I'm not super sure how you make money off youtube but she has over 44,000 subscribers... https://www.youtube.com/user/hurricanenita/videos You can definitely make a living at that level!

Well, its a long and slightly boring story...

The response i got was from a guitar guy and a singing lady.. After a load of emails and a missed meeting we ended up in our local rehearsal space.  They were nice enough... and the singing lady didn't sing all the wrong notes, just most of them.  The guitaring was kind of shimmery and totally unheavy.

If anything if they toned down the 'ALL the effects on at the same time' guitar and the singing lady learned some notes (her tone was quite nice, sort of Lana del-ray meets Kirstie McColl?) they could be quite enjoyable. But not what i'm looking for so i sent a polite 'thank you no' message.

I'll probably not bother again...

Personally, I have yet to see daylight through either BM or JMB.  The latest guy coming on to me was a recovering alcoholic ('I like to be straight about these things') electronic music fan who 'isn't actually a very good musician', and his studio is 'actually my living room, haven't had a chance to sound treat it yet', but he does have access to a 'playfully creative' singer called Zia La Zinger Zua.  

I want Zia La Zinger Zua to be my friend.

That's so kind, thank you!

I find this guy quite annoying, but i followed some of his hints about EQ and making spaces for other sounds on a recent recording and it sounded really good!  I also rolled quite a lot of bass off the guitar sound - by itself it sounded sort of shrill and nasal at the same time, but with the bass and guitar together it really sat nicely!

Hi! Thought i'd say hi again. Hi!  Just cos i wandered off a bit - you know the drill. Brain wobbles, work, relationships, band-mate/BFF keeling over with kidney failure, sudden interest in acrylic nails, that sort of thing.

Basically i lost myself for a bit.

And yes, you can play  bass with acrylic nails! Although they're coming off at the weekend because i miss being able to use my thumbs...

Only metal is silly and overblown enough to think 'hey, lets write a song about how cool Carl Sagan is!' I think thats why i love it...

(Nightwish - Sagan)

Make me wonder
Make me understand
Spark the light of doubt and a newborn mind
Bring the vast unthinkable down to earth

Always wary of a captive thought
Beware the very first unkind word
See who you are, where from, what of

Entering the unknown
Sending all the poets to the stars
Daring to see beyond the manmade
Woe to you who evade the horizon
Listening to Sagan
Dreaming Carl Sagan
Unseen streams
With understanding no poet is trapped
Woe to all who stop at the horizon

What kind of world would we call home
Our own
Oasis of love, humility and hope
Eradicating all that`s not for life

What kind of aim would we call high
What kind of life would bathe in the brightest white
A limitless world will rise
Son of man, dare to let go of the cowardice

Best, definitely 'money ' by the flying lizards.

Worse: same song by the Beatles....

Well what else can you do under the circumstances?

SOLD and in the post tomorrow!

You decided on what's going to be taking it's place? Pm me if you want a vgc used Zoom B1X-4, which is likely to get 'Stomped on' in the near future... 😊

Standard stompboxes that i've aleady got.. plus maybe a bonkers filter of some kind! I find i rarely use most of the crazy stuff on the zoom, except for the times i do use them..!

So has the B3n been reprieved once more or is it still on 'death row' unsure of its future as an operative (Fahrenheit) 451 pedal? 😉

Its still for sale but i'm using it while it awaits its fate...

So probably quite a lot like being on death row! 🍆

I've actually got a patch on my B3n that goes Octave up, Fuzz, Octave down, auto-wah, SVT, whammy.

It sounds like Satan's fairground organ... ;D

Plus, didn't this question come up when they invented synths? and we're still here...

Bumped! Also will throw in M-audio expression pedal, which works with the Zoom very happily...

Is this you?? Because you could actually get burned by a bit of spitting fat, if you're frying like that without much on... 😃

Haha! I wish.. I was basically that shape in about 2000ish though.. Plus or minus the odd lump or bump here and there...

Melissa Auf Der Maur, obvs.. #iwish!  (profile photo is a bit out of date, i'm not blonde anymore...)

Zoom B3n, does all the things a B3n does - latest firmware updated, will reset patches to factory. No box but i have a neoprene zip cover (originally for small laptops) that i'll pack it in.

Very good condition, will post to UK. Pics below!

Hmm weird! No i have a B3n - i think most of the effects are the same though!

I think I may be the crazy...

Yes! I got one! Woohoo!

Post a link! 😉

No.. ;D If you look, you'll probably find it.. I've also been quite specific as i fancy doing something properly gothy (Nephilim/Cure, gothy, not Manson/Evanensence metalgoth) so i've pitched it that way.

If i found something more randomly i'd be for doing lots of other different types of stuff though. I have to admit i am still slightly scarred by my one previous JMB experience with Mr 'I don't like modern music' when asked 'so what about grunge?' 😨

Ok, well i've taken the plunge and posted an ad on JMB... Waiting for the abuse to roll in..!

Thanks for the replies.! "Local music shop!'.. yeah I remember those used to be a thing... 

also I'm quite shy, so 'chatting to people' and  'going out...' um... I feel like what there is of my local music scene is pretty incestuous... there used to be a punk band called "the bus station loonies" and if you're  a music person in Plymouth and either haven't been in it or don't know someone who was in it at some point,  you're probably dead..

Hi! So there's been various links on here to joinmyband laughing at some of the sillier ads. Is it actually any good though? If not, does anyone know of good sites to find bands needing new people? Especially if you're not a  24 year old arctic monkeys fan...

I want to do some gigs, and getting paid would be a major bonus!
