Yeh, spooky how stuff like that happens

I would think it would have been cheaper than having the USB output and a regulator in there.

It will be - return is expecting a line level wheras the output of the boss is instrument level, designed to go into the preamp input, not the power amp input. To make that work you need to tell the boss that you want it to be line level. There is a switch to do that somewhere that I don't remember off hand. Download the manual and search for line level

Spooky - we did Born to be wild and I saw her standing there for an event just before christmas.

Yes, sorry, I meant micro. The worst of all possible ways of charging. Always the first thing to go because it is surface mounted onto a PCB via 5 very small solder areas. And TBH, although I love zoom products, but when you have a Q2n camera, and a Q2n external power booster, why do you have to connect a usb between the two anyway? You physically bolt them together, would a couple of terminals between the two been too much work?

Certainly looking to get a new Q2n 4k, my q2n has died a death after falling onto concrete, and the power socket (why does anyone use USB-mini for power??) had long since needed coaxing (ie, lead bent a certain way to apply pressure).

But it seems to work for him, so I guess he is going to keep doing it - there is obviously a market for what he is doing

Answer: Why do we have multiple kids?

No argument there - some gigs are unpleasantly loud

There is no reason that a 4 string has to be any lighter than a 5 string - all of my 5 string basses are reasonably light (except my acrylic one). The lightest bass I ever had and played (spector RST) was a 5 string. Heaviest bass I ever played (that was wood) was a precision. Yes, there are 5 string short scales, I had a Ibanez TMB35 which was 30, there is a ibanez 5 string that is 27.5", and obviously a lot of customs.

Well, in that case, it was hardly defective AI. It was actually very effective AI.

But luckily on my new mac update, I can select an AI description, right click on the text, select 'writing tools'-> 'Summarise' and get: • Sound Quality: Delivers powerful midrange and bass frequencies with clarity and impact. • Performance: High power handling and efficiency for loud, clear sound in large venues. • Applications: Ideal for live performances, DJ events, and large public gatherings.

Only when you are talking about an image categorising ai. When you see a round thing you isolate it by image comparisons (which the brain can get very wrong), then you start trying to categorise it by performing a set of learned behaviours that an ai could do too, if those were the behaviours it has learned, like you did. There is nothing in that tasks a series of ais couldn't do

Would say they have been busy although it took them almost a decade without doing anything (and I suspect that is the one I have!) I use mine in every gig, but i haven't actually changed the setup on it for many years. I have a few songs that I play chords, and a few songs with just using it as a straight keyboard. I probably should get round to making chords for some other songs now we lost our keyboard player.

Is that new firmware for the 12 step? Any idea what the updates are? I must admit to never actually having an issue with the editor, it always worked fine with me, or is this the new editor? Probably wouldn't update then if that was the case.

There is a knob that turns to say what the pedal is (obviously pre-set if you use a patch). You press the toe end of the pedal down (pretty hard), and then you just use it as what you set it to. I generally have mine on wah, I only tend to use it on 'funky music'

Well, if you have a PA, why do you need that much? I run mine into a BAM200 and a 10" gnome cab at about half volume, just to have some bass on stage for the others to hear, not for me, I am in ears and through the PA.

Also note that its 'If the preamp of your GK is part of your tone' - you won't get any of the sound imparted by your poweramp or speaker in it, as you mentioned your speaker in the comment.

Ooh, Castle Cary, how posh, they don't let scum like us in there

So where did you play Mike? your facebook page seems to be a bit neglected! Sounds like a good night anyway, especially when you are winging it!

I have never had a bad NYE, I have had a couple that weren't that great, but most have them have been just like a pub gig only busier and paid double for being up an hour later. Actually, that is the same with wedding gigs for us - not sure why anyone would book us as a wedding band, as we are going to do most of the same pub set in pretty well the same way with maybe a special song, but I guess for a wedding band we are cheap compared to the silly rates people can charge, and people who book us are people who have seen us anyway, so they obviously want what we do.

Lucky you had your crowd as well!

I think this is one of the joys of gigging, some people you have to wonder how they basically function. We aren't a specific genre group, so in general we will play anything but so many times its 'can you play x'. 'no sorry, we don't know it', 'but its easy', and so many people try to talk to you while you are actually singing and playing. Sorry pall, my head hasn't got any spare capacity here. My bugbear is people putting drinks on my PA. Because I have the evox 8, there is a big bass box and a pole. I have two, the old one which is wood an entirely flat and a handy table, and the new one, which is plastic and shaped, with no flat area. I keep the black one near me and put things on it to stop people putting stuff on, or I can tell them not to and the white one further away because only an idiot would try and put a drink on a non flat surface that I put the bass through. Turns out the level of idiots is quite high at a gig, so a woman did just that yesterday, put a full pint glass on it. I didn't see or I would have gone over there, apparently it managed to balance almost 10 seconds before crashing to the floor, luckiy missing going in the PA. I need signs up but I guess noone would read those either. Anyway, last night, as previously mentioned, we had found out that our NYE gig had been given to soneone else without even telling us, so expected nothing, but luckily the guy in a local pub who likes us heard we weren't busy so opened the pub up, so we gigged from 10 to 12:45ish. Crowd were good, looked a bit light earlier so a bit of a concern but then people started streaming in and it was packed, also seemed up for a dance. After the countdown we had a agreed to do some version of old lang syne, so basically just written the chords down but no chance to practice - we figured the first verse and the chorus is all people know. Kicked it off straight and slowish to get the crowd going, verse and 2 choruses, then went into a punk version for a verse and chorus, then into a ska version for a verse and chorus and back to the straight version to end (basically this wasn't agreed, just what the drummer did!). Went down great, shame you can't use that song much! Finished at ¼ to 1, took a while to break down as a lot of drunk people insisted in singing into the singers mic (tried with mine, I don't have that) which was a bit pointless as I had turned the PA of straight away, but out of there by 1:20, home by 1:25! Great night, I am glad we got to gig, it has been a very quiet december!
