I think the most notable thing from the video apart is actually what it said about job availability. Back in those days you could quit your job, it didn't work out with your band, you get another job. People same age now couldn't do that. That and the changing for the group

You will find out playing them - it becomes obvious after a short while what goes down well wehre. We have a very varied set list, and although there are different songs that go down better with different crowds, there are always some that are more popular than others

Because a FET overdrives in almost exactly the same way as a valve.

Almost certainly an analogue pedal. It is far cheaper and easier to build an analogue preamp than a digital one so very unlikely it would be that seeing as it is just a preamp with tone controls.

I think about the 600 vs 300, there is no situation that I can think of where the 600 wouldn't be enough. I can think of situations where the 300 might not be, so as a result, if you just want the 1 amp and to not think about it again, the 600 is a good bet.

In any band that the ELF would keep up obviously the AMB300 would also be fine. There are loud bands and loud bands, and obviously different efficiency speakers!

I have the 600 - used to gig it into 2 8r cabs, but now I just use the BC 8 ohm cab, and have never got to the not loud enough stage.

I will say that although I think their site is an improvement, their weekly email isn't - before it was just a text list of things that they had, esp including used basses grouped by strings which let you see if there was anything interesting. now it is a load of very small pictures. I am only really interested in 5 strings, thats hard to see on a picture!

I have 2 speakons that worked fine on my TC450 to speaker if you used them the right way round, but didn't work the other way round. I cured that by putting tape around the end that needed to be by the amp!

oh sorry - I just saw the schematic and assumed it was a single pole one! But yes, like that. Good for power control and doesn't interfere with the few wireless units that don't like stereo plugs (not sure what they are but they have been mentioned).

Not necessarily - there are jack sockets with actual switches on them. They used to be more common than they are now, but they certainly must still be around.

I rarely bring a stand if I only have one bass - it is either in its bag or I am playing it.

ok, I hadn't noticed that you couldn't click the pictures, that is annoying, and is not something to do with the site, it is something in the setup. Woocommerce is just a free ecommerce platform, very configurable - it was one of the ones I looked at last time I had to update a site (which has yet to be updated due to fear of change). I can see some issues with the site obviously, but somethings are less important. The weight colum for instance - wtf is the point of that? I know weight is important to bass players but I never heard anyone said 'I only play basses that are 4.1kg, not 100g more or less'. I am aware that it is important to have the fast checkout, I wasn't comparing the site with amazon*, i was comparing it with the old site which I assume is a similar number of clicks - I don't remember it being slick before. * I never compare anything with amazon, it isn't a site I ever use.

if you like cheese, and you like peas...

People will always say what they don't like, but in reality, none of those will stop anyone from buying anything they were going to buy anyway, so where they should listen to peoples opinions, they have to bear in mind that these are just random peoples opinions when asked and unless there are real useabilty issues, they aren't that important. Also they have to consider this is a bass guitar shop run by a very small company, not a eCommerce show room. This is a standard modern site (a woocommerce one) - I am not sure I get the '2015 ecommerce site', like everything has to change every year?? It seems to do the job and everything works. I think they have done fine. All sites have issues, but this seems to work a lot better than what they had, and makes it much clearer - obviously if you were used to the previous it might annoy as you want things to stay the same, but if you came from fresh to both sites, the old one would seem pretty poor.

I have a USB expression pedal - maybe I should try connecting that. Its actually more as it has and audio interface in it too. But ignoring that I would think it could be useable. Except I am not sure of anything I would express on the bass!

Mine has been at the clearing customs stage since the 28th. Nice to know there is another customs stage when they get out! Still, they have til september by their original quote so can't complain.

Much more generic, but no less friendly. I mean that is the way web pages tend to be now. I found it pretty easy to find what I was looking for, possibly more so than before. Looks fine.

I have the ones on the left on the bottom row, next to the nux 2.4GHz ones, I use them in the house. My 5.8GHz ones look a bit like the ones next to them except they aren't amoon. And I also have (and have never actually used!) the red and black ones directly above those, which claim to be stereo. Oh and obviously the waza airs work with something that look like those boss ones. None of the 2.4GHz ones are useable plugged into the bongo, but the 5.8 ones are. The 2.4 work with everything else.

I am not sure there anything to prove that. I prefer budget stuff, I just don't do android (although I do program for it sometimes)

That is litterally the market here. But more the point is that my gigging iPad has a release date of Oct 2014, and has the latest but one operating system on it, so it runs pretty well anything, it runs the tablet controllers and it also used to run my synths (it obviously still could by I do it differently now). It is actually an art form to stop the iPad from updating to the latest system. I am not looking to replace it any time soon, and if I do it will probably just because it gets broken by some drunk guy at a gig falling on my microphone stand. If you look at the android OS distribution, they are less commonly upgraded.

Ooh so it is on its way. I only wondered as mine is also currently in customs, but it only got there on the 28th, so probably a while yet based on yours!

Thats all androids. If you then take the values between the last few iOs versions and the last few android versions, the market share is very different and the iOS figures are ahead. On the same site it has market share on android https://www.statista.com/statistics/271774/share-of-android-platforms-on-mobile-devices-with-android-os/ and also note that most of these devices are being used on tablets complicates matters much more: https://www.statista.com/statistics/273840/global-market-share-of-tablet-operating-systems-since-2010/ If you are writing a current app and don't want to have to write against an old SDK to cope with the old systems, the iOS route is easy. Yes, i have some old android devices round here with > 5 year old OSs on them, but all my iOS devices are pretty well up to date (or within one system version). As some of the posts round here say: So that is probably some old underpowered android tablet that will make your product look quite poor while preventing your writing for whatever the latest samsung or whatever is - where is the incentive for a developer to develop for that?

I think it is just much simpler to use a preamp that works at the battery voltage provided
