All Activity

Just scanning over a limited discography of her work, it's phenomenal. She has been overlooked for far too long.

Every 1's A Winner - Hot Chocolate

Pride - U2

So for some songs the click is just for setting the tempo and nothing else. Do these songs always have the same structure and length? If not that will lead to synchronisation issues with the video. If you are only playing places with in-house PA and lights then you'll find that most of the venues that could support video projection will already have some sort of system installed that is appropriate for the size of the venue. You may find that some of the older set-ups will result in people on stage casting shows and obscuring parts of the screen, and you'll have to decide if this is an acceptable compromise for your performance or if at those venues you would be better off with no back projections. Unless you can find someone to produce all the imagery and videos it's probably going to take several months to implement, so I'd start by asking all the venues that you are playing in the meantime how their projection system works and what inputs are available and what formats they support. That will give you an idea on how to proceed. You could test the water by getting the venues to project your band logo while you play. We have one that is included in our technical rider in various formats, and if it gets lost, our singer has copies on his phone that can be emailed, texted or AirDropped to the lighting engineer while we are setting up. Here's a couple of shots of my band with our logo projected onto a screen behind us. This first one is from a fairly small venue and as you can see we are obscuring part of the screen and projection: Of course that's not a problem if you play somewhere big:

The Best - Tina Turner

I think I’ve seen a thread about “Aion’s non working mid control” on talkbass refer to this thread. a good case study for how a post asking a question becomes an internet “fact”! Apparently the Aion kit is like the real thing and matches the original schematic, apparently it works and sounds good - so if you want the Traynor sound crack on and get building. if you want to start modding the circuit and changing the tone stack like Bremen is suggesting… it’s DIY so try it out and enjoy yourself…

Nobody Does It Better - Carly Simon

Yes indeed. There's currently on Ebay right now a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass V with a John East preamp modification,SD Apollo pickups and a Schaller bridge and the bidding starts at £771. I'd love to know the final price if it sells.

There's Nothing Better Than Love - Luther Vandross

Finally! I mean all she had to do is record over 9000 songs perfectly, through multiple decades! 😁 Like one does.
