Just bought one of these (from the London Bass show). [b]Pros:[/b] Very good sound, intelligent one controls that really suit me, the toneprint compression is excellent, excellent tuner. Good design. [b]Cons:[/b] The kettle lead is a rather loose fit and I've had to re-insert it a few times. Slight acoustic, high pitched whining noise (not from the fan) from the unit - not a problem for gigs and rehearsals but audible practising at home.

I was there. I now need therapy. This is why. [color=#ff8c00][size=8]L I S T E N:[/size][/color] [url="https://soundcloud.com/spoombung/bass-show-din-2013"]https://soundcloud.c...s-show-din-2013[/url]

No. You don't want either flatwounds or a P-bass. Get a grip, man.

That's a very poor ergonomic design from nearly every angle.

I've been taken off the Saturday list for some reason but I am going!

We desire increase (you'll notice).

Love his acoustic stuff, don't like his Rockabilly thing or Mitchell Froom's dated production

His fingerstyle is very Stanley Clarke. I'm not sure about that funny clicking and clanking sound he makes with his thumb though.

Hank Marvin is God.

"ash tray face"? C'mon....!

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1360781808' post='1976482'] Unfortunately still at work so can't get there in time Hope gig went well Kev and I hope to make one of your next gigs instead [/quote] There was somebody there with a slight resemblance to you, Clarky, but it wasn't the real Clarky.

Well, I've started using it with the band. I got tears of laughter at the rehearsal. Absolutely the right reaction. Highly recommended. I'm amazed no one here has noticed it.

Great thread! keep 'em coming.

Ridiculous the amount of red-faced people talking about Facebook in the 'I don't normally do this sort of thing' manner.

I'm sorry to have to say this but the people who claim there is no innovation in modern music are usually too lazy to take the time to follow the crumbs and investigate music properly. There is always a mass of exciting, innovative music at any given moment in time. There is always something to amaze and inspire you but you have to be bothered to look for it.
