mep started following ?Which Music Download app for use with Moises
-
I'm not sure what you're asking? With Moises you just drag and drop a mp3 file, at least that's what I do, and it takes it from there. Of course you need a mp3 to start with, so perhaps you need another app to download / purchase music files?

?Which Music Download app for use with Moises
karlbbb replied to Mickyk's topic in General Discussion
If you're at all technically-inclined, I've been running a self-hosted docker container of MeTube to pull the mp3 track from YouTube vids. Obviously this won't cover all songs but a good start for anything that's on YouTube. As for anything else, well to stay on the right side of the law you'll need to be ripping your own CD collection or buying online - I'm not aware of any tools that can pull tracks from streaming platforms, and it'll very likely be against their Terms and Conditions to do so. -
Necrothread bump: Admittedly I haven't been great at updating this thread as originally intended because it's just been one disappointment after another. I sold the Boss SY200 recently because the arpeggiation wasn't user programmable, the Source Audio C4 was sold last year due to connectivity faff and the Alexander Colour Theory and the Cooper FX Moment Machine both did pitch based arpeggiation but didn't do ADSR. So two steps of the same pitch and duration became one step of double the duration which meant it couldn't trigger a bass synth pedal. And of course I could only uncover all of this after shelling out for one. BUT after 16 years...I think my quest might be over. In August this year, a small company called Polyend released a pedal called the Mess which does virtually every kind of sequenced effect plus a load of delays and reverbs. I finally got my hands on one today and while I've had only a modest muck about with it so far just checking out factory presets...it's absolutely capable of pitch based arpeggiation with ADSR and user programmable pitch intervals. I'll post more in a week or so after I've connected it to the mimmo modded Freeze and the Future Impact. https://polyend.com/mess/

I may have asked this question at some point before so forgive if I'm found guilty of duplication. So tell us what you use for the above. I'll take this opportunity to wish people a Happy New year whilst I'm at it .

Yes i contacted G4M support too and had the same experience, they don't know why its a problem and weren't very helpful to be honest... they must be made from lead with the weights quoted, shame as the prices are great
-
Those are silly-daft weights, especially for nowadays.

Thanks for the replies. At my age I'm looking for a quieter life and Wymondham ticks all the boxes for me, some nice pubs and places to eat, just a few miles from Norwich, and not that far from the coast. Obviously it would be great if I could find a band, but if it doesn't happen, then it wouldn't be the end of the world because I've been thinking about calling it a day for some time. -

Lozz196 replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Yeah I never really thought about short-scale basses, even though I leaned to play on one, til my back dictated the need. I was expecting a situation of "well that`s what I need to put up with" but was pleasantly surprised at how well they work for me. -

The Yamaha CK-61 is what I went for in that sort of price range second hand (I sold mine recently for £470). I had it for about 18 months and was impressed: The main downsides to consider: They keys are slightly thinner than the standard piano ones (I think it is 15.9cm per octave vs 16.4cm), doesn't sound much but I did find that noticable. Keybed is semi-weighted. I thought that was fine, but if you are into weighted piano keys then it could be an issue. 61 keys might be an issue if you are into playing 88 key piano stuff. But those downsides could also be seen as positives for it being relatively small and lightweight.

Jazz Bass control circuits (passive) - what works for you?
TRBboy replied to JapanAxe's topic in Bass Guitars
I've used the VBT circuit pictured at the start on 3 basses now, and it's my go-to! Seems to work well. I haven't bothered cutting the traces, and find it to be just fine. Just reflecting on the fact that I pretty much only ever use it centered, so next build may not have a pickup selector of any sort 😅 -
karlbbb started following Harley Benton B550 - collected, free
-
Hi all, I've got a roughly ten year old Harley Benton B550 (specs here) that's been sat in the corner for over a year. It's in need of new strings, new battery, a bit of TLC and there's a few blemishes and minor dings around the neck and body. That said, all the electronics work fine so it's still a working bass. I'm having a bit of a clear-out/tidy up, so offering it for free if collected from Liverpool but will happily hand-deliver around the North West if needed. Hoping this will appeal to someone as a start of a project bass or something along those lines
-
Yes, the open pore hand stained oil finish may have an impact, similar to how the Nitro Cellulose finish basses always sound more open and alive, as it were.

cfortner started following Eden Novatone range

If the specs on the websites (german and english, UK and USA) are correct, the NovaTone enclosures are ridicolous heavy (I calculated the lbs here, on their page only the kg are written): 112: 23.4 kg (51.6 lb.) 210: 33.9 kg (74.4 lb.) 115: 35.1 kg (77.4 lb.) 212: 38.1 kg (84.0 lb.) 410: 54.6 kg (120.4 lb.) I contacted the german G4M-support and they don't seem to understand the problem. On Talkbass is also a great diskussion about these numbers. The 410 would be 11kg heavier as the original D410XLT, which was a heavy beast.

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
ped replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
I didn’t really give them the time of day until I randomly bought my Mustang. A/B-ing with my two main basses at the time (Celinder J update and L2000) I found it consistently cut through the mix better, sounded fatter, more expressive, more comfortable and lighter weight! I’m really enjoying them now, and like you say, they’re easier to have around the house, noodling in front of the TV or in the office. With different strings and pickup options they can sound every bit as growly and alive as a normal scale bass, ime. I had written them off as dead and plonky but I must admit that the Musicmaster will be pointed towards that sound which I have come to appreciate more and more for certain music. I’ve gone from roundwounds and graphite sizzle to tone rolled back warmth with occasional toan bombs poking through when pushed. -
The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Stub Mandrel replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
D'oh. First shortscale I ever played was a Musicmaster in a recording studio somewhere in mid-Wales where I had a bit of a jam some 40 years ago. For decades the name 'Musicaster' was in my head. I left my solid gold bodied Sekonda there that was my great-uncle's In 2018 I discovered my Squier Jaguar SS that brought back the memory of it. Would still fancy one, pretty sure it was off-white. -
