  1. I just came across this on Facebook. https://forum.mod.audio/t/introducing-portal/9329?fbclid=IwAR1PRnN76wn-VhPOs_QTs57y0-jCUs-RHzLOTbZ7vht_lA75gBRPCEdNkFs
  2. Apart from the Andrew Gouche video I posted a link to earlier, I can’t say I’ve ever really watched any of the SBL videos .The trailers I saw featuring Phil Mann gurning away put me right off.
  3. I’m a longtime admirer of Andrew’s playing. Here, he’s taking Chaka Khan’s two hits to another level completely. I guess he’s able to do this because: a) he has total mastery of his instrument and tremendous chops. and b) he’s so familiar and at ease with the harmony in the two songs. I have to learn these two songs for a new band I’m playing for. I play a 6 string bass, I’m definitely watching these for inspiration. He detunes his bass by a tone by the way. I have a transcription of these two tunes from a Chaka Khan concert.
  4. Ah! You've found it. Wonderful. I was wondering where I’d lost it.
  5. Solo 6 string bass tuned C F Eb Bb GC. My bass is a Wood n Tronics Chronos 6. Reverb from a Mod Devices Dwarf. Recorded in one take this afternoon. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CvX8pnCtxf-/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
  6. I lecture in music production in my day job. I often bring up Prince’s recordings to my students. There's never anything there that shouldn't be there. Slightly off-topic. Check out Susan Roger’s book ‘This Is What It Sounds Like’. She was Prince’s staff engineer for some of his greatest recordings.
  7. Intel. This gives more information. https://support.apple.com/kb/SP649?locale=en_GB
  8. Bought new a couple of years ago during my foray into double bass playing. I doubt it was used for more than 30 minutes. I found its inordinately loud click annoying and reverted back to using the metronome app on my iPhone.
  9. I lecture in music production in a music college. A colleague of mine has exactly the same model from the same year that he uses every day, for work and music production. I think 2012 was a particularly good year for MacBooks. The only reason I switched is that I travel to work by bus and train, and wanted something lighter. I did consider keeping this one as a spare or for live work. It seems a bit daft to just keep it sitting in a cupboard unused though.
  10. I’ve taken screenshots for you. I believe on this model you can increase the RAM. To be honest, I’ve never felt the need to. Some of my PhD work was running some pretty large Logic Pro projects with 60 or 70 tracks, it never missed a beat.
  11. This was bought new on NYE 2012 from the Apple Store in Birmingham. It’s always worked faultlessly and has always been well looked after. It has a new SSD installed by an accredited Apple service centre about 5 years ago, and had a new hard drive cable fitted about 9 months ago. It’s in pretty good cosmetic condition, except for a small dink in the one corner. It has only ever been used for music creation using Logic Pro and Reaper. It works fabulously. I teach music production and composition at a music college and take my MacBook in with me every day. I therefore bought a new and much lighter MacBook Air for this, otherwise I would still be using this one. It comes complete with the power supply and a selection of good quality carry cases/sleeves. I would prefer collection from Birmingham where prospective buyers can try before they buy. The ‘cat’ by the Apple logo is just a sticker that will peel off.
  12. Having been there in November a few years ago, I can understand why.
  13. Don’t get the TE Elf. I had one briefly. You could hear the fan from downstairs and two rooms away.
  14. Yes! ‘Twas you I got them from. My Overwater for your Sei bass….I think.
  15. Without taking them apart I honestly don’t know. I have neither the skills or the tools to do that, and my dad’s hidden his hammer from me. Someone with the skills and tools could do it I guess, but wouldn’t they need to build a new case for them to sit in?
  16. I don’t know. I can’t even remember who I got them off to ask. They seem pretty nicely made.
  17. I was given these in a trade deal ages ago and promptly lost them. I came across them today whilst having a sort out. I know nothing about them, other than they’re for a 6 string bass. They measure 11.5cm x 3.5cm. They’re in pretty good condition.
  18. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  19. Download it directly from MuseScore dot org. It does do TAB too, I’ve used it with students in the past.
  20. Yes, the subscription is only for the pro version. Make sure you download from MuseScore dot org, and not MuseScore dot com.
