Hi
I'd like to introduce my singer to the joys of Dan.
He's more of a fan of early Psyche and the Beatles, and regards the Dan as a bit bland and mainstream.

I'm looking to try a Dan cover, so it's acoustic guitar, fretless, and I harmonise the vocals, but which tunes would work?

My first thoughts were "Any world I'm welcome to" and maybe "Bad Sneakers"

I welcome your suggestions
Cheers
Jules

Why did you get rid of your black one then?

Sure it's not the preamp to blame?

Kahler Dive, Newbridge.

I really like the shape of Shuker's Uberhorn basses. I realise it isn't to everyone's taste, but to me it looks like a jazz bass from the 22nd century that has evolved into a faster, sleeker beast. I think it makes "traditional" shaped basses look lumpen by comparison.

[quote name='4000' post='998548' date='Oct 23 2010, 11:42 PM']Actually that's not "it in cherry", that's a Dolphin SN which is entirely different. The Pro 1 is upmarket of the SN (SN is setneck, no markers, chambered body, Pro 1 is through-neck, dolphin markers amongst other things).

FWIW I've had 2 Dolphin Pro1s, a '91 and a '96, and the '91 was miles better than the '96 so I imagine this should be great.[/quote]
Well that told 'em!

I've always loved those Dolphins, such an original shape.
I'd love this, but I value my knackers too much!

Our guitarist had an Add-on microphone thing for his Ipod which worked quite well. Might be a cheaper route if you already have the pod....

Does anyone else on this thread find Genz's mid scoop button a complete waste of time?

The bass and treb buttons have their use, but the mid seems really ill-conceived/implemented, I find it just sucks the life from the tone and makes the whole level appear to drop.
I like everything else about it.
Anyone agree/disagree?

I'm in a couple of bands: one is a duo with drums (rarely, as they both live abroad) I really like the material, but the writer hasn't written anything new for a couple of years, and we don't play live all that often.
The other is a three-piece rock and acoustic outfit, the writer writes new stuff all the time and gets slightly more gigs than the other, but I don't like all the material as much.
I play in this band to keep my hand in, it's not ideal, but it keeps me playing.
If someting better comes along, I should be up to pace, it works for me.

That looks really comfortable. I would have made the headstock less bulbous, almost tapered.

Deffo interested to see how the Midget compares! I'm sure many on here feel the same.

Jack basses have a soft maple body, and that's quite light.

That seems a good price! I thought these went for more than than normally. Not at all common these days.

wood looks like maple.

That looks a decent bit of wood for a budget instrument.
No reason that shouldn't sound fine. Nice job!

Fish (tail) on Friday! Yum!

Tangerine Dream?[/quote]
I used to use TD's Phaedra to get my nephew off to sleep in a darkened room when he wouldn't sleep. He was about 2 at the time, and it was the only thing that worked.
I swapped it for Carmina Burana (sp?)

Bebel Gilberto, gently tickles your ears.

Hi
I got a Spector Classic 5 string for £220 (s/h) and was really surprised how authoritative it sounds, has amazing sustain and a versatile 3 band eq. I could quite easily use it as my sole bass, despite having several more expensive basses.
It even looks pretty too (not sure how important that is for the kind of music you like though!)

I doubt there is anything in a Trace Head that CAN'T be fixed by a competant tech.

[quote name='chrisgil' post='982617' date='Oct 9 2010, 03:31 PM']Not sure what to write about it.
Guitar amp that works fine which I have never used.
Couldn't tell you if its a good one or not.

Not sure if many people will go for this sort of "hard sell"

Sort your spelling out, you Muppet!

[quote name='Rayman' post='979895' date='Oct 6 2010, 09:04 PM']Hmmm thanks for that. I think I'll go for a darker colour than the current white for sure.[/quote]
Yeah, I,ve filled a rosewood board with a fairly dark filler and it looks nice. Trouble is, under poor lighting, they do kind of disappear, but it still is enough to guide you in good lighting. I went for black in my current bass (on Pau Ferro board), and I think it looks really nice.
From a distance it looks unlined, which is cool.
