I think my logic with the jam man will work fine for my band. It will be used for intros and stuff e.g. Spoken word samples so timing isnt an issue. Ill sell my Headrush and buy one of these i think. Cheers for all teh advice

Clearly a more common problem than I realised.

You can trigger loops of midi and audio via a midi foot controller, or arrange your structure and just press play. You can also route a click to your drummer and not FOH to keep time. I use it a lot, and it is the shiznit. Dan[/quote] Thats a potential long term option. Really want something just out of teh box... but i guess that woudl be expensive.

We had a keyboard player who was great but didnt like playing live. I think MIDI is the only way agreed.

Ive got a micro korg and a yamaha piano which we (teh band) are toying with using live, howvere im the only one who an play the half decently. What we have thought about doing is recording teh bits we want and triggering them using a sampler or similar means... but ideally dont wanna spend mega money to do this. What are our best options ladies and gents? We are not planning on running a laptop at the moment for a few reasons so want whatever medium we use to actually just turn up, play when triggred and stop when triggered, ideally by foot control.

Take cocktail stick in one hand Take plate of sausages in the other hand Decide which of the many sausages takes you fancy Insert cocktail stick in sausage Transport sausage to mouth, being careful not to stab yourself with the stick. Repeat as necessary Oh, you mean for repairing the hole ? Cut/break a couple of sticks so they are slightly shorter than the depth of the hole Dribble some PVA wood glue into hole Insert sticks ( no need to jam the hole full of sticklets, in fact this would be bad. 2 should do unless it's in a bad way ) Wipe away excess glue Allow to dry Screw screw back in. Go back to sausages[/quote] Cheers.. just cooking teh sausages now!

OK, cocktail sticks it is and with Xmas being here I should have plenty of supply. Any suggestions of how t use them? Cheers

Thanks for the response. Ill post when ive tried the repair

[quote name='Adrenochrome' post='361267' date='Dec 22 2008, 06:26 PM']I don't know how expensive the bass you want to repair is but I fixed a cheap Tanglewood by filling the hole with polyfilla, then before it set I screwed in the strap button and left it for a couple of days. The repair has lasted 5+ years.[/quote] Its my BB614... not bothered about the cost of the guitar as teh bass is a bit battered and will eventually be replaced by a Rick. Somone suggested glueing in a broken match and using that effectively as filler... anyone got any thoughts on that?

Has anyone else had a problme where the screw into teh body of your bass has worn itself loose and opened up teh whole? If so, I'd love to know how you "repaired" it? My strap lock wobbles around teh hole now and my strap can come off mid playing!! Cheers Dan

Had a hiccup with the postman but Esholl did everyhting he could to help. Great communication and now ive got the pedal. Muchas Gracias
