[quote name='thebigyin' timestamp='1498630198' post='3325929'] Having not played in a band for quite some time now i was unfortunately diagnosed with depression about 6 years ago and quit my last Band because of the illness ect....to be honest i never bothered playing either my Bass or Guitar and now suffer with terrible confidence issues where I have become terribly unreliable musically.... [/quote] If the confidence issues are stopping you doing what you want to do then maybe it's time to ask for some help with them ? I've struggled with depression stemming largely from self-esteem and confidence issues and I know how much it can eat away at your enjoyment of playing music. Did you get some help with your depression from a GP ? It might be time to pop back and tell them that you need a bit more help as that bloody black dog's sitting on your bass whenever you want to play it. But think - you get asked to play in bands, so people obviously think you're good enough to rely on - "Yep The Big Yin, he can cover the bass, no worries", so why not try to go with it if you can ? They want you there, after all. Good luck, if there's anything I can do then please PM me Stay frosty

What sort of output and budget did you have in mind ?

I used to love them, and I keep going back to them when they have some new material out but it doesn't do it for me like it used to. Nothing I've heard makes me feel they're adding to anything they've done before.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1498189809' post='3323012'] I sort of get where your coming from. However.I think the opinions from Bass Chatters on this thread are unique, diverse and invaluable. [/quote] That's not what I'm saying, the content isn't my concern. What I am saying is that if you wish to discuss various bass playing ads then starting the same style of thread over and over isn't the best way to do it. Why not have one long thread ? The forum has many long-running threads on specific subjects, from the very technical to the funny. A longer thread may even improve the discourse as it lends itself to less segmented discussion. People can also subscribe to it. If serious discussion is your aim then I would suggest posting many similar threads isn't the way to do it.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1498153070' post='3322853'] There must be some newbies on bass chat where this type of discussion is useful, right? Blue [/quote] Well, there is a search function if people want to tap into the already-posted opinions. Creating topic after topic on the same subjects makes it harder to use that search function without simply turning up the same opinions from the same people, not a range of opinion which I'd venture is preferable. If you really want people to benefit from your knowledge, I'd shy away from repeatedly posting topics on the same subject. YMMV of course.

Synth now, repent later.

Sounds interesting, could you add the link please.

Thanks for the tip. If I had the space...

I'm going !

I'm a convert.

Not to mention the neck dive Mwhahahahaha.

[quote name='Bass_Guardian' timestamp='1497881310' post='3321073'] Ooft lets no start this topic again [/quote] Fair point.

[quote name='gillento' timestamp='1497879939' post='3321054'] That's my take as well. This way I can even skip bringing an amp/cab depending on the venue. [/quote] Very much - useful at practices too if you're using the place's amps.

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1497880109' post='3321060'] You'd think they'd offer free shipping at that price... [/quote] Indeed. Is it worth almost a third of a million ? If somebody buys it at that price then yes it is. Let's not confuse worth (a value judgement) with price (a [i]hopefully[/i] quantitative evaluation of the market)

Tell the sound engineer what you want and see what they say ! I've played almost all my gigs in multi-band set-ups/kit share and have been faced with this situation many times. Tell the person with the XLR in their hand that you use the amp's overdrive and you'd rather be post-amp. I they insist on pre-amp, then....well, argue if you wish but I've found it best to be no hassle. I've ended up with a pedalboard that can give the PA a speaker-emulated signal from with all my FX included and use the on-stage amp as a monitor. The sound tech gets a good signal, I get a good FOH sound and I don't need to worry about what I play through. Oh, and it's not a stupid question - it's a fine line you have to tread sometimes between not making too much work and getting a sound your happy with.

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1497554956' post='3319122'] I can either transpose the recorded notes an octave, or offset the note names in the drum map, or transpose them at source in the X50's settings - whichever turns out to cause me the least hassle when it comes to playback! [/quote] How about a midi transpose plug-in ?

Well deserved. Non-bass-playing Mrs Pook saw this over my shoulder and agreed !

[quote name='SH73' timestamp='1497090522' post='3315776'] Do you think I can use the FTWS output to connect to interface? [/quote] FTWS ?
