  1. From the internet (so it must be true): For Harley Benton, caramelized and roasted are not the same thing. Caramelized is cheaper (its offered on €140 models like ST-62) and purely cosmetic. The wood is darkened/colored with some process that only effects the surface. Roasted is more expensive (models start at €300) and improves stability. A roasted neck is roasted throughout, if you saw it in half it will be the same color throughout.
  2. Well, I didn't sleep last night and felt terrible today, so that was fine as I had a gig in the afternoon at 2. I felt dizzy and sick. Easy setup but felt very cold and hot and generally unwell. Couldn't get warm in the first half which I think was me as the guitarist was complaining about being hot, but also hands were working like they were cold. We thought at the start it was goimg to be be poorly attended but it wasnt, it was pretty crowded. Second half I had put a fleece on so I was warmer and things were flowing better, but singing was an issue due to feeling sick. It all went well in the end and luckily it was an affternoon gig so we could leave at 4:30. Had a request at the end for surfing USA, but couldn't do that, I would have been sick. Luckily it wasn't very far and it was an easy breakdown and drive home. Came in, had some rice, laid down for 5 minutes, woke up at 10! Glad I got through it!
  3. I bought a boules mesh chair as I work from home and I wanted a decent chair (actually, my wife wanted to throw out my old chair as it was very grubby), and it was without doubt the worst chair I had ever sat on, no idea who it was moddled on but it was terrible. So we contacted them back, they sent a cushion, and that didn't cut it. So we wrote back and they said I could swap for a different chair, so I swapped for a Master chair, which was also on sale at the time and it is the most comfortable chair I have had. I never worked out how one company could produce two so totally different chairs! Anyway, that one is fantastic
  4. Well, yes, he likes them. He also did videos on the top tracks done with a wal, and the last video of him was songs recorded on the rickenbacker
  5. Ah - thats fair then!
  6. Are they though? Ian isn't on the spector featured artists lists (I notice that guy pratt is, and I have only seen him once play a spector, its normally his pink fender). Scott has a signature overwater. Also both of them are already working for his company and it is quite clear they are working for that.
  7. Would they? Gimmie all your loving is pretty well one note all the way through (ok, yes, its 3 one note riffs) I would imagine almost noone who wasn't a bass player could recognise that song from the bass line. Maybe 'Take a walk on the wild side'.
  8. Someone who does an advert without saying they are doing an advert.
  9. If you have a problem with an account, just raise a support request rather than making another account and posting here, as lets face it, you could be anyone. When you try to log on there is a forgot password button which will send an email to your registered address and allow you to reset your password. Having just looked, there is no lock on your account, if you can't remember your password, make a new one.
  10. Depending on your route, it is!
  11. Never got that phrase as I never knew what it was I was supposed to know
  12. We just use one wireless microphone but we also have a wireless sax, wireless bass, wireless X-Air mixer and Wireless IEMs, and haven't had any drop outs or anything. We found that we had a problem with the new Nux Sax wireless, the range wasn't great (certainly compared to the mic), so I now attach an XLR and hang the sax RX up near the front of the stage and the range is hugely better (ie, over double), so maybe that was inteference of them being plugged straight in the desk a few cms from each other - all the other wireless things are connected elsewhere.
  13. If you know another one bites the dust you probably could get Good Times as it was inspired by that (John Deacon was in the studio when good times was made), or rappers delight, same bassline, or many many other songs. In fact, on whosampled, 254 other songs. So whatever bucket you are in, you probably have heard it somewhere!
  14. What are you adding a 550W power supply to? Noone can answer if 550W is enough, unless they know what you are powering with it! Replacing the power supply of an amplifier won't do anything unless the power amp output stage was underpowered, which is unlikely, and it would have to be the right power supply so that is no use. And the question about class D or AB makes no sense with a power supply, that is just about amplifiers I have blanked out your link as it is of no relevance to bass players.
  15. Love the alphers, but that seems a step back for me, certainly the brown one.
  16. The Chain certainly - Dancing in the moonlight? I doubt most people know that and when we went to do peaches our singer had never heard of it. The only way people have heard of it is if it was the theme song of a long running TV program or advert, hence the chain. Good times by Chic, Another one bites the dust by queen, probably whole lotta love by zepplin. Probably some motown stuff, like aint no mountain (esp as it was reused by amy winehouse)
  17. That just looks like it has been reworked at some point, rather than it blowing there. I mean it might as it has clearly happened once before, but I wouldn't assume it was there unless you have checked and found it is. But then if it is, seems a simple enough fault to fix
  18. Well, maybe he was no good for the music. I saw Pino with NiN and it really didn't work for me
  19. Im pretty sure Good Times would be, as it is the most reused and sampled bassline!
  20. Whatever the A/D latency is in the first place, once you are in the digital side there is no additional latency between effects, so one effect or 100 effects, as long as you have the processing power, it doesn't matter.
  21. Can't see any reason that either of them would not be able to receive messages, or you not able to send them. Try again and see if it was some temporary passing gremlin?
  22. Its a shame that there isn't a more powerful (or at least more core'd version of the dwarf, as they had stopped the ModX near the end. And a better display but however good it was, I don't think that most people were ready for that level of flexibility. I do feel if they had made the software development environment a bit friendlier, they would have had a lot more of a headsup in the market.
  23. Yes, it seemed a lot for a dwarf, that is what I have, mine is way simpler, but it is my daily gigging setup in a cover band so there isn't much out there needed!
  24. Wow that is a lot! Mine is really simple compared to that, I think I need to experiment a bit more
  25. Its certainly unintuitive, but for me, that is the way of the MPC so maybe I don't notice it! I got jura after all and I am very impressed with it - hard to get a bad sound out of the thing, and very easy to use, but then, its a copy of something that was like that, so it makes sense.
