The Beachcombers was on after school. When I first saw logs in the Fraser river there was a jolt of Beachcombers nostalgia.
The access television duo is the sort of ensemble which used to play at functions my grand parents would attend - another jolt of nostalgia (didn't say it was a pleasant jolt).
Watched all of the clickety clackety s&p wankery -- with headphones for proper bass -- and to be sure, all those blokes are very 'satisfied' at the end. Might have to listen to James Brown all day to make myself feel better.

Can you please be a little clearer about what you think? Don't be shy.Depression??? A soft economic climate causes "depression". A poor sense of self worth causes "depression". A chemical imbalance in the brain causes "depression". Hell... a three legged puppy may even cause "depression". THIS is something else! THIS is whatever is just beyond depression's horizon, and beneath it's surface. One step closer to the edge, and we would be in "A Clockwork Orange" territory! THIS sick twisted abomination, is the icepick slowly being inserted into the eye of depression! My advice? RUN!!! Run away and don't look back!

You got it! Congratulations! On to the next quest - a 370 to power it and part the heathen.
I like to leave a little bit to the imagination
Thanks! There's a little family story about the wagon a few pages back.Maaaaaaan... that wagon is off the charts cool!!!
Thanks! Current quest is to get it working.
Do I really win?, do I?. I need saving Dude.Ok, you win! I couldn't even make it half way through the video.
. You did not see it all so I give you the win. Our family member @MCF however watched it in its entirety..........during a hangover!. Thats a serious testament to ones mental strength. That deserves a championship trophy.

OMG that wagon drooldrooldrool
With all due respect, one of the best things you can do for a hangover is try to sleep it off. And that video was boring enough to knock anyone out. Little old grey haired ladies playing 100 year old songs on keyboards in a retirement home while passing a microphone around in some sort of octagenarian karaoke mating ritual was enough to put me right out. I'm just glad I didn't have any sharp objects handy, otherwise my rapid descent to unconsciousness may have been permanent.Do I really win?, do I?. I need saving Dude.
You know, I am finding myself in the GP threads less and less every day. I just inadvertently wandered into a sandbox scuffle between several kids about exposed pole vs covered pole pickups. My goodness, the trifles that consume bandwidth when you Have nothing substantive to discuss are amazing. Of course, after reading a couple of pages I felt compelled to interject some common sense into the discussion.
I doubt it will make any difference. If there's one thing that can be said about the GP on TB it's that many of those members have brains like Sakrete - all mixed up and permanently set.

Yes, I saw it too and after reading a few pages, felt compelled to leave the thread and return here.
As threatened, a comparison between a $USD45 pup and a $USD180 pup (not necessarily in that order). The difference through the amp is much more apparent.
I wish I could relax more when recording, but at the moment the process completely psyches me out. I'd have a couple of beers to loosen me up but it was 0800, which is early even for me.
I was going to do a clanky SVT emulation as well, but the cats started throwing books onto the VT Bass DI. These then are direct into the PreSonus AudioBox iTwo and GarageBand, all settings exactly the same. Fresh Ken Smith Bass Burners on both basses, pickups set at the same distance from the strings.

Very nice, great bass playing too. Have I heard this somewhere else once before?. Its got a natural gravitational pull about it, kind of draws me in like Ive been there before. Know what I mean?. And I give extra points for running time.
Yes, I boggle at the dexterity and skill that I do not posess.
What drives me nuts is when you watch a demonstration of a bass, supposedly in order to sell the things, and it's all about slappin & tappin & poppin. That gives me zero, nuthin.
I want fingers and picks of recognisable, iconic?, basslines so I get an idea of yes/no/maybe for that bass and its sound. Edit: not necessarily that, but something musical/melodic please.
PS I do enjoy tapping etc in videos of a bass cover of a song. It's not relevant to my limited skill set but I do enjoy them.

SO MUCH plate on top of the double tracking on the guitars -- someone stop the jangling!
Thinking about relocating the strap button on the Greco to the neck heel. Pulled out the Zebrabird today and realized what a far more comfortable position it hangs in on the strap, and I think that might be due to the button at the heel. Thoughts?
Heel. The only way to travel.
Not even tempting mate.On behalf of those of us that live in the Calabasas area, we'll gladly give you a years supply of fresh eggs if you just take Bieber back.
