'Creativity' is a criteria amongst many others. Not everyone is, nor wants to be, creative, and there is a lot of creative stuff that is really... well, let's just say 'not very good', eh..? Is music, already composed, never, ever, to be played again, by anyone..? Maybe not even by the original composer, if one is to be strict about it. What's wrong with reading aloud a Good Poem, for folk to enjoy..? What's wrong with playing Good Music for folk to enjoy..? What's wrong twith playing bad 'creative' music for folk to enjoy..? (Ignore that last bit; it's so rare...). If the Players wish to go out on a limb and play whatever their 'creativity' dictates, that's fine, and if anyone has the temerity to suffer it, good on 'em. I'd rather play my Schubert's Ninth for the umpteenth time, and hear again something I'd not heard in there hitherto. One day, I might even go for a different version, and see what the conductor and/or orchestra have managed to 'create' from this old soup. To each his/her own, naturally.

There seem to be a lot of ... ... sour grapes out there.

Here's the range of Ibanez gig bags. Is there not one suitable there..? Ibanez Gig Bags ...

Maybe say which bass this gig bag is for..? Just a thought.

Rain - The Beatles

(... and get that keyboard repaired..! )

Here is my contribution to the September 2022 Basschat Composition Challenge, inspired by a picture chosen by the previous winner: Doctor J It all started innocently enough. A fun day out in the fresh alpine air... Two Monster Drums tracks for the percussion, four Kontakt tracks playing a new (to me...) Foundations Synth Bass, Staccato Strings and the Text To Speech samples, Little treatment, other than a bit of compression/EQ on the voices, and my standard Reaper NY Glue on the Master tracks, as usual. Thanks for listening, if you already have; if you're about to, enjoy.

I'd suggest that, in the same way as reading literature gives opportunity for enlarging one's vocabulary, so reading music (dots, Tab, whatever...) allows expansion of one's musical vocabulary. Listening to stuff does this, too, of course, but once past the 'Janet and John' stage of reading music (without necessarilly being able to play what is being read; just understanding it is enough, hearing it in the head...) a whole shoal of new worlds can open up. I'd certainly differentiate between 'reading' and 'sight reading'. The first is available to all, without too much study. Not so the latter, which requires (and rewards...) much more practice.

T'was my friend Marc who dubbed his native land thus. For my part, I've only really driven through, except the one time we went as a family (prospecting a move, for professional reasons...), and went for a 'meal' at a Quick outlet. That place was beyond tumbleweed; it was shockingly filthy. We left, and ate only once back in France.

(Although I can't try this collection, as it tells me that my Kontakt is not recent enough. I'd not planned on upgrading in the near future, so these will remain under wraps until I can actually play them. 2023..? Maybe... )

Cruise ships..? The epitomy of 'Crisis..? What crisis..?'

Matter of taste, of course, but I had to turn it off at halfway, giving it the mental label of 'Truly Awful'. Not a fan. At all. Thanks for sharing; it's just not to my taste. At all.

For a few years I organised Hofner bashes here in France. I had many more folk come from other countries than France (UK, of course, but also Blegium, USA, Helvetica...), and several of the attendees from France were GB ex-pats..!

You've not heard me playing, then.

My location is already coded into my User name, so...

Yes.

With some programmes, I find that the next input box is hidden behind the last one opened, so the PC is waiting for a button to be pushed that you can't see. A spot of 'Alt-Tab' shifts the focus, usually, so that the waiting message box comes to the fore. Worth looking into, maybe..?

Torrenting as I type this. Good Work; thanks. Edit : and 'Done'..! It's in the bag.

Did he ever get that rig fixed, to get rid of that horrid farting sound..?

Any good..? m-audio-projectmix-i-o-mode-d-emploi-fr-33905.pdf

Can you not turn the unit itself upside down..?
