  1. I would never know what the one on the right sounded like - as I wouldn’t even touch it wearing welding gauntlets and a full face helmet..... but the one on the left, as I say , is a beauty !
  2. Are you agreeing that the one on the right is plum ugly.... or are you agreeing that someone will be along soon with another opinion ? 😀
  3. Get rid of the one on the right - it’s plum ugly - I wouldn’t even give it house room..... the one on the left however, is a beauty. Someone else will be along very soon with another opinion.
  4. The fingering and learning scales will be the least of his problems.... the mouth shape and getting any sort of sound that does not resemble strangling a cat, will be the first priority...... I couldn’t get a consistent tone when I tried to learn many years ago, so I bought a Yamaha wind synthesiser with the excellent VL-70m tone module.... of course, a tenor saxophone looks way cooler than a WX-5 wind synthesiser, but that cool look might go straight out the window once you blow it !! Best of luck with it though.
  5. There was a good thread about this series a while ago..

    BOSS GT1-B

    I use to own a GT-1B..... my understanding is that it’s designed to operate with the batteries in place all the time, and then when you insert a Jack-plug into one of the sockets (input or output, I can’t remember which) then the power is switched on. The same probably applies when you plug in the USB....but I think the batteries have to be in situ.... I don’t think that a USB connection would provide enough juice, on its own, to power that pedal anyway.
  7. I have been a Level 42 fan for 30 years. I think you are great and with some stage clothes and a light show this would be absolutely top notch entertainment.
  8. I ordered it last October - I hope to hear from him in a few months , at which point I will decide on the exact spec., although I think I will just go for the plain black as shown on the website. i will certainly post on here, as things develop, with a view to meeting and comparing !
  9. Thanks for your reply. I ordered one from Rob about 3 months ago. Like you, I am not that keen on the headstock, but Rob said I could have a slightly different design if I want it. I think it will grow on me, so I might take it as it is.
  10. Can I ask why you chose the Industrial Radio MIDI bass ? Did you also consider the MIDI bass made in Ireland by ROR Guitars - it looks good as well. http://www.rorguitars.com
  11. My opinion on compressors is the same as my opinion on a*sholes .... They are both useful for getting rid of excess volume.
  12. This thread is incomplete without the full, unexpurgated details of the “less than friendly” parting of the ways with the drummer. ‘What exactly happened ?
  13. Glencoe played at Friars in Aylesbury around 1972/1973 and at the same time Ian Dury’s band (Kilburn and the High Roads) used to play Friars.....maybe that’s where NWR met Ian Dury ?
  14. Thanks very much - I see what you mean about the 2 pages per Bank - I hadn’t really appreciated that, so I will experiment !
  15. Thanks - but I didn’t want to use 2 of the existing switches on the box to do that.... so I have experimented with a “momentary” switch plugged in to one of the EXP sockets on the back of the MC6, and that scrolls the banks up and down. You have to configure the MC6 by holding down button D whilst powering it up, and then you can change the function of those EXP inputs to “Fixed SW1” See full details here: https://morningstarengineering.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MC6MKII/pages/524689/v3.4#Change-Expression-Input---ExpInpt The switch I used was the one that I have been using for my BeatBuddy...
  16. Attention MC6 experts !!......Are there any better ways to change the banks on the MC6 other than the simultaneous press on buttons A & B, and B & C ? Thanks.

    I sold my Boss tuner pedal to Dave - the transaction was as smooth as silk - thanks Dave !
  18. I have noticed that a few people are using the MC6 with their Stomp, so I thought that a thread to discuss this combination would be a good idea.. i have an MC6 on order so I will be keen to hear the experiences of existing users. Thanks for all contributions
  19. I have had this unit just over a year and it has had had very little use, as I upgraded to a HX Stomp about 6 months ago, and that is why I am selling this item. It is in excellent condition and comes with all original packaging and the user manual. It can run off 4 AA batteries (included) or alternatively you can use a PSU (not included) I am sure you will know this unit, but just to say that there are loads of effects which you can tweak on the unit itself, or you can connect it to your PC and tweak them via software. £80 including postage to a UK address.
  20. I fitted this for a very short time on a short-scale bass I bought, but I quickly realised that I didn’t like short scale, so I put the original bridge back on and sold the bass. It comes in the original box with the screws. £20 including postage to UK address.
  21. Beat Buddy Mini - £50 including postage to UK address. I stopped using this a while ago as I upgraded to the full Beat Buddy. i am selling it for a very good price because the right-hand knob (which is PUSH for Genre, Song & Tempo......and ROTARY for adjusting those items) is a bit wobbly. It does not appear to affect the operation of the Beat Buddy at all - and in fact I have found that if you tighten the hex-nut at the bottom of the rotary stalk, then it does not work so well, and the switch needs a much more solid press to work consistently. So that is full disclosure, but at this price you are getting a very good box that plays a lot of cool rhythms. More than 100 songs in over 20 different genres. https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/singular-sound-beatbuddy-mini
