@Gunsfreddy2003 I was able to subscribe on a computer.

Is that "wet" in the sense of being recorded with a lot of reverb (which I know ECM tends towards), or "wet" in the sense of Molesworth disparaging his classmate Fotherington-Thomas (utterly wet and a weed, etc)? Though it gets the point across either way!

Hi there! I am looking to mod one of my EHX Freeze's to disable the dry sound once the pedal has been activated. Would you be able to recommend any pedal modders out there? Cheers!

I've just taken delivery of this mini 23" scale Harley Benton for my daughter's 4th birthday next month! Hoping to be the proud dad of a bassist! She has wanted a bass of her own for a fair old while now and prefers when I play my basses over my guitars. Just need to tidy the fret ends before we wrap it up as they've sprouted. She's also said that she wants her second bass to be black. I've taught her well already 😂 And it just so happens that I've got a black Squier Jaguar SS stashed away for her too.

Ah, so you saw the singer on the far right. I didnt quite get a view of her most of the night. Yeah, they had so much energy, and seemed genuinely overwhelmed to be there which was nice. Strange place to come all that way for just of the one gig.

Welcome VC.

if it was my company I wouldn't be putting the Fender decal on it until it had been sold and paid for. Then it's not mine and it was sold with no logo Perhaps I'd pop one on after as a favour to the new owner 😁

I'm not surprised.... they never stopped moving! 🤣 I was to the left of the top of the stairs...

I have a PRS Silver Sky that had terrible static problems as soon as the central heating went on. Pick guard and neck were full of loud static which rendered it totally unplayable. i tried all sorts of stuff, including commercial anti static sprays, diluted fabric conditioner etc. all they did was leave some degree of residue on the guitar which worked for about 5 minutes. in the end i took the neck off and place a single piece of silver foil in the neck pocket, to which I soldered (tricky but possible) a ground wire that went to one of the ground wires, any one will do. I made certain that the neck screws contacted the silver foil when reassembling so that the neck plate and therefore the surface of the neck were grounded. This solved the neck problem. I did the same for the scratchplate, rather than shielding the whole thing which can be bad for tone, i did strips making sure the pickup adjusting screws and rear of scratch plate were connected then wired that to ground. sometimes I get the odd crackle now and again still from the scratchplate, when this happens I rub the scratchplate with a fabric conditioner tumble drier dry sheet, and that solves what the earthing cannot for a long time. strange because I had another Silver Sky with a maple neck and fingerboard rather than rosewood and a satin finish on neck not gloss, and it never had the same problems. if you get caught out on a gig, a bit of spit rubbed on the area of the scratchplate that is static will work for a while. good luck.

In both directions it would seem! Drummers it's time for payback! PS it's a good little BBC article. To summarise it, if I may: folk don't seem to mind AI being used to entertain, but they don't want "slop" filling up their threads. (For me that applies as much to original human slop as it does to AI slop). And they do mind deception and something being passed off as authentic/real/original when it's not. Amen to that.

Indeed... Though I know hifi buffs who reject entire genres of music because it's not recorded in a sufficiently high fidelity way. As a result when you go to shows you tend to hear mainly wet ECM (or worse!) type jazz, or breathy female vocal stuff - it's mainly about listening to the soundstage, or bass extension, or air'n'space and "inky black silences". It's the hifi they're into, not the music! * *Though I'm a fine one to talk, I happened to look up my power amp recently and they're £13k now!!!

Yeah, I thought it funny when the girls said their bodies couldn't take any more songs 😀 Where were you standing? We were to the left (looking at the stage) of the mixer.

Surely that's a minefield, as it has now been sold (which was illegal) but is now owned (which is legal) as the process of forming a contract of sale has been completed.

@rwillett I have a Gnome i Pro. I wonder if we can work something out here?

I was there too! It was fantastic! Such great, energetic performers.... Many a band could learn a thing or two from them about live performance!

Using the effects return in many amps will defeat the amp's master volume control. Our Deluxe pedals have no global master volume control so it will be necessary to edit the Level for each preset and immediately save it. If that doesn't work for you I would suggest plugging it into the front input of the amp and set your amp for an undistorted clean and neutral sound.

Well I'll be bringing two I have also worked out how to biamp them (if only I had another Warwick Gnome to use). Rob

I just saw a clip and she says she wrote favourite mistake on the bass, lovely tasteful part too. I think many of her band have been around with her for a long time and like her play most instruments, I do wonder who plays what on the records but I wouldn't be surprised if everyone does a bit of everything.

Yes! It’s still slightly outside my planning window at the moment but I’m watching the topic and will confirm or deny when able. I wonder how many BC 8" cabs we can assemble in one place?

Obviously im comparing an Apple to a Bowel of marks and sparks fruit .... but i've previously A/B it against the pitchshifter in my Anagram .. Its quite bad ...
