  1. My memory is hazy but if correct I got it under control with patience and then after the update they disappeared only to reappear in bulk a few days back, not taking long to catch me out again.
  2. Being no set definition of small to medium or loud the only way to find out is by actual test in your band. In a earplugs required heavy hitting drummer pub rock band I find my 200w tube amp is only just loud enough in medium small venues and that's with an extremely sensitive 215 JBL cab that makes the most of 200w.
  3. Double posts seemed to be gone but now they're back with a vengeance.
  4. One original tune we did was in 7/4. The drummer played it in 5/4+2/4. That worked ok. Another drummer played it Reggae with a beat missing. That worked even better. No guitarist was involved.
  5. One of the ways 'spark' is achieved is with dynamics. Unfortunately function venues are becoming dynamic free zones thanks to noise level limitations.
  6. <it's> is the shortened form of <it is> !! The other more English English version is <'tis>. The word its frequently gets changed by phone 'auto incorrect' into it's. It's a crime against the English language. Sometimes I miss it and have to go back and edit lest I get a punctuation police warning from Dad.
  7. That's messy but a long way from out of hand. Out of hand is a pedal board that is too heavy for a comfortable one hand carry. Don't ask me how I know.
  8. Afaik density isn't an acoustic quality, more commonly a by product of 'rigidity' aka stiffness. Then you get the foam stuff. I don't know how stiff it is but obviously stiff enough not to affect the tone in a small cab.
  9. What about sticking a raised dot on the knob at 12 o'clock when it is in the detent? Then you should also have a very good feel of where it is relative to centre.
  10. You could sand it back and Duratex it. I wouldn't expect another 13 years' gigging carbon fibre if you are scuffing up the old one.
  11. I guess if you didn't know Mamma Mia = ABBA you would have had to read the rest of the posts all the way to the end to find the first ABBA.
  12. Try ABBA. If that doesn't bring it up try ABBA news. Google surely isn't so messed up these days that it won't find what everyone is talking about?
  13. One of the show directors was interviewed. She expects everyone to be emotionally blown away by the presentation. She said if people come way having seen a good show then she has failed.
  14. If the criterion is gigbag friendly then it has to be the Elf. It's not much bigger than a Sansamp BDDI and soundpeople like its DI. You would probably need to add a speakon to 1/4" adapter.
  15. And yet you succeeded all the same. When it's played along with the pattern as grouped in the traditional way it doesn't require extra memory. It's much easier to remember differences from standard patterns than entire patterns. Even though the result is the same if you succeed.
  16. Ignore that advice. I'd love a nice Roadstar and I'd play anything on it.
  17. Precedent set! When she turns 21 you might give her the Thunderbird and it would really mean something.
  18. I thought the whole point of flats on a fretted bass was to save you the 'breaking in/crudding up' period for rounds?
  19. You must know more about that than me. The switch would need to go back and forth as pedals get switched on and off. Inverting an inversion puts you right side up again.
  20. Monster basses these. Active EQ or turn off and it's passive. Handy for an extra kick without resorting to pedals. Low action easily achieved with the stable neck. And so purty!!!
  21. Clean blending only works easily when the effected signal comes back more or less in phase with the clean. That is by no means even likely when distortion and chorus among others routinely come back 180° out. Even working well it's hell murky compared to separate passbands. Back in the day I had a very complicated fx rig that sent a high pass from crossover to the fx while the low pass carried on clean. Then there was a multi channel phase switching blender to take the two and reassemble. Depending on how many phase flipping pedals were on I had to switch which of the blender channels were employed. All this to avoid a dropout in the crossover range which was around 120hz, kinda important!! This was pre Helix tech. Still a darm sight cheaper if you have the pedals already The other advantage is it gives a single signal for FOH that doesn't need to worry about what jiggerypokery is going on. The famous Mr Sheehan is possibly the most known exponent of the dark art. Even he gets pushback from FOH over a 2 channel bass.
  22. Hiw are you going to find the gig when you can't find the correct forum?
  23. Maybe your alternative device didn't put the L in for you instead of laurence like it did above.
