[quote name='bode' post='1297813' date='Jul 8 2011, 11:11 PM']Any guitarists who need to use capos simply don't know enough chords. My old band tuned down to D because it sounded heavier. We learnt any covers by ear using D tuning and that was that, no capos, no moving up frets.[/quote] Capos aren't only for guitarists who don't know their chords. Just as some people tune down to D because it sounds heavier, some people will use a capo to make it sound crisper/janglier or whatever. Also, slide players and others using open tunings will sometimes use a capo to give them different open strings without retuning.

Rule 1: Tune your instrument how you want to tune it. Don't let other people dictate that to you. Rule 2: Establish the key signature and play the song where you want to play it. Rule 3: Rules 1 & 2 may be broken in special cases.

[quote name='brick' post='1297068' date='Jul 8 2011, 12:38 PM']Hiya im just needing a bit of advice on using this live and was wondering if anyone could help. Wanting to use the Bass Buddy to send a DI signal to the mixing desk but i need to find a way to send a signal to my amp also. The problem is with the 2 jack outputs, the 1st is a line/tuner out and the 2nd is 10watt 8ohm speaker out, pretty sure that its not a good idea to be taking a signal from either of these outputs.[/quote] The line/tuner out ought to be fine.

[quote name='Ross' post='1296360' date='Jul 7 2011, 08:00 PM']That isn't creativity. That is teaching you how to use the tools and make your job easier.[/quote] So, what is this thing 'creativity' that you claim cannot be taught?

What's wrong with 19?

[quote name='Clarky' post='1291742' date='Jul 4 2011, 07:24 AM']OT but which black nylons do you use? I tried some Roto TruBass on my Eko fretless acoustic and they were too plasticky sounding. I'm currently using TI Flats on it[/quote] TI Flats on mine too.

Bilbo allowed me the excellent opportunity of reading chapter 1 (that's before the amendments) and I recommend we all buy a copy. Fascinating. Good luck with the amendments Rob.

Congratulations. If that's the one they've had in for a while then I've had a go on it. Very nice.

What do we think of this? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330583547310&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url]

[QUOTE] (Kyron @ Jun 30 2011, 07:23 PM) Dave sold me his Son's Korg EMX Synth/Sequencer Excellent Communication and when it arrived (Well-Packaged of Course!), all Minor faults were exactly as described; I was made fully aware ,before buying, in perfect Detail I'm yet to meet a Better BC'er to deal with! Kyron [/quote] Too generous Kyron, thanks very much.

I seem to remember Basschatter wesfinn did this. I don't suppose he is the only one.

I sold Kyron an Electribe EMX. Excellent communication, speedy payment, and very straightforward to deal with. I recommend you deal with Kyron at your earliest opportunity.

I used to be in a band which styled its music POPROKADELICA

I have one exactly like this. Very nice bass but I think in the present climate £1000 is steep. Especially as the tugbar has been moved and two new screw holes added. Also, pickup only from Bristol doesn't help and the pics are very poor.

Don't burst and surgical spirit. Definitely.

In my experience Parcelforce are no worse than anyone else. In fact, on average, I'd say they are better than most of the others. My worst experiences are all with City Link who are particularly awful. I won't bore you with the details

[quote name='BigBeatNut' post='814469' date='Apr 21 2010, 11:23 PM']I guess I'll have to order a set of Detroit Flats and hope for the best.[/quote] And did you, and were they the correct ones?

[quote name='UNITY GAIN' post='1280477' date='Jun 24 2011, 07:23 AM']Just for the record (I know this is an old thread) they could possibly be LaBella 'Jamersons'. The blue of the silk looks to be the same colour and ball is also the same a s pic'd... brassy looking. However, the Jamersons have VERY high tension so that is a dead give-away. If they are not high tension they are not Jamersons.[/quote] Just for the record, the string we were looking at didnt have any silk.
