I have been close to the QC thing a couple of times. But realised that for what I do it would be MAHOOOOSIVE overkill. The ToneX is as guitar oriented as everything else is, but there are captures of nice things out there. I will try the Noble once I work out how to do it. This is not saying it is hard, I have just not tried yet.

ToneX? I have one. But have not had time to actually mess with it. I need to sort my life out.

The struggle is real.

That would not hurt

When I were a lad it were pre CBS or nothing. I often wonder where this puts my Jan 5th 66 J.

I did read it and thought £27K? At least put a fresh set on there!

I could do some SERIOUS damage with a flap wheel and an electric drill! I have never really thought about this, but I did have a bass once which had REALLY crisp fretboard edges. I actually really liked it. It felt clean and defined. Obviously, I sold it. If anyone has my red Sei J5, I would like it back.

As an IT professional, you do not dig Facebook?

They sound like small children.

I had not clocked that you had mentioned the audience singing. I was enjoying it and then BVs happened. You were hidden behind Katy so I could not see you on the mic but it had to be you because none of the others were singing. I was just wondering who was going to break it to you that BVs were just not for you

Aint that the truth.

We have all been there.

My problem is that I sometimes play with the world's greatest Rhodes player (this is arguable, but he is awesome). I once watched him selling a bottom of the pile Yamaha home keyboard 30 years ago. He made the Rhodes on it sound like the real thing. It was so unfair to the people he was selling to - there is no way they would EVER manage to get that performance out of it. I am at peace with the noise I make on bass, but every time I fancy a bit of Rhodes improvement, I just think "what is the point - John will always trump me"

I am digging this.

I bought one of those small Yamaha doobries for lush Rhodes noises. Only to realise that if I cannot actually play keys then it is all for naught.

The left hand at the beginning of this is proper lush I am not sure what they are aiming for here. I LOVE a wobbly moving Rhodes more than nearly anyone else on the planet, but this is giving me motion sickness.

Dunno. On screen the proportions were as we love them. But that scroll!

I wish I had understood where the income streams were before my mid 30s. I just did not consider the whole royalties thing. I am not sure why. I wish I had had more confidence to write. I did not because I knew that lyrics and singing were not for me and I had no idea where people found melodies. I have now started and am hugely enjoying doing instrumental stuff.

The proportions are a bit weird but that is due to to the angle of my phone and the TV screen. The bass itself looked bog standard until I looked up.
