Just a thought, could it be running slow because all my Reaper projects and files are saved to an external USB drive?
-
I’ve used Reaper on my 2015 MacBook Pro for a number of years without any problems until recently, and because other programs seemed to be running slower as well, I decided to do a factory reset. I’ve re-installed Reaper but it still seems to be struggling, has anyone got any ideas as to why, is it Reaper, or could it be my MacBook even though I’ve restored it to its original condition? Thanks in advance.

Laney DB-PRE Digbeth Bass Preamp Pedal (£100 Posted) - *SOLD*

Thank you Mr President.😉 -
Laney DB-PRE Digbeth Bass Preamp Pedal £100 Posted. It's in great condition and works perfectly. I purchased this a few week's ago from a fellow Basschatter, and the reason I'm selling is not because it doesn't sound great, because it does, but I've now decided that pedals are just not for me, I prefer to just plug in and play.

Oh, I didn't realise that it was a jam for ukulele players.

I still can't get my head around this.🤔 Does this mean that no bass players can go along and replace the "house band" bassist to play a couple of songs? Does this apply to guitarists, drummers, etc.. as well?
-
Yes, I agree that they would certainly have advantages in small or quiet venues.

We are definitely going to get him in for an audition, we are not going to dismiss him because he plays an electronic kit. In the past, we've had drummers come along and talked for hours about their "top of the range gear" but were totally imcompetant drummers.

My band is currently looking for a drummer and we've had four applicants so far, they all seem quite suitable and one in particular is really into the music we play, and is able to rehearse during the day because we are all retired or semi-retired. But, he says he plays an electronic kit, I know the higher-end kits can sound quite good, but on the odd occasions I've seen bands play live with an electronic kit, something just seems to be lacking sound wise, and they just don't look right. Is it just me? I would be interested to hear of your experiences of drummers using electronic kits.

At the age of fifteen I borrowed £15 from my older (working) sister to buy a Burns Sonic bass, at the time I was in a band which we formed whilst still at school. We weren't that good and I didn't really know anybody who could give me a few tips or lessons on how to play bass properly, and there were no YouTube videos to turn to back in the mid-60's, so after about six months, the band disbanded, I swapped my Burns bass for some fishing gear and that was it until I reached the age of 55 when I was asked if I was interested in forming a band just for fun, so I said okay I will play bass but I will only be able to play root notes. It turned out that the guys I was playing with were actually quite good musicians and they gradually pulled me up to a decent level, and now at the age of 72 (ouch), I can play almost anything I'm asked and feel I could walk into most bands and do a good job. But, I do regret NOT playing at all between the ages of 15 and 55 because I do wonder that if I had continued, I probably would have succeeded at a much younger age and enjoyed many years of gigging in my youth, maybe creating our own music, and enjoying all the perks that go with it, but all I've really experienced of being in bands and gigging is being in "dad" bands, and knocking out covers of the bands we all enjoyed listening to many year's ago.

This is my home practise rig, it's a Warwick Gnome I Pro 280w Pocket Bass Amp going into a Barefaced One10, as you can see, it takes up very little room, it sounds great at low volume, it has a USB port so you can play along with tracks, it also has a headphone socket for quiet practising, and if I do need to play live in public, then unless it's an extremely loud gig, this should more than handle most situations.

I only use P basses which are usually my own builds and I always check them over before leaving home, and providing you treat them well and don't knock them around, what can go wrong with a P bass? I always carry a small holdall packed with spare "used" strings, a spare small amp head, a DI pedal, leads, straps, 9v batteries for my Boss tuner, spare clip-on tuner, tool kit, etc.. but I have never needed to use any of them myself, but the guitarists in the band do appreciate my "spares" bag because they never seem to check over their gear before leaving home, or have much in the way of spares themselves.

Great video's Bart, can I ask what software do you use to create the on-screen tabs? Thanks -
Thanks, I'm so pleased with them.

I have recently built two P basses with Fender bodies and Fender necks, so can I actually call them "Fenders" because the Fender decals were applied by Fender, and the bodies have Fender stamped on the back under the neck plate, again applied by Fender, and one even has a Fender Custom Shop ‘62 Precision Pickup fitted? Seriously though, I would never try to pull the wool over anybodies eyes if I was to sell them, and to be quite honest, these two are the best playing, and best sounding basses I have ever owned, and I've had a few over the years (at least 25), so I can't see myself selling these until I stop playing completely, I'm a P bass fan and the 38mm J necks just make them a perfect fit for me.😏 Here's the specs: Sunburst/Maple Fender P-Bass Body in Brown Sunburst Fender Roasted Maple Jazz Bass Neck Fender Custom Shop ‘62 Precision Pickup Schaller BM 4L NI Bass Tuners Ki0gon P-Bass Wiring Harness CTS Pots/0.047 Cap D'Addario EXL165 Bass Guitar Strings Arctic White/Maple Fender P-Bass Body in Arctic White Fender Roasted Maple Jazz Bass Neck Nordstrand NP4 Precision Bass Pickup Schaller BM 4L NI Bass Tuners Ki0gon P-Bass Wiring Harness CTS Pots/0.047 Cap La Bella Low Tension Flexible Flats 42-100 Bass Guitar Strings

I thought that might be the case, but I just wanted to make sure before sanding a couple of millimetres off, the last thing I would want is for the wood to be lighter underneath the surface. Thanks
-
I have a Fender roasted maple neck which I would like to make the depth a little shallower, I'm shaved a few necks in the past but not a roasted maple one. My question is, will the nice light brownish colour of the neck be the same after shaving a few millimetres off it, or will it be lighter?
-
Neck pocket is Fender P and J dimensions, I fitted a fender neck to the body and it was a perfect fit. -
Precision Bass Body (Lightweight and Cheap!) Sold! This is the second of two P bass bodies I purchased recently, unfortunately, I abandoned the projects before completing the builds. It was stained and finished with Tru-Oil by the previous owner, and would make a great project, or a nice cheap and lightweight bass. The neck pocket is "standard" Fender P and J Bass dimensions, I fitted a fender neck to the body and it was a perfect fit. It weighs just 2.7lbs.

Precision Bass Body (ONLY) SOLD! I purchased this body a few months ago, it was stained and varnished by the previous owner, it looks okay but it does have a few scratches around the bridge area (last photo). It is extremely light, and the complete bass shown in the photos weighs just 5.88 pounds. The neck pocket is a perfect fit for Fender P and J necks, and is ideal for a project, or for building a nice cheap and lightweight P bass. This sale is for the BODY ONLY.- 1 reply
