Nope. It has gone back.

It turns out that tap tempo for the arpeggiator IS available from a control pedal input. Sorry for the misinformation.

But the US is our special friend, no?

They will have gone in the great message cull when we went to new software. I only realised the loss when I went to look at them to work out purchases for that year when I was doing my taxes. I sometimes wonder where my Sei J 5 went as well. It had a very lovely neck.

I am looking at whether it is possible to achieve Welsh independance before Dec 31st. That will be a no, but the concept has recently become a LOT more attractive. Sorry, is that political or cultural?

And it will be ok because larger bands just appear from nowhere. No one ever needs to learn their craft on smaller stages. The present cabinet are living proof of that. Sorry, was that political or satirical?

You do realise where you are, right?!!?????!!!

As I said - sux. All of it. I would not trust the present government to organise filling a bath let alone what they aspire to. Even IDS is wary of them. You know it is bad when IDS is saying "people, hang on a bit".

Sux. We are in a slow motion car crash being driven by a government who are only out for themselves and their mates. We have an impotent opposition and a media which is rubbing it's hands with glee cos they are getting their way. There, I got political.

I can very much see the attraction. The price point is going to be interesting.

Builders! Every builder I have ever paid has spent time telling me how poor every other builder is. What are they like?

I am about to get my hands on a vintage AKG C12A microphone. It might be fine but it might need looking at. Does anyone know who would be the go-to people in the field?

I would pay more to see a good band in a small venue than a big venue. SP have worked their backsides off to get where they are - the market is there so why would they not? It cannot be a cheap ensemble to tour If I was in London I would go.

I shall dig out a better bass and do it again. I will also balance the pickup on this one. And then I will find a pair of Smith - alike humbuckers and plumb them in. Obviously, what I mean there is get someone else to plumb them in.

Yep, this excercise is telling me all sorts of things about that particular bass.

Here it is again. This time I have normalised everything to try and get levels more equal - there is a little clipping but I am not going for broadcast quality! The bass itself is not sounding awesome. It is a candidate for new pickups but that is a story for another day.

I am editing it now and doing the 4th without the LF bump. I am ashamed.

You and me both.

I am not going to say which is which becaue we all listen with our eyes and we all percieve things differently anyway. It was purely for the excercise of "wow the difference is not how our eyes percieve it to be". I freely admit to not hearing the detail that others have alluded to. I will confess that there was a slight LF bump in the EQ of number 4 which I only noticed as I carried on recording what I set out to do originally a couple of hours after posting. Sorry about that - what an amateur.
