So shiny!

These are great strings. I have 2 spare packets otherwise I would buy them. -
My new (to me) Overwater 6 string weighs 11.8lbs. I would never dream of playing it standing up. I could not even if I wanted to because the extra string is using so much of my congnitive RAM that I would forget how to balance. It makes a great noise though.

The SSL2+ works as a MIDI interface. The MOTU 8 pre might as well. I think I had a duff MIDI lead.

That is a fair question and TBH I am not sure. We all get attached to specific pieces of kit and believe that they help us achieve our "tone" (whatever that is). I was kind of expecting a more significant difference than the one I got. I will not be discussing what they were because there are so many variables in the equation that what is just "this is how it sounds when Owen plays through them with a badly set up bass and dead strings" easily becomes "that preamp is rubbish because I heard it next to some other ones". I guess that a well buffered input with enough headroom is all I need in a preamp. It kind of makes a mockery of my exhaustive efforts at trying every preamp that has ever been built.

If you have two cabs pretty soon you will be running the PA system. Unless you REALLY love it and get paid for it this is a VERY bad thing.
-
You cannot buy new ears. Buy proper plugs. Cos if you do not and are in noisy environments, one day you will not be able to play and then you would pay anything to be able to play.

Fair enough.

West Side Story is always fun and the examiner will clock it as being dangerous music which will therefore be impressive. Which is always good in an exam.
-
Added to all this, selling the 12"s 2nd hand and buying new 10" is actually going to cost you for poorer perfomance.

I used to bi-amp and enjoyed prodigious LF. At a guess I was a problem in the room, but I had a lovely time. I tried a QSC KW112 recently and it was lush. I then put a KW118 sub into the mix. I have to admit I did not get the extreme LF hit I was hoping for. There was more wool but not the joy I was dreaming of.
-
Anecdotaly I can report that no 10" cab I have tried can actually cut it when a drummer is involved. Some 12" cabs can but that also depends on the amp's ability to deliver proper power. It is also VERY rare (again, in my experience) for a 10" cab to be able to reach all the way down there on a 5 string even when not fighting with a drummer. YMMV

Last update for the 8Pre-FW is 2008. "The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information.". It works fine as an audio interface with Catalina and I am only borrowing it while I wait for the SSL 2 to actually be available. This should be within the week so it is not big deal. The SSL 2+ will be not very much more than a SSL 2 and a Roland UM-One but the 2+ has MIDI ports so I will prob go for one of those. It is beyond comprehension that they will not have proper Catalina drivers.

Bit harsh on Reggaebass! -
Cheaper than paying milage and overnights for a group of musicians. And you are not herding cats because everyone is in the same place.

Very smooth
-
The FI firmawre? Nope, not yet - that was my first project.
-
You can take the MOTU Pre 8 Firewire off the list of known working MIDI interfaces. It does not work
-
If it is good enough for Zslot then it is good enough for me. I did look at the Roland page and only found up to 10.11. My wife recognises this behaviour. Thanks Owen
-
Or I am looking at an all in one SSL2+. Again, any experience?
-
I need a new Midi interface to mess with this. M Audio decided to not update drivers for my old one. How I laughed. Is the Roland UM One still the one of choice? Does it work on Mac OS 10.15.3 Catalina? The drivers seem to have stopped at 10.11 Anyone with any 1st hand experience? TIA.

EU artists will need a VISA to perform in UK from 2021
Owen replied to kyuuga's topic in General Discussion
I would love to think that a well supported public petition would get Parliment to reconsider/change/whatever. Each and every one of the petitions I have signed that have crossed the threshold of "having to be considered" (and there have been many) have achieved the sum total of nothing. I am utterly voicless in matters relating to musician's visas and everything else. If the print media in the UK are not interested in musician's visas (or any other topic) then there is just no point in even discussing it. I am working hard to stay on topic here. -
I have had a Bravewood. It was a P and scratched all the same itches as my original 66 J. It taught me that I do not like a P nut width otherwise I would still have it. If only he did a reliced J5......... I am aware that that is all kinds of wrong, but I want one anyway.
