  1. Bland as vegetarian cheese
  2. ....is driving me nuts. Trouble is, the customer support takes a minimum of 24 hours to respond to every question. I aks a question today, I get a response tomorrown that I cannot action until three days later which them doesn't work so I ask another question, wait another 24 hours and so on..... After this month's Composition competition, I realised I needed to up my game in terms of better VSTs. The thing is, I have a truckload on my PC that I have never even opened so I went back to IK Multimedia and the emailed me the Authohrisation Manager so I can access them but my PC just spits the damn thing out (my music PC is NOT on-line so I can't use the AM on-line, obviously but I also cannot open it in off line mode because it won't open. AAAAARGH!!) Another two hours of my life gone on uncooperative IT.
  3. Write a contrafact (new head over existing changes).
  4. Bassace has one. He is in Swerford, Oxon.
  5. Stagg EUBs move easily as a lot of folk who are attracted to the idea of double bass see it as a bridge then either give it up or go the whole way and go for the real deal. My thoughts were that I knew I would regret not buying a double bass if I went half the way.
  6. Another Fishman Plat Pro here. Does the job. Perfick.
  7. Worth a punt, methinks.
  8. I may have an 'in' (I know the brother of The British Lions' drummer) but can't chase until Thursday. Anyone got a better route?
  9. I have seen five reviews of my book so far. One was five star, one four star, one three star, one two star and one one star. I guess that tells you a lot about reviews
  10. Absolutely but it also allows you to feel good about the bits that work. Incredible tool. I wish I had got one years ago!
  11. Interesting to see how bored the other players look in the second video! SCHOOLBOY PLAYS METAL SHOCKER!!! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecOJblWbGKg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecOJblWbGKg[/url]
  12. I did a duo gig with a Brazilian singer guitar player and wasn't actually that comfortable with the sounds we were making. I did, however, record the gig on my new Zoom H1 and, listening back to it this morning, it is surprisingly tight and, in places, grooves like a mofo.
  13. I am probanly going to go down in flames for saying it but are loopers the only means by which ERB players can justify the extended range? Without them, they rarely seem to use anything but the middle bit of the range which they would have had access to on an off the peg 5 string.
  14. Yeah - 'we didn't submit an entry because we split up over musical differences' PS got a Zoom H1 yesterday so this opens up the options for me (i.e. if I can write tune for my trio and get it played within a month, I can record it and submit that way).
  15. GK MB150S - people use them be ause they are light. They sound sh** but at least you can take them on Ryanair as hand luggage. Plus one for Carlsboro Cobra. Carlsboro Cobblers more like...
  16. [quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1369226736' post='2086542'] An excuse to post this: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF0VaBxb27w"]https://www.youtube....h?v=FF0VaBxb27w[/url] [/quote] There is no excuse to post that....
  17. They're props, guys. This is Basschat, not Fantasy Island

    Can't get gigs!

    These is hard times for live music....
  19. This is so bad, it's brilliant.... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MoWQSe3txY[/media] This, on the other hand, is just bad. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo70WEsap1c"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo70WEsap1c[/url]
  20. It's because recording the electric is easier; one lead vs mics, pre-amps, leads from the car etc etc. The learning is the same, whatever I play it on.
  21. If you are trying to do research for a biography on anyone who is over 30, EVERYBODY is a great loss.
  22. It's a simple idea: if you don't know what note you are going to play, how can you hit it on the money? I have the same issue myself. Ps:I couldn't do that run on a double bass
  23. Here's my lessthe perfect attempt.... http://snd.sc/10LCp74
  24. Prefer the alt take. The intonation thing sounds like a lack of confidence in what note you are actually intending to play. As if the indecision is manifested in the note itself. Confidence can leave you sounding more centred.
