For the Blockheads' gig at Cropredy on Saturday.. Guy Pratt, apparently. -
It's legit - that's where the bridge is on the Custom Classics.

[quote name='Oldman' post='1333430' date='Aug 9 2011, 11:52 AM']Hindsight being the wonderfull thing it is, I could agree, but it was my Nowt, hence the OP, and now its sorted.[/quote] I appreciate what you're saying, but hindsight generally takes the form of 'If only I knew then what I know now.' I seem to recall that people were suggesting you contact SWR all the way through the thread. I, for one, was a little puzzled why you didn't. ...until now, but it's all sorted and it's all good. -
By ear.

Lovely, lovely flats. Anyone who says flats do nothing but thump should get acquainted with one little word - mids.
-
Load of fuss about nowt. SWR should have been emailed straight away. Glad it's sorted, though.

FlatEric - can you hack into CK's account and change his avatar to something else, please? That goat keeps sending me subliminal messages to hurt people.

The best P-bass I've seen for a long time!

I imagine they'll sell all 30 no problem. -
Excellent! Nice feeling, isn't it? North-East of England, or Scotland?

Help with Bassix EUB found in the Loft
wateroftyne replied to JMT3781's topic in EUB and Double Bass
[quote name='JMT3781' post='1327988' date='Aug 4 2011, 11:09 PM']not the most encouraging of feedback lol! well i guess you can call it a piezo... its half a pbass pickup underneath the bridge lol[/quote] Under the bridge? Zoiks... Nah, it's not the one I had. I'm sure with decent electrics in there it'll do the job... -
Help with Bassix EUB found in the Loft
wateroftyne replied to JMT3781's topic in EUB and Double Bass
I used to own one identical to this... maybe even the same one? Anyway, it was a backup for my other Bassix EUB... but it was a completely different beast and I was never happy with it. Is there a piezo anywhere on it? -
I've decided what my all-time favourite bass tone is...

[quote name='twowheeledwriter' post='1327340' date='Aug 4 2011, 04:36 PM']Great song - hadn't heard it before. Lovely tone. Thanks for sharing.[/quote] Isn't it? I'm doing some recording at the mo, and I'm going to ask the engineer to make me sound just like that. -
[quote name='Shockwave' post='1326842' date='Aug 4 2011, 12:58 PM']I stand by what I have said in regards to the form the haggling took and what I think of it. I apologise for bringing a paraphrase of PM's into public domain. I was angry considering (Which I think everyone would agree) the price was ridiculously low as it was. His bringing the issue into the public thread presented an opportunity to me to respond, in hindsight innapropriately[/quote] Very inappropriately, I'd say...! But... we all make mistakes. -

[quote name='alexclaber' post='1326565' date='Aug 4 2011, 10:08 AM']Exactly. Some people find the TC amps sound very loud to them because the APM does its stuff in a way that's pleasing to their ears - I know I wouldn't because I don't like that kind of compression etc[/quote] This may - or may not explain why I didn't get on with the TC more than I did... it seemed overly compressed and saggy to my ears. Whereas the Streamliner was instant punchy SHAZAM. Of course, the next post will be to point out that that the Streamliner employs similar management technology to the TC, and I'm going to look stupid. Whatever the reason, the TC just sounded odd to me. That said, plenty of other people who heard it thought it was great.

[quote name='Shockwave' post='1326049' date='Aug 3 2011, 07:49 PM']Can you believe this guy tried to haggle with me on PM? Not cheap enough for you?[/quote] I agree with Chris... this is a bad attitude for a Mod. IMO.

[quote name='risingson' post='1326307' date='Aug 3 2011, 11:24 PM']It's just the comment led me to believe you were a little irate at my point of view. No harm intended of course![/quote] I'm not irate - you made a point and I agreed with it.

You're making stuff up again....

[quote name='risingson' post='1326275' date='Aug 3 2011, 10:56 PM']*snip* it's an interesting read for those who haven't seen the original articles *snip*[/quote] Yeah.. I thought so too.

[quote name='risingson' post='1326266' date='Aug 3 2011, 10:50 PM']Sorry to be harsh, but i don't think it's particularly great![/quote] Who said it was great?

...and it's incredibly simple. But I love it. Bob Glaub, I believe...

Hi all This is probably old news, but just in case it isn't... I was looking for something and [url="http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/newbay/bp_sessionlegends/index.php#/0"]stumbled across this[/url]. I'm not sure whether it's *supposed* to be open access, but it is. And it's got a few interesting bits and bobs in it. As our cousins over the water say: enjoy!

NBD - NS Design CR4 EUB in the house!
wateroftyne replied to wateroftyne's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Cheers! I've given it a clean, and raised the action to proper hairy-arsed-bloke's DB height, and... ...my hands hurt. It sounds lovely, though... -
Thanks to Mr. Subaudio, this landed on my doormat this morning... ..and now the fun starts - my fingers hurt already.

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=131575"]Here's a thread from a little while back[/url]. I don't know if anyone has experience of the new models yet...
