Love the way he ducks the high notes, but to be fair, Freddy did too, live.

You could really tell she wasn't miming!

Great guitar sound, I can't imagine a better one for this type of music.

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1435261516' post='2807153'] I depped for a gig. The guys were used to a 'proper' bass. Raised an eyebrow when I pulled a sparkly orange bongo out of the case [/quote] You forgot your bass then?

[quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1434909590' post='2803778'] I will say I hate talking between songs and bands should just get on with it sometimes! [/quote] aHA! You are shouty woman and I claim my £5!

Some of you must have gone through the whole Pink Floyd songbook to come up with these! I gave up at Chapter 24

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1434360778' post='2798829'] The prototype Barefaced guitar cab is sitting here, I just need to finish off the electronics and fine tune a few other details... [/quote] Ooh!, any teasy details? Form factor, size, weight? [b][i]anything[/i][/b] to further whet our appetites!

Can you be sure the rod has actually snapped? it could be the nut stripping its thread and making a loud click as its tension is released. Could be worth just trying a replacement nut. I'm not sure if this is true, but I think I read that the nuts are made of softer material than the rod, so if it strips, you can replace the nut, not the rod. Good luck with this.

Had to do a spot at a charity do yesterday that our drummer cried off in the morning (he doesn't miss gigs so must have been very poorly) so we re-jigged to just bass and acoustic. It went ok, but I'd forgotten how free and loose with timing my guitarist/singer is when left to his own devices. Can't say I really enjoyed it, though I could hear my singing better and it sounded (to me!) better than usual.

Heat up the brown tape with a hairdryer and gently peel it off. Usually works ok.

I've just used the drum parts from multi-track recordings to play along with in the absence on our drummer. Works a lot better than a metronome or drum machine.

I made a lash-up for guitar using a small speaker attached to the head of the guitar running from the speaker out on the amp. It worked brilliantly, but the little speaker wasn't up to it power-wise, and eventually fizzled out. Great fun to play though!

[quote name='ColinB' timestamp='1433699939' post='2793207'] Nope. Just listened to it again and (in my opinion) it's absolute pants. Not a single redeeming feature.... and deserves an entry into the 'crap lyrics' thread for the bit about needing a small vacation - but it sure looks like rain - and if it snows the line down south will never stand the strain. Turgid. [/quote] I don't know what sort of lyrics you would expect from a song about a lineman who was in Witchita, but they seem perfectly reasonable to me, they even rhyme! Gotta love the twangy (baritone?) guitar that sounds like it was played through a transistor radio, and a nice drum groove in the playout.

That just reminded me, one thing you never see these days is acoustic lenses. You used to see them in big PAs back in the 70s. I guess it's for mids/treble not bass though..

That's the joy of smart phones.

I use a tiny dehumidifier in my "studio" in the back 1/3rd of my garage. Doesn't help with the spiders though...

I use the treble control on my amp.

Don't forget to video the gig so the collective wisdom of Basschat can "help" you going forward

I bought one on behalf of a friend which came with a pink fake-fur strap. I didn't notice any neck dive so maybe that's the answer! I liked it so much I didn't want to hand it over.

Is there room to add another socket in parallel on the cab connector plate?

Wow! It looks like a Sei now. That's a very classy job.

Good win dude! Lucky boy! As above, I would be interested to hear your opinion how it sounds. I think going up to 6kHz would cover my need for top-end without adding a tweeter.

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1431807392' post='2775256'] Being something of a barefaced fanboy if I was going to the active speaker route then theres only one game in town ... [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/FR800.htm"]http://barefacedbass...range/FR800.htm[/url] [/quote] does anyone know if this BF uses a separate amp for the woofer and tweeter? It's not mentioned on their website. Does the DSP negate the need?
