I don’t think there’s a factory reset per se. there’s a new update due tomorrow which will likely improve MIDI (presuming).

Matter of interest: how many people on here are still using an Acinonyx? There was a great deal of enthusiasm for it when it first came out but quite a few got sold in the BC classifieds. For a while it was my main gigging bass with my blues band but I got so fed up with the buttons, I left it at home after the first flush of enthusiasm. I’m probably going to play it more now that I have done the mods above but I am favouring medium scale at the moment.

Afternoon everyone. Long story short following the passing of my dad, my mum has decided to down size from a large place to something more manageable, have found these whilst having a rummage (he was a bit of a hoarder!). Now I know he was in a band probably from early 60s' through to I reckon early 80s' as I only have a vague memory of him disappearing to gigs on a Saturday night. Now we weren't overly close so didn't talk much about bands, one time he did reveal his band had the contract for the Radio Caroline roadshows back when they were a pirate station, he reckoned they had to do a 3 to 4 hour set so House of the rising sun used to be dragged out for about 20 minutes! Pics are of what I assume were his bass rig of the time(also have a bass which I'll post in the guitar section for thoughts). The two cabs both work, have tried quietly using my Ampeg although one does need the speaker lead pressed slightly for it to work so thinking nothing more serious than a dry joint on socket. The amp is a non runner, the slo blo mains fuse was missing so I replaced and this blew straight away, the slo blo HT fuse is fine, I think it could be a transformer failure as there is a dead short between the windings of the transformer and the chassis (I'm an electrician by trade so a little bit of knowledge but realise amps are a completely different ball game!). So questions are. Is amp worth repairing? If so a recommendation for someone in the East Sussex area would be appreciated. And would it be worth moving the cabs on? For those that are thinking I should keep them, I already have a head, a 6x10, quarter of a PA, 2 basses, mic stand and general paraphernalia stacked in a corner so extra stuff could meaning be sent to the shed to sleep!! As always thanks in advance for the collective knowledge always found and freely given on here.

When listening to talk radio I switch off if someone says "y'know" three times. (I don't know, but if you'd explain it instead of suggesting that I do know then that would probably be more informative.)

Incredibly so!

This is a really bad idea isn’t it??

Oooh thanks dm me

Two very different views on the Satellite: Not everybody likes the Satellite.

Thank you kindly 😀👍 Enthusiasm returned . I have made more of an effort since those pics were taken . It will still a while . One step forward 22 steps back etc. Will soon be discarding 3 moog boxes along with the Tv Boxes and other rubbish etc . Oh, the joys of living in a converted Victorian flat ! 😮‍💨😀

G4M have just knocked a few quid off it and they have sunburst lefties in stock.

I’m desperately in need of new hearing aids & wondered what my fellow deafies use? Also, what’s people’s opinions on hearing aids with AI? My concern is privacy & AI recording my conversations. But it does seem to be a lot of benefit otherwise.

I played a set with him a bit over 20 years ago, before I really knew who he was or what he did. The band I was playing with opened, some local improv-heavy jazz sorts played with him, and then we combined everyone for a third improvised set. I was not prepared for how funny he could be, I remember absolutely cracking up trying to play.

It’s okay to respond to an old thread, it’s makes people read the thread and learn something that has been forgotten

I used to be bothered but I’m better now. Just imagine the audience aren’t there and you’re playing for the people alongside you with instruments

@kwmlondon I'm really keen to find out what your decision will be as and when you arrive there. Can I ask why you feel 4s aren't for you anymore?

Not really....it just sounds like I do! 🤣

So you exclusively playing fretless nowadays, after you erase all your frets?

So I've come to the conclusion that the Anagram is not for me. It's good, but I'm a little underwhelmed by the range of effects and I foresee issues with its usability in a live situation. Anyone know how to do a factory reset so I can send it back?

Just following on from your dislike of certain instruments onstage, that’s all.

I quite like acoustic guitars mixed with electric ones. Stops that dreaded two electric guitar thing where you get both players playing exactly the same thing for no apparent reason. At least acoustics bring a different texture and percussive feel to things. Here’s another one - guitarists who have all their sounds on a ( usually massive ) pedal board, with everything done by doing a dance on the damned thing every time there’s even a slight change in sounds. Most of the time it’s variations on sounding like a wasp in a jam jar, and makes the choice of instrument almost redundant as anything they used would sound the bleeding same… Volume and tone controls on guitars are there for a reason!
