    [quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1320956831' post='1433823'] James Lomenzo's Yamaha is pretty nice - you could move a lot of air with that, I reckon. [/quote] Ooh, I like that!!

    He's never come across as arrogant to me. None of them have, they all seem down to earth and genuine guys.

    I'm not after anything for them, a donation to the site is a nice idea though. PM your address and I'll get them in the post today. Cheers

    I've decided to sell my Trace Elliot Quad Chorus. It comes with the original 18v power supply, but the plastic earth pin snapped off it. As it wasn't actually doing anything electrical I just used a small screwdriver to push the tab in the earth socket of an UNPLUGGED extension lead as I plugged it in. Rubber feet have long since disappeared, and there's velcro (hooks) on the bottom. But on the whole it's in good condition. I will include a printed copy of the manual. I should mention the manual says that high output active basses may clip the input. Manual can be found here: [url=http://www.britishaudioservice.com/inst/QCHORUS.PDF]http://www.britishaudioservice.com/inst/QCHORUS.PDF[/url] Looking for around £60 + P&P, but open to offers or trades.

    Opeth

    bartelby replied to dmz's topic in General Discussion

    I went. To be honest Pain of Salvation bored the crap out of me. I could find nothing at all that I liked about them. Opeth were great, but the drum solo was a bit unnecessary. I have to say I was in the mood for a nice loud shouty set so I did find it a bit too mellow. The number of old rockers, who'd wandered in from the cancelled Motorhead gig, who stood around talking loudly p*ssed me off too.. Damnation is my favourite album, then Ghost Reveries.

    I know there are some strange people on here who only like dead, lifeless strings. I'm having a bit of a clear out and found the following: [s]1 set of used Steve Harris sig Rotosounds. Flatwound 50-110 (cut for Fender P)[/s] [s]1 set of used Rotosound 77 Jazz Bass. Flatwound 50-110 (cut for Fender P)[/s] [s]1 set of used Overwater Flatwound. Medium gauge, IIRC (cut for Warwick Corvette)[/s] I might find more as the day goes on. If anyone wants them then give me a shout. Cheers B

    I wish Gibson would do a Mike Watt sig (but leaving the neck pickup in too):

    [quote name='TheRev' timestamp='1320675331' post='1429751'] I have a used set of Helicore hybrids that came of my Eminence EUB and I'll be taking the Thomastik Superflexibles off my DB somewtime this week. Either of those float your boat? [/quote] Either of those sounds interesting. I'll send a PM later. Cheers

    [s]Hi guys, I'm looking for some strings, new or used, to put on my NS Design NXT4. If any one has a set they're willing to sell for around £40 can you give me a shout? cheers[/s] Now got some lovely Helicores thanks to TheRev. Many thanks

    Very poor for us. We had to train a new drummer. So lost a few support opportunities whilst getting him up to speed as well as during the time we were without a drummer. I think we managed about 6 gigs this year... o_O Still, on the up side I got an EB MM Stingray and an Ampeg PF-500.

    As they're kept side by side I'd have chance to grab these two:

    [quote name='gilmour' timestamp='1320246604' post='1424305'] What's the pickup in the neck? [/quote] It's a Dimarzio Model One

    [quote name='Duarte' timestamp='1320060369' post='1421629'] That will work, but you will only hear it from one headphone and there will be terrible latency and distortion/volume issues. Not really an option if you ask me [/quote] Not at all. Run it through Garageband, the bass will be pannable and latency is a non issue as long as you're not running hundreds of effects on it. EDIT: After all recording real instruments is what GB was made for. You can import the backing tracks into GB too.

    Just reviewing some of the video I took at the Supersonic Festival last weekend (Mike Watt, Antilles, Pharaoh Overlord, Electric Wizard and a couple of others). I think I may have found the audio limits to what my little Lumix can cope with.

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1319024704' post='1408961'] Well, just called the depot, and they decided to not put it in a van today. [/quote] You've been blacklisted! That bass has probably been kicked around the depot, thrown into corners and been buried under heavy sh*t, for the last few days.

    [quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1319032715' post='1409112'] I think that one is a different variant, i.e. non Deluxe and non active / passive. [/quote] Yeah, it's a Modern Player. Like I said, I got the wrong page. But that Deluxe Jaguar is growing on me... Damn it!!

    [quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1318977650' post='1408626'] It seems they've made a mistake on the specs of these basses on their website, it says here one bridge Jazz bass pickup and neck Precision... they look both like jazz pickups to me, shame it would have been nice if they were a P/J configuration [/quote] this has the P pickup though: shame is doesn't have all the controls... EDIT: Ignore me, I got the wrong page on the fender website..

    I just use these: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-MADE-3-75-WIDE-BIG-SOFTEE-REAL-LEATHER-GUITAR-STRAP-/200642385542?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2eb737d686#ht_2069wt_766"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-MADE-3-75-WIDE-BIG-SOFTEE-REAL-LEATHER-GUITAR-STRAP-/200642385542?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2eb737d686#ht_2069wt_766[/url] Tried a Mono but suffered from neck dive with it, on my Steve Harris P. Sold the strap got another of the ebay ones and problem solved.

    Currently I have: Bjork - Biophilia & Mastodon - The Hunter on loop Bjork's album is amazing. Mastodon's is slightly underwhelming in comparision.

    [quote name='GarethFlatlands' timestamp='1318334255' post='1400661'] Alembic Dragon Wing bass. I can't bring myself to post a picture. [/quote] Some of the description is bad enough!! [quote] Susan designed the Dragon's Claw peghead to coordinate with the Dragon's Wing body shape. The claw gives the impression of the Dragon extending his reach beyond the limits of the fingerboard, ready to ensnare those elusive notes. The carved bevel on the lower edge of the peghead balances the varied colors of the peghead with those of the body. The Shop Elves were well pleased on that carving day.[/quote]

    [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1318015491' post='1397391'] I'll get a listen to this version after work. She does have one of those voices you either love or hate. Post is a brilliant album (which this is from). My fave bassline to play on it is Army Of Me. It's a bit of a workout (not hard, just tough on my hand position). The notes are Bb, C, Bb, Ab, G, Bb, C. [/quote] I love this version: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQzRFwVFIKU[/media]
