My station is temp adjustable, as i found that some jobs need higher or lower temps.  I've had this bad boy WEP 937D for years and still works a treat.  There's about  6  tips that come with it.

Also,  the most useful  sundry tool  i've found for soldering, apart from the crocodile clip holders, is a headset with LED's and a choice of snap in magnifiers.  I've had this marksman headset for may years too, and it also works flawlessly.  Not even changed the batteries since i bought it

 

 

Whilst very rarely used, I do have a (cheap) variable temp soldering iron. I do not, however, know how to decide on what temp to use. I usually turn it up enough to make the solder melt as quickly as possible.  

I actually now mostly use an IRODA SolderPro 120K portable

That popped up on my You Tube feed yesterday as I follow Divinity Roxx. The thing that does my head in is watching her as a lefty. Surely someone could have flipped that for her.

Other than that, I quite like it. What would be wrong is going to all that effort to get something that sounded close to the original. IMHO of course 🙃.

Is she now a lefty or is the screen mirrored? She was not a lefty before. I used to follow her but stopped some time ago so no up to speed. She was defo a righty at the LBGS show a few years go.

Mark, welcome. I am sure someone will come along from here with tutor suggestions, but you should also look at firsttutors.com and also musicteachersdirectory.org. 

I am not sure about that, although my bass playing can sometimes be described as robotic. 😀 Does that count?

Welcome Foureyes. If you stay here long enough it is possible you will be  changing your name to Fiveeyes / Sixeyes or even Fretleyes.

This is how it's done. It's the tightest little beat combo I've heard in years.

 

I have been following this band for a while now. Really tight.

It looks like a fairly drastic solution to stop neck dive to me.

I’ve tried jamkazam and jamulus.

Jamkazam has more features like being able to play a backing track etc., however I’d probably go with jamulus in the first instance as it’s simpler, easier to setup and is open source/free. Jamkazam have just started charging for all but a limited service.

 

I have never used either, but a singer friend of mine and her band rehearse  remotely and she swears by Jamulus

Thread can now be closed!

I have to make do with the sense of satisfaction I get hearing bands I once auditioned for on the radio  

Almost the same here; in my case it is hearing bands on the radio playing songs I can play along to at home! 

Congrats! I have the USB version - a true upgrade from my gen 3 Scarlett. As you say a great piece of kit with plenty of headroom too in the gain. Love the control software too. The separate phantom power per channel was also important to me.

I have the HP and am also very happy with it. Sadly timing wise means I have yet to use it outside of my study! It goes quite loud though.

Anyone know if Barefaced ever do Black Friday sales? Or any sales ever?

Alex has responded to this on an American forum. They are not doing a Black Friday sale this year as they only realised how thin their margins are after the one last year apparently

How do you adjust the tempo with a mouse though

 

 

Drag up or down.

I like this, very nicely done. 👏

One of these?

 

Thank you!

"I could watch you play a bass all day". Ah! Sorry wrong type of bass.

Hayley Reinhart and Morgan James.

Me on stage being watched by Ron Carter, Robert Trujillo and Anthony Jackson. They each paid for their own tickets!

Not sure I can help with the sound issue, but I would love to see the stool used to play the tall keys in the far right corner of the first pic. 

I like this and boy does it make my fingers feel slow at times!

If you can get to play one before buying I would strongly suggest that. I had a USA Stingray HH V and it was one of the quickest "move on"s I have done to date. I never could get a tone that suited me out of it but also the G string was so close to the edge of the fret board it was very tough to play without it rolling off the edge (perhaps poor technique on my part too). I cannot remember what age it was, however.

For build quality but perhaps a little reserved in tone; my now sold Glockenklang Blue Rock was unbelievably good. For a more lively sound that more suits where I am now, my current Bergantino Forte HP.
