    Thanks! I didn't say they wouldn't suck. I would think many of them would suck, but then so do a large number of guitarists playing blues too, for the same reason. And they don't get upset because its obvious they suck because to them it appears completely unobvious that they suck, even if it is obvious to everyone else that it is painful. Not criticising anyone for going to one if that is what they enjoy, and any way of getting new people their first exposure that is hopefully better than the experience mentioned above is good, but for me it is not going to be enjoyable.

    You don't think that people might not want to be in a blues jam? Sorry to be the bearer of disappointing news but not everyone would enjoy that.

    Not used on all recordings. And frankly you don't need the same thing live as you do on a recording. I don't there are many people who couldn't play at a blues jam, but maybe quite a few who wouldn't want to!

    Well, more not gibsons when it comes to twin tone and volume controls, fender have their own crazy ideas.

    Yeh, they are certainly in the wrong place when you have used any other bass, but then once you have learned... Still, one day I will learn which knobs on the bongo do what.

    Down to trust really. I did an outdoor gig and brought my PA, I turned up and one of the other bands that was on later had their PA and it was seriously a professional many thousand of pound worth of audio equipment and a guy who clearly knew what he was doing, sound was fantastic. The next year they said that they were supplying a PA so I didn't bring mine, thought it would be great. It wasn't the same guy, it was 2 guys with with an 8 channel behringer analogue cheap mixer, a pair or standard behringer PA speakers and sub that was no where near as good as my PA, sound wasn't good. Third year they said they had a PA too, so I brought mine anyway. As it turned out they had somewhere between the two and it was ok, but I don't trust it anymore, and if I have the space I will take mine. Obviously you can wire yours up and chain the output to their speakers and see which sounds right. I doubt it, if they have two inputs I assume they have two sides, so if you only plug into one you would only have one side of the system working.

    Why? He is human and messes things up and sometimes it doesn't work.

    Hes going to burn well!

    An album lasts generally less than an hour - who was the last group to do their recording in an hour?
  10. Woodinblack
    Maybe they weren't quick enough to turn the offer off!

    I would assume they were left and right inputs to the PA, and would be expecting to ignore their cable and connect our left and right main output from the desk. However, I would also assume that someone somewhere had probably done something stupid and be prepared for that to be wrong and ask if they know what they are. I wouldn't be using that cable either way. It could be a mains issue in your house. Do you have other monitors you could try? You can try leaving it with the other ones to see if it still does it to rule out your RCF monitors.

    Just got an email that my delivery is pushed back to the 5th week!

    You could play Alright now up around the 25th fret on the D string?
  14. Woodinblack
    As well as a stereo XLR. For two you mean?

    I guess it is, although maybe I didn't consider it as I have much better effects in very small pedals on a pedalboard, but I can see they could be of use to some. I have a 12 step on my pedalboard that connects for synth effects. I can't see how an XY controller would work well on a screen on a remote device when playing the bass, but interesting to watch someone do it!

    I certainly don't see that with the Akai (I have a Live 2) - all the jack sockets (it has quite a few) are full size and it is pretty solid (ie, you could injure yourself on it), and although it does have a 2 pin power connector, it does have an internal battery with > 4 hour life so its good for a gig. It has full size USBs and normal protected SD slots, and 5 pin midi sockets. I would have no problem using it live (and thats what I have it for), and I would note that Akai MPCs are used very routinely by touring groups. Ultimately I am not sure what you would do for it from a bass point of view, I can't see what that brings, even if I can plug my bass into it (which obviously I can), mine is there for triggering samples, sequences, even whole sections of music, which i would do either by midi for a sequence of by hand on the pads.

    Tonight at practice my IEM cut out breifly a couple of times, so I was a bit concerned after saying how reliable it has been (and it has). Then it occured to me that the receiver was clipped to the top of my right pocket, and my XVive wireless bass transmitter was right next to it because of that. I swapped it to my left pocket and it didn't cut out again. So it seems it doesn't like touching another transmitter!

    That makes sense. Surprised they didn't do it earlier really, I would have certainly looked at it when I was replacing my broken U4, and later when looking for a replacement for the MS-2.

    Good holder for a kay!

    When I get a chance I will test that to see what it is. Cetainly doesn't sound dull (and I have bright strings) and I haven't noticed a distortion, although honestly when gigging I am not going to be that concerned about a 6khz roll off, this doesn't have to be hifi
  21. Woodinblack
    Only the intro. Tool songs use the other strings too!
  22. Woodinblack
    Theres another one
  23. Woodinblack
    Oh sorry - couldn't read that that said SR500. That makes no sense, SR500s are brown with pretend barts, a blue one should be a different model.
  24. Woodinblack
    Well, that isn't a new new finish is it? the SR500 has always been brown. I always viewed that as their actual base serious model, if you want nords you go up the number range.

    How about the status-alike one?
