Thanks guys ill download it and give it a whirl.

Hi peeps, I have the peavy ampkit interface and am using the amplitube free app. All in all it's pretty good, however if I just want to jam along to a random track I have to import it from iTunes. Annoying, yes if I had to slow down the track or loop a certain part I can understand this to be all part of the functionality process. But the ability just to jam along to any track without having to import them would be heaven. I have seen a number of forums stating conflicting conclusions on the full paid version, some saying in the full version You can do Exactely this play along to any in the iTunes library without having to import and the others saying the opposite! Gr... Understand there are other apps like ishred that allow you to this. Anyone know for sure? I'm I missing a trick? Thanks Tony

Thanks Risingson, tried one of those powerball things before and it was hard trying to get it to work. My mate has one so will ask to borrow it, see if I can get it working this time round. I'll take it all onboard and hopefully work towards being crampless(is that a word? If it ain't it should be!) Cheers Tony

Thank god it ain't just me. Ive just got back from gigging tonight and probably had my worst gig ever. Second set just went totally pear shaped. Severe cramp in my fretting hand, pinky and middle finger totally locked together. Had this happen a couple of times previously but have always managed to shake it off pretty much immediately. Tonight was a different story, wanted the ground to swallow me up. Now I do have quite small hands and fingers and as a side thought wondering perhaps I need to change to a shorter neck, although ive been playing long scale for donkeys years. I don't know perhaps I need to go back to basics and re-evaluate my technique and kick out the bad habits. Any more advice is welcome.

Hi, I've got one for sale: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/151622-pocket-rocket-headphone-amp-new-condition/page__fromsearch__1

[quote name='lobematt' post='1341702' date='Aug 16 2011, 11:41 AM']My dad is getting married and the wedding party is on 24th September. We had a little 3 piece lined up to play ( acoustic, double bass, keys) and they've just cancelled on us. I was wondering if anyone on here could take the gig? It's in Liverpool and I think they want a 2 hour set between about 5:30 and 7:30 and they're pretty easy on style of music, obviously no metal haha. Anyway, if anyone can do it let me know and I'll run it by them![/quote] Hi, My band are available. Weddings is all we do really. We're based in Lancashire but can travel if petrol covered in costs. www.wildhoneyband.co.uk Thanks Tony

[quote name='craigjf1969' post='186318' date='Apr 27 2008, 09:58 AM']Just lately mastered Sir Duke and most recently Hit Me with Your Rythmn Stick....and now i feel like i have got arthritis in my fingers [/quote] Both top bass lines. Groove on "hit me" is awesome.

Hi, I have been using elixirs for the last two years and like them, they feel slick and have lasted an absolute age without losing any tone. I have never tried the DR range of coated strings, I was looking at the silver stars as Im unsure of this coloured string thing, it just doesn't rock my boat! Also the DR Bootzillas, as they apparently are clear coated and have a bit more bite. Thoughts please, should I stick with the tried and tested or try the greener grass on the DR side. Cheers Tony

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='1357523' date='Aug 31 2011, 01:48 PM']I use one and it's great, very quick to pickup your note, perfect bypass and the visibility is excellent even in pitch black or outdoors. The size and build quality are big plus on a touring board. For reference I've owned Korg DT-10 Boss TU-2 Korg DTR-2000 Peterson Strobostomp 1 Peterson Strobostomp 2 Planet Waves[/quote] Wow that's a collection of quality tuners!

Hi peeps, I love my korg pitchblack and the visibility of the Led when on stage, however the tracking on the Turbo Tuner is lightening fast. Looking at a few vids on this and it looks pretty good, wish the display was as clear and as distinguished as the pitchblack. Any thoughts?

[quote name='mike f' post='1351350' date='Aug 25 2011, 02:28 PM']I'd go; Korg Pitchblack tuner>EBS Octa Bass> Sansamp PB>EBS Bass IQ>EBS Unichorus>EBS Multi comp Clean signal into the Octave and a bit of dirt into the IQ. Give it a go![/quote] Interesting, Sansamp say the compression should be before it. Both comments so far have the octaver early in the chain which I haven't tried before, I suppose the tracking would be better. I'll give it a whirl.

Hi, Just about add a couple of new additions to my pedal board so I'm taking the opportunity to have a general spring clean. These are my pedals and the order I was thinking of putting them in the chain having read the sansamp booklet I'm a bit unsure where to stick the octaver. Korg Pitchblack tuner>EBS Multi comp> Sansamp PB>EBS Octa Bass>EBS Bass IQ>EBS Unichorus What do you think folks? Thanks Tony

[quote name='pietruszka' post='1349970' date='Aug 24 2011, 10:01 AM']Like a few people here, I put mine in at the start of the night and they don't come out until I get in the car to go home! I to was concerned as to which filters I needed, I went for the 15's, as a few people had told me the 25's are too much for 'normal' use. Unless you're playing for the damned stick with some 15's. For me they made gigging even more enjoyable, because it sounded like everything was turned down, you can enjoy the sound, but because everything is actually cranked up you can feel everything still! If Im going to a gig to watch, Ill take them. If Im going to a club, Ill take them. If Im going to a loud pub, Ill take them. Best musical investment. Dan[/quote] Well Dan, having read all the reponses on here and on other forums it appears the ER15's are a popular choice. So, I'm booked into to Boots on Friday to get some moulds done. Worth mentioning ,if you join their Priority club, which you can do when ordering and arranging the fitting it automatically allows you to take on advantage on the discounted offers, if this case it should save me £25, think they are coming in at £148.00 or thereabouts. Must admit i'm a bit wary but, i have to do it simples! I wanna rock till I die! I'll let everyone know my thoughts when i get them to a gig. Tony

Great response peeps. How do I determine which set is for me? Obviously £160 a throw I want it to be right first time, rather than buying filter after filter till I get there. I was looking for somewhere in my area colne,lancashire that may be able to assist. I fear if I get er25 I won't be able to hear a thing. Is there a retailer out there where you can try the varying types of filter?

Hi, I've been to the audiologist today, as I have been misinterpreting words recently. So thought not everyone can be talking sh1t. Turns out my earing has been shot at, lost 40% coverage in the high frequency range and it has been caused by noise exposure, ie playing in band for 25 years. I have been advised to prevent further damage to invest in some specialist ear plugs for musicians. Has anyone else suffered for hearing damage, earplug advice? I understand Proguard are one of the best earplugs out there? Cheers Tony
