  1. Past hour
  2. How Much Did You Get For Your Soul ? - Pretenders
  3. This ^^ The FBT Vertus was only a suggestion based upon "if it reduced the weight of each individual element as we’re all getting on these days". The Subs are 2x8's not light, but small and portable. The sound overall is really impressive and the kick drum was really nicely rendered by them. The 6x4" columns with four tweeters as well gives you so much more midrange than the 2 or 3" full range speakers you get in the budget sticks. The other option in your price bracket that would avoid a heavy lift would be a couple of smaller conventional point source tops with subs. You don't need 15's with subs. 10's or even 8's will cope with the frequencies above 100Hz but some of the smaller speakers have limited sensitivity so you'd need to watch that.
  4. Evri seem to have improved of late. Our local drivers have always been good, it's been the bit in the middle where Evri let you know that a parcel has disappeared into their cavernous maw and you know it'll be a week before it gets regurgitated that's been the bad bit, and that seems to have speeded up of late.
  5. Yes, fascinating . Ringo... best actor, best dancer, given the 'intellectual' lines and spotted playing the piano...
  6. I've caved. I'm in a band where certain songs can be done in up to 3 different keys, a few semis apart, to suit the vocal register of whichever of our singers is taking lead on a particular night, so this could potentially be a game changer and has rightly pushed itself to the front of the queue, ahead of a couple of more exciting/fun pedals on my wish-list - but which would have been more icing and less cake. Should be arriving next week, fingers crossed.
  7. I also have a more general question about tracking and strings/instrument EQ. Are spanking new roundwounds likely to track better than older? How about flats? What about the effect of tone controls on the instrument itself? Or pickup position? Any safe generalisations? It's possible I've asked something similar before, in which case forgive me.
  8. Price Tag - Jessie J
  9. Brilliant! Can't wait to give it a go. Amidst all the focus on preset management, I hope the idea of changing a subset of the default presets (ideally the first bank) to some of your more 'classic' bass sounds hasn't fallen by the wayside for any upcoming release. For obvious reasons I'd think it a particular selling point if one of these was a sound with e.g. square/pulse and saw layered.
  10. Today
  11. I’m sure you’re red faced about the whole thing
  12. After that … I’ll get it for you
  13. Vincent - Don McLean
  14. I think most people who have been gigging for a while have played to the one man + dog at some point (one spent the evening reading a newspaper!). My personal worst was a wedding where we played to the bride, groom, maid of honour and 3 or 4 other people they managed to drag along after an hour of phoning around. We didn't ask the details but can only assume it wasn't a popular joining of families. You can't take things personally. You can only do so much. You can't always predict the situation at the time you book the gig. All you can do is make sure it's on people's horizon (create Facebook events a month beforehand, followed by a photo post a day or two in advance as a reminder). Some venues are great at plugging what's on, and are usually successful. Other venues just don't seem to have a clue and expect a crowd to materialise on the night with no notice. Then there's also random factors - weather, sports events. Oh, and one of our USPs is that we DON'T do Dakota, Brightside, Oasis, etc. We're 70s "dad rock" and proud of it 😂 And wear shorts when it's hot 😜
  15. Yes, you're right, I can see the T of logo now you mention it.
  16. Yeh, that looks like it! A few differences, but could be an older model. It is ridiculously light though, like lighter than a guitar light.
  17. It's not just me then...
  18. A mixed bag. We had our second practice at a different place. The first room we got was all good and we were pleased with it. Today, the room was quite a bit smaller and just so bass heavy. Guitars and bass. We all had to change things up. So, not the best from that perspective. Did get a new song finalised in time for our gig a week on Saturday though. I love having a multi effects. I needed a variation on a sound to really cut through on one section. Ok, load up a mid booster. Bosh! Oh, I need something ambient and weird? Wah with delay and reverb, but the expression pedal is also moving around the feedback and delay times. Bosh! The sky is the limit!
  19. The first preset. There are demos of it in the MXR synth pedal thread.
  20. Will grab some more pictures when I’m at the practice room where it’s kept but yes orange bag included!:)
  21. Any more amp pics and condition ? Orange bag included ?
  22. Different logo to most of them, assume it's an older one? Another one like yours here with better pics: https://reverb.com/uk/item/45374901-secondhand-tanglewood-rebel-4-string-bass-trans-purple My old guitarist had one of these and it weighed a ton for the size of the thing, actually made it quite unwieldy so count yourself lucky you got a light one!
  23. I remember when that pub was The Case Is Altered. Used to do their pub quiz occasionally when I lived in Sutton.
  24. Tanglewood Rebel? Think you can see part of the logo on the body beneath the sticker.
  25. Boring midi problems aside, I'm interested to know the current progress on implementing portamento/glide on audio trigger. For me that is still the number one feature limitation (as opposed to quality of life issue) of the FI4.
  26. Thank you that was wonderful. Really enjoyed it
