WalMan

Started on guitar in the school band. Actually properly ended up on bass after finally plucking up the courage to ring an advert for a guitarist to be told that the older guy whose band it was, and who had decided that he was too old at 30 and that he would retire, had realised the error of his ways, but they could actually do with a bass player and could I do that. This was for a country/WMC band and I was a callow youth of 17, as were the rest of the band (except the leader). Never looked back, and still play with the drummer. We're getting pretty tight after 30+ years

LOUD ... but I remembered the words. Fairly regular dep & the guitarist is a tad deaf so cranks his amp and theough the first set I was struggling to hear me. Second set was better. Different drummer who I've known for years but never played with . It's been a while since I depped with this lot & he has only a couple of times before but is very good so we blagge most of it with nods. Onwards to tonights marathon

Come on then. It's 1 Dec. Where's this months picture then!!? Congrats Skol

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1354302689' post='1884698'] I got that too, the instruments sounds rather lovely. I can't wait to try them out. [/quote]We'll have to share usernames there cos epoints mean more sounds

Sadly it ooks like that ship has now sailed now. It's back at $149.99 at eSoundz again

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1354284872' post='1884450'] Where did you get the bargain on Miroslav software, Walman? I have looked at that before. I currently use a really old version of Edirol (I think? It was written before Bach died) and it is ok but I know the Miroslav stuff is better. I am also thinking of working on full orhestral composing in future but it is hard, not only because of the complexity of the arranging but because getting the software to work is a nightmare. [/quote]Esoundz had it on Black Friday Special for just under $50 plus an extra Sampletank library. Compared to $150 seemed a pretty good deal having had the cut down version for a while. I think IK Multimedia had the same deal running (it is theirs after all) excluding the Sampletank library. 4200 sounds including coughs & scraps for complete authenticity Esoundz.com tend to offer some pretty good extras on these deals.

Blimey there's been a run on voting this morning!!

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1354280204' post='1884361'] It's a fantastic turnout this time - especially considering the problems with the poll earlier in the week. I hope there will continue to be this much interest in future competitions when there isn't as much at stake. [/quote]Well quite! Having just acquired Miroslav Philharmonk in a sale I have told myself that next month will be orchestral...now watch me roll back on that when I realise it's too hard Right then, back to flipping coins for a final decision

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1354231913' post='1884050'] Coin toss... [/quote]More like a dice Si. Possibly multiple eeny meeny miny mo

Oh FFS!! I don't know I can't get the final whittling done

[quote name='Stephen Houghton' timestamp='1354109812' post='1882158'] I dont think its ok for mates to vote i think it will happen when its all over face book, twitter and other sites e.t.c. Its life and nothing can be done about it, please guys like i have said just offering an honest opinion, its not meant in a negative way at all, its just an opinion and i am not saying its right its just mine. [/quote] I posted/shared my choon on FB when I originally posted it to SC. Then again I have no friends so that's not a problem ([i]I think[/i])

Whichever way it goes will be a pain for someone, so if the decision is start afresh sobeit. Still I would say that wouldn't I as my original 3 were not about to bother anyone. Just a shame it had to happen this month when there was rather more at stake courtesy of 13 Guitar. Tomorrow night is my chance to have a final listen & vote

Thatll be it. I must have been using an old link that came up in history

You're a very naughty boy Nige, you **** stirrer you Bringing conspiracy theories into this. I don't know. And now your entry has disappeared from SC for me? Most strange @Tis odd on the count but I have never been sure what clicks the counter over. I presume it is down to more than just a quick click through & on

I think the poll has disappeared in a (hopefully) temporary blip

This week's problem...remembering the words. Depping with a band I work with fairly frequently doing classic rock covers and I started to do vocals on one song, which I don't have to play bass on for the verse part ([size=2][i]can you guess what it is yet?[/i][/size]). I know the words, [u][i][b]UNTIL[/b][/i][/u] I get on stage and need to actually need to sign them, then almost without fail they completely escape me. Current plan is a piece of paper on the floor with salient memory jogging words for each line, but it'll have to be out of sight - quote from the bandleader "[i].............Erm ....music stands are not allowed !..........Not cool !.. [/i]" Otherwise it's not too bad. Occasionally we start up something we haven't played in years at r/h & drummer and I usually manage to blag out way furthest through. Then again he'll often say (as he did on the curry run on Saturday) "Do you remember...[i]enter memorable event such as the van catching fire.[/i].." and I draw a complete blank.

Any chance of ETA's?

Youtube demo - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZmeCnf_VyA Sound on Sound review [url="http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/may12/articles/moog-minitaur.htm"]HERE[/url] As above you will need something like the Roland PK5 bass pedal controller or a MIDI pickup to drive it. It came out too late for me when I was looking for bass pedals for the prog lot I am with and I got a DSI MoPho from eBay. Similar thing really

A bit along the coast for me

Someone needs to buy something before I can afford this

Does no one have security cards at work? Or are the PR police really hot and you have to use a work named one? The BC Lanyard picked up at the SE Bash has replaced the MarkBass one I had been using. So donation made - about time too after all these years

ARF! I see what you did there
