The Trace Elliot pre shape sound is one of my least favourite amp sounds of all time. Never understood why it was so popular. I really don't like Smiley Face graphic settings in general though.

I've not heard much Keane stuff but I remember seeing them on TV at some huge concert (maybe Live 8?) & thinking they were bloody great live.

7/8. I'm also partial to a nice 3/4.

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1478025550' post='3166149'] I did give some thought to the pickups being too high and dropped the bridge unit a couple of mm, bit to no effect. There's a pack of Elixir Nanowebs incoming, so I'll swap them over when they arrive. The old set of Elixirs were on for nearly a year and the only reason I changed them was the E was getting dull...the rest were OK. I did a bit of searching online and found a thread on Talkbass where a guy had the same issue with a set of DRs. I just don't get how a string can be dodgy, let alone two in the same set. Hopefully, when the new set arrives, problem will go away. I'm kind of done with Dunlops now. You get what you p(l)ay for, I suppose. [/quote] I've had whole packs of DRs that were completely f***ed from the outset, bass strings & acoustic guitar strings. I stopped using them because I had so many duff sets, the acoustic strings especially. Absolute garbage considering how much they cost. Went over to Newtone strings for bass & acoustic & haven't had a problem since.

The song. Most of the stuff I listen too doesn't even have bass on it.

It's a Hondo.

I was in an originals band once where I used to play the theme from Steptoe & Son as the intro to one of their songs.

Look at the state of those strings!

They get lots of great reviews. The 200 watts is peak power though, the RMS is a lot lower.

The shape looks quite a lot like Queensryche's "Triryche" logo.

My bass. I've never been that interested in amps, so long as I can hear myself & it doesn't sound totally sh*te I'm OK.

Jacques Meistersinger.

I've been playing for 36+ years & still have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.

Very nice, great basses.

If you like the bass & it'll get used then why not?

My worth as a musician is the same as it is in every other aspect of my life - f*** all.

I was in Manchester for a conference yesterday & today. Went to The Band On The Wall last night to see The Tim Garland Electric Quartet - great gig & a great little venue.

I'd like to have been either an excellent songwriter or an excellent pianist.

Discreet uses a cajon bag to carry his One 10, as I'm sure do many others. Here's a link to his thread about the cab - the cajon stuff starts on page 4 at post #112 if you can't be arsed reading the whole thread... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/284370-ncd-barefaced-one10-review/page__st__90

I'm not sure what you are asking. A zero fret is just another fret close to the nut, you couldn't alter the string spacing with one. If you just want to replace the nut with one cut for a different spacing then whether the neck has a zero fret or not shouldn't make any difference.

They sound sh*te on electric.

My Levinson Blade B4 bass had an active circuit with a tone control that worked like a more traditional passive tone control. It was actually a low pass filter so it gradually cut the highs without getting muddy.
