I'm looking at shifting. It has an Epifani cover and I'm looking for £650 + shipping at cost for it. I have the original box. I bought it new and have gigged it maybe 15 times.

Undoubtedly very fine. Personally I could not get with the stark white binding on the neck and the pointy bit at bottom horn of the scratch plate. It did not go well with the bottom horn of the bass. I DO realise that I am extraordinarily shallow. The black sparkly with matching headstock was very fine indeed. I could not get on with the body shape. I guess that I am too old to change. Why did I sell 2 x JO5s? Still not sure.

If you can't say something positive then kindly f*** off.[/quote] I'm Owen and I wandered in uninvited. It was just a light comment. Did not mean any malice. Apologies if it seemed as if I did. My student is LOVING your GK 2x12. I am looking forward to trying it as well! -

[quote name='leseandurka' post='110698' date='Dec 29 2007, 09:22 PM']sorry man the guy above is my tutor who would of thought, but if hes not intrested il get pics up but hes seen its in good condition, if not il put pics up afterwards for you[/quote] No! I already have too many, but I can get a box for you and put it on a courier if someone from not around here wants it. Sheeesh! Young people these days! -
[quote name='leseandurka' post='110549' date='Dec 29 2007, 02:45 PM']ive had the bass for about 7 months now and its been great but ive left the band i was playing in and as you know when a musician finds a new piece of kit they want they need to sell what they got i can have pictures up if anyone wants them, its in mint condition bought it from thomman.de for round 240-250 am willing to sell it for 160-150 but i cant go any lower and if anyone else is intrested i got a wawrick sonic 3 head (150 watts) but theres a buzz im sure its a blown transistor but i have that for sale as well as a home made cab built by my old music course tutor if anyone has an offer for them [/quote] Mr Durka, I think there are 2 of us who could drive by Pentraeth to pick this up and we are already bassed up to the max. I'm guessing that more people would look if you were willing to put it on a courier. I have boxes and stuff and I can do it from work. Let me know. FWIW the home made cab is a JBL design for a JBL 2226 which is what it is loaded with. It's good for 600W RMS.

Whats your one bass that you couldn't live without
Owen replied to birdy's topic in General Discussion
I would grab my double bass. I have been DB GAS free for 18 years. I cannot see myself with any other one ever. It's a shame that the same could not be said for my bass guitar obsession. -
It's for church. High volume is not really an issue

I need to mic up a couple of Violins. I'm looking for clip on mics rather than mics on stands. Any suggestions? TIA

[quote name='King Tut' post='105056' date='Dec 16 2007, 09:09 PM']Thanks jean - Luc - I thought about one but it's a lot of money to pay for freedom (what price freedom eh??!!) Daf - I've put the strings on and gigged them - I thought - reading other posts - that 'real' double bass strings would make a world of difference - they are better, but not as much better as I thought they would be. Having said that - for arco, they're much better - with the NS strings the bow kept 'snagging'. I really appreciate your recommendation however - I do prefer the corelli strings over the NS so I'm pleased I bought them.[/quote] It could help to adjust the action on the NS. Mine turned from a big fretless bass into an OK substitute for a double bass when it is just impossible to get to the gig with a double bass, with a few turns of an allen key to raise the bridge.
