Soliloquy

[quote name='BassBod' timestamp='1328207182' post='1523803'] I shouldn't have looked..... [/quote] Neither should I

They sound like the highbeams. If you're buying them for asthaetic reasons though don't bother, the black wears off very quickly !

If anyone is daft enough to be thinking of selling either a 5 string or a 6 string Sei then [i][b]pleeeeeeeeeeeeease[/b][/i] let me know !

[quote name='Linus27' timestamp='1326636492' post='1499745'] You are lucky to get that. They had two left last Thursday and said they would not be getting any for a good few weeks. I bought one and i could not decide to buy the other but decided to wait [/quote] Lucky for me that you decided to wait then . It should hopefully be here tomorrow.

I just ordered a Classic1x12 from Effects power supplies. They seem to be the only dealer with any cabs in stock at the moment. I got the Reidmar head from them and was very pleased with their service.

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1325798582' post='1488077'] £900 for the whole lot: [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/EBS_Amplification.html"]http://www.bassdirec...lification.html[/url] In addition, 33lbs for a ceramic 1x12?! That's lighter than some neo 112s! [/quote] That is a good price, £250 for each cab . I've now sold both my Acme's, so I need to decide whether to go for a used Proline 4x10 or get a 1x12 Classic and another in a month or so.

[quote name='Joebass' timestamp='1325795321' post='1487975'] No, that's completely wrong. Check out any song in a transcription book that features down-tuned guitars. The notation is ALWAYS transposed so that you can read it on a transposed instrument and sound at the correct pitch. Here's an example: [url="http://www.onlinesheetmusic.com/get-the-funk-out-p382346.aspx"]http://www.onlineshe...ut-p382346.aspx[/url] [/quote] I bow to your superior knowledge, and can't be bothered to argue . But I'd be well annoyed if I arrived on a gig and had to down tune to play a chart for a song. I have played lots of charts, a lot of Stevie Wonder songs too. Most of my gigs involve reading, and they've always been written out as heard. I have the chart for 'I wish' in front of me now, key signature is Eb minor, notated as played and heard.

[quote name='Joebass' timestamp='1325794196' post='1487950'] Consider this, you de-tune your bass as indicated and then play along with the notation - you would sound a semitone lower than the recording. That's why the notation should be written up a semitone. [/quote] Well no, it's the TAB that says to detune, I'm sure the strings are labelled Eb/Ab/Db/Gb. You play the notation as written E is E, A is A, Bb is Bb etc.

I'm sure Nathan detunes his bass by a semitone. I guess that's why there's the discrepancy between the TAB and the notation. I'm sure Bass player magazine say to detune. I've got a transcription somewhere that I did a few years ago and it's pretty much the same as in the magazine, as played being the same as 'as heard'.

I've bought a few things from them and never had a problem. I like the way they text you to keep you posted about the progress of your order.

[quote name='RandomProddy' timestamp='1325780437' post='1487581'] The EU's a Common Market - so there is no customs or import taxes. You still have to pay VAT though. [/quote] The price advertised should include VAT, [i]I think[/i].
