The Cabronita P normally comes with a Fender Fidelitron pickup. That's principally what makes it a Cabronita, plus the small pickguard, and the particular combination of P body, fat 50s neck, Tele headstock and reverse tuners. -
You can't quite get past the feeling that significant proportions of the UK -wing media never gt over that whole "WOAH JEREMY moment a few years ago. They won't be happy until Glasto's closed down, the Eavises are behind bars, every band that ever so much applied to appear has been deported and the entire Worthy Farm site's sold to US fracking companies.

I did contact them but unfortunately as I don't drive they weren't interested I do have transport so it wouldn't be an issue. Annoying as bands local looking for a bassist seen rate as rocking horse poop lol The search goes on

The BBC is to blame for this. They're trying to establish Glastonbury as some sort of quasi religious experience when it's just lots of people enjoying music in a field. If we expect every performer to deliver a generation-defining set, we're all going to be disappointed. But it's still just people playing music in a field which is sometimes great, oftentimes good, and sometimes truly dire.

I think that's exactly what he wanted to do, put on a show. The majority of us here would be really happy if 100 people came to a gig and enjoyed it and wouldn't even think about that being the time to stop, if thousands of people go home happy after your gig still then why stop? If you are bringing joy to people I say carry on if you want.

Yep. I've ended up stripping it down and counting the old 1e+u 2e+u and seeing exactly where the notes fall. Thank you for your post because I was feeling embarrassed at my inability to just listen and play it

Oh my days. **checks down back of sofa for spare liver or kidney** -
Right at the start of his set (well a couple of songs in) I loved Rod taking the jacket off remarking 'it's fukking hot up here'. And the crowd reaction to the end of Nile Rogers/Chic being so much more than Rod got, something about disco being forever popular, old pop less so, perhaps ... 😎

Frank Zappa - Cheaper than Cheap

I'd pre-ordered and received it on physical media before this was announced 🤷♂️. Bit of an unusual move for the ZFT, but I would have bought it anyway. -
Been there! Mid 1990s, me and a friend were renovating a flat I'd bought, on evenings after work. It was winter so we'd left the mains on, confident that a particular wire was not live.

The thing is that it just drives people further away from caring what the media say. Which isn't a good thing in a world full of unmoderated social media junk. Bona fide news organisations at least carried some gravitas whether you agreed with their politics or not. Nowadays it just seems a race to the bottom of clickbait and space-filling chaff.

MXR Phase 90 Script - Price Drop £100 posted

Yes, strictly speaking “The MXR Custom Shop Script Phase 90”. Same circuit, just with LED and power jack. -
I am selling a pair of Shure 315 in-ear headphones in excellent condition. I bought them a while back in Westend DJ in London, but haven't used them all that much. Initially, I bought them to practice bass at home, but never used them to play live. I have used them for a few rehearsals, and they do the job well. They are lightweight, sit nicely, and the cable is sturdy. The sound is mid-focused, making it ideal for vocalists or guitar players. It works for bass as well, just don't expect massive low-end. They will come with all Shure accessories (pouch, extra eartips). I did buy an additional cable with a mic for them, but never tested it. I will also include some extra eartips I have. This is a genuine pair of Shure headphones/IEMs, so buy with confidence. Thanks! Free postage in the UK. -
It's just the usual culture wars/outrage monetisation nonsense that's apparently replaced real news in the social media age.

Building a band system to isolate IEM mixing from venue / engineer
JPJ replied to warwickhunt's topic in PA set up and use
A few more inputs (if you add a stage box) as the x32 has er 32 channels available whereas the XR18 has 16 plus the usual stereo channel hence the ‘18’. You will have a lot more routing options in the x32 but with it a much steeper learning curve. Same with effects, but if you are only using the desk for IEM’s that shouldn’t be an issue. You’re more than welcome to come and have a play with my XR18 if you want before you commit to the x32? -
My radio alarm clock goes off to LBC in the morning and the presenter on breakfast show (I'm not naming them deliberately) was really scathing of the whole thing. Laughing at the average age of attendees being 39, scathing of acts whether they had made political statements or not, etc etc Very odd!
-
The venue. Forgot to mention, it's an easy load in/out as you can back a car up close to the doors which are just out of picture to the right.
-
A couple of the national papers have been churning out social media posts criticising some minor element of this act or that act with a seemingly standard strapline saying “one punter said it was shocking” etc. One punter whinging on twitter does not a news story make. Or at least it shouldn’t. Some of the more right-wing press also seem to have been digging deep to selectively pick out something to dislike. I suspect going along and having a good time is a lot more fun than sitting in an office whinging about it (probably bitter they didn’t get a freebie ticket).

According to the Grauniad, every artist was worthy of five stars. <checks> Tell a lie, Nile Rodgers and Chic got four stars and well-known Enoch Powell fan and Reform supporter Dino Rod only got three.

I guess I didnt realise I liked a coloured tone so much when I started this thread. I still think the NUX is much better as it has amp sims and IR's, but after using them for a few weeks I just missed the colouring I get with the BDDI. I dont go full on with the blend, but that too adds a little bit of something to the sound that appeals to me. I dont use an amp at home so I guess the 'bland' comment could be in relation to that. I really did like it, and think with a bass rig it might have worked, but the BDDI does the underlying tone and the 'something' on top in one box. As did the NUX. I think the other factor to go back to the BDDI was I really didnt want a main powered box. This bugged me a little. Not a deal breaker, but all in, I went with what I know works for me. Maybe it was just GAS after all.

An ambient mic would certainly work and be cheaper but you'd probably have to compromise with how the drums sounded in the monitors. Given my experiences i'd rather have single mic drums than some of the IEM feeds I've experienced. The EAD10 is two ambient mics and the kick drum via a trigger and all the eq etc is sorted for you. Even at an ordinary gig it will probably give you as good as/better than you''d get with a 3 mic set up done in a rush. Talking to drummers they are marmite, some won't touch them and some swear by them. -

I could see Neil Young playing the first Pilton festival alongside Stackridge and the free milk. Rod Stewart, not so much🤔
