[quote name='TheSiberian' timestamp='1410896736' post='2554506'] They reached a level in the progressive music scene that become reference for bands like Dream Theater, Riverside & co...so I love their music. [/quote] I love Rush [i]despite[/i] this.

[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1410889055' post='2554395'] I see that there is an increasing trend to put "final price drop" on For Sale ads on the forum. Does that mean that the seller won't take anything lower? If so, will it be withdrawn within a certain timeframe? Does it get pulled and stuck on eBay? I know the market is challenging at the moment but what does this message mean, really? [/quote] It's just salesspeak. To be taken with a pinch of salt like all the other salesspeak thrown at you on a daily basis.

As it 'appens, I've just had a quick listen to it today 'cos I'm playing it at a couple of deps I have coming up. As long as the drummer lays it down and keeps the tempo reigned in, I can't really hear anything difficult about it..? Which bits are you referring to?

Class... love 'Out Of the Wilderness'. Was there many in?

Yep, early days but on the basis of last night's gig it's everything I hoped it would be. Such a big, effortless natural sound. The mids 'speak', and respond wonderfully when you dig in. No tweeters, so clarity without 'clack'. And visually, it got a lot of compliments.

Just... awesome. What a cab

In so many ways... Ha ha

[quote name='pfretrock' timestamp='1410543088' post='2550632'] Gasp, that was some Lesson 1. Pete had problems also. Hendrix did not like them for ripping off blues songs and not giving credit. Here's Pete: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTJywZoG_bw[/media] [/quote] Not this tired argument again...!

Oh really...?

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1410456074' post='2549672'] I may need to pop around for a cuppa some time soon... I'm getting itchy fingers! Oh and how very dare you dep with a rock band, that's my patch you are treading on; stick to your Knopfler et al gigs! [/quote] Any time! And yep, I'm probably going to have to play 30x more notes than I normally do, at seven times the volume. I'll need a lie down at half time. :-)

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/245000-ncd-tks-engineering-s212"]Well look what I got...[/url]

Here's more pics. I swear these things are works of art. The build quality is ridiculously good. I have a dep gig tomorrow with a proper ROCK BAND - it'll be a good test, even though the drivers won't really have opened up yet... I can't think of a situation where I'd ever need to use this, but it's an option...

Look what just arrived from [url="http://www.tks.se"]TKS Engineering[/url]! Here's the specs:[list] [*]Impedance: 4 Ω [*]Power handling (high average power test signal): 500W RMS [*]Recommended amplifier power: 100-600W RMS @ 4 Ω [*]Sensitivity[average]: 102 dB SPL @ 1 W/1 m [*]Sensitivity[100Hz]: 100 dB SPL @ 1 W/1 m [*]Sensitivity[max]: 105 dB SPL @ 2,3 kHz, 1 W/1 m [*]Frequency response (-10db): 42 Hz - 4,8 kHz [*]Displacement: 474 cm³ [*]Measurements (WxHxD): 52x76x40 cm [*]Weight: 21 kg [/list] More later...

Mind you, it might not look as good once you've taken sandpaper to the end of the headstock.

Apparently Bassgear have got a whole bunch of 'em in stock.

For some reason (cost cutting?) Fender have started putting out block-marked necks without binding. I don't like it...

[quote name='ratman' timestamp='1410261703' post='2547541'] I switched to flats a couple of years ago, and on my P they were a revelation. For gigs they rocked, I found the sound I'd been looking for, a nice deep tone. But for recording they were severely lacking in the mid frequencies. I then tried half wounds and found the mids I needed, but with all the character of the flats. No more rounds on the P for me! [/quote] I often find that engineers have a default 'roundwound' approach to EQing bass at source and in the mix, which kills the magic of flats.

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1407616981' post='2522420'] A fine attitude displayed there in spite of how much it must sting. [/quote] It did sting - a lot. But I've just watched it and I the mighty Dave Bronze seems to have got the gig, so it hurts a little less. :-)

[quote name='eightbitraptor' timestamp='1410082109' post='2545858'] Citation please. [/quote] One of many from an SEO POV: https://www.highposition.com/blog/hyphenated-domains-google/ From a practical / brand perspective, heir use has been in decline for a long time now. IME.

re: 'sticky' flats - you have to play through that. The fun starts when they go smooth. FWIW, you can help the process along by rubbing them with an old cotton t-shirt.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1409729536' post='2542606'] Post 14 above: "less than a grand" Nice score! [/quote] Whooah... hi-five!

Have I missed the price somewhere? What was it?
