Not necessarily. Provide good service and people will come back. I always pop into wunjos if I am in london and although it is a while since I bought something there (a freltess), one day will coincide them having something I really want with the justification of getting it!

I don't know, the first bass line I saw of it being done sounded pretty similar to the sound on the recording. I just looked at the first cover in the search, directly after listening to the original (as I couldn't remember which song it was). I am not specifically arguing your point as to whether you want to do it on bass or not, but it sounded pretty good to me. But then I am not one to do a tribute cover

No. But then I can't imagine someone walking to a golf course that is 30 seconds in the direction they were travelling anyway for pleasure either, so I suspect my imagination isn't great enough to understand someone wanting to play golf!

Your fave bass tech works in a local cell phone store? That seems a little bit of a waste of talent!

No, it means that it was found out to be not up to the standard, so sold cheap as a decoration.

I must admit that I am not - a lot of music shops that shut down deserved to shut down. Most music shops you go into these days are better than they were when I was young. It is rare you get the same level of contempt and inconvenience in shops than you used to get. All a bricks and mortar shop has these days is service - guitars are made very well these days and a lot more consistent so online purchases are an option. If I try a bass in a shop that I want and I like it, I will get it in that shop if I get at least a basic level of service.

I was in a well know city built heavily around Roman plumbing at the other end of my county the other day to visit my mother. While we were in town my wife and mother were looking in a shop and I sloped off to see their guitar shop. I got there and noticed the basses were now at ground level, and the staff were also all at that level, and decided I wasn't feeling up to that level of patronisation so I didn't bother!

Is that what you think?

Not in Milwaukee

About 40 miles. Did a wedding over near that way some time ago, but nothing in the small towns. It would be pointless my current group doing anything in a place with a limiter, in fact if someone contacted us and said they had one, I wouldn't take the booking.

The only place I have played that had a volume limiter had an extension lead running around the bar, as the volume limiter was a non starter for any amplified band. Apparently went off with acoustic acts they had on Sundays too.

Playing at a venue we play at often in our home town (a cancellation - we seem to be top of the cancellation list!) and it was excellent, heaving from the start, which is unusual, we are used to the first half being a warmup to the second, but it was really busy and people were dancing. Messed up a few things due to the first time I used a 6 string bass (which I got this week), and a few other things that I didn't have an excuse for. Don't know if it is just a combination of things, but the last 2 nights in that pub have been heaving, where it used to be mostly empty and just used for people to drink before moving on. Either way, not complaining.

Its an advent 4211 http://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/advent-4211-netbook Just because I have had it for 7 years running windows XP (but picked at the time as it could ran macosx). Nothing special about it now, and I imagine it and other things better than it could be get for really cheap on eBay. The software for recording is Mixtools: https://forum.musictri.be/showthread.php?8118-XR18-Recording-MIXTOOLS/page27 basically gives you a window with 18 boxes that you can turn on if you want to record on that channel and a record, stop and play button. When you record it produces a wav file for each channel you have asked it to record in a folder. I have found it is a good idea to press stop / record again every so often to make the files easier to handle and stop the occasional problem where a tiny bit is missing from a track and then you get out of sync. Almost imperceptible but it takes ages if you want to resync things. You can just copy those files off and dump them in Logic / garage band / DAW of choice. If someone walked off with it / broke it, it would be a minor irritation.

This is why I have a netbook for live recording. I don't want to take my nice expensive macbook that contains my entire life into a pub, so I take a cheap netbook that is not worth anything. It records all channels to wav, then I come home, copy it onto a disk and copy it to a mac and put it into logic where I can process it to my hearts content. I don't do anything on the netbook apart from the recording.

What of an 18 channel mixer with multiple effects and multiple bus masters? Yes, they did, but not at the level a pub band could afford or carry in a small bag!

We do that, so I know what you mean. All is fine but if I decide I want to sing at one point it can fall apart!

Bought a new Nordy Big Blade 5 now (just the one), I will see what it is like when I get it. I also found out last night it has a Pull frequency knob on the middle control. Which is remarkably subtle and doesn't seem worth the effort! I think the real problem with the preamp might be the pots are just a bit rubbish, which would correspond with all my previous experience of ibanez electronics.

Anything can do what you are asking. I use an old acer netbook that came with windwos XP to connect to my X18 live and it works fine. I have also used my wifes old original macbook air running garage band, and that works fine A 54,000 rpm speed harddisk will almost certainly be good - that is 10 times faster than the 5,400 ones you normally get Although seriously I wouldn't use a spinning hard disk for anything other than single access storage these days.

Haha - I would love those but they would have to be in a colour sequence rather than just random Always wanted to try coloured strings but people said that they don't sound very good. Maybe I need to get some for a bass I don't play much!

I found one accidenly yesterday playing from one YouTube to another. Paradise by Sade, a 2011 live version. There are literally only 4 notes in the whole song, but it is those 4 notes in that position and that rhythm every 5 seconds for 6 minutes!

I did that in my previous band and remember that it was a bit of a pain to start with, but once you have all the possible variations you can vary them around (and if you look at videos, he did) strangely when going through old songs the other day it’s a song I never forgot how to do, whereas others I couldn’t remember at all. I guess that is based on how much time you spent with each!

Suppose that is handy if you have freakishly big hands, me? I’m more presidential An SRC6 you say? Like the one I sold here last week and the BC”er should be picking up from the post office today?

That is more a table than a neck! Also, I couldn't live with those string colours in that order - clearly the purple should be between the red and the blue, and the green doesn't make sense at all!

Certainly sounds like the sort of scale I was thinking of. If I get on with a 6 in general, maybe at some point I will look to get something made with a smaller spacing - so 9mm would be 45 + 3, that sounds like the sort of thing I would be happier with. Still trying to decide if I am ready to risk playing a 6 string at the gig tomorrow!
