After using my Zoom b1 four this evening it seems to have just died with nothing on the screen bit at all anyway i managed to do a reset but this has done nothing. I was using a USB cable into pc for power at the time, so decided to use my P9 volt power adapter and i was brief getting power which is when i did the reset ,but again nothing . Any ideas ?

"There's a light that never goes out ",I detested that song back in the day, I always thought "what a miserable Barrstarrd " it's funny now I love it, or maybe it's because I've turned into a miserable Barrstarrd my self.

Thank you for that ET,i really enjoyed reading that, I remember the record (Tell me When )vividly although I was only 4 yo at the time, I had three sisters the two older ones were in their mid teens, and I remember them dancing around the front parlour with their boyfriends to this and others (Beatles) great memories..

Oldish post, but I have a quick question for you. So when you play through your headphones you use the input jack on the zoom, I get that, but how do you get to here the tunes from Spotify through your headphones at the same time.

Rock n roll don't mind.

Hers another one ,outstanding...

When i think back off all the live acts i have seen over the years ,i still can recall the absolute musicianship of these guys, who i saw at Bridlington Spa Hall back in 1980. I was right at the front, and i recall my eyes being fixated at Norman Watt Roy's bass guitar, they were so tight as a band its unbelievable, with the occasional glance over to the inimitable Chaz Jankel's guitar playing. From that day on i was hooked on the Bass Guitar,? Anyone else felt the same way with perhaps another band /bass player, or was it just me.

Ableton lite, which comes free with any Focurite interface, simple and easy to use, I run it on a Windows 10 pro 64 bit ,Intel i 5 processor,16 gb ram.

Just fitted these on the Yam bb424,they are a different animal to what I'm used to(Chromes Flat wound 50 to 105s) but I'm going to persevere simply because I want to learn to Slapa da Bass properly. Thanks for the replies ,very informative you guys.

I was watching this video earlier and this guy is recommending D'Addario EXL 170s.I quite like the sound he's getting in the video, but before I go out and buy a set ?Has anyone used them.

Thanks Dad good info.

When I first picked up a Bass back in 83 I promised my self that I would learn Stevie Wonder's Sir Duke, well after a 35 years abstinence ,I was still promising myself I would learn Sir Duke, and so after 3 or 4 years I still haven't managed to learn Sir Duke.? any tips anyone.

Had a mate Called Paco, he use to swear by that Eau de Toilet spray he used to use. I could never understand why someone would want to smell like a toilet but there go ,horses for courses.

Moderator? Can we rename this thread. .thus ..See how many famous acts that came from Birmingham can we name ...I'll start you off ..Black Sabbath.

Heavy metal (or simply metal) is a genre of rock music[3][4] that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and the United States.[5] With roots in blues rock, psychedelic rock, and acid rock,[6] heavy metal bands developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and loudness. The lyrics and performances are sometimes associated with aggression and machismo.[6] In 1968, three of the genre's most famous pioneers, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple, were founded.[7] Though they came to attract wide audiences, they were often derided by critics. Several American bands modified heavy metal into more accessible forms during the 1970s: the raw, sleazy sound and shock rock of Alice Cooper and Kiss; the blues-rooted rock of Aerosmith; and the flashy guitar leads and wild party rock of Van Halen.[8] During the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence,[9][10] while Motörhead introduced a punk rock sensibility and an increasing emphasis on speed. Beginning in the late 1970s, bands in the new wave of British heavy metal such as Iron Maiden and Saxon followed in a similar vein. By the end of the decade, heavy metal fans became known as "metalheads" or "headbangers". During the 1980s, glam metal became popular with groups such as Bon Jovi and Mötley Crüe. Underground scenes produced an array of more aggressive styles: thrash metal broke into the mainstream with bands such as Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax, while other extreme subgenres such as death metal and black metal remain subcultural phenomena. Since the mid-1990s, popular styles have expanded the definition of the genre. These include groove metal and nu metal, the latter of which often incorporates elements of grunge and hip hop. Sorry for the cut and paste, this should clear things up a tad. and this

It seems to me that posters are comparing todays definitions of what was made up as Heavy Metal back in the early seventies to todays so called Heavy Metal. I don't know your ages ,but i can vouch for Deep Purple definitely being described as an Heavy Metal band back then. The term "Heavy Metal" was coined in the West Midlands due mainly to bands like Black Sabbath, and Judas Priest., so Toni Iommi, Rob Halford of Judas Priest modelled their playing styles on the industrial factories who were churning out Metal castings and pressings that were exported all over the industrialised world, Hence the term Heavy Metal being coined Their inspiration came from this fact.
