They’ve just had to buy a whole new desk because the old one started doing phantom gain and level changes at random on several channels. So getting some ADDITIONAL cash out of the finance committee right now might er… erm… hopeful! In fact, I’ll bet that the additional functionality of a new desk vs one that’s 10-15 years old may be partly behind the experiment!

I'm winding everything back now and having a clearout of all the stuff I'm unlikely to ever use again. I'm open to sensible offers for any of these - the £900 shown in the listing is for the whole lot, collected. Prices include postage to UK addresses apart from the Take 5 - please PM to discuss collection or delivery options for that. Given that this is a clearout, I'm not really looking for swaps but feel free to let me know if you have anything - to be honest, it's unlikely but you never know! Sequential Take 5 analogue synth - immaculate condition, boxed, upgraded to the latest firmware and patches £750 Zoom R12 portable multitrack recorder - bought to record the band at rehearsal and only used once before the band imploded. Boxed, immaculate £150 Roland VT4 voice transformer - bought when I entertained fantasies of singing backing vox. Again, used just the once and then retired along with the rest of my dreams. £125 UNO drum machine - a great little drum machine, fantastic for giving us a basic beat whenever the drummer failed to make rehearsals. Light usage, boxed and immaculate condition £100 Waldorf Streichfett string synth - surprisingly versatile little synth that does a great job of recreating the sound of 70s string synths. Immaculate, boxed £150 Thanks for looking - if you have any questions or would like photographs, please PM-

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?

I wish I could get my main band in other people's feeds! 😸 Weird coincidence. I'm sure someone who understands algorithms could explain it, but I sure can't! -

Rotary encoders are now common as a replacement for pots in the digital world. They work by indicating whether to increase or decrease the level of a given parameter. For example, they are often used on home cinema systems as control but can also be used to select menu items. Any PA speaker with DSP and a display will incorporate one. They often incorporate a push switch so you push to enter a menu, then rotate to select a menu item. If you want to know whether you are using a pot or a rotary encoder, the best way to tell is that pots have up to 300 degrees rotation before you hit the end stop, a rotary encoder will go round and round a round if you turn it. This picture shows one on an active speaker, The one with the purple blob.

Yes, I made contact with Essex back in 2022 regarding that Status Groove and his price was sky high.

Ha Ha .... i lost a fair bit of weight between my other half designing the rings them being made and ahead of the wedding .. weirdly my hands were affected the most . It's fairly loose if I push it out Ignore johnny dibble .. the ring is safe on my left hand ... but bulky enough that it feels " odd" and affects my left hand dexterity ... probably a mental thing , we do play punk and it could definately go flying off the right finger . Resizing the ring isn't an easy option i the uk it's engraved in latvian inside and out .

I find the Status Groove basses quite interesting. I really enjoy my twin j pickups (in a single casing) in my Warwick Fortress Masterman basses & always wanted to try a Status Groove. If I could find one for 400 quid, I'd be a happy camper 😉

Wow! That’s really, really good for a fiver, especially a ‘Ray. My Mustang weighs the same as that. -
3.7kg by my bathroom scales

Oh I know, what's done is done, just pointing out that it's a bit rum that the pressure to do this was external.

For a project that I didn’t get round to completing. Brand new, unopened in packaging. Would now cost over £500 with import duties. £380 -
Does your mother know is in our set ! Fun song to play and having two female vocalists in my band helps

I got a tier 2 fail for something similar - although went for the more extravagant Swiff wireless IEM than the cheap and cheerful Behringer!

yes, read the first page of the thread. It is much easier than you think

Yeah next level in some cases. It's why I enjoy playing pop, there's often a load of work gone in by people who are anonymous session players but with huge musical knowledge. The best of them do what is right without needing to show off. I've looked at a lot of Abba but their songs do look challenging. I've only managed Does Your Mother Know to date.

no problem with my wedding ring. It probably clanks against the neck but I don't notice A friend of mine caught his wedding at work on something and it took his finger off. I've also caught mine and my finger swelled up and it was quite sore. I keep thinking about putting it round my neck instead of wearing it

Hi. Can you please post a close-up picture of the back of the headstock. What's the width at the nut? Thanks! -
I'm a fascist when it comes to this. So many covers bands waste huge amounts of time at rehearsal by not pre-agreeing an arrangement. It's a bit like sending your bus driver out without deciding where to put the bus stops. I send out a spotify list with a version I think is OK, if people object I'll go with the majority feeling but if someone objects once we get to the rehearsal room it's too late, the rest of us have spent time learning the 'original' from the spotify list. You've let the band down, let yourself down, let your parents down basically it's up to the person who has done an alternate version who will have to adapt. Once we've got the basic song working we will always look at starts and endings and often make decisions about taking bits out or more often adding extra choruses and we may then come up with an own, arrangement. The guitarist and I live close to each other so we've usually met up by this stage to iron out issues. For instance theres a little decending scale in Maria played on bells that I do. I also try and reflect the piano part at the beginning of One Way or Another.

it is really rather magnificent -
I never wore any jewelry until marriage. I lost my wedding ring because it was white gold and irritated so I fiddled with it (nickel allergy). Got a cheap silver band as a replacement, and wore that for 15 years, with no issues. 10 years ago I got a nice silver wedding ring, which is quite wide, and initially it got in the way a bit, but I got used to it. Then at 25 years married I got a long service award ring, next to it, and that also was a bit noticable for a month or so, but after time didn't notice it again. Then my wife got a fancy ring but it was too big and loose on the biggerst her tiny little fingers, but fit on my little finger, so now I have 3 rings. I also recently have put on weight so they were tight for a while. I notice I click them as a tic! Sometimes they hit the fingerboard but in general they have very little impact to my playing though now I am used to them.
