I read the transcripts, and sorry, still can't see it. I watched the parts of the videos of her in them, and she is clearly just miming along to the videos, and it is very obvious. if people believe that she is playing anything then they are probably idiots, or so far away from being able to make any music that I don't see anyone is losing anything. Compared to half the shit on youtube that actually matters, I think its pretty harmless. What do we expect from youtube and user generated content? Someone I know believes all the stuff he sees on youtube and parrots it with a pasion and a claritiy that I have never had about anything, about how much money the nhs was going to get from brexit, how russia was wronged by the west, how vaxines change your DNA and global warming is a hoax by big science etc - that stuff has consequences, this is some girl who has worked out how to make a few quid from people who want to watch her. I really don't understand how anyone can get annoyed about that?

OK, I suspect I must have missed something by scrolling through the bits with Danny in them, in which case appologies, I will see if there is a transcript available!

I expected sundays gig to be bad, outdoor in a marque for 3 hours in the mid day, so I brought a fan, so did the drummer, so we made a fan table behind us and it was great Maybe we can market the fan table!

She isn't trying to fool anyone, she is just air guitaring along to some music, as people have done for years. Is he going to get outraged at the air guitar competitions they have next? I mean I wouldn't watch her videos but she certainly isn't as irritating as watching Danny Sapko!

Well, I can be the counter counter! We are a pub cover band, but regardless to that we do get asked to play peoples weddings. we are not a function band and not 'professional' in the function band sense, but we are professional in the 'turn up and play what people want' way. We have played a fair few weddings, 2 in the last couple of months, we charge a fraction of what others charge, so more the £200 each than the £400 each you are talking about, but people have always seemed happy and we have had nice messages after the weddings. The common thing in all the weddings is that we have been specifically asked by people who have seen us, so there is no surprise, we aren't advertising ourselves as a wedding band but if people want us, we are happy to do it, and they know what they are going to get.

Same here - and this is the first place I put one of the blanking plugs!

Didn't know such things existed, now I have just got a load of them I ordered. One thing that bugs me is wiring the PA, connecting the lead, going all the way round the back of everyone else, get to the mixer and.. its the wrong way round, because the pa has in and out sockets. Same as the lights.

I do have a black strap with a racing orange stripe which I like (as it is on an orange bass), but not a right on one. I just got a right on paisley red for my red ric.

So for the same reason we pronounce jpeg as jfeg, as the p is for photographic?

Don't think it makes you special

Well, thats not how it is supposed to work!

Lots of things. P basses, J basses.. I guess fender basses. There is this whole 'you have to have one' but the P is like the Harley Davidson of the bass world, iconic, clunky and not that great The jazz is better but not that much. But yet I keep wanting a Jazz, buying it, realising it has too few strings to be useable and getting rid of it. Effects Pedals - they all basically do the same thing don't they, but they all have faults or are too expensive, or you just don't have the space for them Small mixers, like the flow 8 - too small and restrictive to do anything with, maybe unless you were keyboard players, with not many keyboards Iconic bass guitars - they are no better than the others, they just cost more and noone can tell the difference without using their eyes

Or as I did, retune it to F# (F# B E A D) - works well on my Sei!

Did exactly that a few weeks ago, much puzzled searching for the lack of sound. result, the same, receiver has red insulation tape around it. When I was looking at new wireless the other day, I noticed that the fender telepath one has different coloured rx and tx, made me wonder why that wasn't a thing!

And did they get your point or just think you were being over dramatic? I mean do you think it will actually have an effect and make them realise that there is a problem?

From the Jam in weymouth, we went and sat in the hall outside, where it was quite a good volume. In your position, seeing as I am wireless I would have probably gone and stood outside, maybe the levels were better there!

would love some of those strip lights, but I already bought all the PA and I got some PAR lights as the first gig we did was almost in dark, so I am not buying any more!

Wow - your vat is high in scotland!

Looks like your wiring has been modified. With the original wiring in passive mode the switch bypasses anything to do with the battery and routes the sound from the volume control straight to the jack socket.

One of a kind masterpiece? Well, that is reassuring and certainly some way of putting it

No it doesn't affect the VU, the Passive / Active switch makes a big difference though. I never get it high on most basses other than the bongo though, but I would think that the G&L wouldn't have an issue.

I use it on 'who knew' by pink.

As mentioned, mine produce noise if I plug them in straight, but if I plug them in to a lead that is connected to the input, the noise goes away, so I guess it needs the filter network of a guitar cable to filter out the noise. Interested to hear what the A58s are like, I looked at those (and the fender ones) as a replacement for the WS90/WS70s I use but haven't picked anything yet.

No, he had several but he had a 62 jazz bass that he used for most of zeppelin recording and gigs.
