    They won't be learned as such, more charted or transcribed then seat of the pantsed if they get called.

     

    Mamma Mia- Abba 

    If it makes you happy - Sheryl Crow 

    Wrecking Ball - Miley Cyrus 

    Hot to Go- Chappelle Roan 

    Pink Pony Club - Chapelle Roan

    Wagon wheel - Darius Rucker

    All along the watchtower - Jimi Hendrix

     

    Suffice it to say I've only heard of two of them.

    I just bought an M-Vave page turner. Using it with Adobe reader for PDF cribsheets, I was initially struggling but I needed to switch the reader settings to View | Single page and then put the turner into Android landscape mode. What apps are others with the Lekato and M-Vave page turners ( @fleabag, @stewblack, anyone else?) using them with?

    I use mine with iReal Pro and Mobile Sheets

    it is the start of a slippery slope

    Not going to join the debate other than to say I feel we've passed that point and are already in free fall.

    It's just too damn exciting to computer people and to much fun for punters.

     

    New Zoom Multi FX: the MS-60B+

    I've joined the club today, yesterday in fact, but tried it only this morning.

     

    Took no time to get an excellent sound for my fretless basses starting with the emulation of an Acoustic 370 tweaked to my liking adding a slight touch of reverb with their Room Reverb and closing the patch with their Noise Reduction.

     

    I tried this patch through my calibrated IK Multimedia monitors and a HeadRush FRFR 112 MkII active speaker: I'm really amazed by this quite cheap pedal and the many excellent tones it delivers.

     

    I tried every effect available and they all sound quite decently out of the box which is another great bonus, and rare enough to be mentioned.

     

    I'll compare this Zoom to my my HeadRush Core, but I'm quite confident about the answer.

     

    The funny thing is that I bought the Zoom MS-60B+ to simply have a correct tone when playing through my soundcard, but found myself instantly in love with this amazing pedal, because it sounded so good.

    I've loved all my Zoom pedals to varying degrees, but this one is particularly good.

    As you say it's so easy to get a great sound.

    Come on @stewblack … I couldn’t make it past the second note … 

    well I switched off even before I clicked PLAY …

    well I decided I didn’t want to listen even before Rush formed 

    … I had decided that before they were all even born…

    I am in no rush for another multi effects unit, but this looks good.

    Once they begin to appear second hand and after the RRP has dropped, I'll be interested

    How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by stewblack

    Don't usually get to post in this thread as I don't rehearse in my regular bands.

    However we lost yet another member in my Trigger's broom of a Glam band so arranged a night to audition drummers.

    Four applicants all agreed to learn some tunes so we hired a room, a kit and scheduled them in over a four hour rehearsal.

    Three dropped out at the last minute for a number of exciting and creative reasons leaving us stuck with the bill and only one guy to see.

    I didn't feel particularly positive.

    But mark the sequel! The guy was great. Established a rapport with him almost immediately. He had his eyes on me for cues, played really well, and even busked Hell Raiser having not learned it.

    Anyone who has played any Sweet song knows the structures are never straightforward but he was spot on.

    It's really VERY cool! 😍👌 I was most excited about the fact the jack sockets light up, never seen that before! Really is a killer amp, sounds fantastic and super tweakable.

    I will need to shift a couple of things but if it hasn't gone I'm definitely interested.
