I still miss my Ibbenbacker that got stolen from me about 40 odd years ago.

Or stand on a bassboard and really feel it!

It does in some things. If you went to a Rock or metal gig, you would expect to see a whole load of marshals along the back, even if they weren't being used. Otherwise it just looked wrong. In other groups, it is probably less important, or you don't even notice.

Well, yes they are, which is why i have something acting like a preamp, or basically an imperfect amplifier. I don't either, I generally play through my big headphones, or sometimes with an amp, but when I am playing at home I am not competing with any other musicians.

I am not sure how it is a compromise? I would think it would give you more control over your sound. Honestly I can hear my low end so much better on IEMs than I ever could live, I am really enjoying it. I can have a mix which is just the things I want to hear without having to compromise on listening to some guitarist flat out - I want to hear me, I want to hear vocals, I want to hear the drums, I can hear the guitars but nowhere near as loud as they are compared to everything else live. I have seen them in a couple of places but in general most don't.

And I see them on both firefox and chrome on the Mac.

I see the dl=1 images on firefox on the PC, I see big broken squares on the mac on safari.

I noticed when looking that if you copy the link it downloads the image, rather than showing the image. A quick google tells me that if you change the download thing in dropbox from download to share, it might work, and if you take your link and change the end dl=1 to dl=0 it means you can see the image, maybe that is true, although it has a banner above saying 'someone shared this with you', so I don't know if that will intefere with it. But it seems to be based on the shared settings anyway..

I have the MVave/Lekato cube turner and it is good, but I tend to use the MVave Chocolate now, battery good, but 4 buttons, so page up / down, song back / next using onsong

Seems to come back the same for me in both spellings. Obviously our google search is tailored by our previous searches, maybe you were installing outdoor lighting?

I guess you use a different method than me then, I just typed 'what is gaslighting' in google, the AI thing at the top described it, the top link was wikipedia that covered both lighting with gas and the gaslighting in question, the second was the national domestic violence hotline, the third another medical thing and the following 10 links were about gaslighting as an abuse. Maybe time to update your search method? I suppose we all have different levels of curiosity, but I do find it odd that someone would find a term they didn't understand and then not look it up using the vast and almost instantaneous access to information that no previous generation has had such easy access to.

Well, I do as if I find a term that I don't understand I use the internet to find out what it means.

Is that straight from the USB?

Steve wilson last night in Bristol. Preface with saying I wasn't so keen on his current album and I am aware this is a tour for that album so hes going to play that and I am probably nnot going to like it more. he did, and I didn't. However the second half had a lot of the older stuff (where older is the previous album back) and a lot of that I really enjoyed, only tempered slightly by people in front of us who obviously had to shout louder as the band were interrupting their conversation. I think venues should have dedicated areas for people who want to have a conversation instead of watching the band they came to see. Nick Beggs is obviously happy to get his Wal 2 pro back, he played that most of the night and seemed to be enjoying himself on it. On the parts where it was just him and drums, the bass did sound pretty good, rather growly. Sound was pretty good apart from maybe a bit too bass heavy as it was vibrating a bit much. Still great day out, great meal before, and I made a point of parking on the exit floor of the car park as last time I was there I was on the 8th (exit on the 2nd) and it took about half an hour to get out!

My last two proper bands were JoinMyBand, another one due to people who knew me for the first band, and a band I have just joined looked me up on bandmix (but I can't reply on that so I did a search for them and saw them advertising on my local facebook music scene group)

This, which was trickier as I hadn't heard of it before last week.

Which is pretty well what you quoted that I said - we don't have a feed, we dont' have algorithms that agrigate content and decide what to push to you or recommend. what you see is either everything or topics you have posted in, or been quoted in etc. and you could choose that. We can't rely on not having young people, there is nothing in place to establish the age of the users, which is why we try and keep the worst stuff out of the topics like the meme threads - yes, I know as people say kids see worse stuff than that at school and at home, but we are not liable for that. I think you will find there are more than that. I can think of over 20

Of course there is, there always was. I just don't believe a guitarist who says he is going to do it

Quantic? Not sure what that is. If you mean quantum then no, otherwise it could have both values at the same time

no, its a number, one number is much the same as another number to a computer. Something is changing it, unknown what it is.

And other such believable lines such as "cheque is in the post" 😀

Obviously - a reissue isn't designed to fake an original, it is designed to look similar, have the same design cues and capture the same asthetic. It doesn't fake a 60s serial number, or other such things. Nothing wrong particualy with relicing, if that is what people want, that isn't trying to fool anyone, I mean one flea jazz looks exactly like every other flea jazz, and again, is a copy of a thing, not trying to fake.

Not sure there is a justification for an accurate copy other than scamming people. Even if your justification isn't actually money, your intent is to fool people to thinking that a bass is something it isn't when examined close up

Yes, there is a big issue that makes no sense and is causing problems, the front end (cloudflare) has a pointer to where the site is, the pointer decided to point to the old site (basschat and guitarchat as I am sure you will remember changed server at the start of feb), now the old site no longer exists, we revert it to the new site, it stays pointing at it for a few hours and then it changes itself for reasons unknown to point to the old site again (which isn't there) and goes offline.

Hmm.. Yes, seems unresponsive - it was up yesterday as I went to it during the day. Will check
