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

Ian did a series of videos promoting Spectors and then did a few videos about Spector players for SBL and spent quite a bit of time talking about how amazing the Spector tone is.

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

You mean like every to Scott Devine picks up a Fender or his mate, Ian with a Spector?

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.

Gimme Some Loving

 

I think most ordinary folk who know those songs would recognise them from the bass alone.

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'.

I still don't know what an influencer is

Someone who does an advert without saying they are doing an advert.

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.

Depending on your route, it is!

She tried the wireless out at a gig on Sat and worked great.

 

@Woodinblack Do you guys just use the one wireless? Just wondering if there will be interference / drop-outs if more than one of us get the same wireless set up? I note that, in theory, both the Joyo and Lekato have 4 channels.

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.

I couldn't bum-bum the bassline to Good Times or any Motown stuff, and I am a bassist. Sort of. Whole lotta love is a guitar riff. I'll give you Another one bites the dust.

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!

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.

Love the alphers, but that seems a step back for me, certainly the brown one.

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)

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

Chatting to a friend the other day, back in the 70s his band needed a stand in bassist for a European tour. They auditioned Pino and turned him down. 🙄

Well, maybe he was no good for the music. I saw Pino with NiN and it really didn't work for me

I know what the World's Greatest Basslines are.... and I can guarantee they won't be on this programme.

Im pretty sure Good Times would be, as it is the most reused and sampled bassline!

Dear lord, what's the latency on that?!

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. 

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?

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.

The MOD Duo, then the first version of the DuoX, then the more powerful version - I've got a MOD Dwarf as well that I really need to dig into further, but it wouldn't run all of this!) 

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!

Wow that is a lot! Mine is really simple compared to that, I think I need to experiment a bit more

I would say as first impressions though, I've used a few stems things and they all seemed more intuitive, faster, and better results. 

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.

I reckon about 18mm string spacing, so a little wider than a Precision 4-string neck.

Yeh, no good for me, not too much of a problem as I have the 5 string narrow spacing ric which is lovely to play

I was going to get Jura and analog dreams, but I was put off as when i went to get analog dreams there was a 'sign up to NIs marketing list and get $25 off' so I did, then went to check out and got a 'you can't use it for that'

I had MPC stems before, and found it very useful, so interesting to see you didn't get on with it.

I will get round to getting jura before it goes back up - £34 is pretty good as I couldn't get together the money to get a real one in 1982!
