[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1370452418' post='2101179'] Cool, Revolver's sounding good so far. How many albums did they make? Sod it, I can find that out myself.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1370452929' post='2101197'] Funny innit, I've only heard of two songs on the Revolver album [/quote] You will recognise more, I'm sure.......if not then where have you been all your life?

Wasn't Yellow Submarine actually called The Magical Mystery Tour or did I dream that? Edit: No that is another album altogether - my copy got soaked in cat piss and still stinks

I'd say any of Abbey road, Revolver, Rubber Soul, Sgt Pepper - they're all much of a muchness,,,,,,or any album by Oasis . HTH

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1370436701' post='2100784'] There was also the alternative to buying a mass-produced bass or even getting one made especially for you – a beautiful, highly personalised instrument, lovingly built by its owner from Warmoth parts. [/quote] that was me.

We could get around 300 in London, we got >150 in Watford a couple of years ago....I wonder if people would make the trek to Hatfield?

Melodyne Editor - can't fault it

[quote name='GuitarTart' timestamp='1370271557' post='2098369'] Twigman, I'm going to be tearing off the Cleartone "treated" strings that came on my new fretless. The "treatment" seems to consist of a thin layer of black stuff that came off on my fingers in the first week of playing. I'm thinking of half rounds as a way of reducing string whistle while still keeping a degree of sharpness. I've never used half rounds on a fretless before and wondered what make you used that impressed you so much. Myk [/quote] I am using d'Addarrio ENR71 - light gauge half rounds - i am using them on a fretted bass.

I am going the other way. I've used flats for over 20 years. (EB custom & d'Addario Xl Chromes).. Just last month though I was struggling recording a piece that used some chords. The flats sounded messy and mushy...so I tried some half rounds....what a revelation! They feel close to flats (maybe a little rougher) but the notes in the chords were distinct and cut through..... I am a convert to half rounds!

[quote name='Blademan_98' timestamp='1310757858' post='1305124'] Did this come from an uncles loft? [/quote] Werthers' original?

[quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1370191319' post='2097388'] Where are the pics Twigs? Or is it just my system over here that aint showing them? [/quote] Errr I can see them

3) Graffitti Yellow Warmoth P - Jazz neck/Babicz bridge/ P retro assembled by me

2) Charger Green Warmoth PJ - Jazz neck Gotoh 201 bridge made it myself

Taken some photos while the suns out of my precisions. 1) Fiesta Red 1983 Squier JV precision - totally standard owned from new.

I was there...eventually. Good to put some faces to screen names.

[quote name='ironside1966' timestamp='1370031817' post='2095909'] I found that cutting the lower frequencies to even out the tone worked best for me. There is always a temptation to boost the fundamental of the sound but boosting around the second and third harmonic can give better results, put simply try boosting around the second to third octave, it is important judge the EQ changers as part of a mix and not in isolation. [/quote] I hardly ever (never?) boost - always cut....when I said I focussed on the highs I meant I cut all the lows.....

Why would there be a problem? Posts like this often get me asking 'what are they thinking?'

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1369992073' post='2095222'] If you feel pressured to be the fall guy for paying for thongs, insist on taking all the cut of a gig. [/quote] Perhaps the others are a little shy going in to Ann Summers to buy 5 of them ????

I also might bring my Warmoth PJ and a soldering iron....... I would like a second opinion on how the pickups interact and how I might wire them up to be a little more practical...... Is it worth bringing and will there be anyone there who might be able to diagnose my issues and advise me on how to fix it?

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1369995380' post='2095272'] Also the fact that Nevermind sounded all polished and shiny, rather than the terrifying gutteral screech of brilliance that is Bleach, that didn't help. I am no longer 14 so I don't in reality mind about selling out. But a lot of bands do peak, and then go a bit dull. At the moment, I am being disappointed by Laura marling's new album, which is a bit pony. And some others that I was hoping for more from, Vampire Weekend started well a few years back, and are now unsufferably annoying. Also don't like the new Daft Punk stuff much either, might be some weird switch in my head. I didn't love early Muse, and I don't like them now. So I'm fine with that. [/quote] [quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1369995461' post='2095274'] I agree totally Nige , But, sometimes the draw of a band is in the individuality of it , you feel more in touch with the spirit and music of the band because they are smaller, more attainable and easier to relate to . If a band turns massive , it might just seem that your emotional connection to what you percieved is exponentially diluted amongst all the new followers. The music is still as good , possibly, but you might just not connect with it in the same way , and music is as much about how it makes you feel as how good it sounds . [/quote] Whereas some bands, I believe, seem to get better and better as their popularity grows. The National are one of only 2 bands currently working that I would classify myself as a fan of these days. Their first few albums weren't the greatest ([i]The National / Alligator / Cherry Tree / Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers[/i]) then came [i]Boxer[/i]. (that said many 'fans' cling to the idea that [i]Alligator [/i]is the only album worth listening to.). I thought [i]Boxer[/i] was great, Then [i]High Violet[/i], IMO, blew everything that went before it into the weeds and this new album [i]Trouble Will Find Me[/i] is a masterpiece, IMO.

Anyone got any reggae stems? I fancy doing something a bit dub.....

I might pop along to this....shame my BFB S12T won't be ready for a couple of weeks..... I shall bring my P-retro equipped Warmoth P with a J neck. perhaps folk might be interested in 1) Warmoth stuff or 2) the P-retro - and want to try it..... If I do come it will mainly to put faces to names. - no performances from me Ha Ha
