Er, thanks. I think. I can be round in about twenty minutes if you're sure it'll help 😕

WHAT????!!!!????
-
I got them to tune mine in the shop when i bought it....
-
I suggested that you could be boring instead... 😁
-
The word "angry" is redundant in that sentence... Just kidding. I don't mind a bit o'banjo now and again - although i find it best enjoyed in moderation 😀
-
Hee hee. In my case, it means "learn". Then get distracted, forget, learn again, sleep, forget... Rinse and repeat...

Agreed, unless it's done with grace and humour. And a combination of autocorrect and small keyboards is often to blame for the error in the first place

Thank you.... Right, back to it.....

Aaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!

Fellow BC-ers, can I ask you to please stop posting on the forum for a few days? I have to learn a set of audition pieces for a gig that i really would like to get and you lot are all distracting me from practising. Between Off Topic, General Discussion and the market place, I'm spending time on here which should be spent learning new stuff. So, can you all please quiet down for a few days? (Thinking about it, some of these pieces are a bit challenging - give me a week at least...) Alternatively, just try to be a bit boring while i get my head round these things.... Thank you for understanding
-
That line is a perfect little gem. Thank you

I was pretty much a musical snob until I turned fifty and actually learned to play an instrument. Up to that point my musical tastes ended around 1977 and were heavily prog and folk influenced. I studiously avoided anything American, metal, punk, funk, pop or disco - and generally any song less than twenty minutes long. Learning to play an instrument and joining a band made me open my ears to a lot of classic albums I'd missed first time round and I'm now listening to things I would have burned thirty years ago. I shudder at the memory of being such an opinionated kn@b for all those years (still a kn@b, mind, just with fewer entrenched opinions). I wish I'd had a teacher like Muzz's....

And the White Heather Club. Whatever that was... some kind of Scottish Supremacist paramilitary outfit perhaps?

Whatever you’re all on, can I have some?

Tim bought a Zoom R24 from me. A smooth and straightforward transaction with a very laid back guy who was a pleasure to deal with throughout. Recommended!

REDUCED TO £70 inc postage via 48 hour courier. I bought this new a couple of years ago and used it at exclusively at home. It’s in excellent condition and full working order and comes boxed with the original power supply. I’ve misplaced the manual but these are easy to find online. The mixer is available for collection in North-East Lincolnshire or I am happy to post within the UK for £10.00 (POSTAGE NOW INCLUDED). Please get in touch to discuss other options. Thanks for looking – any questions, please drop me a note. Here's what a quick Google search had to say about the Yamaha MG102C... “This Compact Mixer Gives You Big Performance! The Yamaha MG102c 10-channel compact mixer puts big-mixer quality into a handy and affordable small format! Many real-world mixing applications only involve a few channels, so a small mixer is the obvious choice. But no matter how simple the setup, you'll always want first-rate audio quality and processing capability. The MG102c is ideal for live sound applications, offering excellent sound quality, flexibility, and ease-of-use, along with some advanced features you normally wouldn't find in this type of compact mixer. So whether you need a compact main mixer, or a secondary utility mixer for a larger application, the MG102c is a great choice. Yamaha MG102c at a Glance: Easy-access Connector Panel Four High-performance Microphone Preamplifiers with Switchable Phantom Power Built-in Channel Compressors 3-band Channel EQ and High-pass Filter Stereo, Control Room, Monitor, and Headphone Outputs 10-input Channel Configuration The MG102c has a total of 10 input channels. Two of the stereo channels can be used as mono microphone inputs, providing a total of four microphone inputs when necessary. Gain trim covers a wide -60dB to -16dB range for microphone input, and -34dB to +10dB for line input. Easy-access Connector Panel Top-mounted input and output connectors make setting up and re-patching your system quick and easy. The MC102c sports high-quality Neutrik balanced XLR connectors on both mono microphone/line channels and two of the stereo channels. The XLR-equipped stereo channels can accept mono microphone input either via the XLR or phone jack connectors. The two stereo channels on the MG102c provide phone jack and pin jack connectors for compatibility with a wide range of sources. The two mono input channels also feature insert I/O connectors that let you patch external signal processing gear into those channels as required. Separate pin-jack 2TR inputs are provided to accept the output from a CD player or similar stereo source. Four High-performance Microphone Preamplifiers with Switchable Phantom Power Microphone preamplifiers are critical in any mixer, and a performance bottleneck in many. That's why pros often spend thousands of dollars on just a single channel of microphone pre-amplification. The microphone preamps built into the MG mixers inherit technology from Yamaha's professional consoles, and have been painstakingly designed to deliver superior sonic performance with any dynamic or condenser microphone. All four microphone preamps also feature switchable phantom power so you can take advantage of the natural, extended response of high-quality condenser microphones. A single switch turns phantom power on or off for all four channels. Built-in Channel Compressors This advanced feature can be a tremendous advantage in achieving great vocal sound. It can also be used to refine the sound of bass, guitar, and other sources. You won't find built-in channel compression on too many other mixers in this class, but in the MG82cx and MG102c you have Yamaha's innovative one-knob compression feature on mono input channels 1 and 2. Conventional audio compressors with their threshold, ratio, knee, makeup gain and other controls can be complex and time-consuming to set appropriately for a given source. Yamaha's one-knob compressor eliminates the need for an engineering degree with a single control that lets you simply dial in the amount of compression you want. 3-band Channel EQ and High-pass Filter Building a truly useful, musical-sounding channel equalizer is no easy task, but Yamaha has decades of experience in building pro consoles to draw on, and you reap the benefits in the MG-series mixers. Channels 1, 2, 3/4, and 5/6 feature full 3-band equalizers with LOW, MID, and HIGH controls. Stereo, Control Room, Monitor, and Headphone Outputs Located above the mixer's master controls, on the convenient easy-access connector panel, are the main stereo output connectors, phone-jack monitor output connectors, pin-jack recording outputs, and a stereo headphone jack. They may be compact, but these mixers offer plenty of connectivity for a wide range of applications. Yamaha MV102c Features: 10-inputs 2-bus 2 mic mono, 2 mic/line stereo, 2 line stereo inputs Single-knob compression on 2 channels 3-band EQ on mic input channels Specifications Channels Qty (for SD) 10-channel Frequency Response 20 Hz - 20 kHz Mic Phantom Power 48 V Control Types knobs Headphones Output Yes Meter Indicator 2 x LED level meters (7 segments) Features built-in channel compressors, headphone output volume control, monitors volume control, switchable Low Cut input filters Channel Description Mic Channels 4 mono Mic Channels Connector XLR Line Channels 10 mono Line Channels Connector RCA x 2, phone stereo 6.3 mm EQ Band Qty 3 AUX Channels 2x channel inserts, AUX Return, AUX Send, Monitor Out, Tape In, Tape Out Dimensions & Weight Widht: 10.1 in Depth: 11.9 in Height: 2.4 in Weight: 3.31 lbs”

