The foot switch is supposed to have momentary buttons not latching. You'll find that Digitech's 3 way foot switch will work too.

[quote name='sammybee' timestamp='1466536311' post='3076644'] I can offer a different perspective. I did a skype lesson with Antony Wellington awhile back. I found it very natural - but then i do have a 46" tv with cameras and skype It was just like being in the studio with him. It helped that Antony really knows what he's doing and he has the skype lesson thing down to a T. [/quote] Don't get me wrong in my response, it IS possible to do Skype, but it certainly has it's limitations no matter how good the teacher is. I'd still be able to deliver a great lesson using Skype, but I suppose I don't just 'teach bass', I offer way more music related services to all of my students.

Skype can work, but certain requirements need to be met to make it the sort of experience that I would be happy teaching. Due to the interactive software that I use to teach my students, Skype was a problem. In that respect, I found it limiting as I couldn't draw on a massive catalogue of material that I usually would face to face unless I had prepared a specific lesson that used it. Furthermore it was a problem if my student was at the end of a bad connection and trying to view my 'teaching space' on a small laptop screen. Not all students are IT literate and would rather not have to be instructed what to change on their screen so they can see the material correctly in lesson time. Skype isn't really designed for that sort on interactive experience anyway and thus I personally would look for a 'online meeting platform' instead. The online offerings that I have looked at briefly aren't really conducive to the way I teach anyway. I'm not a 'Mrs Miggins at the piano' sort of teacher and thus my 'hands on jamming' approach for example is difficult through a 13" portal that suffers from dire latency!

Hi Sammybee! In the past I used Cubase quite a lot on PC based systems. I stopped using Cubase and switched to one of the other DAWs you mention for many years which came 'with me' as I moved to using a Mac. It was of course an obvious thing to do to switch to using Logic as well. I have to say that my first experiences with the then Logic 9 did not go well! I found it confusing and the workflow did not seem errr.. logical in comparison to they way that I had learned from my other DAWs. Important note to make there. Some are similar in workflow and others are very different. [i]You'll find things in places that you might not think are where they should be or are easy to remember! Don't let that put you off, because it probably will! [/i]This is also one reason I hear from most people for choosing one DAW over another. So, I moved up to Logic Pro X and found I had a similar problem as I still hadn't really had time to learn 9 thoroughly. This is my recommendation to make life easy! Everything changed when I started using the Logic Remote app on my iPad (if you have one of course!!!) - I couldn't remember where to find certain commands on screen, but discovered you can essentially make your own board of regularly used commands and have them as separate buttons on the iPad screed to remote control LPX. For example, if I am tracking an instrument I might have the obvious Record,Play,Stop buttons but even having a save, undo and the ability to jump back to where I started, or jump between takes at the touch of a button makes my life easier and I can create faster. I hope that's a bit of help and just my experience alone switching from 'old' Cubase to 'new' Logic. I'm afraid I can't comment on the functionality of versions of Cubase that were already out when I switched to a different DAW. Dan

Brian May, Thomas Lang, Paul Gilbert Erik Satie and god 'imself. John Deacon that is.

Quite like the idea of putting one of those single coil size pups right up next to the neck and the split in the usual position. Bet that would sound fat!

Cool, even ha ha!

I'll have a good read of this thread later as my current level of GAS is requiring me to get a bass (or neck alone) with a massive baseball bat profile. The massive U profile and tele headstock I think could be coo!

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1465832697' post='3071391'] Now there's service for you....the personal touch.. [/quote] Just brilliant, A++++!

Likewise, I am too far away, but I would love to have some suggestions and examples of the playing styles to listen to! If you have any music released Baan, it'd be great to hear it!

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1465825576' post='3071304'] ... a year of that is the waiting list unfortunately. Wal only turn out a couple of finished instruments a month. One builder and one helper when I paid a visit last year, it's a very small operation. [/quote] Yup, It's also much easier to knock out template clones too, so you can expect those faster - but if the instrument is completely bespoke, right down to the neck profile in millimetres, then I think it's fair to have to wait a bit longer. This is especially the case when it is one master-quality luthier with 30 instruments on the waiting list. But oh boy is the wait worth it if you go down the completely custom route. Jon Shuker of www.shukerguitars.co.uk is one such luthier with an eye for detail that is the envy of others!
