I was going to say Gene Simmons: Self. But everything covers it well too.

Looking to get more "modular" with my cabs
Downunderwonder replied to BigJHW's topic in Amps and Cabs
It's in the OP. Less haulage for most gigs. Other benefit can be avoiding startling venue managers by setting up the 212 when it's overkill. -
Is it time to quit the band, or not?
Downunderwonder replied to Storky's topic in General Discussion
If I were you I would keep playing gigs as they arrive, minus freebies, and start another project. When and if that takes off you can leave the semi-pro lot completely or continue to play as available, and snag upright gigs for your main band, as as you feel. -
Heating an otherwise unused space to keep basses comfy seems like a waste of power to me. Controlled heating won't do anything to the moisture in the air except make it relatively less saturated. So long as you were keeping it at 16° and it didn't overheat naturally it would be fine. Still a waste of power. Then what do you do when it bakes in the summer?

Simple. A BF tweetered 12 and a non tweetered one for backup. -
I have never tried it myself but several of these threads have had ''I was giving away a perfectly good XYZ on driveway, it sat there, until I changed sign to Price: £50, then it was stolen in ten minutes".

Nobody DI's the guitar amp. It's on you to not be sending a midchopped or noisy mess.
-
It is wrong on double bass. I've never had a problem on BG but I have a good span. 1 finger per fret avoids a lot of jumping around just to play scale notes.

It was fun stringing Dad along. No prizes for the reveal.

...means you need some welly behind you just for the odd occasion. The old Trace amps were rated to deliver a continuous sine signal. Any of the 200 or 250w amps into 4 ohms of decent cabs will keep up with the drummer which is as loud as you ever need to be. The trend for weddings and the like is extremely contained volume, to point it isn't a heck of a lot of fun. It sounds like your band isn't on that unmerry go round of trying to compress a live band to sound like a CD. You won't go wrong with any '500'W modern amp and a couple of modern 12's. I am not familiar with the Edens though.

It better be, or I have to hand in my reader card.

Yep. That is not tab. I forgot it had the tempo on it. I can play stuff in my head from notation only so well. Generally when sight reading my fingers lock in the key so the accidentals have to be read while the rest are sorta assumed, if you know what I mean. When I leapt into reading I was very reliant on the chords for root note and played something akin to what was on the page well enough to get the job. I was a pretty handy treble clef reader from 30 years prior so I was keeping up with the charts. @RichI promise you could go from needing the note names to not needing the note names in a couple of weeks if the BL stopped doing that. All the information is there already! Here the 1 bar rest and the rhythm had pretty much given the game away by the end of the 2nd bar.

You've lost me there. I am sure we were looking at a short bit of notation.

Surely the cops have liason with the Singapore authorities that deal with PayPal. It makes PayPal money launderers if they are paying out to criminals. You would think there would be a direct portal from all countries' cops to query the bank details of PayPal addresses.
-
I think all bassists ought to be familiar with the line. Readers read. I have never played it and didn't have to play it to know what it is. That's the power of notation in reverse. Seems old Dad must be hearing drums before bass lines.

I don't know if he was a child star that made it bigger than the Beatles, but no.

Clue 1.5 The tempo is slightly faster than Yesterday. Clue 2. Ready for a monumental self asskicking? [Spolier] A itty bitty black kid on lead vocals. [/SPOILER]
-
Clue 1. It's an intro, with jingly rhythm guitar over the top, played with a bounce that isn't notated. Clue 2. Is too much of a giveaway. I will give it so I can hear you kick yourself from here if clue 1 doesn't make it click. I guarantee you know the tune.

Time the ol double post has gotten me in a long time.

1st.

I asked same awhile ago. Crickets. Even if the photo backgrounds turn out to be the same it wouldn't prove anything. SURELY A PAYPAL EMAIL CAN BE FOLLOWED BY AUTHORITIES TO AN ACTUAL BANK ACCOUNT TO AN ACTUAL KNOBHEAD?
-
Funny how it takes a proper human to be a bass player but guitars and drums get played by all sorts of Troglodytes and Neanderthals and singers seem to be mostly lizard people out to amuse themselves before the big takeover.
-
Math Rock for you then. Once you get your head around notation you see that there is a whole lot of information in the forms of note groups and the incidentals to the 'key'. Scanning ahead as you play allows it to be interpreted both by the ear and the brain and finger memory and the sense of time all at once. You think bass is hard to read, try drumming. A drummer told me about being in a local pickup band for a touring bigshot popstar. He played his own fill and she turned around and told him to get his kaka together and play the dots. So he did.

At least he can quickly find out rather than deciphering tab x by x to find it's wrong every way imaginable.
