just idling thinking really, with the increased tension would you be able to lower the strings without getting fret buzz?

I've just bought a set of 5 string bass strings (because they were as cheap as 4 string ones), I've only got a 4 string bass, has anybody fitted the thicker 4 strings out of a 5 string set of strings (120,100,80 and 60's) to a 4 string bass (with standard tuning)? what happened?

I think other bass players always sound better than me, but then people say how come your band sounds so full and loud with one guitarist and I think, maybe I'm doing something right

I get that but if it was adjustable you could use it to get rid of stuff you can hear but don't want, say anything below 40Hz

there's not that many Hi pass filters about from what I can see, the thumpinator looks like it's non adjustable which is would put me off, that leaves the Boughton model, which looks like you have to send off to the USA for, just wondering why they're so hard to come by

it certainly was, and seeing as you are about 10 years younger than me, the start on of WWII must have been a worrying time for you

most of my friends, and me, stayed at home with their parents until they got married in the early twenties usually, how times have changed

we have a core of songs that always go down well, about 25, then change the others round, the thinking being that if people really enjoyed a song last time and you didn't do it be a bit like going to see a proper famous band that don't play their biggest hits

I thought the point was the White guy thought all Blacks were lazy drug sellers and the Black guy thought all whites were racist but when you actually get in a one on one situation views often change, and yes I did watch it right to the end

tbh I had to Google it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Snowflake Love Thy Neighbour, don't get that repeated very often but didn't the black guy normally come out on top?

or not attending gigs, but that's another debate

I've got a Zoom B1on and that has a parmetric EQ with a 'Q' adjuster, that controls how many frequencies you're adjusting (google it I had too) very flexible

Trace Elliot GP12 does the job for me, or any parametric EQ should do it

bit off topic, sorry, racism to me is categorising a whole race one way, as this video shows, all whites are racist all blacks are lazy drug dealers, obviously not true if you think about it but that's what happens, great clip from the Likely Lads that sums it up for me and blacks aren't even mentioned

T'was the way back in 77, fortunatley it didn't last long, but footballers still do it if the weekends sending off is anything to go by

the odd gig I go too these days I stand at the back with ear plugs in, no wonder I don't enjoy them as much

what you now is take about 100 photos then dump them on FB, without looking at them, for everybody else to 'enjoy' them and be envious of what a fantastic night you've had

still going through, just ordered 2 more for someone else

the fact that Snowflakes get upset by being called Snowflakes proves the point doesn't it? Sticks and stones and all that

I'm ok with th rap/rock crossovers, Walk this Way and Fight for Your Right to Party, but I soon get bored with a repetitiveness of the vocal delivery on the Rap songs I've tried to listen too, not being a big one for lyrics (except my own lol) and a lot of the time they're not that clear anyway

couldn't agree more, they need to ban flags at outdoor festivals as well, I'd be bloody annoyed after paying hundreds of £'s out for someone to be waving a great big flag in front of me. But I do wonder at the logistics of taking phones off everybody, search everyone on the way in, take their phones and then make sure they get them back again, sounds a nightmare to me, might be better to say anyone filming will be thrown out, a few examples made will soon put a stop to it

loads of songs get played differently by bands live, how many times have we watched a band doing a song and thought that's not the way I play it?, hell, even bands that recorded the song play the bass line differently when they've got a different bass player in, in the then end if you play a bass line differently to the record I doubt whether anyone would know, but it is nice to get it spot on. I've been playing Babylons Burning off and on for years, not like this but nobody said anything, tbh until the John Peel version I hadn't got a clue what Segs Jennings was playing on the first part of the chorus it is inaudible on the record

that's more or less the way I've settled on playing it though I do think it's a D (on the A string) not an E on the second part

have to say, not just with this, that people are worried someone will be offended when nobody actually is

I do wonder if it's no win no fee lawyer, compo compo easy money
