I use an extension. Very cheap for a 3m one. Couple of quid eBay. 

I know a lot of people are feeling the musical block. I am too. My music friends too. I have a lot of ideas but I haven’t had the energy or motivation to perform them. I think it’s just the run up to Xmas and NY. I hate it. 

How about I bend over, you stuck your hand up my anus and when you want me to play, just tickle my colon. 

I would go for the boss like a BAWS

Are we watching the same video?

All I hear is a way of making a couple of decent guitars sound like a Casiotone put through a cheap fuzz box.

 But it’s all the rage! All hipsters are doing this now ! 

I’d slap a limiter in the chain. Or just use the compressor and squash the whole signal regardless of what’s going into it.

Anything that you put on your fingers to make them slippery is going to shorten the life of your strings.

I'm a bit OCD about having clean hands when I am playing plus I point a fan at my fingers so they don't sweat in the first place and keep a clean microfibre towel nearby to give my hands a periodic wipe inbetween tunes

I’ve seent a lot of musicians have the towel to wipe down after each track. I remember seeing some band I forget but the bass guy was the sweatiest chap I’ve ever seen. Dripping all over the stage and he had a full on set of hand towels for his gear lol. Mate u playin or giving it a bath? “You wear it very well, now go play it like a f@cking musician!” - m.hannet - 24hr party people 

Learn your favourite tracks from now that’s what I call music volumes 46 to 156.

Coily cables ! For the stretch 

I think it’s a resounding yes. Yes you are a musician. It’s all well n good if you know how to read music, totally worthless if you can’t play any of this reading of music. 

I would use two items. A Y splitter like a Morley one and a digitech trio plus. Those two items will do and are within specification. The trio plus will be the expensive part. You could cheap out and buy a Mooer looper for 40 quid and the splitter for 20-30.

yes I've noticed people don't leave feedback like they used too, but it rings alarm bells when there's very little, the only bad experience I had on ebay was from someone with very low feedback, and if it's zero stay well away.

As far as fees are concerned I try and wait for one of their sell for £1 days, as I did this time, and you do tend to get a better price, far bigger market

eBay is riddled with bots. Especially in the electrical section. Selling any piece of computer hardware on there you’ll catch a bot. Not really sure why they are on there. Maybe to game /manipulate the market idk. 

Feedback is bs on eBay. It doesn’t really mean much these days. Maybe back around 15-20 years ago but now it’s the big boys from China drop shipping everything. Your average joe will likely try gumtree first then eBay as a last resort because of the fees and time wasters. Selling anything these days is a pain in the brown bullet hole. 

JMB is like 80% dreamers and time wasters. I sometimes reply to ads just to see what their angle is. 

Im pretty sure there’s a thread about dreamers on JMB somewhere on bc. The content in that thread is top notch quality.

For me the actual music comes first and the musicians who play it it a long way down the order certainly behind the songwriting/composition, production and image.

I don't care how "good" a musician you are if I don't like the music that you play, you are IMO using your powers for evil and consequently of no interest to me.

Pretty much this. I listen to music for texture. I think it’s just the way I am built. I DJ a lot so knowing the music texture(key tempo/overall fit) is just second nature to me 

like for example when a song with lyrics is presented, I generally ignore what they are singing about and listen to more of the tune and how the chords and instruments have been put together. It’s loke I’m lyrically blind. I know the tune but the actual words could be anything to me. Strange I know. I’ve looked up lyrics of songs before and have been like haha ahhh that’s what they’re singin about 😅

Sounds like pete and ringo early Beatles all over again hah

maybe they reigned it in a bit to make the battery stretch some more. So kids can pump their their tunes for longer but quieter lol

If something is unclear then I would tend to contest or challenge it. 

I would have thought near the stringz😂

Yeah, I've thought about checking out some behringer. And the squealing pig sounds is what I'm after! I thought it was cool how when I turned it on it could go from fuzzy bass to feedback by just muting the strings. 

Well if you want squealing pig sounds then distortion and od with feedback. I think boss did a DF1 or something like that yellow or orange box that was a distortion feedbacker. You hold the pedal and it sustains the note or whatever.  

Hmm If I was in your position I would explore the cheap end of the scale with budget gated fuzz pedals. I’m sure behringer has something in their ever growing catalogue. 

The gated part will stop the squealing pig sounds

Indeed, it's not linear. Going up an octave corresponds to a doubling in frequency. Most guitars are tuned using twelve tone equal temperament, which means each semitone corresponds to multiplying the frequency by the 12th root of 2 - approximately 1.05946.

S.P.

IEMS. all the way. I’ll use anything between the £5-£40 range. Some are better than others some are crap. Just get on YouTube and you’ll find plenty of suggestions. 

Luck of the draw. Could happen w any other courier. The imports ups do too. They are big company but have their own idiots too !

Have your set up ready to go and have fun. You have to assess them too so do watch for changes and how they sound together.
