  1. No problem Nig. As i said it was just hanging around. Glad you found such a good use for it. Funny enough both my sons are now getting in to playing keyboards. The youngest is getting a lovely workstation for Christmas. The keys light up so will be great for leaning songs. Its not midi or even USB but its going to be ideal for him (and yes, we got him some good headphones as well . The eldest loves Garageband on my iPad2 and has started to create some "music" on his PC with my Roland midi controller, but was wanting something bigger with more keys and sounds built in, so it will be handy to get the Korg back whenever you've finished with it. Definitely no rush though. The Novation looks great, i'd like something like that if i get back in to playing keys and recording. I hope it works out for you. When i was at the gadget show on Friday i almost got my son one of these, until i saw the price. OMG is the term that comes to mind. I was thinking its like Casio VL1 updated but oh no, much more than that. Very nice piece of kit though.

  2. First time ive even noticed this sort of thing on BC. Some fantastic work from everyone, very impressive. I must admit i've not listened to them all, all the way through, some weren't my cup of tea, but one stood out for me, partly because i thought part of it sounded like It Bites, and partly because i just loved the idea and the music in general, so my vote went to Silddx. Oh,and thanks for the mention Nig, although it wasn't needed :-). Glad you are getting on well with it. I was going to PM you about that but i can see its working just fine. HAHA, that will teach me to read the thread first. So, my vote was too late. Sorry about that. Shame it actually let me vote though.
  3. Best P bass I ever owned......twice. Not a great recording, nor playing but this was taken when I had my first Duck Dunn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=AtHBDnsA-TQ
  4. Colin who? :-)
  5. They may be making them but ive not seen (m)any that appeal to me. Cant stand all that "relic'ed" rubbish, i think most of their necks look boring due to no fret markers, and that covers most Sandbergs on here IMO. I realise one of the basses above has non but i love the overall look of it anyway, probably due to the non rosewood fingerboard. Im only saying what i feel. The best looking bass i have ever seen/played is a Blackburst PM5 (that had neck issues so i didnt buy it) so im not slagging off Sandberg as such, just saying i personally dont like the look of a lot of their basses, no matter how good they play or sound. Each to his own,.
  6. Wow, the two best looking Sandberg's on BC belong to the same person. How lucky are you :-)
  7. I was just about to start a thread about this but i see i was beaten to it, by quite a few weeks. Glad its not just my PC. As with the others FF and Chrome are fine. i can live with it, as i dont really use IE but wanted to point it out.
  8. I'm actually wearing one of mine now. I've got three I think, althought it might be two, but plan on getting a white one soon. They are really comfortable.
  9. Yeah, no rproblem. I was just pointing it out in case you haven't advertised anything on here before.
  10. Small donation made, wrong time of the year for much more im afraid.
  11. Yeah, there is that. I play with a pick most of the time so its inevitable. I dont worry about it but the new ones do look much nicer at the moment.
  12. Being a grumpy old git to day ill point out the obvious, but regularly over looked guideline for selling on here. "[font=Arial]. You must state a price for your item. Even if your item is just for trade, you must include your trade valuation of your item as a guide for others seeking to trade. Anything without a price clearly stated will be subject to removal. Also do not invite 'offers'."[/font] It might make things go a bit smoother and keep your for sale thread cleaner when you do start it. Good luck,
  13. Thanks for the suggestion but nothing will drag me away from my DR Black beauties.
  14. Actually its the feel I go for rather than the tone, that's why i keep taking them off. I really dont get flats although i enjoy playing them if that makes sense.
  15. I also do it quite a lot. I have a set of TI flats and Chromes that i put on every now and then when i get a Flat's urge. Saves me a fortune.
  16. Cheers. I'll post back once ive tried it.
  17. With the photo thread it was just a case of closing the first one and opening a part 2 thread. Maybe its time for that.
  18. We had the same issue with the Show us some photos thread. It could be a bug where when a thread gets to a certain size this happens. Just a guess. Maybe those who are in the know can sort it out.
  19. Thats not right IMO. You can click follow this thread if you dont want to post in it but ive never done that and i get to follow all the threads i post in. I think there is a setting in the User area that lets you automatically follow any thread if you post in.
  20. Yeah, i know what you mean. Ive not got the Apple one before for the same reason but now ive seen how it all works, and when it does its great, so im going to go for it. If i get any errors ill just send it back. Ive seen a few posts on line where others have had the same errors and it does seem to be with the cheap alternatives. Ill keep the cheap one as my son can make use of it with his camera but i dont plan on using it with mine. Ive just ordered the Apple one from Amazon for £22, it'll be here tomorrow (im too lazy to walk down to the end of the road and go in to Currys).
  21. I have to agree with Tonyf on this. My cheap one arrived on Monday and whilel it seems ok for copying jpg's from a SD card it's too flakey to be used with my midi keyboard. When it works it works well. No latency in GarageBand ( for example) but after a few mins I get a "not compatible with this iPad" error and things stop working. It then take a lot of plugging and un plugging to get it working again. Just not worth the hassle IMO. We tried this on two iPads with the same result. This has spurred me on to get the Apple version, probably today, so ill report back if there are any differences with the real thing.
  22. [quote name='bertbass' timestamp='1352998377' post='1870342'] I've bought one of these for my lady to go with the camera I've also got her for Christmas. I hope it works but I won't know 'til after Christmas. [url="http://www.mymemory.co.uk/iPad-Accessories/Everyday-Basics/Everyday-Basics-Ipad-Connection-Kit-5-in-1-For-iPad-1%2C-iPad-2-and-the-New-iPad"]http://www.mymemory....nd-the-New-iPad[/url] My memory have some seriously good deals. I'd recommend everyone to get on their mailing list and snap up a few bargains. [/quote] Bloody hell. clicking on this thread has just cost me a £5 lol. MM do have some great bargains. I had to take myself off their mailing list as i kept buying something every time i got a mailshot.
  23. Its a simple song. Add whatever you like to it to get through it but i cant see why its lazy if someone wants to play things straight. If it works what's the problem?
  24. [quote name='StephenFerguson' timestamp='1352904239' post='1869149'] The crowd are also the same people who bought mr blooby and crazy frog. [/quote] Yeah but all was made right when they got their Big Mouth Billy Bass for the lav ;-)
  25. Nothing to be sorry about. Its not a song that everybody likes. I cant stand any of that Jazz stuff, nor any of those big name Bass players 99% of BC seem to love. We all have different tastes. What i find amusing though is the people in function bands not giving a toss that the audience might like it, just that they wont play it because they are above all that.
