Rock Covers two band a trio and a five piece 2 guitars loudish drummer but not animal Cab to be determined just looking at the option of a power amp on the pedalboard are there any others

EPIC!

Yep. There are too many definitions of reasonable volume for a pub. Ime 200w works fine. I still don't know what kind of band ypurs is or if they are the kind that crank stuff. What cabinet? You put 200w through a 810 and you're going to need to turn well down for most pubs around here. I never heard anyone not call their drummer a rowdy bastard. A little bit rowdy or a lot rowdy?

The neck would have been too chunky for your liking anyway 🙂

I appreciate some may be looking for more customisation, but is the Stellartone Tonestyler not the solution you're looking for? https://stellartone.com/#menu

Home improvements are out of the scope of this challenge. But once you start buying gear to fit out the home studio, that's when things would get relevant.

I’m the only bass player at our local jam nights/om nights. I’d advise you to start with OM and tell the host you’d like to team up with someone and agree something to learn for next time. Also take your bass anyway so guitards approach you to team up. Speak slowly to them is my advice and if you write anything down, avoid joined-up

...so just theoretically speaking, if I remortgaged to build a home studio what level of fail would that be?

I think the Anagram would replace your whole board and you won’t find a need for the Capo, the io of the capo is the first thing the anagram replaces, it’s got the Alpha Omicron in it, octavers are some of the best I’ve heard and the compression options are really flexible. Buy it from somewhere with a relaxed returns policy and see how you go.

Mule Train - Bob the Tray

Little Donkey - Nina & Frederik

As I suspected, it’ll be The Pass from me.

Stepped rotary controls used to appear on high end basses quite a lot. The volume controls on earlier Status and GB models were always nice clicky units, and possible to get accurate positioning if you didn't always have everything set to 11. The lower tone rings on the stacked controls on some Fender Jazzes are also stepped - I think you get ten increments per control on those. Maybe the clicky volume controls just cost more, or the people who originally made them have long since retired?

I guess we’re not adding Utilities as T9 and Rent/Mortgage as T10… what a bunch of lily-livered lightweights! 😉🤣 PS as I understand, on the equivalent thread on Drumchat, Toiletries is classed as a T2, while new Cymbals is a T3.

Yep. Going on Sunday...

To some people, Neil Peart was Rush and there is a quite fanatical (ahem) fan base, so I can see why it's happening. There are other bands who've gone down that route though: Yes without Anderson and/or Squire, Deep Purple without Blackmore, The Who without Keith Moon, The Jam without Weller, etc.; they tread a thin line between being authentic and being a tribute with varying success. I'm happy that the two remaining members want to play their songs and good luck to them. However, I won't be going to the gigs: dynamic pricing is a rip-off and the O2 is a soulless venue; I want to actually see the musicians who are playing and if I have to watch them on a screen then I'll wait for the video so I can watch it at home. I commented earlier about them cashing in and it's up to folks whether they want to pay; they've done it on some of their reissues as well, where the only way to get the hd Steven Wilson album remixes is to buy a £300 limited edition box set of each album; that's a no from me (and contrast with Yes doing the lot for around £50). If they do new material and an album I'll probably buy it.

Same! I ditched my cali and empress after the comp update Anagram. I can do a squishy to pumping kind of compression or even light and making my notes breath nicely which is how I dial it on my Cali. in fact I sold everything and just been using the Anagram.

Walshy has the rather excellent Nobelium's in stock, I bought one a couple of weeks back and love it, I too really liked the Regal DI on the Stomp and wanted a Noble and the Nobelium hits the mark!

Lorne Wheaton is coming out of retirement for this tour.
