There are 3 types of minor scales, Natural, Melodic, Harmonic. (thats just a confusion waiting to happen)

[/indent] [indent]Does Santa know about this? [/indent] [indent]Where were the UEW (Union [i]of [/i]Elfognomic Workers) when this law was being passed.?[/indent]

So what your saying is its not possible to get a family member to buy it for you then send it you as a christmas pressie or somesuch. Would you still have to pay duty on this?

A bass has 4 strings. What you've got there is a [b]sitar[/b]

[size=3]And I thought [i]I[/i] was the Sherlockian on this forum [/size]

[quote name='chris_b' post='1012504' date='Nov 4 2010, 08:04 PM']Bands are playing much louder than they ever did so £165 is money very well spent.[/quote] Not if one falls out your ear 2 minutes into the gig, as your leaping around, and is pounded into a million pieces.

[quote name='Sean' post='1007750' date='Oct 31 2010, 07:53 PM']I emailed the editor and told him about it! Also mentioned that the photos they used are of a BB2024x - you can clearly see the difference in body shape and the "CRAFTED IN JAPAN" on the headstock as well as the dead giveaway, "BB2024X". Surely someone should pick up on this stuff; a bass weighing nearly two stone!! Even someone manly enough to own a 400+ and a 1516 would balk at that kinda weight![/quote] I have just checked they are the [b]exact same pics [/b]that they used for the BB2024X bass test which they did back in January. I thought they looked familliar. Makes you wonder if they really did do a product test at all ?? ps: the weight of that one is marked as 4Kg 8.8 Lb

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' post='1010677' date='Nov 3 2010, 01:00 PM']In answer to your other question yes they used parts in the original Mu-Tron which I think are illegal now and apparently it is that that makes all of the difference.[/quote] Illegal !! WTF did they use Plutonium or something ?? ps: click on this to see: [url="http://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/1759/#15188"]Emulating the Original Mu-Tron III using the EHX Enigma[/url]

[quote name='cheddatom' post='1012285' date='Nov 4 2010, 04:52 PM']Seriously?!?! That's so cool. Did you take any pics?[/quote] Wont be happening anymore though. He moved from Teignmouth i think. His house was up for sale when i was there in the summer. Said 'by appointment only' on the for sale sign though, or i might have gone and knocked and pretended to be an excentric millionaire or lottery winner.

[quote name='dood' post='1003768' date='Oct 28 2010, 01:04 PM']Infact, with decent earplugs in (like ERs) - I've been to a few gigs where you could hear how rubbish the PA mix actually was when the volume isn't tearing your ears to pieces! - I always wear my plugs at gigs, unless of course the volume isn't a problem![/quote] Interesting. Never even considered it till now. Those ACS ER things bloody expensive though. £165 and they look so easily loosable, shouldnt they have a string on them, so they dont fall out and be stomped in the moshpit (or whatever stokes your boiler)

Im sure nobody would think of playing live without amplification. Acoustic bass are notorious for their lack of decibels. But what are they like to actually play. Heres a youtube i found. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hafiXI40_JY&feature=related"]Youtube link (guy talks in german)[/url]

Has anyone here actually played the Fender Kingman SCE acoustic ? I know the thread started has, but i am looking for a more thorough ponder. (As is he) (What a great looker though eh?) [attachment=63043:Fender_K...Bass_SCE.jpg]

[quote name='webby' post='1010825' date='Nov 3 2010, 02:25 PM']Hi, Browsing through the forum I see lots of lovely images posted, especially in the for sale section. However, a lot of these images are tiny attachments which need clicking on to see at full size. The thing is, these images are very large (if you haven't compressed them) so every time you click an image you are downloading quite a large file. You'll know this by the time it takes to load the picture. I feel that this is a bit un-user friendly. Many folks have download limits, plus it's not a great way to view the images. If I wanna view a whole set, I have to open each one, view it, close it, open the next and so on. It's better to embed the images into the post isn't it? Or, upload to a photo library site such as flickr, or Picasa where images can be viewed as a set. Is this discussed anywhere on the forum? Thoughts?[/quote] I [i]think[/i] (im not sure) that embedding full size images in the post causes more bandwidth than the little pics to click on. (especially in these days with all the high defintion digital images) If you open a thread, then every page of posts with full size images in them has to be downloaded everytime, this causes both the Forum server and forum users to use more bandwidth. This is espcially true with popular threads, if for instance a thread gets high in a google listing. For whatever reason With the little pics, that are uploaded to the forum, they are opened in full only if you click on them, and you only do this if you wish to see them in detail. PS: not sure this is the right forum section to discuss this. Be prepared to have a Moderator move it somewhere more appropriate.

So far as my strumming hand is concerned, If i try to play with fingers then any length of nail sticking out causes a 'click' They have to be filed right down.

[quote name='dood' post='1010551' date='Nov 3 2010, 11:22 AM']OH GOOD GRIEF!!! Yes, it's down yet again! - next time it's up I'll copy the page I think, just in case we lose it for good ha ha!![/quote] I have a copy of the page if you need it. Luckily i had gone out and left several Tabs open on my browser and one of them was that page.

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' post='1010298' date='Nov 3 2010, 06:24 AM']Really hope so - will post some thoughts when it arrives.[/quote] Been after one of these for nearly the whole time i have had my bass. So many iconic records have had that sound on them. They are just too expensive, for poor old me (sob!) PS: I hope its as good as your expecting it to be, if not better.

Just received it this morning. So who's next on the list. This was [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=99050"][b]Old Git's [/b][/url]book. it'd be nice if we could keep this recycling for years in his memory. Whoever gets it next remember to sign the paper list inserted in the inside cover. Lets get another list going to receive the book. Ok a new list started, ill edit it as needed.: 1. bartleby 2. tauzero 3. ead 4 farmer61

Which Ric copies would (in the opinion of those out there who have tried them) is the nearest to an original.

I dunno. Six strings, seven strings, Chapman sticks, [i]and [/i]headless as well!!! What are we gonna do with you ( )

[quote name='Low End Bee' post='1009028' date='Nov 1 2010, 09:31 PM']Good stuff. Had Chris Payne of the Members gassing for one after we shared it last gig. The 40db attenuator is a must at only a fiver.[/quote] a forty db attenuator? Wouldnt that reduce the power to one ten thousandth ? A four db attenuator would reduce it to approx one third of its original power. Unless i have it completely back to front? Its been nearly a decade since I skimmed elctronics at college.

For my money a nice new bass with shiny paint job to match looks great. There is nothing wrong with it looking new, its almost as if some are embaressed of owning a new bass. I understand the[i] pays your money and makes your choice [/i]argument. Its the choice of ruining a good finish i dont comprehend. (As [b]Simon1964[/b] mentions)The Sandbergs are the only ones i have seen that look believable. Thats only from pics though. I cant recal seeing one close up.

I'll throw my hat straight into the ring with this. [b]What on earth are people playing at [/b]when they plump for buying a bass (or guitar for that matter) that has been given a relic finish. Those sanded away areas are such a give away. Its not as if anyone who knows anything about them will be fooled for a minute. But even if it was given one of those proffessional time consuming relic job, where all the other little bumps scratches, dings, rust, belt buckle marks, and minute scratches, etc is labouriously put in. What is the point.? Even with so called custom tribute jobs where a bass is taken and copied to the Nth degree right down to the wear and scratches. Whay bother? The owner of the original bass never bought it like that, and if someone had told him/her that X years down the line someone would copy it to that degree. Im sure they'd have found it highly amusing, if not ridiculous. I mean really. What is the point. Opinions please....
