If both cabs stopped simulaneously, I would suspect the amp, service notwithstanding.. when did this occur - before or after service? Tried the amp into another cab and with other cables? Etc.

I dug out my LP of Sweet Dreams.. sleeve notes amounted to zilch!

[quote name='BigRedX' post='1282931' date='Jun 26 2011, 12:13 PM']Sorry I don't think that information is right at all. From what I can find Dean Garcia didn't join the band until the Touch album. All of Sweet Dreams was recorded in a small studio with an 8-track machine. My friend who used the same studio for the recording he did with Dave Stewart said that there wasn't anywhere to record a full band and the drums were done on the Movement Drum Computer synced to tape. Live the drumming was done by Clem Burke of Blondie who had played on the previous Eurythmics album which was recorded in Koln with Conny Plank, so I would have thought if there had been any real drums on the album he would have provided them. [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Is_the_House#Personnel"]Further investigation has thrown up this line up for the recording of This Is The House[/url][/quote] Haha! The plot thickens! Quite so.. I don't fully trust the cd selling websites, and really don't trust Wikipedia either when it comes to it! P'raps a bit of amateur sleuthing / calling in of favours from those in the know is called for...

Corking track, ta for reminding me! The early Eurythmics stff in particular was just so different! According to cduniverse on Sweet Dreams : 'Additional personnel: Vic Martin (keyboards); Dean Garcia (bass); Pete Phipps (drums); Maggie Ryder, Gill O'Donovan, Susie O'List (background vocals).'

I only have side dots on the fret positions (The usual 3,5,7 etc). I, probably like most people, thought it would be the other way round but nope. Those lines and dots just confuse you and keep you in your fretted 'box'. So if your up to buying another I would go for nothing but side dots. Fretless makes you think about what your doing. Which is a good thing A[/quote] +1 to the unlined vote above

I tried a chisel the first time I had a go at this.. it's way easier to make a good job with a router, but it's also way easier to make a complete f''kup as well. I'd go for the router, but practice a few times on spare wood first!

OK, so back onto topic.. If I was looking to spend this kind of money on a fretted 4 string, Floyd's OW would be coming home with me! Seriously fancy it, just seriously no justification.

What a nice green!

The B2.1u only let's you move up and down a series of patches, so you can copy a patch then edit it to lose the fuzz then switch back and forth between the two. If you want individual switching of effects you'll have to go up to the B9.something in Zoom, or at a similar price but without USB connectivity the Boss ME-50B lets you program or use effects singly.

(or just use it standard, a guitar isn't gonna move that much) Gonna be the most cost effective and easiest options.[/quote] +1.. Tribal Planet did one (I have one myself) which is a useful fit if you want to do bass+e-gtr together.

Anything I've ever been given (and I have to say sight reading is not my strong point ) has been the Bass part, written in bass clef. Either that or chords. Sometimes by looking over the pianists shoulder I've noticed that the arranger has given us clashing parts or just plain wrong chords .. makes for some fun discussions and a scramble for the CD player!

How did it go? Sacked or converted?

An added benefit of being sober is that you can appreciate the adrenalin (THE wonder drug IMHO ) far better.

Nice one, Bilbo! I feel sure they could have shoehorned you a bass solo in there, though..

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='1248035' date='May 28 2011, 11:04 AM']That is a gorgeously sensual bassline. I really don't know where Pino's genius comes from. I feel like washing my ears with medical soap afterwards.[/quote] Oooh, the imagery! Totally agree about the bassline, mind.

It worked for Sting! I'm unashamedly biased, but go for it.

...and really, when it comes to it, you're getting into double bass - if that means a change of car then it's well worth it. Welcome home!

[quote name='JPJ' post='1224066' date='May 8 2011, 12:45 PM']Thanks for that, more or less confirmed my thoughts/fears about the neos so it looks like Delta's it is. Just whipped the knackered cone this morning and it's completely fried and the cone won't move! It's next door neighbour is on the way out too as it's squeaking when moved so it looks like four new deltas it is! Anybody got any tips about breaking new cones in?[/quote] How about a solid stint of gigs over, say six weeks or so? Should do the trick!
