    Whats wrong with holding social events in non licensed premises? Not every event or night out has to involve alcohol. 

    Saying that going somewhere dry is preventing you from having a drink is like saying going to an Italian is preventing you from eating tacos.


    Unfortunately, that's British culture. 
     

    A lot of people you think are your friends are actually just drinking buddies. 
     

    Try to arrange something without alcohol and await the excuses.

    It's the same one as how do you know if someone ran a marathon. 

     

    It's because rather than quietly getting on with being vegan, they are usually very boastful and evangelical about it and tell everyone even if theyre not interested and don't need to know. They want everyone to join the cause, as is the case in the OP advert. 

     

    BTW - did I tell you I've run a marathon...

     

    Tim - that only happens if you read the Daily Mail on a regular basis...

    Decided to have another look at MarloweDK as i'm still getting a bit of fret buzz at 3-5th fret. Seems the 4th fret is high. Straight edge is rocking a bit over it when resting over 3rd to 5th fret. Also same around the 12th fret so gonna speak with Chris at McIntyre guitars after the festive period and get him to sort out. 

    My VM4 has string height 1mm at 3rd fret on E string and 1.5mm at 12th fret and no fret buzz at all. There's not much in it and thinking its down to this 4th fret being a touch high.

    Bit surprised that 4th fret is slightly high considering the get "plek" treated at factory. Bass is a 2016 model but there's no fret wear that i can see.

    Buzz at 5th fret would indicate a back bow - have you checked the neck/truss rod?

    I'm not sure if you're talking about the Inca Silver or LPB one, but do you still own it?

     

    Other than that, I don't know why some people are talking about basses as investments, that's something else entirely.

    As for the new CV Jazz basses or any of the recent used Indonesian ones, sure, they're out there and people are buying them, but the Chinese ones are superior...that's why they sell for more...easy enough to understand.

    (I'm talking about the limited edition Inca Silver and Lake Placid Blue ones, that is, but the Chinese Squier CV '50s Precision in LPB is in the same category and they sell for more than the new ones, too...$500 and up.)


    It was an Inca Silver Jazz - I sold it because I didn't understand all the hype about them. Made a tidy profit mind you...

    Many pedal sized graphic eqs tend to have wide Q. They may not be exact instruments if something specific is not working. But they may be good enough for some tweaking.

     

    What's wrong with the MB eq?


    9/10 gigs I do, the sound person wants a DI straight from the bass before the amp. 
     

    I'm trying to get more control of my FOH tone. 

  6. I am after a 3 band EQ to go between my Polytune and Radial DI for gigs. I am not interested in gain or overdrive. I would also like it to add no colour of any sort and be as 'neutral' sounding as possible. 
     

    Current set-up is Jazz > Polytune > Radial DI > Mark Bass combo. 
     

    Cheers.
