la bam

Well, here's a weird one... Thisnis a jazz I bought a bit ago - never seen or heard of these, or even where you'd get the logo. Looks cool though. Mojo without imitation.

I've regularly gigged Harley benton, squier, fenders, vintage.... anything. If it sounds good, then it's good enough. However... I do have to say for auditions for bands and jobs, I've always found turning up with that Fender logo really does help (although it shouldn't). To other people it's much more than just a logo. It boosts your chances before you've even played a note. Again, unfortunate, but just what I've found.

Tonex.

Picked one of these up recently. Yep. Very nice. Lovely smooth neck, lovely dimensions to it. Pickups sound lovely. Tone pot has a lot of width in it, plenty of tones. Tuners work great. Its lightweight. Yep. Very nice indeed. Absolutely no need for any higher priced precision.

Haha, yep, always happens. I've had load of synth pedals. All lasted about a month before being passed on again Still, I know I'll end up with one of these (however briefly)

2 quick questions on this!? 1. Does it have a footswitch for one and off? Ie like a stomp box? 2. Can the presets be overwritten with your own creations/tweaks? Thanks.

I much preferred guigsy on bass. More melodic and bass like. When Andy Bell took over (no disrespect to him) it just sounded like noel (as a guitarist) had written all the bass lines, but in a guitarist style. No contrast between guitars and bass. They didn't do anything for me after guigsy.

He used to have a sunburst p years back. From memory the famous(ish) picture with the green and blue striped top he has one.... I only remember as I used to be in an oasis tribute and spent ages trying to find that top!

The irony that they are inspiring youngsters to pick up guitars, basses and drums and play live...... Just as most of the physical shops selling them have shut down.

Rod was OK to be fair. I thought he did well and he looked like he enjoyed it which rubbed off on the crowd. I can't understand with a catalogue as big as his why he started with 3 ones that nearly lost everyone?? Then kicked into gear... Also, the interludes were confusing to say the least. Songs written and performed by other people originally now being sung by female singers whilst he was off stage?? And to bring on help when he needed a rest - 65 year old mick hucknell and 70 odd year old lulu! I thought Ronnie did great and he looked like he was loving it!

Turned on briefly and the prodigy were on... Gees they've got some energy!!

Yes we've done that at our previous gigs, but certain sound guys want full control on their own equipment etc

Morning all. Our band is all iems. We go straight into our own mixer and do our own sound. However, we are now lining up a tour where we will be going through the venues sound guy and pa. Is there any way you all use where we can keep our iems and mixes etc but send a separate feed for each instrument to the sound guy/foh. Like an xlr splitter etc? Does anyone have any experience with these or similar?

Cheers. Some good points to think about there from all. Thanks.

OK hold on... there seems to be some people waking up angry this morning for no reason.... vain seems to be being mentioned a lot....quit playing etc etc.... I'm the least vain person out there I wear prescription glasses for driving as its my longer vision that is slightly off, so that takes care of that. I can then see perfectly. Close up I'm absolutely fine, what I'm not fine with is tiny small pedal displays on my zoom ms60b+ which is the size of a normal boss pedal on a dark stage with awkward colour contrasts, and the angle it is shown. So I have the juxtaposition of the glasses would probably be fine for reading the pedal and set list, but absolutely awful for playing the bass, as it would look all out of perspective, ie a lot closer to me and larger than it actually is. The question is/was relating to what ideas/tricks/methods do people use when father time starts catching up. Ie larger screen displays, higher screens, audio cues, different straps.. .. Etc
