I also have a music iPad, which doesn't get updated, it runs the plugins I need for gigging, there is no need for an update for those, they work fine.

I will say that the boss ME90B has some great sounding fuzz, overdrive and distortion that sounds sort of like boss standalone versions of the above. Also the chorus takes me back to the day in 1981 when I bought a boss chorus pedal - like exactly the same. Shame I don't really use chorus much really. Envelope filters it has too, the synth stuff isn't great though, which is a shame as you think they could throw something in there that sounded at least like an SY1.

And I wouldn't - I had to run a Windows XP machine as a separate device for several years to access a specific bit of software. There was a lot of broken things moving, most manufacturers fixed their stuff, some were no longer there to do so. In fact all around the country are legacy computers running old systems with people hoping they don't die so that they can keep doing what they were doing.

They are, and really low noise. Wouldn't change mine. Well, I might for the battery one now.

Dont' see why a peavy is that bad at that gig?

It does mount with two bolts through the bottom (note that mine aren't like the ones in the picture, I used the adjustable feet that came with the original board, as I got the power bar separately later, and prefered the other feet. Can't see what the bolt is offhand, other than it measures 7mm with a caliper across.

Someone who makes a living making stringed instruments. Don't see it matters your training or history, if that is your full time job, that is what you are.

Yep, dingwall combustion. But traded it for an Ibanez 1605 and that was lovely.

Yes it is there still at the bottom of the list.

I have had my X18 mixer since 2017, and before that I had an XR16 for most of a year, and i have not once used the headphone output! As you say, maybe there is some use for it, I never found it.

Ours has at least 2 for when he breaks a string, which is really quite often.

Indeed - I don't like unfinished headstocks, unless it is on an unfinished bass. I guess I mean non matching headstocks!

Or just have an angled neck and not have to mess about with string trees at all!

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.
