  1. Digging this just now. The album is pretty funky.
  2. What BassTractor is trying to say is "Get a Moog". I agree. Get a Moog.
  3. Like is said earlier in the thread, but have pros & cons. I’ve got a 4x10 & a big valve amp. Looks & sounds great. Total pain in the butt to move about. I’d sooner have my markbass combo back. Here’s another option to consider... FRFR. I’m thinking about going down this route myself.
  4. Sorry, nothing from me this month (again).
  5. I’ve not had any latency issues. Just be aware of what software you have running & don’t overload the cpu.
  6. Yes. Safe to run through your bass amp. When I'm using mine, I take the lead from the pedalboard (which would normally go to the bass amp) & plug into the audio interface. I create a channel in Logic for the bass (you can do this in Ableton) & however many VST channels I want for synths, etc. I then take a cable from the output on the audio interface straight to the bass amp & another can go to the PA (mind make your DAW output mono). Oh, & 24k Magic is fun to play on the bass guitar too, just tune the bass to Eb.
  7. Not a Moog, but just before Xmas I played a gig with a few songs from the Greatest Showman. This Is Me was all synth. The Greatest Show was a mix of bass guitar & synth bass, great fun switching between them. Another fun song to play is 24k Magic. A bit of pitch bend wheel practice for you 😎 Don’t be afraid to grab those dials on the Moog whilst playing for some extra expression. The filter cut off is a good place to start.
  8. I’d this just for me? I don’t do either of these. Though I did excessively swear at a piper once.
  9. “Tie the shoelace like you were tying your shoes”. I take it he can’t tie his shoelaces in a bow, just a knot?
  10. Have you tried getting your TE head serviced?
  11. It’s in the basement of the electric guitar store.
  12. Add some sugar for abrasion to move the tough stuff.
  13. Did it! 😟 That's a shame. I've not been for a few years. Just googled. Permanently closed.
  14. There's also Red Dog Music, Scayles & Rimmers in Edinburgh (I think there's a Rimmers in Glasgow too). For Glasgow, there's Kenny's Music near Central Station & in Merchant City/Trongate there's GuitarGuitar, Merchant City Music & Strung Out (which is mostly 2nd hand instruments).
  15. Stumbled upon this by accident. Some sweet bass playing & gets pretty funky at 2:50.
  16. My valve amp only has an on/off switch. No "Standby".
  17. I just got one of these. Much less overspray.
  18. I use one when recording, but not live. If you're looking at getting a compressor, try & get one with a meter, it makes life sooo much easier.
  19. Fill the thing with shaving foam. 🕺🏻
  20. Stack em! 😎
  21. I agree that the Z matcher is not an ideal choice for matching a cab to an amp. I don’t agree that you need a minimum 300 watts. Though there’s plenty of threads about that already.
  22. For the gigging musician, go specialist (New Moon, Music Guard, Musician's Union, insure4music, etc. If you're willing to take the chance or just jam now & again, then getting cover under your home insurance may give you ample cover, but often only covers in a vehicle if in a locked boot & out of sight. I was covered with Blue Moon, but as I'm in the latter camp for the present, Home Insurance it is.
  23. Any usb mixer or audio interface is going to do exactly what you want. For a budget route, that mixer is a good choice, then in the future, if you get more into recording, you’ll have a better idea if it’s a mixer or interface that you require. Ped’s shout for GarageBand is a good one, not least for the bass amps on offer.
  24. It’s like a small guitar with the E & A strings missing & a capo on the 5th. Then the G string (which would have been the D string) is an octave up. Then the other uke is a bass uke. It’s tuned just like a bass guitar. You also get tenor, concert, super soprano & pineapple ukes, but they’re all pointless unless you’re playing in a ukulele band (which is also pointless).