Mike just bought a Yamaha acoustic amp from me. It’s the second time I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with him and, as before, found him to be a complete gentleman throughout what was a very easy and straightforward transaction. Negotiation was easy, payment was prompt and he let me know when the item was delivered and that all was well with it. in summary then, the perfect example of a transaction in the Bass Chat Marketplace. Thanks Mike!

Now sold The Great Clearout continues and She Who Must Be Obeyed has said that it's time to list the next item... I bought this new about five or six years ago. It’s in mint condition, full working order and comes boxed with the original power supply, software disk and instructions plus a 16GB SD card (not the 1GB card that is shown on the packaging). I mainly used this as an Audio Interface and Control Surface (Sonar X1) and, because it was sat on the desk (and because I don’t get round with the Hoover as often as I should), I had a custom cover made for it to keep the dust off (and stop it getting onto the sliders, etc). I’m including this plus a dedicated Zoom R16/R24 soft case (normally £25.00) which is also in excellent condition. I also used this occasionally as a portable recorder to record rehearsals of new numbers. The eight separate inputs meant I could use this as a DI and Mixer for all the instruments and send a stereo line feed out to the PA. Record the new song at rehearsal, ten minutes to mix down different versions for each of us (no guitar, no vox, no bass, etc) and we could all rehearse our own parts at home during the week. Simples! I even used it to record the occasional gig and the built-in mics are really impressive – very similar performance to the Zoom handheld recorders we also used on occasion. Now that I’ve relocated and left the band, I don’t need it for recording purposes and I’ve upgraded all of my home recording stuff so this is now surplus to requirements. It’s a brilliant bit of kit that will handle pretty much any job. It’s available for collection in North-East Lincolnshire or I am happy to post within the UK for £10.00. Please get in touch to discuss other options. Thanks for looking – any questions, please drop me a note. Details are below but first, here's some pictures; Here's what a quick Google search turned up about the Zoom R24... “The R24 can function as an audio interface supporting 8 inputs and 2 outputs, enabling direct input of sounds to a computer. Support for 24-bit/96-kHz encoding ensures high-quality sound and 8 inputs and 2 outputs can be used simultaneously. The internal DSP effects can be used when the sampling rate is 44.1 kHz. A dedicated knob lets you adjust the balance between the DAW playback sound and the direct input sound when monitoring. Control surface functions for most DAW software The R24 can be used as a control surface for DAW transport functions (play, record, stop) and mixing operations. You can easily move multiple faders at the same time, which is very difficult to do with a mouse! You can also assign the five function keys to various DAW software commands. Cubase, Logic, Sonar and other major DAW applications are supported in Mackie Control emulation mode. 24-voice sampler with 8 pads and 3 banks The built-in sampler functions allow you to use audio files on any tracks as loops. Play the pads in real-time and create performance for an entire track by combining loops. Use the display of the audio waveform for visual confirmation when setting loop intervals. Use time-stretching to change the tempo of a file without changing its pitch, and trim unneeded parts of loops. The sampler and recorder can be used together seamlessly, allowing you to record instrument performances while playing back loops on other tracks. Create your own beats with the powerful rhythm machine The R24 has a powerful drum machine with 10 types of drum kits that use linear PCM samples. With the touch sensitive drum pads, you can program your own original beats and save up to 511 of them. The rhythm patterns that you create can be used just like the audio loops. You can trigger patterns with the pads and use them in the unit's sequencer to arrange songs. The 472 preset patterns include intros, fills, endings and other phrase variations. (1) : Synchronization precision is accurate to about 1 to 2 msec. (2) : When using an R16 as the second unit, 16 tracks of simultaneous recording and 40 tracks of simultaneous playback are possible. Guitar amp modeling and other DSP effects total 150 types The DSP effects, which include 150 types and 390 patches, can be used for recording, mixing and mastering. Three types of