    I loved doing you should be dancing, and it went down a storm as we segued into Does your mother know when it gets to the instrumental part, but can't do that anymore as our keyboard player left, and it sounds a bit empty with a bass and a guitar!

    It is quite a striking loss, so I am sure you will see it eventually. we have no shortage of places to play at the moment (pub covers), but since I have joined my current main band, 6 venues in my local town (2 of which weren't pubs and did a variety of music) have closed for good, and 2 new ones have opened. This is quite a small town, so it is noticable.

    I would have thought they would be the same? I have only had one dingwall and quite a lot of ibanezs but I didn't get that feel from my dingwall.

    Yeh, I had this before with one singer and drummer, I felt annoyed afterwards I had accepted it rather than pointing out that it was actually more my band than theirs. However we watched them over the next few years go through successions of guitarists / female singers / bass players before they finally seemed to give up. It was clear the weak area was the singer, I guess even if you refuse to accept you are the weak link at some point you get fed up trying to find out why everyone else is wrong. I was annoyed at the start, but the time they split up I was quite dissapointed I wouldn't be able to keep up with their facebook posts introducing the new singer / guitarist, and the next post saying about that same person going off to explore other avenues. You dodged a bullet, find someone else, make a new group, but yes, get in touch with the singer. If they signed on for a cafe / wine bar vibe they are probably not going to be happy doing blues
  6. Woodinblack
    Is the singer ok with that? Looks like you need to start another wine-bar vibe band with someone more reliable.
  7. Woodinblack
    That is often the way!

    Why would you be updating the apps you use on a gigging iPad? I have an iPad for iPadding, like the latest thing, and I have a cheap iPad air which runs the mixer / lyrics / Some soft synths (though not currently, it used to). It does exactly what it did the day I loaded that software, and will continue doing so until it fails or gets replaced with something else, gets smashed falling off a stand (which note it has done many times, the falling, not the smashing), or gets nicked.

    For the same price the Luminute graviton will do that. And can talk to the MVave probably

    get a metal box, two speakon circuits, a jack socket and a bit wire, join them together in a box and job is done! Although it doesn't help if the speaker has a jack socket too. Other option, replace that plate with one with two speakon sockets.
  11. Woodinblack
    Mine is almost the same except the exact opposite. But still it can be fun!
  12. Woodinblack
    Yes it would, but the problem with that is a) the ABY might have signal level rather than speaker level wires, but maybe not, there isn't much in one after all, and B) they are designed to switch, which means if you accidently trod on it and switched the output off so it wasn't connected, you would present an open output to the valve amp and things inside would get pretty hairy quite quickly. Ultimately if this is a scenario that you envision happening a lot, just take the ABY box, and bypass the swich so it is always connected.

    How about 1 x £3,000 one, you can do that no problem!
  14. Woodinblack
    OK, there is a limit on the 'Paid' marketplaces, which is Basses for sale (and sub-forums such as left handed), Amps and Cabs and Other musical items on items that are above £50 where you can only create a new entry if you have created less than 10 other sales since the same day in the previous month. Note you can have many more sales than 10 open at the same time, you just can't start them if you have started 10 or more in the last month So for instance if you created a sale post for a £300 bass today (28th May) and then every 3 days, trying to create your tenth bass sale would fail on the 24th June with a 1650 error and you would not be able to create that post until the 28th June. However, if you changed that and created sales every 4 days, you would never hit the limit.
  15. Woodinblack
    There is a limit on how many for sale items can be opened within a calendal month. I think it might cover just basses, but memory is a bit hazy and not in a position to check, I will do though

    The Old p16 had two LEDs, a green one for activity and a red one for select. From what I read (and this was one of the complaints) the LED in the new P16 is a combined Red / Green so instead of seeing red and green when it is selected and has a signal, you see yellow as both red and green are on at the same time
  17. Woodinblack
    I would think that but then I see the local facebook groups and realise that it isn't going to make a difference.
  18. Woodinblack
    Because there is sound coming from those channels I guess. The red one is the one you are adjusting (or I think on the HQ, the one that has gone yellow).
  19. Woodinblack
    Yes Note that there are two P16, as there is a new one just come out, I have only used the older one, but might get a new one. Each green light lights up when there is a sound coming through that channel. if you have nothing selected you can turn the volume / bass / treble etc up. If you select a channel, you can change the volume (and tone) of that channel, and its left / right balance. It is really simple and obvious to use.

    I have a lekato MS-1, it works in stereo. I am going from a p16 personal mixer through the MS1 to my ears and have been very happy with it, the 3 practices and 2 gigs I have used it on (actually a P16 in practice, straight out the back of an X18 live - not my P16!)

    Dingwall combusion. Got this a decade ago and didn't hit it off with it much, it didn't really have a good sound in it, even though it was nice to play. Went to an audition with a local group, tried playing stuff and it sounded bad. The guitarist asked me if I had a different bass, I did, i had a Hofner cricket bat with me as a backup, he loved the sound of it. Got home, put it up for sale, did an exchange for an Ibanez 1605 which was on paper not a great trade but one that I was really happy about. over 10 years later, the ibanez is still sitting behind me as I type. I would like to think it was a friday bass, but TBH, I wouldn't ever buy a dingwall without trying it

    if you click the edit button on the first post it lets you also edit the title. Add the word sold at the end, and it will auto lock and mark as sold. Also 'withdrawn' or 'traded'

    I had seen that image in a facebook post before, when I didn't know about the story and had ignored. I don't think I would want to see them anyway!
  24. Woodinblack
    Thats exactly what I assumed.
  25. Woodinblack
    I always wished I didn't get a cinder red pulse 1 when they came out.
