RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Did you get the Toro in the end?

Great stuff ! Pics of course when your Argon arrives. ( or thereabouts 🙂) I wonder if inmusic may takeover Modal 🤔. They have a lot of name brands under their umbrella. That's another story , so I'll leave it there .

Orchestral man hoovers in the park , numan league , manures live aid , Matt goss's hairpiece

No big deal really . You're still doing music at home . I'm happy experimenting with synths ,and pickup a bass once in a while , while trying to improve my recording techniques on GarageBand . Enjoy your new direction

Any news on the refund ?

Sorry to hear this Ray . A lot of stuff is slow moving ,due to cost of living crisis etc . I have sold a few basses and things on Basschat ,with no issues at all . Selling things like vinyl records though, I found fleabay the best . I don't do farcebook, or bumtree, and haven't really heard any positives about selling stuff on those platforms . Others may not concour , but it's just my experiences. I had 2 basses for sale last year on Basschat . When I decided to hold onto them , I then got a couple of enquiries . The only thing I'd be wary of on Basschat , is if there is an enquiry from someone that's had hardly any posts . That' could be me very extra careful though . Best of luck,on your journey also .

Good job I don't do Facebook . I wonder what the link contains 🤔

Yes , windows are a pane

Tears for queers, Frankie says relapse ,bananadrama, Frankie goes to Cricklewood

Sorry to hear this .

Mmm.. 2 weeks . On the plus side at least they made a decision , without dragging it out . They had to inspect it after being returned etc. . Hopefully not too long to wait .

Not much different from their earlier budget effects units imho . The looper is a nice touch . The synth sounds like fighting cats 🐈🐈‍⬛ . ,which is fairly common in budget effects units. Not for me but after seeing the vids , I may get out my toneport ux1 with the line 6 monkey🐒. Cost of living crisis etc.so cash saved ..for now . What would imho be a wimner for line6, is if they could sell an effects box with all the settings from the Variax Bass .

Someone will probably explain it better ; DI ( Direct input ) is where you have a cable going from your amp ( if it has a DI socket) into an audio mixer. Some multi effects units have a DI socket , which means that in theory you could plug the cable from your multi effects unit into the audio mixer directly without bringing your amp to gigs / rehearsals . Also, if you did use the multi effects unit , there is a button on the unit giving you the option of ' straight bass ' without effects if you prefer. DAW , is digital audio workstation . This is a device where you plug your instrument into it which allows you to record onto your computer

I assume you'll get the refund at some stage . Fingers crossed for you , that you haven't too long to wait . life and the cost of living crisis , does have a tendency to affect and annoy us at the wrong times unfortunately . Having said that , it's a temporary blip for now and you'll carry on your synth journey before you know it . Keep us updated .

Was this recorded on a farm ? 🐄🙂

Just wondering ; which is better out of the Minitaur ,and the Toro ? Is there much in it ? 🤔 I'd guess that the Toro would be better in a band situation . I have the Minitaur, and don't really think I need another Moog type bass synth . The Toro does look good though . I decided not to purchase the Moog Marianne app , as I think too much Moog bass is a bit overkill .

I purchased that Hank Mizell single back in the '70s Along with spinning rocjk boogie by Hank C Burnett . ( Bernett?) I don't know the story of those . I thought they were just retro singles , or whatever the term would be . 🙂

Wow! I thought that Nad would be a little more upmarket for curry's . That's a surprise .

I used to go to Alaska studios a lot , back in the '90s . Used to like it there . The pub next door was handy . We used to take trays of drinks into the rehearsals .🙂
