Or mentioning you have a hooker to get rid of...
-
So can someone else from your group book it? Its not like they are checking
-
A bit down so it isn't as loud as the main vocals. It can't be a figure, because it depends on the singer.

I kick myself for not getitng one just after the brexit change when Thomman were kicking them out at €1350, even with taxes that would have been pretty good, but didn't know what getting stuff imported was like at the time. By the time they had that sorted themselves they were gone and never came back. Problem with rics are they are just too expensive for what they are worth for me - at under 1.5k I am happy to go for one, at over that they have to be special, and they aren't really special enough.

Like the bass line i played in this video

And it is often called hate when it is hate. No, people who disagree are just people with different points of view, and that is ok. Thats why we have a forum, loads of dissagreement, but ultimately we try to keep the hate out, there is enough out there already. -
I presume to work out where the dead hookers are coming from?

I have since found that if I connect a guitar cable between my wireless receiver and the input of my mod dwarf (or boss ME90), it then becomes completely noise free. So it just seems to need the full filter network of a guitar cable to remove the noise!

Frankly I doubt most people will see it, you turn up unannounced on a forum, and post a link to a dodgy website saying 'heres my video', only a very small percentage of people will click it (luckily, no way should you click something like that - I used a browser with all the defenses and private mode on so it couldn't do any damage). Ultimately music is about what you feel, and if it makes him happy then so be it, that is enough for art (although judging by his other videos he doesn't seem very happy), but it is like some people i know that paint who are objectively terrible. it makes them happy to paint, it just makes other people less happy when asked what they think! -

Yes, it was formed as a 'video streaming site where videos can't be censored', so basically hate speech -
Or even a bit less for somewhere decent!

I think it is meant to sound like getting a lot of stoned people and swapping the instruments around between them, and then pressing record on a recording device. -
It was a spam, same type, probably same person, quote a long post, put a spam link in the end, comment 'thats interesting' or something at the end, and noone notices the spam.
-
Really like that colour (shade?). Another thing is the amount of matt cars, so much better than shiny, need more basses like that too!

The future of amps & cabs - stage props only?
Woodinblack replied to SimonK's topic in Amps and Cabs
I don't see an irony, if they are doing what you want thats fine, it is your choice. -
Indeed I don't get it - weddings pay way more than playing the same songs in a pub gig, simply because of a bit of extra fuss and hassle, and frankly, this wasn't much hassle.
-
It is smaller, which was your complaint! Although having used some of the MVave stuff, I doubt it would sound as good as the ME-90B
-
I would say contrary to above that if you want something to put into a daw, there is no harm playing it on the bass and then doing the pitch to note conversion afterwards, because latency then doesn't matter, and you can manually tidy it up afterwards as there are no real time constraints. There is no harm using midi bass live if the latency isn't an issue ie, you are not playing fast lines or you can preplay which is fairly easy, or you are using slow synth sounds such as pads for sweeping notes. For any kind of fast stuff, it doesn't really make any sense as it is far easier to use a keyboard.

I willl also say that I have now noticed that in 8 years of gigging I have had 3 sets of comments about my basses 1) Does your bass have 5 strings? How does that work then - had that twice 2) Is that a bongo bass (it was the wrongo, ironically not mentioned since i had a real bongo) - once 3) Oh thats a fancy bass - it was my checkerboard fireman bass - once 4) Oh your playing a rickenbacker, they sound so good - now at 7 times, including 2 at the day gig. I have had the rick since december. In fact, there have now been only 4 or 5 gigs with the ric when noone commented about it

Actually probably one of the reasons I wasn't so keen on the outdoor gig is that I didn't have IEMs, it wasn't as much fun
-
Busy day yesterday. We had the first gig from 2-3 at an outdoor 'festival' like thing in dorset, that we had done 3 years in a row. They had this thing where there were electric bands on the truck in the garden and acoustic bands in the teepee thing next to it between, so 1 hour for each - but it was exactly 1 hour for each, so you got on the stage, set up, plugged in, they did a line check and then you waited for your time to go and there was no gap, so obviously sound wasn't good on stage, and not so great outside as there was no time to setup. But it went down ok - it was raining a little when we were setting up, but by the time we played it was very sunny and well attended. All in all there was a nice atmosphere there and it was a good afternoon. I would have stayed longer but in the evening we had to be back nearer home for a wedding. The wedding we got to at 6 but they were doing speeches so we had to wait outside and not make noise. We waited for a while, they had finished the speeches but the staff wanted to move all the tables, we waited another half an hour, so finally it was closer to 7 by the time we set up to be ready by 8, for some reason it took a while to get ready as everyone was in each others way. Did the first hour, there was noone in the building, they were all outside in the sun, which sort of makes sense, way of weddings. Then it was time for food so everyone came back in and I put music on on the ipad, we went back on at half 9 to play to 11:15, the guitarist was very grumpy to go past 11. But the second half was dancing all the way through and we went down a storm so that was good. We couldn't play the last encore as it was 11:16 so the guitarist wouldn't play, and he had to be home in 5 minutes after that, so he went, but the singer stayed to help me with the PA Very profitable day all in all and got all the gigs for the weekend over and done with in a day
-
Actually very good. But only because we did a multiband outdoor gig where someone else was doing the sound earlier in the day, so to get back to using my PC felt like coming home, I could hear everything and we sounded good!
-
Agree with the practice. You cant think about two things at once, so at least one of those things has to be automatic. I have no trouble doing it until I get lost on the vocals and then everything falls apart.

Choose a file to upload window keeps opening.
Woodinblack replied to dave_bass5's question in Site Issues and Questions
It looks exactly the same on the PC and Mac. Never actually thought about it, or accidently clicked the choose files thing, but I can look into options there if it is enough of a hassle for people. -
Wow - the previous owner must have spent a lot of time soloing around the 20th fret to get that kind of wear!

Wireless IEMs: Xvive U4 & alternatives
Woodinblack replied to Al Krow's topic in Accessories and Misc
Yeh, I replaced mine and it has been fine but mostly I am using the MS-1s these days, I keep them with me though. I got a bit spoiled after joining another group that had a spare P-16, and now mono IEMs seem a lot harder work.
