Good evening, Pamberi, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Good evening, Cog, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. ... Now sod off..! ... ... Nah, just joshin'.

I've already got all the 'dream' bass gear I want, so I'd start a topic here and offer each Poster in it their dream bass and gear. ... Don't hold your breath, though; I don't do lotteries.

For between £50-100, you could get an M-Audio Keystation 61, and use Vst instruments for your keys; they're very good. Worth a look..?

No expert, either, but, to me, this is another example of that old trap : the first chord (or note...) is the key of the song (it's not..!). To me, it's in 'C'; the clue is in the chords, which are 'F', 'G', 'C', 'Am','Em7' (Em is relative minor of 'G', so we're still in 'C' as a key...). Go with playing notes from the C Major scale and you can't go wrong. Looking at a video of the bloke playing it 'live', there's no capo, and it's in 'C' Hope this helps. Disclaimer: I'm a drummer; subject to completion, correction and/or contradiction from others. Hope this helps.

If there's a provision for RCA (phono...) plugs, the inputs are unlikely to be balanced. Knowing make/model of both interface and monitors would help confirmation.

Here is my contribution to the August 2020 Basschat Composition Challenge, inspired by a picture chosen by the previous winner: Xgsjx..! What's going on in the mind of a cat..? Dunno, so here's my rendition of their thought processes, with all their mystery. Three Philharmonik clarinets, s'all, with no effects nor 'spit'n'polish. Plain'n'simple. Disclaimer : this piece does not have any semblance of a Disco beat, and is declared totally unsuitable as Electronic Dance Music. You have been warned. Thanks for listening, if you already have; if you're about to, enjoy.

This is part of the problem, I feel, when folks, in all innocence, pass it on to more vulnerable folks without even knowing they're infected and infectious. It's not themselves that will bear the consequences, but those who pick it up from them. Still, anything's better than feeling like a fool wearing a mask, I suppose.

The idea of this protection is not really for oneself, but to avoid passing the bug on to someone fragile, unwittingly. The bloke's doing it right; respect and kudos are due, not brickbats.

Isn't that all the better reason for rehearsing, to keep the flame (and chops...) alive..? To some, rehearsals are just as important, musically, as gigs (it's certainly our case; we don't 'play out'..!). Feeling grumpy this morning, are we..?

Electrically there's no difference, but jack leads would probably be more robust. Assuming they'll be plugged in and stay there, it's worth getting good quality stuff, without going to the ridiculous extremes of 'snake oil' cables.

It's very good. ... I SAID 'IT'S VERY GOOD'... ... OI..! TAKE THE HEADSET OFF WHEN TYPING..! I SAID 'IT'S VERY GOOD..! ...

We've been here before. Here's a part of the AIM take on this ... We’re currently on Stage Three. “This means that we are now supporting musicians, dancers and actors, and the technical and operational teams that support performing arts production, to safely resume training, rehearsals and recorded performances where organisations wish and are able to,” the guidance says. Rehearsals and performances with no audiences can resume in England (check guidance for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland in case there’s variation), as long as artists, organisations and venues are COVID-secure and adhering to the latest general work guidance on coronavirus, including with appropriate risk assessments carried out. And performances with socially-distanced audiences can take place outdoors. For rehearsals, indoors, with no audience, there's no question of 'pro' or not, as long as conditions are satisfactory. The 'Pro' part concerns those playing in public, earning their living. Hope this helps.

All that can be done is to open the door(s...) and use a big ventilator in the doorway, blowing out. Not ideal, but it's all there is, I'd say.

The Maestro will confirm or deny, but I'd guess it's the bars with the notes in brackets (99, 107..?). I may be completely wrong, of course.

Now let me guess... Your site stats will go soaring again over the week-end, right..? ... Nice, clean, transcription; Well Done. You wouldn't fancy doing the drums now, I don't suppose..? No..? Thought not. ... Only kiddin', I'd do 'em myself.

T'would be good to know what Tuner he uses..! ...

Good evening, TK , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

If you're sure of the Hosco tuner holes, I'd go for that one, then, and pocket the price difference. They have a good enough reputation, I'd suggest, to reckon that the quality and playability are on a par with the MIM stuff. Our Eldest is a luthier, so we don't buy-in necks, so no more experience than that; sorry.

ood afternoon, Simon, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. (I'm slightly disappointed, though; I read the title as being an introduction from Clark Kent. )

The Fender neck comes with fitted nut and satin finish. I don't know about any difference in postage costs, but would need checking, too. Other than that, I doubt that there's much in it, really.

No, no, I'm not trying to find excuses for this singer; simply working out where the problem lies, the better to fix it. Most of the ambiguity (to me...) has been elucidated now. If the bloke isn't up to the assignment, maybe it's an 'opportunity' opening for another singer/songwriter to have a go..? Are there any such folks on hand, or in the 'phone book..? Bringing one in for an audition would certainly send a clear message to the present singer, no..?

No, we're quite definitely on different wavelengths, here. To me, composition of lyrics is a 'dark art', and un-earthing singable melodies even more foreign. Our singer, for instance, sings very well indeed, over a range of styles. Ask him to come up with an original song, be it lyrics or, lyrics supplied, a decent line, and there's nothing. Singing is one thing, composing songs is quite another, and lyrics another still. If the fellow was signed up to do all of this, and has done in the past, I see your point, but even then, sometimes the well runs dry. I can't think of many singer/songwriters with prolific quality output (OK, there's Joni Mitchell, and a few more...) but they're a rare breed, I say. What does he say to a basic chord sequence and a hint as to style..? 'Nuffin' comin'' or 'Give me a day or so'..?
