    Very often Stewart Lee is a prize twat, and I'd rather eat my own liver than watch his TV show, but christ he was bang on the money with that quote. Yes, PC does go mad sometimes, but only at its extremes. The likes of the Daily Mail would have you believe that [i]everything[/i] about PC is wrong and evil and designed to turn the so-called white middle classes into oppressed minorities. Utter bollocks. At heart, it is a good thing... it's just that some people don't know when to stop. I'm old enough to remember when the Race Relations Act was first discussed and then introduced in the mid 70s. Incredibly, it was coloquially referred to at the time as the 'N*ggers W*gs and C**ns act' -- such were national attitudes then, even within certain sections of the media. Imagine if absolutely no forms of PC existed, no anti-prejudice legislation or race relations legislation, nothing. Imagine that? the BNP can.

    [quote name='readonly' post='727351' date='Jan 28 2010, 10:34 AM']I would rather look at a girls m*nge than a bass. Sorry.[/quote] Good for you. There are hundreds of sites that will help you out with that. This isn't one of them. Sorry.

    Ask yourselves a simple question... how far would any of this sh*t have got on Talkbass.com? You think it's overly-PC here, that people jump at nothing and have no, ahem, 'sense of humour' here? Try a MILF thread over there and see what happens.

    [quote name='thedontcarebear' post='725517' date='Jan 26 2010, 06:00 PM']I think if someone would genuinely choose bass over their wife, then they need to be seriously looking at their relationship![/quote] I think if someone is given an unreasonable ultimatum, then they need to be seriously looking at their relationship too.

    That is [i]stunning[/i]. One of the few basses I GAS for these days. Whoever you are, Buyer, enjoy it [size=1]you lucky git[/size]

    Lovely bass, shame about the lacquer. Is it just my eyesight, or is that fingerboard disgustingly crud-caked?

    NAFF!

  12. Rich
    I have Nemesis cabs, & I used to use the 2x10 + 1x15 configuration. Then on a whim, I swapped the 2x10 for another 1x15. It sounds [i]loads[/i] better. Obviously 2 x 1x15 might not work for everybody, but personally I've never looked back. Just my 2p.

    The Sei Flamboyant I used to own had a piezo bridge -- with all the treble rolled off the Barts, it did a perfect impression of an Ovation acoustic. It was a great sound. I'm seriously considering fitting a piezo bridge to a future project. [quote name='lemmywinks' post='725008' date='Jan 26 2010, 12:12 PM']I'm no expert and would appreciate verification, but i thought the buffer preamp would come before the volume/blend pot, so the impedance matches the mag pickups before it goes to the output jack?[/quote] That would be my understanding, yes.

    Sold pending the usual.

    Cool just wanted to make sure you ended up with the right article..!
  17. Rich
    Presumably you mean Bass Guitar Magazine, not Bass Player..?

    It's the £100 'venue expenses' that would have annoyed me. If the sustenance wasn't gratis, they should have bloody said so beforehand so you'd have the option of taking it or not. If you're a five-piece band, that'd be [i]*counts on fingers, makes 3 attempts*[/i] £20 each. What a rip.

    I have a work-in-progress SX J bass in a sort of primrosey yellow. You never know, one of these days I might even finish it..! [attachment=41013:SX_girl.JPG]

    And he's put a two space gap between AND and IT. I would never even consider buying anything at all from anyone who didn't know how to use a space bar properly. Disgraceful.
  21. Rich
    I used it as a pre-amp in a rack setup, so I figured it might be best off here with the amps.
  22. Rich
    Primarily a microphone preamp/channel strip, this also makes a superb preamp for bass -- it has a very clean transparent sound, and the compressor is one of the best you'll find at any price. I no longer need an outboard compressor but had intended to keep hold of this unit anyway, a} because it's so bloody good and b} 'just in case' -- but to be honest I need the cash more than I need the kit. So reluctantly, it's got to go. Dosh only, no trades thanks. It's in tip top condition, spent its whole time in my rack. A tiny bit of rash on the bottom and some minor screw fixing marks (see pic) but that's all. A copy of the manual is included. One of these went for [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230423889813&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]£137 on fleaBay[/url] recently, so I reckon mine for [b]£85 posted[/b] must be a bargain. Lots of good review bites [url="http://www.guitar.com.au/effects/rack_units/focusrite/platinum/trakmaster/reviews.html"]here[/url]. [attachment=41000:trak2.JPG] [attachment=40999:trak_1.JPG]

    That Sotheby's catalogue makes fascinating reading. There were some real bargains had there -- Fender lap steel for 480 quid, Modulus 8-string for a grand, and that JG Wal for only 2k..!
  25. Rich
    The woods and the finish on the 5 are the best of the three, but the over-fussy bridge looks totally wrong. I generally love überJazzes, but those particular ones really aren't toasting my crumpet to be honest.
