Well, I gave it four minutes.

You lucky dog, you..!

Wrong rubrique.

I think that this is the nub of the issue. The interpretation, or understanding, of what the term 'artist' means to any one person is not necessarily in accordance with the dictionary definition, and has 'cultural' connotations. For my part, I would agree, generally, with the feeling of pretention when using the term, and have no great esteem for those that apply it too widely. Anyone can be taken to be an 'artist', whatever their 'skill' level, in whatever discipline, and there are many that do, indeed, claim the title, despite turning out what I would call 'rubbish', or worse. I have more esteem for 'craftsman' (OK, craftsperson, if you must..!), as that, to me, implies some mastery of the discipline in question. I'm rather wary of 'art' in general; this is simply my own notion, and I am quite happy to allow others to have a wider appreciation. There is no definitive, objective, way of determining what constitute an 'artist' except that offered by the dictionary, so, in that wide sense, most folk are 'artists' in one field or another. Does that give them (and I include myself...) any 'special' status..? I think not.

And we obediently had to look up the ad, to see if it was true that the guitar sounded the same (it didn't...).

S'what comes of playing Melanie stuff too often. ...

I took down my bass from the wall behind me, and spent a good ten minutes trying it out 'your way', until it finally clicked what the 'issue' was. I wondered for a while exactly how you were tuning your basses to get those notes, but then the 'light bulb' moment came, and all became clear. I don't know who's the dafter of us two, you or me..!

... or 'come up one fret higher on each string', to get the fingering to correspond to the notes. No wonder it took you all so long. ...

Cheers; I followed up a link above, and will receive a bundle of four next week, rechargeable with built-in lipo's. I'll see what they're like when I get them.

Worth the cost for Miroslav Orchestra 2 alone. A bit of a faff to get it 'authorised', with the usual hoops to jump through, but it's done now, so. Thanks for the 'heads up'.

Indeed it does, and only too well; I've just ordered a folding caravan, four disco balls and a couple of pairs of fake zebra-skin running shoes.

Are you sure that the track is not 'private'..? It doesn't show up, for me.

Aha..! Just right, perfect..! I've found a French Amazon version of these same Fx, and ordered a pack of four, for 25€. Thanks for the link.
