  1. Probably just as well! But you are right: You are the only one with a popup
  2. John East https://www.east-uk.com/product-category/piezo-preamp-accessories/?v=79cba1185463
  3. I never really minded the knobs until someone mentioned them, then it started to bug me. I got these in the end: That one bugged me a lot, and I didn't like the idea so I took the spring out, so not it is a not locking jack socket!
  4. I almost bought one but the guy got very vague, then stopped talking. Probably just as well
  5. You could stop there! But we know that, this is bad song thread, we have plenty for good songs Sounds more real, and also when you take away the badly pitched vocals you realise what a bad song it is in general!
  6. Mine was too - but it isn't, they are both 14pt, it is just the colour There almost certainly is - just change the default theme to include black text
  7. It isn't, but if someone ask if there is anything about a thing you don't like, you are going to get answers about what people don't like.
  8. Yes, the difference is the font is dark grey here, and black on the BBC. Even though the size is the same. This is what it looks like if you force it black which is a bit clearer and now when I view this page, all text has gone black?
  9. Strangely I get no ads at all now, which seems odd, I don't have any ad filter on or anything (this is on Safari, just updated to 11 after a long holdout)
  10. From a human point of view that looks a bit confusing, but in the grand scheme of programming the thing in the first place, it is the difference between if( numberOfTags > sizeWeWantWithTags) show( "and " + (numberOfTags - numberOfTagsShown) + " more ") and while(numberOfTagsShown < totalTags) { tagSize = CalculateSizeThatNextTagWouldBe (tags[numberOfTagsShown] if( TotalCurrentSize + tagSize > sizeWeWantWithTags) break; AddTagToList(tags[numberOfTagsShown]) totalCurrentSize += tagSize } if( numberOfTags > sizeWeWantWithTags) show( "and " + (numberOfTags - numberOfTagsShown) + " more ") In my own work I would go for the second, but I am paid stupid money to do that rather than doing it for shats and giggles.
  11. Agreed, re differing expectations - I would always expect a larger version. I don't mind them but I hide all sigs that have a large image in them
  12. Yes, we did too, trying to decide if she was serious. Sadly it appears she is! Can't wait for the album! Well, he has at least found the autotune, and you also know it is going to be terrible by the video!
  13. Yes, I used to think that before his brexit thing. Hes gone right down in mine, but I still think he was a good singer for maiden back when I listened to them.
  14. True, can't beat this:
  15. Well, if you think that is bad, she has another song, Fantasy. I don't think its quite as good in general, but the chorus is epic as she does backing harmonies. This should be the right place, but if not, go to 1:22 (or just watch the whole thing). I watched the whole thing, it has a 'peculiar magic' to it. It shows that telling your children to believe in themselves and that they can be anything has a downside.
  16. I always found he was better to listen to when he was signing
  17. No, sorry, there is a winner here. Someone sung this, someone recorded this, someone mixed this, it went past a whole group of people and noone said.. "Hey guys, maybe autotune isn't the devil?" It actually appears from the structure of the song that she is trying to channel the style of Taylor Swift, but Taylor manages to make it work by singing the actual note, rather than some jazz interpretation of it!
  18. At the top of the thread in the top right corner is an elipsis ( . . . ) and edit is under there. Look - its over here-->
  19. I suppose like all lists, that has some stupid entries. A lot of those tracks are just songs that it is clearly uncool to like than genuinely bad songs, Like for instance Rockstar by nickleback, the song that is almost worth liking because it is so trendy to hate. Yes, you could say it was the worst song ever made, but then it is 2xplatinum single and 4.5 million sales. However you spin that, it is not the worst song ever as clearly millions of people liked it enough to buy it. So according to those lists, its a worse song than anything by the shags or anything in this list so far? Barbie girl, yes, terrible but everyone knows it and it sold nearly 2 million singles, so that is worse than anything anyone on here has ever written? Ice Ice baby? A classic, everyone knows it. Agadoo.. Mr blobby.. ok fair cop.
  20. That really does sound like a Eurovision song, with a Eurovision video
  21. They look nice but the videos are a bit offputting!
  22. An ideal pre-amp should be completely transparent, to the point where you should not be able to tell the difference between it being on and off when everything is flat, assuming you have good leads and a reasonable amplifier. What would be the advantage of the pre-amp having a 6dB gain, rather than, say, turning the volume up? It gives you a bass you can't switch to passive without changing your settings, or change basses live (like having a G&L!) I have never heard anyone complaining that the problem they had with the barts was because they are too quiet - the volume is fine on them, just that the pickups are a bit bland. I think if the EHBs had nords, I would have got one by now.
  23. You think that is bad. They are in their 50s now and have to live with that
  24. Shameless plug, posted mine in the amps for sale!
