I saw on the local news a rather sad looking mid 20s woman complaining that although she didn't have a ticket, she travelled down from london in case anyone wanted to sell their ticket before realising she couldn't get in. Probably didn't understand why someone was playing outside london! Indeed - Killed by Death as he predicted.

Good point, and well reminded. I think I will play the TMB35 at tomorrows gig.

I find it hard to imagine that anyone other than you would care or notice?

Oh thats good, mine are velcro. Same back on the outside though, two pockets (that each have pockets) on one side and 1 on the other side.

There is a talman 605 which has nordstrand pickups, but it isn't the mint colour.

Was the fan working flat out at that time? they do get hot but shouldn't get that hot.

I have one of those but after a while the individual cross things sag down and it ends up being just a big bag! I suppose I could sew them in.

As a supporting member you have 500M of space, so if you are running out of space its probably video or something!

Well, we have two gigs this weekend in the westcountry on a glastonbury weekend. One is a party so that should be ok. the second is one of the first hill gigs sunday afternoon outdoor in the garden on a pub. Did a facebook group post for it and it seems to have blown up, so looking forward to that.

Its amazing really that that photo had been there for a few weeks and noone noticed until you said.

Hope it improved!

Not quite... Although I do like the more traditional double-dot position

Took a while for me to get that one too - and the answer to all these things are to just do it slow and break it into smaller steps that you repeat until you don't get it wrong. Sir duke is pretty good in that it naturally breaks into a series of obvious phrases. I have a problem with all of these as my two finger picking is bad (my nail picking and 3 finger picking is fine) and I always try to force it. It really is just small section repetition and speed increases.

The reaction is the little like or haha icon on the right hand side of your post. Like the one I have just done on that post

Although the Phasing effect was used in the late 60s, there wasn't actually a standalone effects pedal until 1971. The envelope controlled filter (mu-tron or auto-wah) didn't come out until 1972. Chorus came out in 75 with the roland jazz chorus. The bitcrusher came a lot later. Not even started with synth pedals. Hope that helps

I never got into snapshots so I don't use them, and no patches either. Actually no reason that it isn't like that as the majority of songs are just fairly straight, I just dont do it. Plus our set list has a habit of being more flexable than most bands, so can't really rely on the order we are going to play the songs until a few seconds before we do.

Does it need to be somethign as complicated as a kempler, not maybe just a DI box like the radials and straight in the PA, then you are talking putting it in the bass pocket.

Not how I use the HX effects, I don't have an patches, apart from the main one, I just use them as 6 effects and turn them on or off as required.

And what is the entertainment value in that? I mean genuinely I want to know.. I find it pretty easy to find dumbstruck people around here That is also irritating. When you are looking for a review of something and you end up at an unboxing video - thanks, I can read on the side of the packet what is in it, and most of the other stuff I throw away, I was hoping for some insight into how it worked.

Reaction videos on youtube are one of my current irritations, Its getting hard to find actual things on youtube that aren't someones reaction to that thing! I am completely perplexed as to why someone would watch one of them. I avoided them for ages, then I thought I would watch one in case there was something non obvious I was missing. I watched about 30 seconds of it, and it turned out to be exactly what I thought it was, so I remain in total confusion as to the appeal. I know we all like different things, and if you get some enjoyment from it, I guess its good, but who cares what some random persons reaction is to something? I suppose some could say that channels like Rick Beato is just reactions to songs, but at least there is an analysis there as to how the songs are constructed, not just 'oh this bit is great'

Just to be clear, it is a digital pedalboard with some knobs!

I don't find it easy and I mess up a lot on the part that goes back up. Which is why I use it, it is right on the edge of what I can do, so if the bass is harder to play I almost certainly wouldn't be able to play it. I couldn't play it on a P bass.

I would imagine the 'always with speaker' are related to the previous points about it being used with a valve amplifier - obviously using a valve amplifier without a speaker is going to damage it, whereas it won't be an issue with a solid state amp at all.

I use 'hit me with your rythmn stick' as a guage on ease of use as it is on the edge of what I can play. I can play it on my ibanezes, I could play it on a J I had, but not a P. I can play it on my shuker, it is a bit hard going on the spector. If I get a bass its one of the first things I try. If I can't play it there is no point hanging onto the bass as I will eventually get fed up with it. The wider the string spacing and the higher the action, the harder it gets.
