I used the critical mass with the sax and it sounded great

Not sure there is much to fail, and if it did, it would only move round so you couldn't adjust it, in which case you could tune it back up,. Anyway, I contacted all the people who had the ric tuners and they didn't have them, so I contacted hipshot who told me that as long as I didn't mind putting a screwhole in my ric (which I don't), the 3/8 tuner with a 12mm long bush is a perfect fit.

I would point out that both of my Evox 8s are second hand, so between them they were less than 1k. The XR18 is now cheap as anything.

You didn't, I was just saying. ok, well the rule is to only ask for valuations in the wozzit worth forum, which you can only see if you are a member, so if you want to post it there, thats fine, just not here.

Except part of that conversation was someone mentioning to them the rules of off marketplace selling, including showing the actual rules, so I think it was clear.

Hidden the posts that are based on pricing a specific bass, because thats against the rules, as mentioned. If you need help with a specific valuation, please use the wozzit worth forum.

You can - only you know if it would work for you, if you don't have a loud drummer, maybe you can - we used to practice with just the one and it was loud enough, but obviously a large amount of people absorb sound quite a bit!

Absolutely, I never managed to keep any bass that had the BH or similar OEM barts in.

Indeed - I love the RCF Evox 8s that I have, just two boxes, no extra poles or anything, turn up and plonk them down, connect them up to the mixer, or if you got a JMix8, which is basic but functional, one to the other, plug the power in, jobs done, no poles etc. Plenty loud for a pub or basic outdoor stuff (including the bass and bass drum going through them). If you haven't got the one with the mixer in, get a basic digital mixer which are really cheap now, a XR18 (or even smaller), or even a flow 8. But if there are 6 of you and some instruments, something like an XR18 would give you a microphone each, all the instrument, then speakers to out, and 6 outputs to IEMs, or monitors, or the cheap P-16 personal IEM things (which are fantastic) for an individual mix. That is what I have done a few hundred gigs on and no problems (actually the evoxs, probably still under 100 gigs, but the mixer and everyhing way over).

Might help with confidence

I only use a gang harmoniser for a few things, but I would say I never have thought a single BV sounded wrong or weak. Its a lot better than just a normal solo singer.

ok, looked into it a bit further on my main basschat machines, which is a windows computer 8:30-5 and a mac with safari the rest of the time, and the one that controls this is 'notificationPushRejected', which in your cookies is ips4_notificationPushRejected. I have it on both the PC and the Mac, which as far as I know has standard settings (and just checked my other mac up here, it has the same cookie and is standard). In the cookie window in safari it shows as: ips4_notificationPushRejected true www.basschat.co.uk / 16/02/2027 11:11:38 which I notice is a year away from when I opened basschat on that machine this morning. Quiting and restarting safari doesn't seem to change it. Yep, looking at the javascript, clicking the close box on the 'stay up to date' box writes the cookie ips4_notificationPushRejected with a timeout of a year + 100 seconds (no idea why the 100 seconds). Everytime there is a notification, the first thing it does is check if that cookie is present, and if so it doesn't put the box up and goes on its merry way. If it isn't present and you haven't actually had that box displayed to you in the current session it puts the box up. It seems like maybe somehow that box is getting dismissed without pressing the close box somehow?

While looking through the code (which is slow, I am not an expert on javascript, nor do I ever want to be), I did find out where the cookie was heading and made, but while looking at other things, I noticed that if you go to your notification menu, on the top right of the notification menu is a section marked 'notification settings', in that page, at the bottom in the middle there is a section for push notifications. The second option of which says "Stop all push notifications". Does pressing this fix the issue? But in answer to your actual question of 'which cookie controls the notification'. its 'ips4_browserNotificationDismiss' which on my machine has a date sometime in the past (23rd Jan),

Unbalanced TS. Can't think of any keyboards that used balanced, however handy that would be. Thats for all time, so from the moog modulars* in the 60s up to the latest. Even with other things changing, it is one thing you can rely on (apart from those tiny sockets on modern modules with the mini jack midi and output) * to be fair, I guess moog got a bulk discount on jack sockets with the modulars.

In general most keyboards will have one (or two if stereo) ¼" jack sockets.

Will have a look tonight, but I never get the push notifications box on this machine ever (and don't have them on), but I have seen it on the PC on firefox a couple of times.

For me, the reason I am using the MPC live is that I wanted something which wasn't an iPad to take live and use. OK, the iPad is more capable, but the live is a chunk of hardware with professional audio connections and thick rubber pads that I can press - if I kick it I will damage my foot. I already have an iPad for lyrics and controlling the mixer, I don't want to have to have another one for other stuff.

Well, they did back when the anti-brexit guy was there, and they would try to move their stuff around so he wasn't in frame, but he always was. Well, thats always going to happen when you mention thatcher in a tory meeting (or I guess now reform)!

Nothing I can see here.. although hitting a surface that is designed for tensioned steel strings to be heavily pressed, slapped and vibrated on it with a small piece of soft silver or gold doesn't seem like it would be devastating for it - I would assume there would be more damage to the rings and I see none!

Actually one of my peeves there - "Fred Smith got stabbed yesterday in Biggleswade high street, we now go to our reporter standing in the street in Biggleswade' - "Hi, Im reporter, and I am standing in a street in Biggleswade where yesterday someone was stabbed, somewhere down there". Why did they need to be there? "Big change in government policy, going to our reporter live on the roof near parliament' - "Hi, yes, I am standing on the roof of a building in the cold to tell you something that happened in one of the rooms near here".

Thats the thing that matters really when it comes down to it. Unless you are auditioning for a named group where they want some specific look or you are recording and want an exact sound, then 90% of what matters is playability and a look that you like. I have loads of basses here, ibanez, maruschyk, musicman, rickenbacker, spector, shuker, hohner etc and I can take any bass to any gig and it will be fine (almost - I need a 5 string for my gigs, and one of the rics is a 4), noone will notice a difference, apart from me. So its down to what I want to do.

Unless it is purely random (well, even if), it really does seem very odd.

I never wore any jewelry until marriage. I lost my wedding ring because it was white gold and irritated so I fiddled with it (nickel allergy). Got a cheap silver band as a replacement, and wore that for 15 years, with no issues. 10 years ago I got a nice silver wedding ring, which is quite wide, and initially it got in the way a bit, but I got used to it. Then at 25 years married I got a long service award ring, next to it, and that also was a bit noticable for a month or so, but after time didn't notice it again. Then my wife got a fancy ring but it was too big and loose on the biggerst her tiny little fingers, but fit on my little finger, so now I have 3 rings. I also recently have put on weight so they were tight for a while. I notice I click them as a tic! Sometimes they hit the fingerboard but in general they have very little impact to my playing though now I am used to them.

Which is odd as for the last few weeks my facebook feed has been displaying a lot of random things, and today, this was the photo to images down in my feed when I got up, dispite never hearing of the band before!

Frankly, and this isn't a universal opinion, but within bounds almost any mainstream bass can handle any sort of playing. You will get people who swear by their fender stuff and people that go the other way, but if you are learning, as long as you have something that is basically decent to play you will do fine. In fact you won't really know what it is you want until you have tried something you don't. So just go ahead and try everything you can try. I am pretty well exclusively a 5 string player who likes non fender things, so I can't really say about fenders (except my new £62 bax jazz bass like aquaition) but always a fan of things ibanez and maybe 80/90s japanese. You don't really need reviews of aria pro IIs, they are all basically good, some better than others. If you have the option to try stuff, just try it and see how it feels. I have never heard the increased noise on a P / J, electrically that seems very unlikely, but people don't like them because they are not a 'standard fender thing'.
