Sounds like you'll have fun deciding what to go for ! I've had a UK Overwater in the past (Progress III Deluxe) and currently have a 'Tanglewater' Contemporary J (as per below) and both have been outstanding quality.

I've always only taken one (spaces issues) but for an upcoming dep gig i'm taking 2. Mostly for the chance of getting to play them live since i've had them months and they've not been used in anger yet. But also to be able to swap between sets and get a different sound as the sets do change quite significantly in style.

Those Supertone bridges aren't cheap - I looked at getting one for mine but sanity kicked in. I'm not going to pay out half the cost of an instrument just to upgrade the bridge Ignoring this design flaw (not manfacturing), I do enjoy playing it and it's looks and sound make up for the setup issues.

I think the hardest part with T-Birds is the setup. The 3 point bridge is a bit crappy and the saddles have no height adjustment making it troublesome to find a perfect balance, i'd imagine this is the same for Gibsons too. My Epiphone is my 'last' bass in terms of preference, but that doesn't mean it's underperforming. I think maybe get an Epiphone T-Bird and see if it works for you - you can always sell it on without losing too much (£50 or so) so it's not a costly experiment.

I bought some ER20s a few months ago and have yet to utilise them ! The Hearos I had were good for overall volume reduction but I couldnt understand a word people said in silence in them !

Got 30 songs to learn for a dep gig in Jan... Last one learnt is James Brown - I Feel Good.

Looks like he got a batch lot from somewhere. Maybe someone did a mass trade in ?

There is no limit on when this can be, Jan or Feb is perfectly feasible if we get people committed (in the attendance rather than psychological sense).

Thomastik flatwounds seem to be quite low tension - give them a go ? Not cheap, mind.

How about we cut out the middleman and you send it direct to me ?

Glad you had fun, I managed to forget about it whilst I was away !

[quote name='Hamster' timestamp='1322502484' post='1451694'] Ahhhhhh - 'template' - I just wonder why when I searched for the settings it's not under 'skins' or 'themes' [/quote] Yeah - be careful though - pressing the wrong button can have very ill effects. As evident from when the mobile theme was broken last time. Whoever that was

There, I fixeded it. For some reason it was just 'hidden' in the template options.

A good mix of budgets per issue is great - I think the latest issue wasn't far off that but maybe lacked a real budget instrument (the G&L was midrange). The only thing that irked me was overuse of the term [i]triumvirate. [/i]It was a new one on me and it seemed to plastered around a lot ! Other than that, I think it's going in the right direction and look forward to the next issue (of which the gap always feels longer than last time !).

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1322138135' post='1446975'] Until the required result is achieved. Just like the real government! [/quote] We COULD just set the poll results to whatever we want. Can the real Government do that ?

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1322133084' post='1446840'] Is there a URL I can go to explicitly to see the mobile site?[/quote] It seems that the site auto detects your browser and gives you a skin based on what it sees. On my Android the URL is the same as my PC and they get different skins.

FWIW - my vote is to get rid of it entirely.

I'm unsure about the strength of the acousti-glass (plastic) top, don't think they would have wanted me doing any stress tests on it in the review though. The fact the pickups couldn't be blended really bothered me, who biamps in the real world ? Not many people. I suppose if you look at it in another way - it's a unique looking instrument that can do both an electric bass and an acoustic bass sound. What other basses in this price range have piezos ?

Like I said, silly.

Like in party politics, the option with the most votes would be the winner. For example... Red party = 50 votes Blue party = 50 votes Yellow party = 49 votes Green party = 51 votes The winner here is Green, but only 25.5% of people are in favour of them. 74.5% are in favour of NOT Green - but do they win ? The only way it would work is if 2 parties worked together to form a coalition of voters and vote for the same thing, forming a majority and overall control of the outcome. But that would be silly.

Looks like the current majority is to totally deactivate it. I'll admit that would certainly create less problems for us.

No problem Linus27 - this review has only been here nearly 4 years .

It sounds like they look back on their heavy stuff with a little disdain and are belittling the fans that want to hear that part of their history. That's a great shame - as without those fans they wouldn't be there.

No minimum, it'd just be nice if lots of people had their say ! This forum is a democracy, sometimes.
