    There's a smart harmony setting on the Line 6 M5, not tried it out in any great detail though.

    [quote name='binky_bass' timestamp='1348070303' post='1808858'] let me know what you got! [/quote] Small hands. I'm out.

    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1347739154' post='1804568'] how can you trademark a sound? You can patent the circuit that makes that sound if it's special enough - but a specfic tone? sure I can deconstruct that and remake it digitally to make a look-a-like, cos it's not the real thing- it's a digital copy. [/quote] This I'd imagine. You can trademark a fancy rectifier or any number of factors that make up your circuit and open up a competitors amp to see if they're using it, but you can't prove someone's making an digital amp model based on it. As long as they don't use the name directly, they can presumably get away with saying modelled on... amp name here.

    A friend is getting married next year and she's a big ska fan. I thought it might be cool to learn a couple of songs on sax or trumpet but I've got zero experience with either. Does anyone know how hard they are to pick up and whether a year is realistic to learn a few tunes?

    [quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1347385591' post='1800098'] There are loads of threads about this all over the forum already. [/quote] There's also an explanation in the original post....

    Interparcel seems to be the winner so far but that's given me a few options and a couple to avoid.

    I've had a guitar up for sale for a few months and may have a buyer but it would need to be couriered. I've not got much experience with this so can anyone tell me the most reliable and reasonably priced places to go to get quotes from and more importantly, who to avoid like six copies of the Nicki Minaj album with free airborne plague. He's said it needs to be this week hence the new thread rather than trawling through old forum threads. Thanks

    [quote name='charic' timestamp='1343394352' post='1750093'] I grew up on the old Kenneth Baker books (I think...) [/quote] I'm not sure how that's going to help with the piano.

    [quote name='BILL POSTERS' timestamp='1347126525' post='1797262'] Had a quick look on Google Earth, yep its called Swordfish. Assuming its still there of course. [/quote] I'm going to Brum on Wednesday, I'll have a looksie in. Diskery is the opposite direction and I don't have a record player so it doesn't seem worth the trek.

    It's awesome isn't it? It's been linked here before, but I'm going to read it all again anyway. Edit:- I forgot he makes his own PIO capacitors. Crazy but brilliant.

    Not usually a filter fan but that looks really flexible and very interesting. I wonder how the bend setting would cope with a fretless.....

    [quote name='bobbytodd' timestamp='1345974671' post='1783625'] add summer of 69 and brown eyed girl im sick to death of them but our singer insists we do them [/quote] As a guitarist who had to play 'Summer of 69' at a wedding, I found it was really funny to leave a random pause after the drum fill at the start before coming in.
  13. GarethFlatlands
    Wow, 6 pages and I can't see a mention of 'Schism' by Tool. Shame on you all!
  14. GarethFlatlands
    OH KAY!

    Aaages ago there was a really long thread linked to on here where a builder goes through every step of making a jazz bass copy, including pickup winding that was a really interesting and informative read. ..And with a bit of googling, here it is [url="http://www.tdpri.com/forum/tele-home-depot/169606-1960-jazzbass-build.html"]http://www.tdpri.com/forum/tele-home-depot/169606-1960-jazzbass-build.html[/url] Pickup build starts around page 4.

    If only the other stuff I'm selling would go as well...

    Sold pending....

    Sit down, I've got some bad news for you...

    [quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1345049084' post='1772886'] no toolshed? where do you keep your erm, you know.... grumble mags? [/quote] Fixed.

    I bought this 2008 VT1 off Simwells but it's now surplus to requirements. You probably know what they do but just in case, here's some Basschatter reviews (including mine) here:- [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/157469-dha-vt1-std-bass/"]http://basschat.co.u...a-vt1-std-bass/[/url] He kindly gave me a power supply to start me off (it takes 12v centre positive) but it's so noisy I'm not including it in the sale as it's pretty much unusable and it's not worth the extra packing hassle and postage. I never got round to buying a better one as the band I played bass in imploded shortly after and my dirt needs are met elsewhere now. £50 posted (1st class recorded). Thanks Gareth

    Deal on the fuzz! You still on Neill Road and around this weekend?

    Goddamn it, I can feel another walk to Simwells' house coming on for the bargainous flying tomato...

    [quote name='devnulljp' timestamp='1345014870' post='1772239'] Sorry, been away (digging for dinosaurs) [/quote] Find any?

    [quote name='MrFingers' timestamp='1345028999' post='1772466'] Look no further! [url="http://www.fender.com/products/vintage-modified-jaguar"]http://www.fender.co...modified-jaguar[/url] (and they also have a jazzmaster in that series). AMAZING guitars for the value, and perfect for postrock/ambient! [/quote] I have an MIJ Jazzmaster from the late 90's and would recommend them if you want something a bit different, but they are a bit 'out there' in terms of design and functionality. The bridge is ridiculous (the Squiers seem to use a fixed adjustomatic which is miles better) and the pickups are very niche meaning the choice for replacements is limited and expensive. As always with budget guitars, try a lot and get the best one as the quality control will be variable.
