Mine has just been confirmed too. 12 euros delivered. I probably spent more than that on coffee last week!

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1442310709' post='2865879'] was getting prices for an American interested in PB-50 just now. They've just been listed. I got a voucher this morning and no self control. Keenly awaiting confirmation email [/quote] This morning I had a 30 euro voucher. Now I no longer have that voucher.

[quote name='torby' timestamp='1442268096' post='2865708'] I'm trying to get tickets to take my son to the gig in the 3arena in Dublin...[/quote] Modern parenting, eh? My Dad just used to ground me when I was naughty. The threat of being taken to a Muse gig would have kept me compliant for all of my entire teenage years Seriously though, good luck getting tickets. This whole fanclub presale nonsense annoys me but I can see why they do it.

Love the look of these. Matt how does the neck compare to something like an M-2000? ;-) I have absolutely no need for another bass, mind you...

Superlux or the Sennheiser HD202. I recently bought some Superlux HD-681 Evo and they're excellent. I've also owned a pair of HD202 for at least a decade and they're still going strong. Don't think you can go wrong with either.

[quote name='Skybone' timestamp='1441711689' post='2861035'] It does kind of beg the question as to why the USB port was included if you can't edit patches on the computer or use it for recording onto a PC. [/quote] If you could do those things with the little one I think they'd seriously hit sales of the B3.

Looks great. Really nice. I'd love one in sonic blue or shell pink.

I use these Hicon ones: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/hicon_flunderklinkenstecker_winkel.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/hicon_flunderklinkenstecker_winkel.htm[/url] Hicon HI-J63MA05 Angled Jack Really good---two solder tabs (so no faffing about soldering onto the case) and a little plastic sheath to stop the signal connection grounding inside the cover.

I had about 6 lessons with a teacher a couple of years ago. My playing progressed more in those 6 lessons than it had in the 6 years prior to that. A good teacher is invaluable. The trick can be finding a good one.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1441008422' post='2855197'] Bass ... that's the one with four strings, right? [/quote] Only if you're a noob ;-)

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1441093867' post='2855908'] Well I like a pre-amp/DI pedal that gives me some eq for gigs where I`m either using a provided rig, or for emergencies if my own rig goes down. With this in mind I always try to have the DI and my amp being made by the same brand, so I should get the same sound. [/quote] My bass has a 3 band active EQ on it so I'm not that bothered about getting one with EQ. Cheers for the advice folks, reckon it's either the samson or the art.

Tried to do a search but there are so many mentions of "DI" on here that its hard. I have a voucher for Thomann that needs spent and I have half a mind to get a DI box---either for practicing at home via my mixer (so I can use headphones etc) or as a backup for gigs. Any recommendations at the cheaper end of the market? Both the Samson S-Direct and the Art Xdirect look pretty decent. http://www.thomann.de/gb/samson_sdirect_aktive_dibox.htm http://www.thomann.de/gb/art_xdirect.htm

To answer my own question, yes they still do vouchers for reviews. Reviewed €60 worth of stuff, got €30 voucher in return. Top work!

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1440880593' post='2854571'] All done and sounding amazing. Very happy indeed! [/quote] Looks great! Not seen you over at "the other place" recently. No more guitaring?

Does anyone know if Thomann still do vouchers for reviews?

[i]Some[/i] people will tell you that having a second pickup will affect the tone, even if that pickup is totally disconnected electronically, because the magnetic field from it will affect the vibration of the strings. Whether or not you think that that would make any meaningful difference is probably best decided by an angry four hundred page thread.

In my opinion "solid" could only be seen as an insult if you're either massively insecure or you have a chip on your shoulder about something. I'd be very happy to be called solid. Similarly reliable, steady, and all the other synonyms.

The first Rage Against The Machine album (the self-titled one) is the best starting point. Every track is a killer.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1439557498' post='2843887'] How do you feel about left handed pianos? [/quote] To be blunt - they strike me as particularly pointless. At least with basses the two hands have different functions, on piano both hands have to do exactly the same things.

[quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1439540059' post='2843614'] Que? [/quote] You don't get left handed violins. You do get left handed guitars. That confuses me.

I find the idea of "left handed" instruments a bit odd. You don't get left handed flutes, clarinets, cellos, pianos, etc (well, you get the odd one here and there as a novelty but they're exceedingly rare). Not knocking left handers but genuinely not sure why basses and guitars are an exception.
