The Nano+ case

That’s a much neater job!

Yep. They’ve sent you the strap for a Nano+. It won’t work.

Unless you can squeeze it onto a couple of the little loops on the bag...

Ok - at least I know! In the earlier pics I can see you can use the gigbag straps looped together through the other straps to make a shoulder strap but it’s a bit naf and the balance is awful.

Thanks for the replies guys. I do have the two straps for going round the neck of the gig bag but there is no shoulder strap per se.

Ive attached pics of what it came with and then what they sent me afterwards.

I’ve got an AZ 5 string and it’s an amazing instrument - love it to bits and this is a bargain price.

It was the same for me (shrug).

In the end I bought the American Sound, and a few days later the British sound one. They're without question the coolest pedals I've bought in years. American Sound is really good on bass, and even better on guitar. British Sound is equally good, but different sounding and I prefer the American Sound for bass.

Go on!

 

Going to go for the American Sound too.

Thanks guys - I’ll compare in the morning.

Your drummer's got crazy wall paper in his front room.

LOL - I bet his neighbours were thrilled that day!

I'm a big fan of Joyo pedals. They sent me this discount code today, should work for anyone:

 

I can’t see anywhere called Coupon to put the code in now?

Hi,

I recently bought a Pedaltrain Nano on Amazon and it seemed ok. I was looking at the pics on Amazon the other day and noticed it should have a shoulder strap with it.

I called the importer and they kindly sent me a strap down FOC which was great. Problem is that there does not appear to be anything to attach the strap to? I’m wondering if I have a Friday afternoon model of the Nano!!

If you have one can you tell me or send a pic of how the shoulder strap should attach please?

Evening all,

My Kate Bush tribute band Moments Of Pleasure recorded this recently in lockdown - not easy to play remotely.

Excuse the fretless playing, I’m still trying to master it!

I’ve been looking at these too - trying to work out the difference between the regular and Pro. I think it’s that the latter powers phantom power microphones?

Might it be cheaper and easier to buy a preamp or eq pedal?

Yep - that was my next thought. I like the look of the new Aguilar DB925.

What is the pickup in your bass? There are different versions of this model depending the vintage.

It has a Bartolini in it - I think they ship with EMG HZ now?

When I bought mine they were offering a wood finish on some but none were available at that time sadly so opted for black!

I have a Spectorcore fretless 4 in Blue - haven't seen another.

Anybody??

Nope mine is 5 string and black!

Does it need it?

For me, yes. The gig that I use fretless on I have to switch between fretted and fretless quite a lot and all of my fretted basses are active basses with some serious eq on them and by comparison the Spectorcore seems a bit tame. I’d like to even out the tone difference if I can.

Slightly off topic but what Barts do you think go into the Spectorcore basses - Chinese?

Evening all,

I have a SpectorCore 5 string fretless and thinking of upgrading the pickups and electrics to something more punchy.

Really liking the look of the Aguilar DCB pickups or the OBP 3 preamp as a possible solution.

will this work?

So, we did the same thing as before but this time with the track Breathing - not easy doing a one take only clip!

Well done, guys - good stuff! Lisa-Marie really has Kate's facial expressions down, too.

Thank you - I know when you say Kate Bush tribute act most people recoil in horror but we’ve had really great feedback both on social media and more importantly when we perform live.

What software did you use for the collaboration?

We all recorded our parts using iPhones or web cams and then they put it together using something called Power Director I believe.

I’ve been busy with my Kate Bush tribute band (Moments Of Pleasure) over the last few months although Coronavirus has stopped all the shows we had planned at the moment ☹️

This week we managed to record a “remote” version of Army Dreamers - let me know what you think.

Yep - QuickTime player works perfectly and as advised above you can select the 2i2 and get DI signal straight to video which is exactly what I needed.

Thank you guys - fantastic help and advice as ever.

Quicktime is the best way to do this. Open quicktime and go to "record new movie". Along the bar at the bottom you can select camera quality as well as audio input and then just hit record. T

Both my iMac and MacBook Pro don't appear to have Quicktime on them - I downloaded a version from the web tried to install it and it says it can't becuase I already have Quicktime X but I'm buggered if I can see it and a Spotlight search only brings up Quicktime player?

On my 2017 Macbook Air, no matter the default setting Photobooth will still use the built in microphone.

USB C inputs or regular USB?
