That sounds along the same lines as proliferation therapy that I read about when mine was at its worst. I never had that though, nor Cortisone, just used arm supports and time. Mine was caused by starting drumming, then made worse by playing squash. The elbow is ok now, just wish the drumming and squash had improved at the same rate

Ebay- I just got a Boss PS-5 for £60 using Make An Offer. Seemed a reasonable price to me. Janek Gwizdala's fault!

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1486936932' post='3235773'] I'm just about to change a set of TIs that are about 4 years old. [/quote] Why? Have they gone off somehow? Or is it more of a precaution against fatigue breakage or something?

In the meantime (while you wait for an appointment) you could try an adjustable neoprene forearm tube. Tightening on the muscle below the elbow can relieve some of the pull on the ligaments. You could also try turning your amp right up and play a lot softer with the right hand, maybe wearing the bass a bit lower and playing with a straighter arm could help too.

I'm curious, what is the perceived deterioration in flats? I've had a set of Status flats on for about a year and not noticed and difference in sound or feel. Unless the frets wear the winding out, I can't see how the strings would change. Enlighten me please, this is my first experience of flats.

[quote name='el borracho' timestamp='1486759850' post='3234463'] Vocals - I know the technique of how to sing but my voice just doesn't sound nice - was told once it was the shape of my head! [/quote] Sounds like someone was trying to be nice to you.....

I've heard weed is good for that, but it's not my thing at all.

I saw a Janek Gwizdala vlog the other day where he had just bought one and he described it as slim iirc.

I suppose the practical use is genre dependant. Not many would use it for mellow jazz frinstance.

Do you know which number that was? There are a lot to trawl through! Cheers.

There are some bits in this gig recording where the ZT is on its own, though he is using a Turbo Rat with a fairly spitty sound in front of it. At about 20 minutes the tune coffee is only the ZT, and some of the intros are on it's own. The more jangly clean sounds are the other tele through the Sessionette, the ZT is slightly on the right of the mix (recorded on a Zoom handheld H2) [url="https://www.dropbox.com/s/xnv3x4a26htqi0p/AntonBarbeau-KK-03feb2017.mp3?dl=0"][color="#0000ff"]https://www.dropbox.com/s/xnv3x4a26htqi0p/AntonBarbeau-KK-03feb2017.mp3?dl=0[/color][/url]

Thanks chaps. I confess I had never heard of a bitcrusher before this either. Starting to feel a bit out of touch!

It's nice enough music of it's type, but what does a second drummer add to it?

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1486673270' post='3233789'] Octave up [/quote] Is it really? I could have sworn it was doing something to the waveform and envelope too. In which case, which pedal is it?

I was watching this Janek Gwizdala clip. https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=LL97bkWQVt8 Can someone tell the pedal he uses at about 14.00 in to get what he calls baby elephant sound? Sounds like a synth sax sound, but the bass isn't synth equipped. Cheers

Hey, you could print a curved tube port for a small cab where a normal tube port wouldn't fit. Grooveh! 2 ideas in one evening? I'd better go to bed now before my foot falls off!

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1486548855' post='3232603'] If somebody could use a 3D printer to make some flared port ends cheaply, that would make me very happy. It seems like an ideal job for a 3D printer. [/quote] Well, that's my good idea for the year, and it's only February

Gotta love autocorrect!

Yes, a linisher is good. Use something to protect the fingers though, it's surprising how quickly a hex key will heat up!

[quote name='whizzzy' timestamp='1486555856' post='3232693'] Well if you can't hear anything, even through headphones then it sounds like a problem in the power output stage or power supply section and will warrant a more thorough diagnosis. Have you checked all of the fuses? [/quote] Wouldn't the headphone feed be tapped off before the power stage though?

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1486540707' post='3232523'] The gig thread just seems to be 'we had a gig last night, we were wonderful' [/quote] Oh, you've seen us then!

I'd definitely try to nail as much of the material that you can get hold of, so if the call comes, you will be up to speed in almost no time. Knowing they've got someone in that is right on it will reinforce their decision to get rid. If they feel they've done the right thing, it makes your position even stronger. If the call never comes, you'll have had fun learning some new lines, it all adds to your "vocabulary". Get learning now! (if you haven't already started )