effects - the insert effect and the two send-return effects - can all be used at the same time. You can achieve a powerful amp sound just by connecting a guitar or bass directly to the R24 and using one of the 18 types of guitar amp models or 6 types of bass amp models that have been brought straight from our best-selling G2nu effects unit. You can also use the 8xCOMP EQ effect, which lets you apply compression and EQ to 8 channels simultaneously. Locate functions make editing easier Set up to 100 markers and directly move to them whenever you want. Other convenient editing functions include A-B repeat playback of a designated interval and auto punch-in and punch-out. Versatile inputs for guitars, mics and line sources The R24 can handle a variety of input sources. The unit is equipped with 8 input jacks that accept both XLR and standard phone connectors, including 6 that can supply phantom power, allowing the use of multiple condenser microphones for serious multi-mic recording. Use the channel with a Hi-Z switch to input electric guitars, basses and other high impedance instruments. Supports SDHC cards with capacities of up to 32GB The R24 uses compact and readily-available SD and SDHC memory cards as recording media. Unlike tape and disc recorders, this unit has no motor, making it more resistant to external vibrations and eliminating concerns about mechanical noise. USB 2.0 Hi-Speed for fast file transfer The R24 USB 2.0 Hi-Speed port allows WAV files recorded by the R24 to be transferred to a computer quickly and easily. Computer-based tasks, such as editing audio with DAW software, creating original CDs and importing WAV files, can be integrated into your music production. USB host port for connecting USB memory USB flash drive or large-capacity external hard disk drive can be plugged into the R24's USB host port. This lets you distribute recordings to band members after a rehearsal and make backups of recordings without a computer. Features 24-track playback, 8-track simultaneous recording Built-in stereo condenser microphones Records directly to SD and SDHC cards up to 32 GB for up to 100 track hours Records mono and stereo WAV files (16 / 24-bit, 44.1 / 48 kHz sampling rates) Eight balanced mic/line/instrument-level inputs on XLR/TRS combo connectors 1 Low-Z input for connection of passive electric guitar and bass +24 and +48V phantom power (6 channels) Dual balanced ¼" TRS output jacks Headphone output with dedicated volume control Built-in metronome and chromatic tuner More than 100 send-return and insert DSP effects, including amp/preamp models and mastering algorithms User editing of effects parameters, with 390 patch memories for storage Independent level, pan, and EQ for each track Internal track bouncing and mixdown of multitrack to stereo Flexible overdubbing and both manual and automatic punch-in/out Loop playback with waveform zoom and user-defined start/stop points Variable playback speed from 50% to 150%, without affecting pitch Up to 100 marks per recording Invert track phase function Trim and Divide file editing 24-voice pad sampler (3 banks of 8 pads) with adjustable pad sensitivity Rhythm machine with 160 drum and percussion sounds Storage for 100 user-created rhythm patterns of up to 100 bars each Manual play or step entry of rhythm patterns with adjustable quantization Loop-based audio sequencer integrates recorder, rhythm machine, and pad sampler Backlit LCD with contrast control for easy viewing in low-light environments 4-segment LED metering 8-in/2-out USB audio interface for Macintosh/Windows computers High-definition 24-bit/96 kHz playback capability with DAW software Control Surface functionality (Mackie Control emulation) Full mixing and transport controls for Cubase, Logic, Ableton Live, and other DAWs Two R24s can be synchronized via USB for 48 tracks of playback and 16 tracks of simultaneous recording USB bus power SD card reader function Runs on 6 AA batteries, with alkaline battery life of more than 4.5 hours AC adapter included Steinberg Cubase LE DAW software included R24 USB Audio Interface System Requirements Windows: Windows XP SP2 or later / Vista SP1 or later / 7 Intel Pentium 4 1.8GHz or better 1GB RAM or more USB 2.0 compatible port.

I did find another, older, feedback thread for Mike so don’t think this is the full extent of his feedback. That said, everyone seems to be of the same opinion - that dealing with Mike is straightforward and fuss-free - and that’s certainly been my experience. I sold him a Korg padKONTROL MIDI controller and the whole process has been easy. Comms were good, the price was mutually acceptable and payment was prompt. Deal with confidence.
