Phew. We are at Tenby Blues Festival. Last night we went to Bella Collins' late night jam. Turned into an epic session ending after 4:00am. Headliner Sean ‘Mack’ McDonald’ joined in and has an incredible touch on guitar (and played a storming boogie woogie onbthe piano after it was meant to have finished). Met a guitarist and singer and stood in for three songs (I have no idea what they were) with them, an excellent saxophonist and a young woman on drums who was really good. Got called up a bit later to support a lady who hadn't sung for a while and got her confidence to sing again. Lots of variety and really captured the feel of a big community of musicians. Our first time here and we're meeting people we know wherever we go.

Just been trying to shoot a PM to @prowla and @cetera and I'm getting a response about the recipients not being able to accept messages? Thanks PAul

FWIW Origin's justification for not making the cab sim defeatable on the current bassrigs, from a conversation via social media, is that it just doesn't sound great - I think a spitty/fizzy top end. Their design philosophy appears to be to minimise bad-sounding possibilities even if it removes some flexibility. I vaguely remember suggesting a carefully-chosen LPF could give a less coloured alternative to a full cab sim. Very interested in what this new pedal offers.

Trolls be trolling... best response is no response (said the hypocrite...)

Oh, I absolutely didn't mean it like that. Transcribe whatever you feel like transcribing. I like to compare and learn. As you said before "The more the merrier!"

Welcome Tiger. Good luck with your therapy venture. It's a great idea.

I've been using a Lekato WS-70 UHF system for a year and a half now (well, two really, safety net if I forget to charge a set during a double gig weekend as I'm bound to do now and again). They have never let me down, the only time I've ever had dropouts is when I've pushed the range a bit too much (usually because I've gone round a corner on a walkabout or something daft). They're compact, sound good to my cloth ears and I've never felt the need to look around for anything better.

The I-vi-ii-V turnaround is common in the last two bars of a jazz blues but like @peteb says, I don't think it's as common in more standard blues.

I was led to believe that the motivation for AI generated songs was to make recommendations to fill up playlists of subscribers with songs that they don't need to pay any royalties at all. If AI generated songs continue to be successful in their own right, then expect to see significant lobbying to allow Spotify et al collect royalties on them!

Welcome FP. One piece of advice whether you intend to learn score or not is that this - - is a treble clef. This - - is a bass clef. (Notes for bass guitar are written on the bass clef but an octave higher than the intended pitch).

I did, Chris, but I forgot! I even commented on it at the time, didn't I? What a prat. The funny thing was, I remember thinking 'I thought I had already done that' but I now realise that I hadn't. You had!! Well that's a few hours of my life I won't get back!! What am I like? I do check your thread every time I see something come in for this very reason. One got through (Seriously, though. If I had remembered, I wouldn't have bothered and just pointed them in your direction - I see Tom Read and you and I as 'all in this together', rather than as competition). Sorry, bro. My bad!

Superb, thank you! I'll try to get back in

I bought the M-Vave WP-5G system which was ridiculously cheap (around £30 IIRC) and it has been really solid.

Welcome!

Hi there, I've just unlocked it (it said too many failed PW attempts?) - let me know if you have any other problem, for example I can rest your PW. Cheers

The Lekato ones are quite good. My guitars and vocalist all use them although the vocal one does drop out on some gigs but I suspect that it's because it's 2.4GHZ and not 5.8 GHZ. I use a Line 6 wireless which has been faultless but uses AA batteries rather that recharge the transmitter and receiver with a USB charger like the Lekato.

I've been a Basschat member for some years now, posting as 'BassedinBucks'. I was in the process of buying an item from a fellow member and whilst away from home, tried to respond to his message on my phone. For some reason, I couldn't access my account but I kept trying. Then, a message popped up telling me my account was locked. I have been trying to get back into my account now for over 24 hours, yet I'm still locked out. I am using the correct password. There seems to be no multi-factor authorisation process, such as a 6 digit code texted to my phone, and no instructions advising what I have to do to un-freeze my account. I tried to look up information, but.....you have to be logged in to see it. Can anyone help me please, this seems to be a very bizarre feature to have on this chat forum. Regards, Anton
