  1. [quote name='Born 2B Mild' post='360991' date='Dec 22 2008, 02:11 PM']I've got an EX112 and an HT112. Both 300w 8ohms, about 17 kilos each. Fantastic for portability, clarity and transparency. HiFi speakers for the stage, basically.

    I want to keep one, but don't mind which, as the tweeter is not working on the HT112, and nor is it missed AT ALL.

    The only way I'd let both go is if I end up with some cash and a lightweight cab (like a 1x10), or a lightweight cab and a 1x15 (preferably Eden).

    I'll be using them at a gig at Guiseley on Saturday 27th December, if that's of any use.[/quote]

    Woah!!!!! Small world. I live in guiseley where are you playing? :) Is it coopers? or maybe the station?

    +1 There got to be a balance of natural talent/hard graft

    as to where the line lies between these two it would depend on the individual

    also sometimes an amazing amount of natural talent can work against people, gazza and marradona never practiced in the last 10 years of their career simply because they didn't feel they needed to

    I don't think Liniker went to many training sessions either

    I appologise for the footballing examples but I don't really know how often people like wooten/stanley clarke practice

There is no excuse for being disrespectful or thoughtless when it comes to posting on a public forum. We welcome all on here and as I have said already, it only takes a minority to spoil it for others by not thinking before they post.

    Unfortunately for the moderating team, it makes us busy, when we'd rather be playing bass too.

    The moderating team do discuss such topics together in order to make this forum a nice place. It's the best bass one around, I think.[/quote]

    +1 Basschat is the best forum ive ever been a part of, also the only one. But I did see the background on talkbass once and ours looked much more erm... better

  4. [quote name='paul, the' post='117275' date='Jan 9 2008, 06:15 PM']I like it when people are being themselves. Some women are crude too. Post a six-pack on a girly forum and look at them swarm.

    I'm jealous; I wish I wasn't so inhibited.


    We're not all mild-mannered bassists. Trying to restrict others is a horrible way to deal with it, in my opinion.


    I've yet to see malice. Not from the accused anyway...[/quote]

    I like this idea that people can be or not be "themselves" if people aren't being themselves then who are they being???

    and if someone is not being themselves and they start being me then can I still be me or do I have to be someone else???

    and if so can I be JK and challenbge big beef to a beret wearing robot dance off :)
