  1. I'm still going to buy it . I agee with most on here that the internet has diminished it's appeal , but I like a physical magazine - especially for the bog .

    I hope the new publishing organisation works out ; and there's one big plus - no more Swans in Flight ads

  2. We've not gigged for a little over a month - we all had a bit of this (I think it's refered to as 'playing "out" ') .

    Not the numbers we normally get - weather probably .

    Tried a new pedal out (Prunes and Custard) , just need to get to grips with it how it sits in the band . Couldn't get a decent sound out of my other fuzzes , so need to spend a bit of time .

    Actually getting a lie in tomorrow (today) , that is going to go past 9am (be a first) .

    Guitarists as per usual , too loud , and faffing with there tuning all the time .

    Bit of a non descript pants gig all in <_<

    Picked up a mini Polytune yesterday and it's fantastic!! The size is amazing, the tracking is so much quicker than my previous DT10 and it looks as cool as you can get. At £65 i think its by far the best tuner out there at the moment for price.

    I don't believe Peterson tuners are worth the hefty price tag, a mixture of a standard tuner and your ear are equally as good IMO.

    Of course if you make a living setting up basses and need the maximum accuracy for intonation or record in the studio every day i'd go for the polytune.
    [/quote]Yep , love mine . Probably the best £65 I've ever spent - how sad am I ?

  4. Hi James , welcome aboard .

    It was me who sent you the link to this , as I said earlier on in this thread , that I couldn't stand this behaviour .

    On the face of it , it looked quite dodgy , and now reading all of this , I now feel somewhat bad writing what I did .

    It has though , given you the chance to explain what happened , and it seems to be a communications issue , and that's all .

    Sorry if I initially caused any ill feeling , but I feel , it's worked out well . As now you've joined the best Bass forum on the planet , and by trading any gear on here - either in or out - you're going to deal with gentlemen of the highest order (most of the time :P ) , and realise where your new home is .

    No hard feelings mate , and welcome again x

  5. Look halfway down this page . It's not one of his main pedals , but could be a custom option .

  6. On my wavelength , mate .

    When I finally get around to selling some gear and buying a headed Status Stealth , these are going to be the 3 colours that I'm going to debate on .
    Don't know what Rob Green will think though , hehe .

    On a similair note (Job Interview) I was asked to Interview for "Forensic Alliance" a good few years back, as a Forensics Technician (Private company does a lot of the "CSI" stuff for the police). They dragged me down to Oxford for a days interview, all whent well till the end of the day, when they announced I was under qualified for the role. Did they not bother to read the CV before dragging me fifty miles and an unpaid days leave from work?


    [/quote]It beggars belief , that a company that specialises in the scrutiny of - data , DNA etc , can't even look at a 2 or 3 page CV .

  8. Drove from Norfolk for a weekend festival on the Isle of Wight , and left my amp at home .
    Borrowed for the first day , but the second day , had to use an old HH MA100 PA head "they found out the back" - not a striking tone from that , hehe .

    When I was a young'n , I forgot my strap , and did the gig sitting down . I wonder if Anthony Jackson saw me play and stole the idea for playing sitting down from me - though I'm less portly than him :P

    Just got my mini polytune. It's so cute! Don't care if it is a downgrade or lacks polyphonic functionailty, this is a tiny little must-have on anyones board. Also for me the clearest in-gig tuning display of any stompy pedal and fast response.
    Did I mention how cute it is?
    [/quote]Used mine for the first time this Saturday , and I agree with all of the above .

    How about the 2012 Ampeg Heritage B-15? Think the UK RRP is £4995. That'll be about £166 per watt. Only 100 made worldwide and probably presold already. Btw, anyone needing a mint Hellborg preamp could do worse than email me and make a decentish offer...
    [/quote]What's the Hellborg like , in relation to the Eden . Thinking of maybe going modular again . How good is the Hellborg ?

  11. Ricky - Iconic look , but does nothing for me .

    Thunderbird - as above .

    Hofner Beatle bass - tried one , and can't see the attration . (unless the look is desirable , ie tibute stuff)

    Alembic Stanley Clarke - superb build , but doesn't even balance right - neck dive badly on the one I tried .

    As mentioned , it's each to their own (as with cars and women etc . )
