    DNS issue

    On the contrary I had no issues using Virgin or T-Mobile 3G.
  2. Looks like it might be more of a bass bash for us lot than anything else ! See you there chaps.
  3. We have a non-standard (better) search engine on the forum and it's looks separate process that needs a manual start, alas I don't know the command so will wait for phatmonkey to save us .
  4. Cheers, I'll flag it with phatmonkey.
  5. I have NJ4's in my MIM Jazz. Admittedly it's passive - but it does have that old school vibe to the sound (especially with some old strings on it), I love it. I don't think i've played any basses with Barts that have wowed me so - my biased view is the Nordstrands, would be interested to see how they reacted to some active EQing.
  6. Offers now welcomed .
  7. If your bass is perfectly in tune when you fret each note up the neck (try it with your tuner) then he must be out of tune with the capo, simples.
  8. Went to GuitarGuitar Birmingham a few weeks ago, tried one of the Sadowskys. Can't remember what model 5 string Jazz) it was but it was about £2500. It was a nice bass, but didn't blow me away at all - seemed very expensive for what it was. I'm sure I'd need to play it through my own rig to fully appreciate it but - I wouldn't ever consider one.
  9. Ok nice one - will one grade be enough or do I need to work through a few ?
  10. Love the body - not sure about the headstock shape though, other than that - awesome.
  11. That's the point - it's not possible to define. The above link gives a rough approximation, hence each image is judged on it's own merits. I will try and develop some examples of what isn't allowed, the research i'm sure will be laborious and uninteresting, but that's the price I pay for being a mod .
  12. First gloss coat done, looks good - managed to get it in yesterday before it hammered it down. Anyone got any suggestions on how to finish it better to try and get rid of the 'orange peel' ?
  13. I find long scale set means for a standard scale 34" bass and super long for 35", but that's for D'Addario - no idea of that's different for LaBella.
  14. I don't think the string is to blame, the string-through bridge is effectively making the scale length longer. Thus standard strings might not fit as seen, i'd be go for strings designed for 35" scale at least.
  15. In the same light surfing a website that isn't work related could get someone into trouble. I don't think the website can take responsibility for this and it is down to the member whether this will cause an issue for them. The forum already has a solution with the lofiversion and posts can be made by clicking the link at the top of the lofiversion and resizing your window to hide any possible dodgy images (this has worked for me for 2+ years). I believe the best solution is for any obvious NSFW images to be reported to a moderator. By that I mean under the definition of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_safe_for_work"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_safe_for_work[/url] (this would be dealt with on a case-by-case basis as it is hard to define a proper ruleset). Ultimately though, the forum is not responsible for 'safe browsing' at work.
  16. [quote name='charic' post='960624' date='Sep 18 2010, 06:10 PM']I've got an idea or 2 however it would require website development to be possible. It could also slow down the browsing experience slightly aswell as it would require extras queries on most pages.[/quote] Fire me a PM with details ?
  17. What has to be considered is that there are over 11000 members on this forum, policing them would be impossible without other users reporting them. Someone could easily have a NSFW avatar and not the first post it's on is the one that you look at with the boss nosing in. I agree that avatars should be policed, but I don't see how would be feasible either. I don't think at the moment it is a great problem, the worst i've seen is something i'd see no worse than on the front on FHM, provocative but not really in the boundaries of NSFW.
  18. Avatar choices are a user's prerogative, except if they breach the T&Cs. It may be that we need to clarify this - I will discuss it with the other mods. I think you can't really browse any public content generated website and guarantee avoiding NSFW content.
  19. For the ultimate in stealth browsing, use [url="http://basschat.co.uk/lofiversion/"]http://basschat.co.uk/lofiversion/[/url] .
  20. Hi, this is a bass forum This is starting to smell a little spam like..
  21. Please post updates to your original post rather than creating a new thread with a link to the original.
  22. Can't go any lower - this will cost me £10 to post due to weight.
  23. Phew, I was actually considering selling something.
  24. I think everyone IS actually skint ! If I had the cash I would take this off you without a 2nd thought. It's a good price but a bad market currently .
  25. I think a Yamaha logo would be too fiddly for that method, looks good though . Just overexposed a stock pic of a silver model and this is what the end result should look like, except without frets and nasty roto strings .
