Oh! -
These strings are an octave up from the notes we know and love on a DB/Bass guitar so it is bass fingering but not bottom bass frequencies. I cannot imagine a proper string company would put out strings that would be of the wrong tesnion so I would guess it is ok.

Bassline, shbassline. THE MOVES! THE MOVES!!!!! -
I see what that bassist is doing at 1:15 and I am having it!

I could happily go to an app that can transpose chord charts on the fly, but some of our people use the dots so that is a non starter.

I had a purple one like that. I traded it for a set of EMG jazz pickups. I am an idiot.

Nope. Over 350GB of a 640GB HD is empty. Maybe it is just old? I can certainly empathise with it.

I upped it to the (in theory) max of 8 gig.

Anything is if you have the right ingredients. They could all properly play.

Gutting for you.

Logic is the most intensive thing. It does spend some time telling me that it cannot sync stuff when it gets tired. And the spinning wheel of sadness.

For me they are different. Despite playing DB, which is obviously fretless, I just cannot get with fretless. And I have have owned at least 4.

My 2009 iMac is creaking a bit. My son is now running an external SSD on his 6 year old macbook (usb3) and running 40 audio track sessions straight off the external drive. Sadly, my iMac only has usb 2 so I am not sure if the data transfer will be fast enough. I would be quite happy to just buy an external SSD and run it off that. Does anyone have any thoughts? I could open it and dump an SSD in there but am minded to go for an i7 2.3Ghz 2012 mac mini with 16 Gig of RAM, SSD and buy a 32" screen. Any thoughts? TIA

From what I understand Marko builds what he likes when he likes and does not do it as a commercial enterprise. -
Here it comes!

Ugh. Where do I get that headphone doobrie? No. Really!
-
I play drums sometimes too. I do have a selection of totally innapropriate fills
-
You make me sound fickle! I am, yes. It ticks my boxes.

In a good way.

Ugh!

Fair play, that Solwayer looks really nice. I would also throw www.facebook.com/jazzboxukes into the mix as well. He made me a uke DB and one day I might go back for an archtop Jazz Guitar uke bass.

I went through a phase when I believed that you could never have too many adapters. Those days are gone. 12 with Neutriks at both ends - Balanced Jack to male XLR - think about them more as adapters than full length leads - they vary from 50cm to about 2m 6 patch leads made by OBBM which are angled Neutrik female XLR to angled Amphenol mono jacks. These were made to patch from my mixer to my headphone amp. I then flogged the whole thing cos I was not using it. 3 balanced jack to female XLR (all Neutrik) 1 mono jack to female XLR (all Neutrik) 1 mono jack (common or garden) to female XLR (Neutrik) Pricing is the cost of the plugs and I will chuck the cable and the fact that they are all soldered up nicely in. Lots of people can solder like a boss. Lots of us burn ourselves and this sale is for you my sisters and brothers. So add up the cost of plugs at both ends and add £2 per lead (less if you buy loads) for postage. Neutrik XLR Female £2.60 Neutrik XLR Male £2 Neutrik Balanced Jack £4 Neutrik Angled Female XLR £6.50 Angle Amphenol Mono Jack (which are lovely things) £2.80

It was exciting while it lasted -
Ain't that the truth! I have (too) many basses and which ones the Induction Loop chooses to attack is utterly random - single coils, humbuckers, Piezo - it just does not care.

You are going in to a situation where maybe everyone is not an experienced player. That is ok, but your job might, on occasion, be about holding things together rather that laying down the funkiest grooves. And that is OK as well because the music is there to support not to shine. Not all keyboard players understand slash chords so C/E might well be read as a C chord and your playing the E could sound pretty muddy. The comment about pianists and looking after the bass end is completely valid - and sometimes it is just too much agro to educate them so you will need to pare your parts right back to not get in the way. There are all sorts of valid arguments about educating them, but in the heat of the moment they might forget and then it is your job to make the band sound good. You are there to enable the congregation, and that is cool. I could go on about this stuff all day!
