    [quote name='steantval' timestamp='1468424160' post='3090849'] Classic Rock bands at least use humans to do the drumming. [/quote] You should meet some of the drummers that I've met, you may reconsider that statement .

    I saw the video for the new bass on Facebook earlier. I really, really like his house, the bass looked like a Fender Jazz.

    [quote name='steantval' timestamp='1468353853' post='3090405'] Why bother, it's best left in the 80's IMO. [/quote] Could just as easy say classic rock should be left in the 70s. I think the main thing is the gear. It wouldn't look right with a MacBook and midi keyboard on stage. Real analog synths are expensive.

    I burned my finger and the carpet last time I tried 😂.

    Just a couple of weeks old. In like new condition. £25 including postage.

    This is really nice. It came installed in my Roscoe fretless 6 string from the factory. I just bought a John East preamp. It's a 4 control preamp, with black knobs. The controls are volume, pickup balance, stacked bass/treble, and there's a 2 band mid control. With the control in its normal position it affects one mid frequency, pull it outwards, and it affects another mid frequency. All controls are cut and boost. It's quite easy to install, just solder the pickups on, and solder the earth connection. All connections have been labelled for ease of re-installation. £35 including postage.

    Bump, and a final price drop. That's half price, it's 2 months old.

    Wouldn't you end up being able to see the wires and things ?

    The only one I've tried is the Phil Jones double 4, which is unfortunately out of your price range. Highly recommended though.

    Nice. I've been listening to Jonas Hellborg playing an acoustic bass recently. Pity it's not a 6 string fretless, I'd have been desperately trying to raise the funds.

    Soldering is a skill that I completely lack 😊.

    Is this him ? [url="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mj12-Percy-Jones/dp/B01C8UGW3S/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1468275185&sr=1-1&keywords=percy+jones"]https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mj12-Percy-Jones/dp/B01C8UGW3S/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1468275185&sr=1-1&keywords=percy+jones[/url]

    He did some lovely playing on the one Richard Barbieri album.

    [quote name='arpi' timestamp='1468221898' post='3089250'] Hello, everytime I see a Roscoe 3006 I ask myself if they have neckdive because of the relatively small body and the upper cutaway (doesen´t know the right expression in engl.) going only to the 13th fret. What´s the weight and the Stringspacing? Cheers Arpi [/quote] From my experience, they balance perfectly.

    I've used My hermes recently, they seem to have improved quite a lot.

    Train, have a day out, meet someone new.Train fare can be ridiculously cheap if you book in advance.

    Bump, and another price drop. Shipping OK, but at your expense.

    [quote name='zbd1960' timestamp='1468086001' post='3088553'] OK - I'm a 'classically' trained singer (but amateur). I don't do solo.... A lot of singers (not all) have no proper training in technique, which leads to straining of the vocal chords (in brief - tuned shouting rather than proper controlled vocal production). This means that the voice tires very quickly and is easily strained. So one option, is that their voice just isn't very robust due to poor technique. Thi can explain lots of sore throats etc. Alternatively, they've picked up a bug and you can't sing if you've got one - and there are plenty of those aroudn at the moment. [/quote] That's what I was going to say, there's a difference between a singer, and someone who can sing. Trained singers that I've worked with spend time slowly warming up before a performance, a bit like an athlete I guess.

    Nice, Roscoes are lovely basses. 😊

    [quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1467991202' post='3087920'] A good quality music stand like one below can double up as a laptop stand. The top part will lie back flat or at an angle with the lip stopping the lap top from sliding off. We use one for our PA mixer http://www.terralec.co.uk/other_stands/cobra_adjustable_music_stand/33216_p.html?gclid=Cj0KEQjwnv27BRCmuZqMg_Ddmt0BEiQAgeY1l2-KMgRUhUvo4pLyoleMr0mcdwCtto6gNJvTUxXpi7AaAs9O8P8HAQ [/quote] I used to use a stand like that as my effects table. I sit down for these gigs.I covered it in Velcro to hold the pedals on, it was great for that, it meant you could position it perfectly. I'm not sure that is fancy trusting my MacBook on one though tbh.

    Some photos. It also includes a pretty decent stand too. [attachment=223032:unnamed-1.jpg][attachment=223033:unnamed.jpg]

    [quote name='bigjohn' timestamp='1467994002' post='3087949'] How heavy is it? [/quote] 22kg that's not including its box. The keyboard itself is 135x35x14cm, again not including its box. That's from the M-audio website.

    [quote name='dood' timestamp='1467988045' post='3087883'] This one: [url="http://www.staggmusic.com/en/product_detail/cos_10_bk.html?backp=1"]http://www.staggmusi...bk.html?backp=1[/url] [/quote] That looks great thanks, I saw one of those earlier on Amazon. Even got a little bit for the interface to sit on .
