    Indeed, why a four string neck?
  2. Count Bassy
    I actually quite lake the shape of the headstock. But that is about all I do like about it.
  3. Count Bassy
    What's this "fifth" thing you mention?
  4. Count Bassy
    Bass players who have way too many effects pedals (i.e. more than zero). It's a bass guitar, no-one except other bass players will even notice. Also goes for guitarists to some extent. Pedal boards that they spend ages fiddling with between songs. Just play the bloody thing.
  5. Count Bassy
    Possibly, but I suspect that if you told any engineering minded person that you wanted a nut with adjustable string height then 80% would come up with either the two screw tilting nut idea, or the 4/5/6 screw individual string adjustment idea. The rest would probably suggest shims.
  6. Count Bassy
    IMHO the adjust-a-nut princible is so obvious that you couldn't really say anyone invented it. Lots of people must have thought of it but didn't have the equipment/couldn't be arsed to follow it through. More a case of who decided to actually make and market it first.

    It's a bass cab. Doesn't matter what it looks like.
  8. Count Bassy
    Isn't the clue in the name. i.e "Pirate"?
  9. Count Bassy
    What ? All of them? It doesn't help your arguement if you just make stuff up and then claim it as a fact. Next thing you'll be saying that everyone eats their neighbour's pets.
  10. Count Bassy
    I think you have already said it. No need to try and make you.
  11. Count Bassy
    But in that case almost anything can be called a health issue. e.g. other people, especially other drivers, having to work, not having a job, traffic, the guvment, people complaining about the noise etc. etc.
  12. Count Bassy
    You first statement is a matter of opinion. I disagree. Your second statement is simply wrong. Noise CAN be a health problem but it all depends on the level. I can't think of any club I've been to where the noise outside is anywhere like a health problem. Possibly annoying to neighbours, but a health problem? No. If you move next to that sort of existing noise source then you should have no right to complain.
  13. Count Bassy
    It's a case of who was there first. If you build a dwelling next to a noisy venue then that should be your responibility. If a bar/cub opene up next to you then it's their responsibility. It's the "Agent of Change " princible.
  14. Count Bassy
    Soprano OK then?
  15. Count Bassy
    Can't fault his enthusiasm though.
  16. Count Bassy
    Which, let's be honest, is how 99.9 % of the population would view it.
  17. Count Bassy
    Me too. Working on our house on a genuinely turned off circuit. Touched the earth and neutral together, which tripped the RCD (leaving me in darkness). Shouted down to my daughter to reset it please, and seeing the RCD and this circuits MCB tripped, helpfully reset both for me. In I went with my cutters............ EDITED : Luckily they were properly insulated electricials cutters.

    Which Kawai digital was it? My wife (a piano teacher) has a Kawai ES8 (one before the current model) and it sounds and feels great. Note quite like a real one, but very close. (She has a real one (Woodchester) as well)

    Indeed, deionised water can be used as an insulator; But, if you were to touch something tht was "Live", would you rather do it with a dry bit of skin, or a wet bit of skin?
  20. Count Bassy
    Something I read somwhere, a long time ago: Electricity and water don't mix, especially when connected by people!

    I have knocked £10 off this as I realised that the "New" prices I was looking at generally included postage As per title, a "Audio Spares" 15M stage box. Has been repaired a few times, by myself, but all functioning. (the individual pairs do not like rough handling). Comes complete with case, as per photos. Pick up preferred, but could post (parcel force 48 hour) for an an additional £20. (It weighs just over 10kg) These typically seem to be about £120 new. NOTE THAT: As part of the clear out I am/will soon be listing: Marshall Bass state B150 15" combo. Laney DP100 15" combo. Behringer BEQ3012 two channel 32 band equaliser with feedback detection. 4u ABS flight case Two Shermann PA cabinets (15" + 6" + tweeter). Seriously professional bits of kit. 12 + 4 25m Snake cable/box Behringer FBQ6200 32 band, 2 channel equaliser with feedback detection. Large base tall lighting stand Various LED lighting units & controllers Ibanez SR505 Bass.

    Actually not yet. It's still in our hallway annoying Mrs Bassy, if you want it it's yours (to collect). I used to work in Coalville for a couple of years about 10 years ago.

    However: Playing the notes exactly as the original is not nessecarily being the best musician you can! It's the same old argument. Do you think that the Black Crows played it the same every time? I suspect not.
