    [quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1342976638' post='1743345'] Unfortunately yes, I think. I'm sure it will all sit much better within the final album. Their Olympic single is growing on me now too. [/quote] Every time I hear that olympic song I have to play myself something from Origin of Symmetry to remind myself how good they used to be.

    I've just bought myself a five stringed wooden necked Energy. Really liking it, but not 100% sold on having five strings instead of my usual four. I've never really got on with fives before (and don't really use the , but I was so desperate to have a Status that I had to have a punt. Hopefully I'll grow into it.

    Looking forward to this, and the possibility of seeing Mr Harris playing live in some smaller venues than usual.

    [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1342473678' post='1735900'] Sorry, I'm smiling, I'm alright an everything, it's just this 'Sticking it to the Man' thing that's all. The MAN is just clever image and and a bunch of business minded people sticking it to YOU while making you think you're sticking it to THEM. Just enjoy the music, man, they have to make some cash, and although we all hate being controlled by our 'leaders', unless you are Sad Lover's & Giants' bassist and therefore invincible, you'll probably find it's best that human beings are controlled to a certain degree, don't you think? [/quote] Oh there are times I really enjoy being controlled, but that's normally on a Wednesday night at my "special" club

    [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1342471905' post='1735862'] Please tell me mate, who's 'the Man' ? Is it the Man who owns the venue? Or the one you pay for the tickets? Or the security company? Or the beer company? Or the beer seller? Or the T-shirt cotton-picking company? Or the T-Shirt printing company? Or the T-Shirt seller? Or the sew on patch company? Or the record company? Or the agent? Or the marketing company? Or the guitar manufacturer, Or the drum manufacturer? Or the cymbal manufacturer? Or the lighting manufacturer? Or the steel company? Or the welding company, Or the cleaning company? Or the potato grower? Or the crisp manufacturer? Or your denim and leather manufacturers? Is it Clarks? Is it Levi Strauss? Is it Iggy Pop? Is it John Lydon? Who the f*** is 'THE MAN'? [/quote] Isn't it all of them . Chill out dude, it's just a turn of phrase. What's with all the hostility? Thought this was a light hearted thread?

    [quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1342468873' post='1735777'] Oh, maybe after this sort of thing happens [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_The_Who_concert_disaster"]http://en.wikipedia....oncert_disaster[/url] [/quote] Granted, that was a very nasty situation, but all I'm saying is that when you look at all the rules that have to be followed to put on a show these days, it kind of takes away from romanticism of rock and roll being about "sticking it to the man". I've always wanted my music life to be an escape from the rules and regulations of everyday life, not an extension of them, but I guess that's just what needs to be done in this day and age to put on an event which is safe for both those working and those attending. And yeah, although I'm not a huge fan of either McCartney or Springsteen, I do think they do it for the music rather than the money. Both are so rich that they would never need to work again, so if they don't need the money, why would they bother? Would McCartney even have been paid for his guest appearance on Saturday?

    [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1342428367' post='1734528'] Why? These are inclusive family events in a public space, they need to be controlled properly, safety and security are important. [/quote] Just because I still like to believe that rock and roll is all about not having to follow the rules. When did music have to get so serious?

    [quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1342359462' post='1733663'] Having been involved in drafting use agreements for major concert venues, you'll find it has a lot less to do with the so-called local "miserable bastards" residents objections to noise than it has to do with concerns for the safety of attendees and working time regulations, for venue custodial and security personnel. Timings are carefully coordinate with local policing provision, and usually set to allow attendees safe and ready access to local public transport routes and hubs in order to leave the area afterwards. Yes, of course, noise pollution is a consideration, but it is by no means the primary consideration. [/quote] And I thought it was all just about rock and roll! I feel that after reading this, a little piece of me has died:[

    New Zoom B3

    silentbob replied to dannybuoy's topic in Effects

    Just noticed that there's already a version 2.0 upgrade to the guitar version of this pedal which allows you to use six effects together by allowing you to scroll the screen, rather than three as before. Anybody know if this will be available on the B3 anytime soon? http://www.zoom.co.jp/products/g3/

    First up is a Crate BT100 I'm putting this up as semi-working, but it's not really as bad as it sounds. On the whole this is a pretty decent sounding amp, the onboard eq gives quite a good range of sounds and it's built like a tank though the downside to this is that it's bloody heavy. It has a built in tuner which I've found works well, and also features a built in octaver which works fine I guess if you're into those types of thing. There is a cd input, headphone out, mute button and a -15db setting. It also has a seperate distortion channel which I've never been able to get to work properly (keeps cutting in and out) and a foot pedal to operate this. Apparently loads of people have had problems the distortion so I guess this is a common fault. Awhile back I started noticing a strange background interferance noise coming from the amp. It happened totally randomly, and would normally disappear after a few minutes. I was never able to find the source of the problem, but the other day the same thing happened on my new amp, so although I can't say for sure, it's possible the problem is actually down to one of my basses/pedals/leads/external source rather than the amp. Because of this I'm asking only £45 for this beauty. Full specs can be found here http://www.crateamps.com/pdf/manuals/BT100_OM.pdf Next is a Fender Rumble 15w. This has a cd input, headphone out and a 3-band eq, but is missing it's kettle lead. Nice and simple little amp. Not mint, but by no means bad condition and worth every penny of the £20 I'm asking for it. More detail here http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/fender-rumble-15-bass-combo-amp Sorry, no posting on these.

    Hi, I tried to upgrade the pick ups in a Squier Standard Jazz once and found when I tried to fit the new ones that they wouldn't go in due to the SSJ having neck and bridge pick ups both the same size. Might be an idea to double check this before buying anything.
