    It was one of those underwater data centers... and somebody made the mistake of opening Windows.

    Nice - I particularly love the fretboard. Is that ebony? I love solid black fingerboards.

    Shh. It's BigBeefChief... but don't let on.

    Pictures just in from outside Talkbass HQ.

    It depends if they have ponied up to have presence across multiple data centers. Such distributions, especially where a database is involved, can get very costly, very quickly. And these costs are usually preferred to be profit in the site owners pockets... because you know, computer stuff never goes wrong.

    I know you’re a competent player so I’m not directing this at you - but as somebody who books players, the one that gets to the gig on time, learns the parts, doesn’t get whizzed etc would get the job over somebody with sounds. I’d book a keys player for sounds though - defo.

    Defo. And the interface of TB is just ugh.
  11. EBS_freak
    Wasn't a criticism.

    Corrected for you. I think you think too much of yourself if you think I'm gonna spend more than the 30 seconds it took to find out all I needed to know. Theatre (West End or not) <> Stadiums/Arena. Get a grip and get your flex game in check.
  13. EBS_freak
    Yeah - but nobody has ever complained at a wedding because the bass player didn't play I Wanna Dance With Somebody or Uptown Funk on a Moog.
  14. EBS_freak
    Can you really call Nikki Sixx a bass player? I mean, he holds one... but...
  15. EBS_freak
    For a wedding gig, Im wondering this too.
  16. EBS_freak
    So theatres, then.
  17. EBS_freak
    Nah, it's a flex. You've come onto a bass forum, had your post ripped to shreds and attempt to elevate yourself by talking of the venue sizes that you are reputedly playing at. Flex. If it wasn't a flex, you wouldn't need to state such things. You do know that anybody can google your name, and derive the required to raise an eyebrow? Anyway...

    It's kinda compulsive viewing... but all whilst being slightly awks.
  19. EBS_freak
    This is true. Next time there's a BF thread, check in.
  20. EBS_freak
    You aren't looking hard enough.
  21. EBS_freak
    Is that a flex? That's a flex, right? Yeah, attempted flex.

    Umm, I don't want to be the A hole here... but this is somebody's wedding day. If you don't know what you are doing, it's only fair that you have a dry run and get all this stuff sorted before you even attempt to play a wedding. It's not fair on yourself - as setting up and sound checking is a big enough stress as it is - and it's certainly not fair on the bridal party who I presume are picking up your bill. If you are using fx, chances are, there will be variances in gain that will impact your levels. All this needs to be sorted out before the gig. There's no wedding gig that requires fx on bass... so if there's a chance you'll muck it up, don't run fx until you have had the opportunity to rehearse and do the necessary prep using the fx. Setting levels at home doesn't work - you need to do your setting at gig volumes.

    Interesting. Tell the truth now... you de-fretted it didn't you? Cheap bass that you wanted to make a fretless out of? What you should have done, is reshoot the neck, refret, stone the frets, crown and polish - and show how you can take ANY neck and make it boss (as long as the truss rod is sound, theres enough meat on the fretboard and the neck itself isn't twisted). Oh and a new nut for good measure. Presumably you have still got the neck - so it would make for good Youtube fodder. If you learn how to do a decent fret dress, you can make your 100 quid plank play like a million dollars. Still, if it makes you happy, job done.

    Anyway, any pictures of this neck?
