they did - thats what i mean, they used to have that (and wasn't there a PMT in plymouth?), but no longer.

The gigs are still good, I think the rehearsals with my main group that might end up pushing me out of the game!

Good clips, if nothing else, it does tell you to avoid the 3 octave up mode!

Yeh, PMT used to be quite good for bass stuff until they moved, only went in a few times after they moved and they weren't as good. But there were others down your way, such as dawsons, in exeter, but they didn't have that much.

Point of order, there aren't any half decent outlets with any choice in Bristol!

Well, some good scavenging there then! Will keep facebook fullerton marketplace busy for a while!

What was skipped? (for those of us that can't get more than 2 seconds through a Sapko youtube!)

Hope it goes better than it appears and all is well soon Greg.

Ah, sorry, didn't know that, I just use the file or a polishing block to do that.

Yeh, I wouldn't have put up with that, I would join the ranks of the bassplayers that had left (or probably more likely been sacked for turning the top and bottom knob of the bongo flat out, the middle two off and slapping the whole set - trebbly enough for you?)

Slipknot - Duality, which was a lot trickier than I was expecting, and Muse, Unravelling. I mean I am also learning Staying out for the summer by tricky for the other group, but as we haven't had a practice for a while, which means that when we get back together the guitarist will a have forgotten it again and take the practice to relearn it, I am not putting too much effort into it!

Well, there is one on eBay but not sure how much I trust that advert!

I think for me, now I see I can have a couple of presets, the XS-1 is probably going to be the right one, no room for a XS-100 and no use for the expression pedal on a pitch shifter.

Although it is a bit of a pain, £25 doesn't seem too much considering that you be getting less money second hand anyway

So reading the manual, am I right that you could have 3 presets? It says in the manual that using a dual footswitch you can set what the footswitch does by pressing it and setting the controls. That means you could have two for the footpedals, and one for the button? In which case I can emulate a footswitch with my midi controller so that would be fine

Well, the ric is doing well, but I have only just got it so it is too early to say how good it is and I am happy with my new XVive A58, but I haven't gigged them yet. I am struggling to think of something I bought this year that i feel much about - in all honesty so far the best thing I have got this year is a K&R microphone stand that has been great!

Thought you were going to send it back? that would be a better deal

https://www.crimsonguitars.com/collections/fretting/products/fret-rocker-for-guitar-bass-and-now-mandolin-and-ukulele Just over £20 for a fret rocker, the new one has expanded a bit to cover other instruments, but I have had my older style crimson fret rocker a long time (which was closer to the stumac shape) and its been great. I can't imagine importing stuff directly from the US at those prices when there are all the tools you need made just down the A37!

Came today, nice box and seem ok, quite chunky but not too heavy - wouldn't have killed them to make the transmitter and receiver a bit more visibly different from each other, but can put a label on one. Tried them briefly tonight and they seem very quiet which is good, will have to try them with the effects pedals to see how they go but promising so far. i do like that you can replace the batteries.

You shouldn't need a driver, you just have to connect to the iPad by USB and then core audio should see it. I don't know about cubasis but I assume it should see it if it is available. What sort of interface are you using?

Apart from the presets does it actually do more than the XS1 then? Its a shame that they didn't do it like the SY1 and SY200, really my big problem with it is the size - I don't want a foot pedal, so it is a pain having to make enough room to have one - if I could get something the XS1 size with midi, it would be about as perfect as it could be. Maybe they will make an XS50 at some point for people like me!

Does it have an Midi capability to allow it to do that? <looks> Oh how irritating is that. No it doesn't have midi to change that, but the XS-100 does! I think the XS-100 is out of my range, currently too expensive but probably more significantly too big to put on a board!

Crimson has a new style of fret rocker if people want something a bit cheaper!
