[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1402436352' post='2473592'] I am an ex-Christian (the whole evangelical 9 yards) and this sounds horribly familiar. Something that you really enjoy, not 'sinful' as such but takes up a lot of your time and commitment: serious competition for the big G. So you pack it in, you've made a sacrifice, bit of kudos from your fellowship, but the warm glow won't take away the sick feeling that tells you you've made a mistake that's difficult to reverse. I'm not going to try to convince you that Christianity is a crock, you need to find your own way on that one, but the at the end of your post says it all. [/quote] this you could apply your reasoning and argument to any facet of your daily activities - why pick on music? have all those years of practice and performance really been so fruitless and futile? edit - why not pick on basschat? look at the amount of time we all fritter away on here!

even thinking about singing whilst playing throws my playing out had somebody come up during a song once trying to ask for a request and even thinking about answering her was just too much and i eventually ended up thinking 'go away i cant concentrate on playing and thinking about your question at the same time' and just ended up nodding in the general direction of the bandleader

[quote name='Panamonte' timestamp='1402216304' post='2470974'] Sounds like a great idea. When and where is this happening? [/quote] 1st november apparently [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/237220-se-bass-bash-this-year/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/237220-se-bass-bash-this-year/[/url]

[quote name='Panamonte' timestamp='1402215886' post='2470966'] I've got 64s and 84s in my 2 J basses (fretless and fretted, respectively). Was playing them yesterday and reminding myself again just how great these pickups are - particularly the 84s. I was always tempted to stick a Thumper in my P bass, but went with a 62 RI instead. Very tempted to pick one up when this pickup phoenix eventually rises... [/quote] will you be at south east bass bash at all? i have a J with hammers - would be interesting to compare the three

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1402097210' post='2470160'] I have an old-style bean-shaped Bass Pod. Its inputs are: 6mm jack, midi in, pedal. So, this version doesn't. HTH [/quote] out of interest have you ever managed to get it to download patches via usb? all i can see online are threads of how it should work but nothing from line6 to explain why it doesnt i do concur - there is only a single 1/4" jack in - we tried the vocal through it the other night as our singist forgot to bring the little white helicon box - was errr ... interesting!

Auditioning Guitarists Tomorrow - Advice Required
steve-bbb replied to Sean's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1402136188' post='2470300'] Cool. How about emailing them today to let them know to wait in their car until the previous guy has left? Is that reasonable? [/quote] i dont get this - they know it's an audition - they know you have to try and maintain some sort of schedule - hence they know there will be somebody in before/after/both and that they might bump into them during the changeover i wouldnt go so far as to encourage them to sit at the back of the room and point and laugh but how is it a problem if one of them bumps into another whilst loading/unloading ? will they be comparing gear in some sort of guitarists pissing contest? if their egos are that fragile then for me it would certainly be a big deciding factor and i t would take an exceptionally talented and gifted and original guitarist to trump that i think being pragmatic trumps any notion of stroking their egos IMHO edit - apologies for being a bit blunt -
Auditioning Guitarists Tomorrow - Advice Required

[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1402135393' post='2470283'] 17:15 - 1830 Drummer, Singer and I pack up and discuss, have a cup of tea, hopefully make decision Should one of us (not the drummer, obviously) take notes so we don't forget stuff? Someone suggested taking photos of them to aide discussion later but would that give the wrong impression, it's not a beauty contest? And moreover, I'd feel like a tw@t doing that. Are there any sort of standard audition questions that we should be asking to gauge their commitment level? Any help gladly taken on board. [/quote] 1715-1830 decision !! i admire your optimisim but seriously if they are all that close and not one individual stands out significantly above the rest then you might consider holding a second audition day especially as this is for original material and you need to find somebody with original ideas to bring something extra to the mix that is unique and different to the three of you already hopefully there will be one of the four that stands out from the others and the decision sort of makes itself with just agreement from you all to confirm -
[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1402135448' post='2470286'] I really think you must go down to the sea again, but that's just me. No real need, I think. Just some rules and some experience built up by soldering stuff that does not matter. Rules should be everywhere on the web, or just ask here, but start with an iron that is hot enough, or you're gonna warm up components while you wait, and ruin them. Personally, as a beginner solderer, I like extra hands: weights with arms and crocodile thingies on them, so you can fixate components exactly where you want them, whilst also leading away some of the excess heat. No shame in using some form of emulsion that will transmit the heat from the iron to the object and from the object to the solder (in that order) whilst possibly cleaning the surface at the same time. Oh, and do use a soldering iron. Those 12" gas torches really are not ideal for electronics. [/quote] yes crocodile clips i like this i do know the it about youre not supposed to blow on the hot solder to cool it down and i alwys tin the ends of the wires first but somehow it always ends up an ungodly (but functional) mess

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1402079427' post='2469922'] Your socks are dry then? Same with your vest? [/quote] i dont know, ive not been down to the beach [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1402079956' post='2469926'] I bet those socks are still wet - for extra damping! *fetches coat* [/quote] well seemed ok last night - the amp that is, couldnt hear any discernible difference with he 15" running at full range compared to before with the crossover in place no need to resort to socks, damp or otherwise if anybody knows anywhere local to me where they do short courses on how to solder would be much appreciated - i wont be showing you any pics of the soldering on the two speaker wires on to the jack socket
