I miss vinyl, but the mix & master is more of hot topic for me than CD vs vinyl. Thankfully it seems like the art of a good mix and master is coming back into fashion.

I'm reminded of Janick Gers... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cFyrlCcs70

I only know the one song (Shape of you), but.. he didn't do it for me. it doesn't help that I got bored of looping 10 years ago, and his guitar sounded like like someone beating bed springs with cutlery. When he started rapping, I LOLed and turned over. (I happily acknowledge that millions of people disagree with me).

Hmm.. seriously considering sticking an order in for #3.

[quote name='James Nada' timestamp='1498402186' post='3324322'] Is it just me that thinks the Foo Fighters' "spontaneity" is well practiced? There's something obviously disingenuous about Dave Grohl's laconic charsima. That said, it's showbusiness, I don't have a problem it. [/quote] They're a hard-working band. They probably just don't have to think about it.

It was great to see a band tear up headline slot with zero gimmicks, just rock and roll spirit.

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1498377584' post='3324106'] If you ever hear him play fretless on New York Minute, originally played by Pino on the recording, he absolutely masters it. [/quote] ...part from a teeny bit of wonky intonation on the intro to the HFO version, which sets my teeth on edge whenever I hear it :-) He' a great player, though. They were lucky to have him & Randy.

They're good fun... proper rock and roll entertainers. A lot of the 'event' might be lost watching it on telly.

Rush.

[quote name='jacko' timestamp='1498131227' post='3322668'] he takes an awfully long time to make a fairly simple point. [/quote] Kinda like his solos, then

I was all prepared to watch 30 seconds of this and give up, but that was really interesting. And he's dead-on.

Yeah, it's fab. Love that fat, warm west-coast sound.

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1497340217' post='3317341'] Everyone is a sound engineer these days [/quote] Nope, but everyone has paid to listen to it. :-)

Oh, goodness. I wish I hadn't tracked it down and watched it.. Mind, she's in her mid-70s so I can forgive her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_imZj_gywA

Another +1 for Bandzoogle. I've built about ten sites for different things now, and it's a doddle. Ignore the older templates and use the most recent responsive ones instead, though.

Now I think on, my Promethean has - a couple of times - gone to 'sleep' for a little while, both times after I plugged my laptop in the line-in to play along with something.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1497273620' post='3316933'] Decided to redesign the Jake Custom I had a little while ago. Changes include a Hipshot bridge, no humbucker at the bridge, no dots, ebony instead of rosewood f/b and lollipop tuners. Plus a 34" scale whereas my previous one was 33". This is essentially the spec I have on the way from Lakland (blasphemy!!! ): Fun! Si [/quote] Eh? You're getting this built by Lakland? (Aplogies - I'm slow on the uptake today..!)

[quote name='zitherman' timestamp='1497201603' post='3316502'] After more than 30 years of proud ownership comes the realisation that i cannot manhandle my beloved trace elliot stack on my own any more. I bought the cabs without hearing them as they were extremely rare at the time so i took the gamble on them. Well its gamble time again so ive got 2 Handbox Black Emperor 2x10 cabs coming in a couple of weeks.im gonna try them with my spare head and see how they go.should be easier to load my van anyway. [/quote] I'm intrigued! Hopefully I'll get to see them at some point :-)

You could do a lot worse than a Promethean 2x10... if you can find one. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/303260-sold-ibanez-promethean-p5210-combo/"]Here's one that sold on BC recently[/url]. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9YWd8z2e10

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/282884-the-handbox-amplification-thread/"]Handbox R-400 for me[/url], by a country mile. It's a little bit heavier than you'd like, but it's not actually heavy, and it's compact. And it's an honest old-school 400w. Remember, amps didn't need to be 500-plus watts. The current ratings are a marketing phenomenon that only came about when the technology changed. *ducks behind rock* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLyBAFiJRJY

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1496393697' post='3310992'] Have the prices gone up as well as the difficulties with the £? A fairly simple P bass, 5 string, normal colours etc is now about £1350.... [/quote] Yeah.. still reasonable for a custom build, but I'm beginning to think I got in at the right time.

[quote name='Yukimajou' timestamp='1496222283' post='3309601'] it's for reasons like that that us bassists are tarred as the dumb ones in bands. [/quote] Really, it's not. Hardly anyone cares.
