  1. I guess they assume that if you want midi in your bass you want to look as cool as someone with a keytar!
  2. You really can not look at it - I have it as a help and tend to look at it during the break time for the bit back from the chorus. If i try to read as it goes along, I get lost. Its just there as a backup
  3. There seems to be less of an issue with them, it is true Really depends on your eyesight and how quiclly you refocus. I have a 10~" iPad which I use, it has the lyrics, the start note (sometimes it completely goes out of my head) and I also do the sound on it (it runs the synths too, but I don't need to see that once it is set up). That is certainly good enough, although you also ideally need a footswitch page change thing. I have a really cheap bluetooth thing that does it.
  4. Sorry to hear about the end of your tour, surprised you didn't get to hear about it first but I assume he wanted to make sure it didn't leak out before he mentioned it, quite good to actually deliver the news in person. I do love that building though, did a convention there and it is a really good building.
  5. Thats what he says, but frankly I am not convinced. I don't think lobsters sound like that. Got it, but my collection of HB basses is 2, and 2 others that I have played, and they were all chonks. They were all pretty good though, I must say. But already a bit over booked with basses.
  6. Obviously not much - i don't watch hist stuff because of the lobster thing (and the fast chopping breaks between the sentances), I was just referring to the weight - as much as I don't like the gimmicks or the voice, I believe him if he says it is 10.4lb
  7. That is what I would expect from HB sadly
  8. Should be done as well as it can be.
  9. My piano teacher when I was a teen was Mrs Clutterbuck, no slap piano in her classes.
  10. Maybe put a bit of a gap and the end so it doesn't just stop like that?
  11. Or about 0.8 cubits per moment, if you prefer it in older measurements.
  12. the ecc83 is a dual triode, the el84 is a high power pentode, ignoring an incompatibility in pinout, if you put a EL84 where an ECC83 is supposed to be, half of it isn't going to work as there is only one circuit in it, and they normally use both. On the plus side, nothing is really going to go bang!
  13. It can be done, its just not as clean, nice and supported as if the account hadn't been deleted, which is kind of the point of deleting an account! Leave it with me, I will have a look when I don't have a pigeon sitting on my arm.
  14. Indeed, although it would have been easier to just rejoin as the last account and change your name. Assuming that there is evidence that you are indeed the same person (I haven't looked yet) it should be easy to attach your old account to your new account (although it might be easier to attach your new account to your old account and rename) - not sure what happens about points though
  15. The nylon coloured suit - why did they ever die out for bands heh?
  16. Its very necessary, that is what provides him with an income. Isn't that the point of being a professional musician? He also does lessons on various places (scotts bass lessons etc). he has a few albums and yes, he can play in a normal band where it isn't about him. Olympic runners - whats the point huh? you can go faster in a car and can they even go for a walk like normal people?
  17. Thats because the video is delayed to match the latency of the headphones
  18. I don't think that latency is a design concern of headphones for use in listening to music - it doesn't really matter if the music comes at you 200ms later, if that is all you are listening to.
  19. Absolutely love mine, ok, they are only mono, but the quality sounds pretty good, they are easy enough to use, and now my X18 has a 5GHz router, it all works well. It did take the default X18 wireless out, but then most things do, so not really surprising. They are also pretty cheap. Obviously there are a lot of things better if you can pay more, but they work well for me, I am certainly not looking for anything else at the moment.
  20. "As I’m a bit worried about sending it all the way to Bill Finnegan in the United States to fix it," and also given that he doesn't run that company any more.
  21. I assumed it was a thing he did, as he also mentioned 'Chris Spire'
  22. He only uses the Rickenbacker for a very small number of songs, so I doubt he has anything specific for it. The helix's do, thats what I use for my dual output devices.
  23. I have got a 2001 Euro and a 2021 RST. They are both very good basses, while not really being the same as each other. There is certainly no drop off of quality on the RST.
  24. Mine is factory fitted agulars, not sure if it makes the difference. Yep, the not proper barts
  25. Yeovil has lost a lot of venues, but there are loads in the surrounding villages so doing ok. But as you say, in yeovil there are a lot of solo acoustic acts and stuff (not normally backing tracks), so if you do or like those, it is probably pretty good. Not my sort of thing. Actually since coming out of lockdown our average money has gone up, it used to be £250-300 (which is the amount which didn't change over the last decade) and it has gone to £300-350 average, which we are good with.
