Cultural appropriation and covers
DF Shortscale replied to DF Shortscale's topic in General Discussion
I can confirm I am not a Russian bot, but I do find it interesting that there is still no clear consensus this many pages in. It shows that the answer is clearly not as straightforward as you might hope. It’s good to discuss these things. -

Apparently Johnny Marr had a bit of a scare this week with UPS and his guitars. -
I have a sneaking suspicion that these kind of threads are started by Russian bots, now that the Kremlin has decided to further undermine NATO by sewing the seeds of cultural conflict amongst its' bass players. We seem to fall for it every time, me included. Getting back to the O.P, I wouldn't play Fela Kuti covers because I don't like that music played by Fela Kuti, let alone anyone else especially me. But if for whatever reason I did fancy having a go I would, wearing whatever ethnic-inspired outfit I felt like wearing and other folks would be free to like it or lump it. The whole thing is ridiculous. If Slade came out today Noddy Holder would be accused of culturally appropriating a garden gnome. Whatever oppressed peoples in the world anyone is being offended on behalf of, they are unlikely to be further harmed by someone playing their popular music, probably badly. No Biafrans will be napalmed as a result of your dalliance with afro beat. These bourgeois anxieties are a symptom of having too much time to think up things to think about.

Why am I struggling to make bass sound good through PA?
Bill Fitzmaurice replied to mrtcat's topic in PA set up and use
PA subs go as much as an octave lower than bass cabs, while PA mains don't have the rising midrange typical of bass cabs. Try high passing the desk bass channel at 60 to 80Hz, if it has that capability, or cutting back on the bass EQ if it doesn't, while boosting the mids in the 2 to 2.5kHz range. If you want to be more precise get this app for your phone. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dom.audioanalyzer&hl=en_US&pli=1 You can use it to see the frequency response of your rig. Play an open A and take a picture of the result, C weighting, slow response. Save it and compare it to the same test through the PA. Comparing the two will show where the PA EQ needs to be adjusted. -

As per the title, I used to be able to upload any photo and multiple photos in posts but recently I am getting file exceeds xxxx kb error messages when I never did before. Has the site changed its policy in regards file uploads?

This was on my board for a few years, never let me down but just fancied a change so I’ve got a boss chorus on the board now. The toneprint options make it a pretty versatile pedal, found myself mostly using the Duff McKagan toneprint. No original box for this unfortunately but will be packaged securely. Price includes postage in the UK, cheers

What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...

Agreed. If you look at high end violins, on which the flamed maple arched backs are hand carved and (almost invariably) book-matched, you'll see exactly the same -

I would recommend this unit too. I have one and it's very easy to use, works like a selection of stomp boxes if you leave it in manual mode, no need to hook it up to a computer to unleash its potential. There's one for sale on here right now for a good price too.

Well enjoy the Musk Reform alliance. The right wing have the backing and the numbers. I just hope that people don’t fall for it and can put their differences aside. I don’t believe any billionaires or tech giants have my interest at heart. Back in the day they just asset stripped companies. They now have their sights set on entire countries and are using every trick in the book to achieve their goals (including divide and conquer). Personally I am making plans to vacate if it happens. Anyhow it’s going off track so I will bow out
