EMILY'S D+EVOLUTION

[quote name='lowlandtrees' timestamp='1481147173' post='3190123'] Forgot to say that I started wearing ear protection a few months ago. It seems that it is almost universal that rehearsal rooms have ludicrously massive equipment. Not only rediculously loud for the room but a waste of space.... I do think that it is a lead guitarist thing in general. [/quote] yes and yes whyTAF do you need a 100w head and 4x12 cab in a rehearsal studio??? also from experience of a previous guitarer in our band i always suspected that he wasnt intentionally turning up all the turning but possibly more likely that his hearing was compromised in that mid range and the fact he was persistently turning up all the time was more to do with the fact that he was having trouble hearing it in the mix due to his own hearing response

you cant try and equate the two environments and expect to achieve same results - just treat each one on its own merits and adjust accordingly i find the biggest issue to be with effects and the more extreme the effect the more extreme the difference - i find that if you set up a nice effect whilst practising at home the blasted thing rarely if ever works just like you want it to in live/gigging environment

'quoting' is fine

[/quote] if you dont know, and you havent tried, you might end up finding out that there is fees to be found

sublime as usual from meshell and pino - pity the drummer couldnt stfu a bit

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1475961707' post='3150160'] Pretty sure the East preamps have a trim pot, but on mine, still doesn't go as low gain as passive (U-Retro). [/quote] i have three easts and they are all trimmed to the lowest setting and are still extremley pokey - the only one i dont have is on the status on the bridge pickup is trimmed higher to boost volume and keep the pickup a reasonable distance from strings because it is so much closer to the bridge than most other basses that said i have yamaha and sandberg also both active but the output on them is nowhere near as powerful as the easts - ive just compromised and sort of figured out roughly where the volume pot should be and keep my fingers crossed would a trim pot across the output be literally connected up across the hot and ground? ta

on a bass once i think i remember back in about 1979 ish or thereabouts - was the G on the skinny six strings about once every few months and always the top E

and currently trying to figure out a workable mashup arrangement of donna summer 'bad girls' and alexis jordan 'good girl'(freemasons mix) [url="http://youtu.be/75Wh53RfxUg"]http://youtu.be/75Wh53RfxUg[/url]

we do 'aint no mountain high enough' and during the coda section we slip into diana ross but only for 8 bars and then slip out back into the marvin and tammy version

oh yes the GOOGLE CALENDAR that worked out well didnt it unfortunately we are beholden to the vile facebook messenger - group message - its the way to go hope this helps otherwise one of these might help

i prefer playing by fingers hope this helps

floyd rose lo pro edge locking system - you can tug the whammy bar as much as you like and it NEVER goes out

[quote name='Painy' timestamp='1475524299' post='3146683'] A friend recently told me that he'd asked our (very good) lead guitarist what I was actually like as a bass player as he thought the band anyways sounded good but he didn't really know what to listen for as far as bass goes (basically a typical pub punter). I actually thought our guitarist's response was really quite complimentary. He said that I'm "a very natural player". I'll take that quite happily [/quote] asking a guitarist to comment on a bassist? isnt that a bit like asking a fish about poetry?

[quote name='Hutton' timestamp='1475952638' post='3150081'] I am maybe doing something wrong here but a couple of times recently I have been asked to provide feedback and I have gladly done so. However, the gesture has not been returned. I don't think that I did anything wrong during the transactions so as not to merit feedback being reciprocated. Any thoughts folks? [/quote] you too huh

sounds a blast you might need this [url="http://www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/goods/173217"]http://www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/goods/173217[/url] hope this helps

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1475076634' post='3142864'] I dunno about 60 years but I know from personal experience they've certainly been of - shall we say - [i]variable quality[/i] since 1973. The very first time ever I went into a music shop the guy eventually looks up from the organ he's playing, eyes me up and down in a disparaging fashion and says '[i]What?[/i]' [/quote] was he offering nostril flaring lessons?
