  1. [url="http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6099434/bono-the-edge-join-fenders-board-of-directors?sf26722690=1"]Really.[/url] I mean.. WTF?
  2. It's a Kay! One of these was my first ever bass...
  3. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/232731-looking-for-an-old-school-string-mute-solution-patton-mute-pad/"]Here's what I use[/url]. It might seem a bit overkill, but a ) you can whip it in and out(!) in seconds between songs, and b ) it looks cool.
  4. These cabs really are remarkable. Even though they're ceramic they weigh nothing. And because they're ceramic, they're very reasonably priced, and they have that ceramic tonal thing going on.* [size=3]*IMO this is something hard to describe, but it exists. Feel free to disagree.[/size]
  5. Google calendar. Sorted.
  6. They're absolutely stunning! The new designs are beautiful. The S112s are incredible even without taking the price into account. Nice to have another TKS owner on here. I didn't get tweeters in mine, either - don't need 'em. If anyone wants to know more about these, I urge you to head over to [url="http://www.tks.se"]www.tks.se[/url].
  7. [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1401279337' post='2461932'] But, if I had written it and it found its way to Pharrell Williams he wouldn't have reached 3m hits? [/quote] No doubt it would, my point is that we both know that probably wouldn't happen. There are a million - dare I say it - better songs out there which never get to a wider audience 'cos the writer isn't 'connected'. Such is life.
  8. [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1401277730' post='2461908'] Er, I think you're missing the point. [/quote] It wasn't a direct response to any point you made. I was merely making a point of my own.
  9. [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1401272602' post='2461823'] Wish I had written it. [/quote] If you had, it probably wouldn't have gotten 3m YouTube views, and this thread probably wouldn't exist.
  10. I've heard loads about this tune, so I've just listened to it on YouTube expecting it to be vaguely familiar... but I don't recognise it at all. Do I win a prize? Anyway, it's inoffensive enough, but - 3,000,000 YouTube views? I think we're amazed by mediocrity a little bit too often these days. (Yes, I'm over 40 years old)
  11. That's yer classic P-with-rounds tone, that.
  12. [quote name='marcblum' timestamp='1401134130' post='2460489'] My drummer says: "It's got the WALL FACTOR [/quote] As in: 'I bought a Mesa Bass Strategy, and as a result I've gone to the...'?
  13. Lovely! What's the weight?
  14. That's fair enough. It's a bit of a worry that some people avoid using the phone so much. We're becoming such an impersonal society.
  15. Isn't that illegal? I would have a word with someone about that.
  16. I seem to recall reading that the production issues were caused by legal problems, rather than logistical.
  17. [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1400589463' post='2455160'] I don't (and won't!) use FB. I guessed it would be a movable feast, but was just wondering about a rough estimate. Are we talking under £100? Between £100 and £200? That sorta thing... [/quote] For some reason I was sure you were on FB! I'm losing my mind. IME, you're looking at between £200 and £300... ish.
  18. Jauqo, can you drop me a PM, please? I don't seem to be able to send you one. Thank you.
  19. Basschat's very own Chiliwailer. I'm sure he'll have his reasons.
  20. [Mod note - merged thread with other, deleted duplicate post]
  21. [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1400309777' post='2452733'] On the subject/description of the heft/punch etc being discussed; Dave Funk (designer of Thunderfunk amps [among others]) described it as some amps throw doughnuts whereas others cannonballs... or words to that affect! [size=4] [/size] [/quote] Yeah - that sounds about right.
  22. Whatcha going for?
  23. [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1400175191' post='2451511'] How is this still here? There should be the sounds of piggy banks being smashed everywhere to nab it! [/quote] I'm poised, believe me...
  24. As an aside, Gmail are determined to classify my BC email as spam. I had to set up really specific rules to make sure they landed in my inbox.
  25. Oh goodness. I've been holding out for something with a maple neck. I've been holding out for something with a maple neck. I've been holding out for something with a maple neck. I've been holding out for something with a maple neck. I've been holding out for something with a maple neck. I've been holding out for something with a maple neck. I've been holding out for something with a maple neck. I've been holding out for something with a maple neck. I've been holding out for something with a maple neck.
