I hadn't encountered them before, but having looked at some videos, I'd probably leave if they were on somewhere. It's like theme park entertainment, and I'm fairly sure it's not played as fully live as they make out. I feel bad for the rank-and-file members who don'thave much choice once they're here - the ringleaders not so much.

This is what I find. Although our backline could fill the rooms and we'd get told to turn down, having the band turn down a bit and putting just a bit though the PA seems to give a better mix, without really getting any louder (or at least, not too noticeable). Unfortunately, as I pretty much have to do the sound from stage (basically set and forget but I do have the iPad close in case I do need to change something), I dont have our lead guitarist in the PA as he still hasn't got his levels sorted out, nor feedback control), and I dont want to risk that through FOH.

Don't see these very often in lefty aspesaly fretless https://www.fairdealmusic.co.uk/products/1983-jaydee-roadie-supernatural-fretless-used-comm?_pos=2&_sid=89dad1b8a&_ss=r

Great fun. Some nice stuff going on there.

It's probably fine because you're not going to be sending anything confidential, but in general I'd avoid any site that doesn't use https, especially if it has a login (like this one). If you sign up and use a password that's the same (or similar) to one that you use somewhere else then you're leaving yourself open to being hacked on those other, more important, sites.

Going to go out on a limb here and speculate that the case isn't......

I have a Japanese Jazz (a 62 reissue) that I bought new in Denmark St in about 1990 and it's been my sole bass (guitar) ever since. I try other basses from time to time (as well as the usual GAS browsing) but I haven't tried or seen anything that I prefer so I reckon that's it for me. Having said that, if I played more gigs on BG (as opposed to DB) then maybe I'd stretch to a fretless or 5 string.

I've been a bit overwhelmed of late and, whilst trying to bring a little bit of regulation back to my life I thought I'd ask what you're all using to manage your installed plug-ins, of which I have over 1600 apparently! Brands use different installation methods and, whilst I am appreciative of those who have automated install managers, many (including open source) that I find very useful do not. Whilst pondering, I went on a bit of a web search and found this brilliant application called PlugInfo by ThinkerSnacks, that not only lists my installed plugins and their versions but also, unlike Logic's own plugin manager allows for some basic exporting of the data. Although it does a great job of listing plugins and their paths, it can't tell you if the installed items are the current versions. So, I wrote a basic A.I prompt to do the work for me (Nyerrrrrgh!! A.I!! It will take our jobs!!) to use in conjuction with PluginInfo to hopefully make my life a bit easier. TLDR: To create a colour-coded spreadsheet that lists the plugin Name, Publisher, Version, Type, Architecture, Date, Size and Path marking which are up to date, out of date, discontinued or of an unknown status requiring a manual search. Cooking instructions: * Install PluginInfo * Go to the PluginInfo window, CTRL-A to Select All and then either Right-Click and "Copy Full Details" or Edit > Copy Full Details * Then Paste the output in to an excel spreadsheet document (you can use Numbers or your spreadsheet app of choice) and export as a .xlx * Save the file with any name, maybe "Installed Plugins" and the current date for safe keeping. * Go to ChatGPT and Paste the following prompt, upload the new text file at the same time and hit go.. I have a spreadsheet file containing a list of all audio plugins installed on my Mac, including their names, versions, formats (AU, VST, VST3, AAX), manufacturers, and installation paths. Please create a colour-coded Excel spreadsheet with the following structure: Columns for: Name, Publisher, Version, Type, Architectures, Dated, Size and Path to match the existing upload, add a Status column. Formatting and rules: Each plugin entry should be on a new row. The "Status" column should indicate whether the plugin is: ✅ Up to Date (background color: green #00FF00) 🟧 Out of Date (background color: orange #FFA500) 🟥 Discontinued or No Longer Available (background color: red #FF0000) 🟪 Unknown Status (background color: dark purple #6C3483) Use known latest plugin versions and availability to determine the status. If a plugin isn’t in your known reference list, mark it as Unknown Status (🟪, dark purple #6C3483). Each status should use the corresponding emoji and background color in the "Status" column. Output the result as a downloadable .xlsx spreadsheet. I've tried this out on ChatGPT and I got a fairly good colour-coded document back, though I've since updated the prompt and will need to double-check it. I asked Perplexity and I'm still waiting for an answer, Claude.ai doesn't like the file type for upload, so your results may vary - if I actually fancy putting more time in to it, I'll write a details prompt in a file rather than copying this one. Fun times!

There’s definitely no shortage of bass, I’ve had it up to max and it’s even too much for me 😁

I'm guessing that the '70s Antigua pickguards were three-ply w/b/w, then bursted by hand, individually? An initial cream centre, then grey burst around the edges, then scraped back to reveal the 3-ply underneath on the bevel? Maybe clearcoated as well, as they seem to yellow like the bodies.

I dare say you're missing my point.

Correct just turn your phone, tablet or computer up and down to suit. The volume of the device on the nux and boss will increase the instrument and device but then you just nudge it down on the device as well. Its worth noting that the NUX Pro has quite a heavy bass boost on Bluetooth audio going into the device. The new Boss Katana Go is exactly the same as the old one except the volume knob was removed after fender bought all the stock for their Mustang thing. So boss had to redesign and now it has some buttons or a dial on the side. But the rest of the device is the same and both versions are supported and work with the app. I feel I’ve done exceptionally well here selling anyone reading on my NUX MP3 for sale 😇

Not necessarily. Running instruments through the PA in small to medium rooms isn't about volume, it's about dispersion. No matter how loud the drummer plays the higher frequencies will always be coming from his kit and won't fill the room. The same applies to all the instruments. Where levels and balance are concerned leave that to your sound man, because he can hear what's out front, you can't. Most of the time my sound man is me, so the only way I can gauge what's out front is to have that same mix in the monitors. If I didn't have them I'd have nothing to go by. I just high pass them at 150-200Hz to keep the mud out. If you do it right you're unaware of what the PA out front is doing while on stage it sounds just like a good studio session. On the subject of drummers and big monitors, in one of the worst examples I've ever heard the drummer had a 2x18 monitor right next to him so he could feel his kick drum. The trouble was with every kick it fed back though the mains and the ringing boom masked everything else. The sound man was clearly an idiot, having no idea as to what was happening or how to fix it. I left halfway through the show, unable to handle it any longer. Now one could say that wouldn't happen with an experienced drummer who had a clue, but it was Max Weinberg. I'd say it's a safe bet that Bruce's crew does a better job. ☺️
