It's time to give Modulus a shout methinks

Modulus Porn, very nice indeed.

I think that sharing these 'special moments' is a great idea, it may help with GAS too (or make it worse).

This is a great thread, I've got one incoming this week too, from Finland Breath still bated. Peter

Aha then that's good, I think

I play root, 5th chords in one song. I should have asked this question years ago but what exactly is a 'double stop'? There's always one and it's usually me. Peter

I've lusted for one of these, and posted on Basschat to see if anyone has one I can try (to no avail). They don't come up for sale in the UK very often. I can't afford it, but an ancient eBay search popped up and I had to act. I have a notice sellotaped on the front door "I'm in, so knock hard", I daren't go to the loo, no music playing, porch door open to aid hearing knock at the door. [/quote] It all sounds very mysterious and a tad exciting. Bated breath, details photos soonest please. Despite all your precautions you'll probably wait til 5.30pm before finding a failed delivery note tucked into your gatepost

Hiya Have you looked into the ACG filter based pre-amps. You'll get a greater range of tone than any other pre imo and I suspect is would complement the Sei perfectly. I'm a fan of the Retro series, John East makes the ACG pre too.

EMG's go up to 27V, why stop at 18

[quote name='4000' post='616729' date='Oct 4 2009, 07:01 PM']I don't think it really changed mine very much at all, but then I have generally always been more interested in songs and music than just bass (although I might not have been so mad about Stanley Clarke otherwise. ). Most of the music I still love most is music that I loved way before I ever picked up an instrument; pop, rock, jazz, prog etc. The only thing it really did do was negative, in that I stopped being able to enjoy music in the same way I did before I was a player; now I tend to find myself listening to the playing or the mix or whatever instead of being able to enjoy the music for what it is. I think that my point is that musicians can sometimes end up looking at music like spellchecker looks at text, i.e. missing the bigger picture. Great mask by the way. "Behind this mask is an idea, and ideas are bulletproof!".[/quote] Thank you, I'm trying to persuade the band that fancy dress is in order for our Guy Fawkes charity gig on the 6th of Nov. I've always loved music and now enjoy it even more. I just appreciate a good bassline more than I used to.

It'll be interesting to know what the entirety of the tweaks are on this version. With RP's 1st: Tone Control Bass Center Freq: 125Hz (range: 71-1.12kHz, Gain: +15/-24dB) Low Mid Center Freq: 224Hz (range: 100-1.6kHz, Gain: +15/-15dB) High Mid Center Freq: 630Hz (range: 200-3.25kHz, Gain: +15/-15dB) Treble Center Freq: 6.3kHz (range: 4kHz – 10kHz, Gain: +12/-24dB) RH450 Tone control Bass Center Freq: 280Hz (range: 71-1120Hz, Gain: +15/-24dB) Low Mid Center Freq: 400Hz (range: 100-1600Hz, Gain: +15/-24dB) High Mid Center Freq: 800Hz (range: 200-3150Hz, Gain: +15/-24dB) Treble Center Freq: 1600Hz (range: 400-6300Hz, Gain: +12/-24dB) Interesting. So how does in sound compared to the RH450? Peter

[quote name='4000' post='616495' date='Oct 4 2009, 01:48 PM']I'm not sure it's discerning taste. Sometimes I think we get far too carried away with things that have nothing to do with communication, which is what music is really all about. Oh, and surely we ARE part of the public? Can't say I'm keen on the I/we know better philosophy; there's a dark place at the end of that road.[/quote] I can only speak for myself but I do know that picking up an instrument changed my taste in music. Doesn't make me better but certainly makes me different.

Very nice Rich. I'm kinda chuffed you rated my P You have a pm.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='616416' date='Oct 4 2009, 12:26 PM']These days I always try to say 'I don't like something' rather than 'it/he/she's crap!' Doddy told me about a converation he had with a guitar teacher. The teacher cited Flea as being probably the world's best player, only because Flea was probably the only bass player he'd taken notice of. In the land of the blind, the manic slap player is king. [/quote] No pun intended?

[quote name='bubinga5' post='616391' date='Oct 4 2009, 12:04 PM']i apologise for my close minded rant...its never a good idea to post anything after you have been out for the evening....i really like some of Fleas playing..my comments were a little immature..[/quote] Sometimes perhaps I feel that players deserve more recognition than others seem to get. This can be frustrating. However the musical tastes of the public are not our own. As a musician (I'm not sure I qualify) we tend to have discerning taste perhaps?

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='616243' date='Oct 4 2009, 09:15 AM']I still think 'Blood Sugar' is one of the best albums ever, and is a bass tour-de-force. 'Mellowship Slinky' is amazing...and bloody hard to play![/quote] +1 I'm a VW and MM fan too btw. We don't need to be mutually exclusive here

I've already got one. Err... well it's got a Sadowsky pre in it anyway

Rich came from home via Liverpool to pick up my G&L Tribute. A very nice guy with oodles of talent and he also brought his Streamline along for me to have a look at. The Streamline is seriously nice. He gave pretty much all my basses a check out and they've all gone on strike now It was Rich, a pleasure. Apols about the soya milk in the tea Peter

[quote name='NickH' post='615749' date='Oct 3 2009, 02:59 PM']What an absolute monkey. Good luck getting the whole crowd in the pub to be quiet while he tunes! Punch in the nose incoming shortly I imagine Seriously, dude - ditch this guy and get someone with a clue. You'll be happier and more relaxed, enjoy the music more, you'll get to do some gigs, [b]and he'll be gently removed from the potential pasting he's very likely to receive[/b]. Everyone's a winner.[/quote]

A great band back then definately. Are they 'The Beat' or 'The English Beat' as they had to rename themselves due a US band with the same name?
