MacDaddy

We always get a bit cheer when we do it. Maybe it's just that no-one cares about you? 😜

Will there be someone doing setups?

I have neither the inclination or the space to play a DB but I do have 2 EUBs which I'm loving playing. If you are anywhere near one of the Bassbash's keep an eye on the gear lists and pop along try some gear out and see what you get on with 🙂

Retail therapy?

Hank Wangford?

Yup. To avoid identity theft. But also Macdaddy sounds more showbiz than my real name which is Brett Starshine.

"The judge also cited factors including... and the fact he had previously "embraced and financially benefitted from being featured on the album cover"."

The first preset. There are demos of it in the MXR synth pedal thread.

If I can get a sound close to "that" preset on the MXR synth pedal, I'd be happy to use it as a one-sound-pedal.

Ah, but you never know!

Will any of this filter down to v3?

I've played to a completely empty pub, because even the bar staff fecked off!

Remember it's a two-way street, you are auditioning the band. You don't have to join.

This is from my status update: I've programmed some patches that sound great through headphones on my multi FX. I just hope they won't take too much tweaking at band practice tomorrow when going through an amp. And after rehearsal on Wednesday: And the result from last night's rehearsal - inconclusive. I went through an old Ashdown head through an old Ashdown cab. The synthy patches needed more fuzz, nothing cut through quite right, and levels were not consistent between patches. All issues I did not have with headphones (a cheap Behringer pair). Should have taken my own gear. Next time I'll at least take one of my own amps.

Don't tell John Hall, he'll sue her! 😆

I had the bass version, because it also had guitar amp sims. The Marshall sim was particularly good. I thought some of the FX were excellent, the chorus, delay, and the simple but effective compressor.

But they can make an equal.

Best pick up and pay in person?

Yup 😁

@Paul Geary much love being given to your boss! For those who don't know, Paul is Nik's bass player 😎

TLDR: that isn’t equality, it’s noblesse oblige in progressive clothes. Ah, “punching down.” That ghastly little phrase, which sounds less like a moral framework and more like an instruction one might find in an IKEA manual for assembling an oddly-shaped ottoman. The idea, if you’ll allow me to paraphrase it badly, is that comedians should never make jokes at the expense of those with less power or lower status. Very noble. Very high-minded. Very - how do I put this delicately? - patronising in the extreme. We’re being told who counts as “up” and who’s stuck “down.” That isn’t equality, it’s a hierarchy disguised as virtue, and the moment you divide people like that, you’ve abandoned the very principle of treating everyone as equals. And here’s the obvious truth: people are equal regardless of job, money, or social status. A duke and a dustman may move in different worlds, but both are flawed, both ridiculous, both capable of laughter. To declare one “fair game” and the other “off limits” is to recreate the very divisions equality claims to abolish. Shielding people from humour doesn’t honour them; it quietly marks them out as lesser, as fragile, needing special treatment. I’ve met, in my time, any number of the allegedly powerless, and I’ll tell you what: many are sharper, wittier, and far more capable of puncturing pomposity than the self-appointed guardians of their honour. To exclude them from the rough-and-tumble of humour is to infantilise them. Shielding some groups from jokes doesn’t respect them, it sidelines them. It’s not kindness; it’s exclusion in a sanctimonious mask .

I think it would depend if you have ever whacked for your daddy, oh?
