Just a basic loop pedal like a TC Ditto.

I've done a lot of that, here's my Bandcamp page. Reverb and delay with get you the right sort of sounds. I also use an ebow to create synth type pads. [url="https://an-ending-ascend.bandcamp.com/"]https://an-ending-ascend.bandcamp.com/[/url]

Yamaha, I use the HS8s. I tried KRKs a few years ago, they're particularly coloured, not really what I'd describe as being studio monitors.

Our gigs cancelled at request of 'name' tribute act
ambient replied to DaytonaRik's topic in General Discussion
I've never heard of them, but that may have something to do with my particular taste in music. Personally I'd tell the venue that you're not happy, and that you're going to speak to the MU about getting compensation. See if that does any good. -
Trades welcome for fretless 6 string basses. Plus cash to me. -
Some more photos. [attachment=214375:Roscoe 002_zpscckxp0al.jpg][attachment=214376:Roscoe 003_zpsuiylewqq.jpg]

A very reluctant sale. This is a fantastic example of Keith Roscoe's craftsmanship. It is in absolutely perfect condition, the action is the lowest of any bass that I've owned. Bought by me from on here in December last year. I'm selling to release some capital from it, and to purchase a similar fretless.

Still don't see why you'd play the D at the 5th fret of the E. If I was playing 8ths, (assuming that's what's going on, which is why I don't like TAB), I'd play the D,A bit using a fretted D at the 5th fret on the A string, then possibly the open A. Making it easier to mute the A string.
-
I'm puzzled as to why you'd play it like he/she does. Fretted A at the 5th fret, followed by fretted B, C, C# etc. Then play open A, and C, Bb on the A string. Notes are going to sound different tonally played on different strings, and different positions. Just play it all from 5th fret E string.
-
I thought they'd closed down.
-
I've never seen that shop before.
-
Sounds to me like they new it was a studio. They now know you have an alarm too.
-
Where was this 3 months ago 😄.

Watch your self in a mirror, or video yourself using your phone or laptop. Just to see if you're putting particular strain on your wrists. Make sure that you drink plenty of water too.

This is a great interface, in perfect condition. It received some amazing reviews when it was brought out. I'm only selling because I just bought an Apogee. It comes complete with the original packaging and the breakout cables. £150 including next day special delivery postage. [attachment=214051:Photo on 06-03-2016 at 16.03.jpg]

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1457250020' post='2996634'] No, a real one would play 7" singles [/quote] Or CDs, that's what I meant, it's what my friend had. Though it looked like an old fashioned real thing .

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1457228411' post='2996598'] I bought a jukebox, so a I listen to my CD's on that. [/quote] A real one ? I knew someone who had one in his music room. The first thing you saw when you went into his flat was pinball machine in the entrance hall, it looked very cool.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1457228686' post='2996599'] I ditched my separates for one of these: I don't understand the witchcraft employed in making something this small sound as good as it does, and I'm OK with that [/quote] That's like my niece has, very good, and incredible for the size. She stays with a couple of nights each week and just carries it in her bag.

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1457222417' post='2996572'] It amazes me the amount of musicians who don't really seem to either listen to music or want to hear it on anything other than laptop speakers/crappy earphones. [/quote] That's what amazes me. To a degree, it's almost disrespectful to the producers of the music.

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1457206760' post='2996414'] (As far as boss pedals) only the RC50 will connect to other devices. The rc300 will connect to other rc300s, and the rc505 isn't a pedal. I use the rc50 connected to a korg esx1 electribe, (and my board including midisynced delay, tremolo, and phaser) all syncs up fine. [/quote] I knew one did, I use TC gear.

Maybe go to do it early, then by the time you've switched the looper you'll be on time ? A lot of looper guys like Steve Lawson and Michael Manring, and myself when I was doing a lot last year, don't do what you're trying to achieve. If they use 'percussive effects', then they create them themselves using their bass, so it's part of the loop, not outside of it. Some loopers can be connected using midi to drum machines, particularly the Boss ones.
-
It's just practice.
-
I like the fact that my 16 year old niece recently bought some blue tooth speakers that she connects her device to. It sounds surprisingly good.

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1457196727' post='2996284'] Being the old dinosaur that I am, I started to listen to music at a very early age on my parents "wireless". Later I started buying LP's and later still.. CD's. I have not really kept up with technology since that. I was never really into listening to music on the go. I love to chill out by listening on my hi-fi separates (told you I was a dinosaur.. ). IMO you cant beat listening through "proper" speakers. [/quote] That's me. I don't see how you can listen, as opposed to hear music unless it's through headphones or speakers. A phone is better, but even then.

Assuming that you do, I know a lot of people don't, which I find odd if you're a musician, but anyway . I grew up listening on my parents hifi. Now, if I'm home then I tend to sit and listen off my macbook via my monitors. If I'm out then it's through headphones. I saw this picture on Facebook a day or two ago, which made me smile. [attachment=213982:10400113_10156629528145707_5481991627852461294_n.png] I know back in the 60s music, especially Motown, was mixed so it would sound 'good' on a transistor radio's speaker. In the 80s it was mixed so it would sound good on the little headphones that accompanied Walkmen. People nowadays seem to listen via the pin-head sized speakers on their iPads. This I find totally baffling.
