[indent=1]Nice work. Reading in a certain other thread would have you think transferring to a digital medium is an impossibility![/indent] [indent=1]Something wrong about sitting on the bog with your iPad though... [/indent]

PS - I have seen Nigel at shows and I have to say there are as many people impressed as not. Each to their own... it's certainly a skill even if it's not your bag. You only have to look on YouTube to see that there are enough people impressed. I thought it was pretty cool when I first saw it.

[quote name='Rhythmsync' timestamp='1331214027' post='1569504'] I had a Good time at the show and spoke to many many peolpe -including Doug Wimbish- who wanted to know what the hell I was doing.. [/quote] This made me laugh. Doug "Hey man, what are you doing?" Nigel "Yeah, check this out" Doug "OK, perhaps I should have rephrased that. Why?"

Nevermind that... who is this Louise Johnson bird?

Depends on the band. White basses have always looked the best on stage to me. I love woody basses but they just tend to look black on stage.

[sub]Powered cabs are usually configured to power themselves and themselves only and pass a line to another powered cab... as you've found. Can't think of any off the top of my head which will get you what you want... hmm...[/sub]

[quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1331026139' post='1566339'] I think you've still got volume and pickup blend, then a coil tap switch for each pickup. The smaller knobs are Bass, Treble, Parametric EQ1 boost/cut and frequency centre, Parametric EQ2 boost/cut and frequency centre. But I'm not sure which of the smaller knobs controls what. Any other switches control the LEDs plus an additional LED colour selector knob on some basses. Seems a bit over the top to me, although the original semi parametric preamp in the Status basses seemed over complicated at first but is actually really useful. [/quote] Thanks for the clarification. I think I had figured it was something like that... that's a lot of controls on the front of your bass and I'm surprised there are no stacked knobs. I think Rob's done a pretty good job of keeping it neat despite the amount of pots on there! As you say, it may be over the top but I guess there must be some call for it... and if Mr King is using it, no doubt a load of MK fanboys will be getting their orders in! Is the parametric EQ 1 and 2 for each pickup respectively? or two points across the whole summed EQ range? Still, interesting none the less and would be keen to try one out.

650 quid.

[quote name='sbasstraveller' timestamp='1330947791' post='1565040'] Suggestion to the Aministrators of BassChat: have a 'Like/Dislike' button - would add an interesting dimension giving members a simple opportunity of voting on a subject.. Or if FB have a patent on it (being American, I wouldn't put it past them..), an 'Agree/Disagree' [/quote] Hasn't that feature already been and gone?

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1330938423' post='1564865'] * The Status stand was a blast. Lot's of shiny shiny. Paramatrix = Christmas list. [/quote] Ooh. Whats that then? The new parametric eq? Any more details?

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1330892130' post='1564528'] I'm afraid I agree. I just don't understand why Ibanez basses all seem to have that generic sound. It's at great odds with their ergonomic design innovations. What a pity. [/quote] Same pickups, same circuits... it's a given. Shame though, cos I like Japanese basses. Still miss my BBNE2.

[quote name='louisthebass' timestamp='1330936188' post='1564844'] I'm assuming the peeps at BGM are responsible for organising the event? If that is the case, why don't we all email the magazine, and try to work with them to get the issue of the noise resolved as it seems to have been the main bone of contention for the last two years? [/quote] I don't think spamming their email will make any difference. I think they are already aware of the situation and are trying to resolve it. When people are involved however, getting them all to tow the line is near impossible. People say "pull the power" to the stands but if exhibitors can't exhibit their stuff, they just won't bother signing up to what is a very expensive stand. As for the slap thing, it's obviously a very popular thing and everybody who slapping these basses like crazy are visitors to the event and have paid their entrance like everybody else. They may hate finger style and jazzers. Difficult problem to fix. Last year was always going to be like that when the headline was Mark King.

Slapping?? I blame the GB stand. Oh..

Sheisters.

No problems here. Pete bough a UniChorus from me. Paid when he said he would, great comms. All good stuff.

Be careful of the gripper rods snagging your clothes when lifting...

[quote name='markorbit' timestamp='1330480181' post='1558263'] If was called the Classic 250 it would appear to be below TC's Classic 450... Reidmar doesn't have those prejedices. [/quote] EBS has it's own Classic 450...

Going by the wording on the PCB, it looks like this was originally going to be called the Classic 250. Seems like an evolution of the never to reach retail Classic 160 but with an uprated power output.

[quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1329840891' post='1548312'] Yeah, Ernie Ball user here too. The new Dunlop seems to be good as well, but it's MASSIVE... Bespeco are a bit sh*t but I guess if you want to spend as little as possible they'd probably be good enough... [/quote] Yeah, just checked out the website for the Dunlop... does seem nice.

[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1329838885' post='1548258'] Ernie Ball[/quote] This. If you want the best pedals you can get, looks at what the yankee lapsteelers use... things like Goodrich, Shobud, Hilton (the dbs - yum, yum) - pricey, but you can find them used for reasonable money.

Knew I'd heard that name before... [url="http://www.classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/basses/warwickstevenson6string.htm"]http://www.classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/basses/warwickstevenson6string.htm[/url]
