  1. Probably ok as long as your expectations aren't unrealistically high.
  2. But what do you really think?
  3. I don't think grey for the scratchplate is particularly harmonious with the sunburst, otherwise, it's looking good.
  4. I have the passive Titan 8s as the PA in my rehearsal space and it is terrible for bass guitar. It farts out very early.
  5. I'd pop one of the speakers out and see what's printed on it, should be better than guesswork, though that cross-firing arrangement is unusual. I've seen Sunn guitar combos with that arrangement, maybe it's one of their 4x12s?
  6. Is it all over? Do I get to wear a tiara an blub a bit?
  7. Music stand alert!
  8. [quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1473287734' post='3128826'] Valencia bull ring I suppose, not sure how many it holds but it was full [/quote] according to wiki 10-12000. That must have been a fantastic experience!
  9. I got fired from a jazz band I was playing in, with good friends. They were all way ahead of me and still improving, whereas I'd hit a plateau in my playing and didn't do anything about it. The guy who replaced me was miles better, and made them sound complete as a band. I'm nearly over the rejection now, the first 30 years were the worst though.
  10. I think Godin gear is pretty well made, but certainly the guitars for some reason don't seem to hold their value, but it does make them a very good s/h buy. I imagine the basses to be the same.
  11. [quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1473090909' post='3126818'] I looked that up! Very funny Actually hold on there was actually a soundtrack for it. So I'm confused if that was a joke or you really were inspired? Haha. [/quote] No, it was the only French silent film I could think of offhand, so, yes, it was meant to be a joke. Trivia fact: this was the film referred to by the Pixies on the track Debaser. "I am un chein ANDALUCIA!", "slicing up eyeballs" etc. Surrealists, eh?
  12. I was looking on the Bartolini website, and they have 3 distinct ranges, Classic, Original and Singularity, all having different tone profiles: powerful lows and low-mids – bright treble [Classic Bass] :deep tone [Original Bass] :Singularity The asymmetric blade design yields powerful lows and low-mids along with bright treble due to its precise sensing aperture. This may give rise to why people have such differing experiences with Barts. You'd need to know the model numbers they are talking about! HTH MBA
  13. From a 4-track portastudio recording maybe 1986-8? Low sampling rate mp3, it's a bit of a racket! https://soundcloud.com/julian-moss-511168525/mandy-said For something more or less current, try Icthyophagus from here: [url="https://soundcloud.com/the-new-moon"]https://soundcloud.com/the-new-moon[/url]
  14. Are we to infer that the OP has a "friend" with this issue?
  15. I depped in a college band Supporting The Vapours. They did some Rock goes to College programmes from there, I'd guess the hall held 600+ people. It was all downhill from there...
  16. [quote name='stevie' timestamp='1472989218' post='3125765'] I agree with those who have replied already - cutting up an expensive cabinet will reduce its resale value and might not give you the result you're after. Another option would be a box with a small tweeter that would fit on top of your existing cab(s). Google Greenboy Head Case for the general idea. If you use one of these tweeters: <http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=PAUPHT416&browsemode=manufacturer> the whole thing should come in at well under £50 and is likely to sound better than most commercial tweeters. Apart from the box, you'll need a couple of Speakons, some speaker cable, a capacitor, inductor and L-pad. [/quote] That's exactly what I did a few years ago with my G1 Compact. It was a tweeter with a built-in crossover (or didn't need one, piezo?~) and it added a bit of air and click on the attack. I didn't find it too hissy at all. It was a type used in Trace Elliot's p.a. series of speakers. Tiny ply box, Speakon, you're away! I just Velcro'd it to the top of my amp. I've actually got a spare one if you're interested.
  17. Should be winging their way to moonbassAlpha, barring alien intervention!
  18. Volvo V70? That's just cheating!
  19. [quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1472848100' post='3124843'] Having now listened to moonbassalpha's noodle it reminds me of something French like from a old French film maybe? [/quote] Yeah it was inspired by the soundtrack from Un Chien Andalou
  20. Renault 5 https://www.google.co.uk/url?q=http://zonderpump.com/image-post/2667-renault-54-1.jpg.html&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwiXztyqnPPOAhWpI8AKHdljA1EQwW4IJjAI&usg=AFQjCNE2Zoyjjjv93dmpPrPJQgASllfeQA
  21. @ColinB Sounds like someone needs a man-bag
  22. Added a Soundcloud link as some were having trouble opening the Dropbox link. Try this: [url="https://soundcloud.com/julian-moss-511168525/august-noodle"]https://soundcloud.c...5/august-noodle[/url]

  24. Bootsy. I can live with that. Agreed, most of the answers you'd really give aren't on the list, but it's just a bit of fun, innit?
