  1. Third in the list. Heading for fifth.
  2. Erm, if you want to deaden the sound of new strings, why are you changing them in the first place? Maybe choose strings that are not so bright to start with? Vaseline is petroleum based, so I'm really not sure what sort of effect that might have on finishes etc. but I can't imagine it would be good, otherwise we'd all be using it.
  3. All over mate. Covers band normally plays from Huntingdon up to and around Peterborough, but the Brackets - we'll play anywhere. In Cambridge it's the regular places, The Moon, Portland, Loft, but lots in Peterborough and beyond. Jakobi rings a bell but not a very loud one! Lonestar - I reckon they have loads of bass players! Been up at Wyton tonight infact with them. I'll mention you to them next week.
  4. You've ditched the bass and taken up playing a cathedral organ...? Close I must be, c'mon...
  5. Interesting to pan the bass. I was always taught bass and kick drum down the centre. Not that there's anything wrong with breaking from tradition!
  6. OK I know you posted your thread first
  7. Same one ! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3207&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3207&hl=[/url]
  8. In a live situation I always boost my high mids for my Precisons with SD QPs and cut a little on the low mids
  9. Can you connect it to itunes or other music libraries on your PC to update it with music, and can you drop the bass sounds out (like the Tascam) to play over the top of existing tracks?
  10. What sort of battery life are people getting? I'm experiencing about 5-6 hours for a Sennheiser system which I'm not overly pleased about but no idea if this is normal...
  11. [quote name='ped' post='33941' date='Jul 19 2007, 12:52 AM']It is difficult to advise with action and setup without knowing where you started from and without having a look. Where are you from? I am sure there will be a local Basschatter who will be willing to look at it for you. Ped[/quote] I think Brandon's in the States, Ped. Somewhere like Michigan or Montana or somewhere beginning with M (apologies as I have forgotten) Brandon, your fingerboard is curved not flat, so the middle two strings are quite likely to be raised higher than the outer two to follow the curve. This is quite normal. If you set all your strings to the same height and are setting the E and G strings first, I'm not surprised the A and the D are buzzing. Try raising them so that the distance from the BOTTOM of the string to the TOP of the 17th fret is the same on all strings and then make minor adjustments from there. Steve
  12. Three bands Rich, The Brackets out of Peterborough, Burlesque (!) out of Huntingdon and Bottled Out sort of Cambridge/St Ives based. I'm not at home a lot
  13. [quote name='lonestar' post='33335' date='Jul 17 2007, 10:52 PM']I'm amazed the lockup is still going We used it years ago and it was a tip then. Loads of stories of nicked car hi fi and dodgy substances being dealt in thr car park. Allegedly! Cambridge centre is a sad place for rehearsal spaces. There used to be a small place called Flightpath studios on newmarket Road and that's about it I'm afraid. I've also used the place mentioned above near RAF whyton in the back of beyond; converted packing case type rooms but still better than the lockup. PA and drums quite good. we also used a place called The Warehouse in fulbourn. i now live in saffron Walden and rehearse with my band in either Harlow or Chelmsford. sorry I don't know of anywhere else Good luck![/quote] Yup we use the place in Wyton occasionally too - it's handy as it's central for us, but a bit out of the way for you guys. Have you tried The Portland and Man in the Moon for nights when they've not got bands on?
  14. [quote name='wizbat' post='33194' date='Jul 17 2007, 06:41 PM']Cheers fror that! all logged on and stuff[/quote] Excellent - there are often a few drummers on there!
  15. [quote name='tinyviking' post='33376' date='Jul 18 2007, 12:19 AM']That's bloody typical! two days after I shell out on a new one you go and post a for sale for a Stringray 5! Ye gads verily doth vexes me! (sorry I go all medieval when I'm upset).[/quote] forsooth at that price I am surely in agreement with ye.
  16. [quote name='ste_m3' post='33030' date='Jul 17 2007, 01:37 PM']Yeahhhh! The 810 is on its way! I shall have lots of pictures and a write up when it gets here, hopefully tomorrow![/quote] I am sure you will be gobsmacked! Look forward to it
  17. I'm thinking he uses a SVT4PRO or two, but I could be wrong!!
  18. [url="http://www.peterborough.net/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=1"]http://www.peterborough.net/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=1[/url] Check out this forum...
  19. Andertons and the last UK distributor are run by the same person. Not surprising they got the last lot of stock! I bought a Eden RS410 combo. Bloody brilliant - I've hardly been off the thing and the NC range is just as good.
  20. Rich - have you tried asking on Cambridgebands.com? Normally quite helpful. Are you looking for one in town or outside and does it have to have a PA and gear...?
  21. On the normal Jazz V I think it was post 2004 and the Deluxe switched around 2003 I think...
  22. According to the website specs, your overhang is 100mm. Stranger that they have gone to so much trouble to make the width of all the units the same though...
  23. Muppet

    Too quiet!

    The signal is still not going to be at the right level for you to record usefully with. Assuming you have already increased the 'record level input' on your software then you need some sort of preamp to boost the signal.
  24. [quote name='Cantdosleepy' post='29665' date='Jul 10 2007, 11:45 AM']4) It seems odd that with concert DVDs they don't have an extra feature where you can focus on one player for the show - wouldn't cost much to slap a feature like that on, and the market for 'MUSE in Wembley Special Edition: with extra Disc Featuring Matt Bellamy's fretboard for an hour' would actually be pretty significan, I reckon.[/quote] Sky TV playercam for gigs instead of footie.
