  1. [quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1447593234' post='2908707'] Timing is a funny thing. Some have said his timing is bad, but I like a bit of slop that gives a dynamic. The bad drummers I work with are more like the type who drop sticks and forget songs altogether. Wish I could work with a drummer this bad! [/quote] Ha ha, tell me about it. We booked a studio for 12 hours on a Sunday a few years back. Drummer, who lived about 2 hours away (as did we all) arrived without sticks or cymbals. Four hours recording time lost right there. That's a bad drummer.
  2. [quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1447747766' post='2909890'] How many here have met Tim? *Tumbleweed* So until then reserve your judgement, yeah? [/quote] A picture paints a thousand words.
  3. The cover of a music magazine - or any magazine - featuring a weapon unless strictly in context is horrendous timing at any time. My opinion of any individual who thinks it's cool to pose with a weapon is also not that high.
  4. [quote name='No lust in Jazz' timestamp='1447162863' post='2905390'] It is a bargain - I would have bought it, but I already own two of them. [/quote] Always good to have a spare
  5. ...'third world'
  6. [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1447623691' post='2909109'] I've not looked, but what's the comparison between gun-toting USA and France concerning gun-related deaths over, say, the last 20 years or so, per capita..? I'll see what I can find, but I rather think the balance is in favour of gun control. Edit: here's a Wiki page with some figures which, if true, show France to have far less deaths than the US ... [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate"]Death by firearms, by country ...[/url] [/quote] Comparison between USA and France? Uniquely in the 'developed' world death rates from violence in the USA are more on a level with those of countries that the likes of Trump would consider uncivilised, lawless and
  7. Now that's a proper Precision
  8. No
  9. I have something to pay for so will accept £475 posted for this. It's 100% as new, has probably been played less than most shop floor models - and no doubt at lower volumes, it will be sent in all original packaging with original documentation, and is a bloody bargain
  10. One of the truly great basses, and one that a few well known players 'actually' play in the studio, as opposed that is to the bass their marketing material suggests that they play It probably deserves a place alongside PBass, JBass, Ric, Wal and Stingray as a 'must play at some stage' instrument. Having said that, I doubt any of that list could touch it for build quality, and only the Wal would get close for versatility, and even that's debatable. Goes without saying that Nik's a great guy to deal with so this wing be around long! C
  11. [quote name='Jakester' timestamp='1447090274' post='2904767'] Don't be surprised if you do try and follow it up to be on the receiving end of a claim against you for injury sustained as a result of tripping over one of your "dangerously"* sited stands... [/quote] [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1447090781' post='2904778'] Just leave it. No big deal is it? Just replace the stand and move on. sh*t happens, no-one got hurt and at least she didn't break anything worth hundreds of pounds. [/quote] Your answer is leave it, and the reasons are articulated nicely in the above two posts
  12. [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1446651781' post='2901167'] No, I haven't tried that at all. However, given the pure and accurate reproduction (mine revealed a technique shortcoming in short order that I'd not heard before with other rigs) I think the results would be rather good. [/quote] Ha ha, not sure we need a PA with the potential to reveal shortcomings
  13. [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1446859421' post='2903065'] ... and that other bloke playing over a 4/4-6/4 count isn't 'overplaying'..? I'm confused. [/quote] Yep, have to agree with that
  14. But he's not playing in a band situation and is clearly doing it to show off his skills. Not my thing but fair play to him.
  15. can you provide all the usual dimensions Rabbie, site says 'full size' but I assume it's not 4/4? Also, looks like it breaks down quite quickly, how long does it take to put back up? Please consider me very interested either way Chris
  16. Now you don't see those coming up for sale often. How does it sound, feel and play? Can it be sent by courier? Cheers C
  17. Just opened a couple of boxes from Jamie, I can't tell you how easy and enjoyable it was to do business with him, great comms and immediate delivery, and it should not go without noting that even the courier noted the quality of the packing! Highly highly recommended. Chris
  18. [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1446127388' post='2897141'] Stop it! Mind you a 14x5 rig would move some air [/quote] Yes, possibly even bi-amped/stereo air....... Other option I was considering here was that of buying another and using them as PA for small gigs when the need arises, I'm pretty sure they'd do a damn decent job given how good they sound with guitars and other instruments. Any experience?
  19. [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1446309255' post='2898520'] Rarer than a rare thing... especially as it is LH! [/quote] No it isn't
  20. With obvious exceptions you can pretty much put anything through anything. Part of the mojo of the B-15 tone is however the cab. Perhaps try it the other way around, that is put another head through the B-15 cab, and you might see what I mean. Volume/power is one thing, and is easily achieved, mojo on the other hand is a little more elusive
  21. [quote name='hookys6stringbass' timestamp='1445950777' post='2895614'] What a find!!! I've been after one of these for years to add to my vintage Yamaha collection...enjoy. [/quote] Thanks mate, I'll let you know if/when I decide to sell it
  22. [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1446034728' post='2896329'] Curses! Too much deliberation at Ez Towers; you snooze, you lose (I hadn't even raised it with Lady Ez so it's my own fault). [/quote] Life is what happens whilst you're waiting to make your mind up A two PB300 rig with the Cub on top would be something though......
  23. Heavy is the only way, lightweight works, but only to a point.
