Once we get these in ears fired up after Xmas my only FOH sound will be from the RCF 735s and hopefully the guitarist will be ampless too, that should kill rock and roll off forever! 

I'm curious, what's that kind of setup set you back?

Hi @josie, our server chap says that it's likely your side. He's done a preliminary sweep of the server and all looks good and yours is the only report we've had if this

Thanks for that. @charic anything we can do this end?

I'll get Astrapi to check the server but it's unlikely our side

I second this idea, maybe just a function on both sites where you can post a thread on both sites

We discussed this idea prior to go live.  Well, sort of... We were discussing a "general" site for the off topic type sections but opted against it in the end as it introduces issues.

"guitarchat" here is closed for business.  www.guitarchat.co.uk is the new platform for your skinny stringed needs

Hi folks,

I could do with some help with Dream Theater tunes that are good for bassists coming to grade five-ish.  Any suggestions?

Thanks

Great choice! I would start off with their slower tunes and concentrate on working on really locking it in. Pull me under is a great track to work up too though

We got to the bottom of that particular one

Thanks mate, I'll raise it with the server chap at the weekend

There seems to be no way to delete attachments that are already there. I have an old version of the SEBB PDF that needs to go to avoid confusion.

Well apparently in this version they changed the settings.... you can go deleting now

Ignored users wouldn't have been carried over from the upgrade I'm afraid

Can you please explain how you can read for one instrument and not another that you can also play?

Sorry, more accurately. I can sight-read music but while I can sight-read and play for keyboard (within reason) I can't do the same on bass as I haven't trained myself to do so (bass clef knowledge is weaker than treble and I've not thoroughly trained all the fretboard positions enough to respond in real time)

You should be fine, I do it regularly without any issues

Controversial post time... I would suggest that a basic understanding of chords/scales will serve you better in your development than trying to read.

When it comes to bass, I don't read.  I generally use tab if I want to learn a song that's by someone else.  I can move around a fretboard quicker that way and play along with something like GuitarPro.  I'll read the timings from the score and the position from the tab.  I "can" sightread for other instruments (mostly keyboard these days) but haven't found a need for it on bass myself.

That's just me though!

Doesn't Shuker do a super duper lightweight JJ Burnell P bass?  May be worth a looksie?

Maybe the ones and zeros are angry and must be appeased, they seemed most offended by the bump button on my geet ad!

(this one...)

 

Wow, indeed they do dislike your bump button.  Weird!
 

@ped can you put it on the support ticket mate?  Busy my end today!

@Vinny it might be worth posting it on guitarchat!

To those saying about house prices near your, you're making me giggle a bit!

I've moved up from Cambridgeshire, house prices are around half what I used to see! Rental even less!

That's turned out great!

Just as weird, there's no bump button in the ' Sell Anything ' forum, but you can make replies

 

Ive probably just not enabled it there lol.

Ill check when next at a computer

Ah, it looks like the bump functionality requires that you can respond to the thread.  That's frustrating!  There's nothing I can do about that though

Sorry guys!

See Charic’s reply above. It needs to be updated (by the developer) otherwise we can’t put it there. 

Nope, all sorted but it should be working.  I'll have a quick look

Should be working now

Its a good shout, unfortunately the add on for the bump button has decided it doesnt want to play ball at the moment. Its on my list

I've just posted (see below) with a link to an mp3 file which I uploaded in the same way as for photos (dragged to the bar at the bottom) hoping if one clicked on the link it would play, but instead it downloads a copy of the file. I've added a warning about this to my post - I would hope peeps are very careful about what they download and would be unhappy if this happened - I know I would be!

1) Should I put the mp3 on something like SoundCloud - would peeps be able to listen directly from there?

2) Is this a potential security weakness? 

 

 

 

Thats correct behaviour. If you upload to soundcloud or similar you can stream from there.

You’ll just have to put up with the tinnitus/ hearing loss like I do..

So you're saying I might not be able to hear the people?...

... Tempting!...

(In all seriousness, I take the health of my ears VERY seriously)

I’m sure I read that alcohol has the same affect as said caffeine.

So you're saying I shouldn't have a jagerbomb every hour?  How am I supposed to TOLERATE people?!
