He is indeed the Far East Bass Priest.

Used it for a gig on Saturday. No issues with dropping out or interference, no change in volume or tone that I noticed, but, I think the latency might be an issue. A couple of times I had a feeling of being out of time even I though I was playing in time, Mirror in the Bathroom was a particular struggle, and another but, I wasn't 'feeling it' at Saturdays gig, I don't know why but it could've been me and not the wireless. No gig next weekend but we've got two the following week so I'll persevere and see how it goes.

I'll also add Transmission by Joy Division.

No me neither but yes, pretty sure it's just D from start to finish.

There's a Shaftsbury 12 string in the same colour as the bass above. Obviously I can't link to it but the listing title might be something like 'Vintage Copy (some numbers a tiny bit higher than 329-11)12-string Electric Guitar? Project Japan Copy', or similar. It's in America though.

Here's a thread about an Antoria jazz bass from a few years ago, the pictures are now missing but there's some info that might be of interest.

I know, that'll save me having to delete them 👍

He only started using it for this purpose and it cost him a tenner a month. It hasn't done what we wanted how we wanted so we're not using it. WeTransfer seems to be doing what we want how we want for free so we are using it. Granted I wasn't using Dropbox in the way it's meant, but there's enough free file sharing sites out there not to have to bother with one you don't like. I don't like Jazz basses, it doesn't mean they don't work or aren't any good, just that they don't seem to offer what I'm after so I don't use them. 🙂

So does ignoring Dropbox and using WeTransfer 😉

The drummer has bought a hard drive just for band stuff so doesn't need the extra storage, or want to pay a tenner a month for it. He'll keep the files on that and just share via WeTransfer as, at the mo, it really does seem very user friendly. The expiring in seven days thing is actually better I think as none of us will want to go back and listen to a random complete set from months ago, any individual songs that get mixed properly can be saved to individual devices if wanted but will end up on social media where they can be accessed in the future anyway. The drummer is retired and likes the mixing side of things so we let him get on with it, a relative of his works in music production of some sort and has mixed some recordings previously with great results as well, so we'll just get sent tracks with a "what do you think of this?" he'll always have the master files so it won't matter if ours disappears. It looks like you can save stuff to the app anyway if you want to keep stuff. We'll use it and see how it goes. Thanks everyone, hopefully I'm all sorted. 👍

Dropbox subscription cancelled and app deleted 👍

Can't be arsed farting around with memory cards and other random stuff to lose. Dont need to compare out front with anything, this is only to keep anything worthwhile and mix it properly hence recording all the channels, everything goes through the PA, we also have our own soundman to worry about FOH changes as venue fills up. I've re read that and it comes across a bit harsh, not meant in that way at all. 🙂

@mcnach, you've already sealed pClouds fate by saying similar to Dropbox. I've already had to upgrade Dropbox earlier tonight, albeit a free months trial, still can't clear the drummer's files from my Dropbox, too complicated, life's too short, yada yada. WeTransfer was up and running with files sent and and received with no issues within minutes. We have a winner.

Drummer has just sent a link to the Dropbox folder which works as you say @pineweasel but I still can't get rid of his other stuff without deleting it from his folder, maybe deleting every and starting again would work but it's just unnecessarily difficult. He also sent it via WeTransfer, clicked big button in email, which opened it in the app, files play from app, each file has a drop down menu to delete, save etc. Well done WeTransfer, bad luck Dropbox. Thanks everyone

Thanks @pineweasel, I won't pretend to really understand how a lot of this stuff works, it bores me stupid, I just need something that works easily. But your post makes perfect sense of the issue.

Yes, that's the problem. He's paid the subscription so has more storage but he's just sent yesterdays gig and I can't open it as it says my Dropbox is full, even though it's actually his, kind of. I don't want to try moving it or anything because I think whatever I do I'm actually editing his folder. I saw that and that seems like the perfect solution. I don't really want to keep anything, just have a quick listen to certain parts/tracks. If we decide to keep anything mix/master and 'put out there' then we can decide that within seven days and the drummer can keep that file. The auto seven day deletion thing means the rest of us don't have to really do anything so sounds perfect. Thanks 🙂

Thanks for the replies. Typically the drummer will send four files after each gig, first set and second set, both with all channels separate (so he can mix if we keep one) and two channel FOH mix. The two FOH mixes are small at around 3.5MB each but the pair with all channels is usually around 130MB, so it soon mounts up. The main issue with Dropbox is it won't let me delete anything that's sent to me, I only need to listen through and see what's worth keeping, sometimes just listen to certain songs I know weren't great and scrutinise what went wrong, then delete it all. I won't need a lot of storage as long as I can delete afterwards. I'll look into the suggestions. 👍

We've been using the xr18 mixer for a long time now but recently our drummer has started recording every gig so we can get some good live recordings, it's also good to hear yourself from the audience perspective as things you don't notice live stand out when listened back. It records every channel individually so it can be mixed post recording, so as you can imagine, each set is a significant size file. He has been sharing via Dropbox but now my app says it's full and I can't delete anything as they're not my files, I just have access to view them. I did delete some thinking they were in my Dropbox but that deleted them from everybodys. I don't have a computer (the day I threw that in the tip was a liberating day) and don't want to download the files to my tablet or phone due to size. The only way I can see to proceed with Dropbox is to sign up but that means four of paying a tenner a month each, nearly £500 a year. What other ways is there to share large files like this without paying through the nose for it?

Indeed, more F art than F sharp.

I'd say give it a go, but, play with your EQ. I don't slap really, but when I have it always sounded quite bad, very harsh and not pleasant on the ears. Then a few years back I bought a Yamaha Magicstomp and while going through the previous owners presets I came across a slap setting, suddenly my slap sounded amazing. I didn't improve my technique obviously but it made my simple octave type lines sound sooo much better. It must just be EQ and compression but it's great.

I stand corrected 🙂

That third pickup's doing nothing!

You could buy me a Takemine tb-10 if you're stuck for something to buy. 😉
