RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

What if you're told there's something there , and there isn't ? What if it packs up/ makes dangerous noises when your banging away?

After searching for a Swedish drama to watch tonight ,I had to cave in and listen to something instead . Saw 1864 on bbciplayer - superb!! Looked for another one which is shown on a crappy itv station ( which is only available on sky) . As I have not got sky , I cannot watch it . It's about time Murdoch had a serious heart attack ..a @@ hole! Anyway, now listening to Timewind by Klaus schulze Not headphones , but Cambridge audio soundstage .

Love it ............me Thank you colonel .gave that video about 5 seconds. Not metal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIJDD1Cldgc [/quote]

That"ll look good on my Washburn status . That guitarist isnt enjoying himself is he ?

Great stuff. The problem I had when I had a spare string lying around, was when my cat was alive she loved playing with them .

I've got the toneport ux1 . It has podfarm as mentioned. It is very easy to join it with GarageBand , logic etc. the problems I find is that , it's too focused on guitars,and not enough bass models . The bass expansion pack is way too expensive IMHO. Also , not many people on basschat mention podfarm at all. Even line 6 don't seem to mention podfarm much these days .

Crikey ! Quite a few replies already. It dawned on me on Tuesday , on way back to hospital . On fast train, no bawling brats . Don't bother with headphones. In hospital, I never bothered . On the way home, semi fast train no baling brats . Today at home , I can't be bothered. I was thinking that , it must be a good thing to switch off for awhile and live headphone free for a few days . Surely there are some benefits ,

..listening to music. I'm seeing how long I can do this for. Normally, I listen while commuting, and on a radio show some evenings. How about yourselves ?

Can't make it . Great band name . Great set by the look of it . Have a mental bump

Put a nice sticker on there instead ?

You are right. I did try that at first, but poxy spellchecker stopped me

Wow ! A lot of info here alteady;) I was thinking back, when I got both of my headless basses setup, they never had any light gage strings. I used to always go for the heaviest gage for years . Then , when I got my vester fretless ( which is not headless), I want everything as light as possible . I have no idea, what gage they are.

Looks like an unfinished aria pro. He must be struggling with demand at the moment . Needs to tidy up the repair shop

Just curious

Don't start slapping everything you play ( unless it's already incorporated in your repertoire )

No one wants to admit it, but if people are having to shout in each other's ears to place an order at the bar or decide to go for a fag then you've become too loud. [/quote] Yes!

Haven't read all of this thread yet . Sorry if I echo others . Sound checks can vary somewhat . (Ie barman says 'turn it down now !' Then when crowd arrives , you keep it at the level that you started with). I think a 250 watt head or combo is enough personally . One cab could be enough. I've never had the luxury of playing with more than one. Then of course, each venue has different acoustics and shoulld vary considerably . If you prefer a growly sound , an active bass would probably be best . If you want to make the whole place vibrate, get a telecaster bass ( single humbucker pickup) and an Aguilar head/ cab with no tweeter

[quote name='rushbo' timestamp='1434394980' post='2799218'] I was in a Floyd tribute which had Chris Evans ex-wife as lead vocalist! We used to rehearse just outside Lenny Henry's house - the one he shared with Miss French. We were called Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. I didn't bother taking my coat off. [/quote] Best one yet! Could do a stoner version..shine on you lazy diamond ?
