Normally on the right side (facing out) of the singer. Which means he often gets hit by the headstock of the bass. Which is why he is much happier since I got the bongo

As suspected - its the single quote on your name seems to upset stuff, probably as it has been there for a while. I removed it and it works fine now. Can put some kind of decorative mark there if you want?

The basschat 'app' is just a direct link to the webpage, there is no code and certainly no bank spyware, unless there is bank spyware in your web browser. As a result, there isn't anything to fix. If your phone doesn't like it, remove it and just use the website instead.

I don't care, I know what works best for me, and if they want something else, that is also fine as long as they buy it, set it up, run it and transport it!

Had this been here before?

Edit... 
Oh yes it had, saw it on Facebook today and hadn't noticed the advert before!

I am the drummer wear IEMs. The others can do whatever they want, and now we have a new keyboard player join, he has a monitor, so the guitarist is really happy about that, he has been complaining for a while he couldn't hear well, and I kept pointing out we had many monitor out sockets left if he wanted to do anything about it.

I absolutely love this tune. Just over 2 minutes of brilliance, especially the bass part (Tommy Cogbill?).

I actually didn't like the song until I had to learn the bassline, but quite a few songs have been like that!

Our guitarist doesn't use IEMs for that reason, but for me, IEMs are a revelation. The band are too loud to not wear hearing protection anyway, which means you already have to jam something in your ears and with the IEMs it gives me the confidence to sing properly, can't do it without them, it sounds terrible (not that it is great with them!)

 guess I have to chase it up again, they were waiting for a part on the 9th March, I guess they are hard to get..

And then they emailed yesterday!

Marketing emails will have been sent using a bulk email service like Mail Chimp, and although it will have a Bass Direct "return" email on them, they won't have actually come from that address.

I suspect their email system is fine, just that they aren't sending any messages!

I used to use the Voice Live play, which is the cheap one, and it can do quite a lot, but after a while I realised I just needed the gang vocal thing, so I have a TC Critical Mass pedal which does what I need.

I've spent a little bit of time A/B'ing with a Spotify track (the start of Maria by Blondie as it happens!). There's a level of additional detail coming through on the ZARs that isn't there on the ZS 10s - on the guitar, most certainly on the drums (which sound flatter on the ZS 10s) and a richer tone to Debbie H's vox. The ZS 10s are decent enough, but the ZARs are unquestionably a step up and will be my goto pair going forward.

Well, that is handy as I bought them on your recommendation

I get the marketing emails on the sunday from them. Don't seem to be as quick with the updates to the effects pedal I sent back to them a few months ago to fix.

Maybe they just suit my ear shape, but they are a better fit and, although bulkier, they provide a much better seal which was immediately obvious. The very much reduced "leakage" from external sounds is also going to have the added benefit of providing better ear protection, which is more than worth the entry price of these for me.

When you say bulkier, is that also heavier? I always hae the problem of one of my KZZ10s falling out, bad ear shape I guess, but it doesn't help that its heavy.

I never change the channel so its probably something you get used to. Yes, it was a bit bigger than my 2.4GHz dongles, but I figured maybe it needed to be.

That is the same one I have, other than mine is white and cuvave, used for the last n years now, and never had a problem with. I only got them because I lost my previous ones and my smoothhound was being repaired, but they have been so trouble free and reliable over the last years that I would need something to pull me away from using them. They also have the advantage of being very light, so they don't flap too much

Our lessons were pretty useless and fairly haphazard, more done from the fact they had to do it rather than any love of doing it.

 The guitarist and singers were awesome as well but for me it was all about the rhythm section.

In which case it is an accurate rendition of tool!

I'm seeing the real deal next month 🙂

Well worth it - saw them in the O2 last year, in general I don't like stadiums but that was fantastic. Remember to keep your phone in your pocket!

The burgundy looks nice

Don't know why but a refinish always puts me right off. Good job, otherwise I'd be much worse off!

Well, that makes sense - what you are paying so much for is that it is an antique, and if it has been modified it is not the same thing

 Until they make a 5-string Thunderbird that is essentially a 64 model with an extra string, I'm unlikely to be interested in anything they produce.

I would buy that

I saw dozens of guitars. I asked the girl working there "where are the thunderbirds?"

 

And she looked puzzled and asked me "what's that? Docyou mean firebirds?" Lol...

Pretty poor considering how few models they actually sell that ou don't know all of them, if that is your job and you haven't just started yesterday.

 I'm no stranger to learning and pulling off fairly complex songs with a fairly short preparation time -

Probably going to be ok with "Touch Me" then, which is the only thing anyone knows

I'm extremely flattered and we shared details, but I don't think I'll go for it if he does end up asking. Not only do I need to renew my passport, but I don't own any flight cases for my gear not to mention a massive dose of imposter syndrome and I don't think I'd be able to dedicate time to learning a batch of songs I've never heard of at very short notice - it's just not a skill I'm used to doing.

Oh come on, how can you not do that? I have heard you play stuff many times harder than anything that she is going to be singing without error. It would be a crime if you didn't!

II think my mistake management has improved.  When I started out, I would be very uptight and small mistakes would put me off a lot - my drummer is still mentally scarred by the "death stare of '09" when he had the audacity to miss a snare I was expecting!  Nowadays, I am a lot better at recovery when I make a mistake, and see other people's mistakes as an opportunity for humour - a knowing look with a smile tends to get a better performance out of others than a death stare.  

I think mine is earlier than that. When I was a kid i had a very strict, and not entirely mentally stable piano teacher. Well, actually I had 2, complete contrasts. The first one i went to and loved, but my mum took me away from there, as whenever we went or she picked me up there would be other kids there too, and the lessons merged from one to the other (ie, you got there 5 minutes early you would listen to the previous kid, then at the end of yours the next kid would be listening). She was great, but my mum though it wasn't the right personal attention as others were there, so we went to another one. None of that there. But she was strict, very strict and almost took all the joy out of playing sometimes (but not quite!). I still have manuscripts with very large drawn angry pencil marks around a sharp I got wrong (F# - always hated it since). so when I got something wrong we would stop and do it again until it was right.

Which means I really hear every mistake reverberate around my head, and every note that is wrong overides the 100 that were right.

I have learned recently that just laughing at the mistakes with the drummer when something sounds bad is a more enjoyable way of doing it, but it takes work!
