Great day, got a bit of an hangover this morning, I was in the vicinity of MB1 for most of the day, we had a few beers! We were in an area where stevie threw a set of strings, it hit MB1's pint and drowned me! Got some GAS, which I will be moving on today, could go in one of two directions, still mulling it over T

I got two reoqaolid covers for mty ebs cabs last week, I needed them quick and they did a great job turning them around for me. Good quality too T

Hey, all opinions are welcome, it's an open forum. My only experience has been whilst doing a few recent gigs with him. Good player and a nice bloke, but I suspect given a bit of space he has the capability to go off on one T

[quote name='Toasted' post='653608' date='Nov 13 2009, 02:01 PM']Tony, you're a legend.[/quote] Cheers Joe! It's nice to be back playing, and playing with good musicians after a bit of a break! we may get chance to play with another well known guitarist in the near future, still in the planning stage yet though You coming to bass day? BTW, this was a 4 bass gig!!!! too many changes!!!! I use my Sei 5 string and Pedulla for our regular set, which preceded what you see in the video, I then played Corpses on a P bass, cos thats what he wanted, although that will be played on my Sei bass next time (my j-retro nails the tone) and My Star is played on a fully detuned P bass, didn't wanna take the chance of moving all 4 strings up and down a tone, was worried the tuning may not settle. I went on the side of caution and did a quick bass swap! I swapped back to my Sei right at the end for a quick blast thru 20th Century boy to finish the set, that went down great Tony

Thanks Mr Fox, I guess one of the disadvantages of the solund being recorded straight into a video camera is that the bass gets sucked out The band is going well, we were playing live a lot and it has tightened us up a lot, got a bit of a break now and we're re recording some older tracks and getting a few new tracks together Playing with someone like Aziz is an experience, he has been around a bit (simply red, stone roses) and can be demanding when it comes to getting stuff together! The track on the video is off Ian Browns forst album I think (correct me if I'm wrong, I was into the SR's but lost intrest with his solo stuff) He has a duo with a tabla player called Dahl, does a lot of asian style blues stuff, worth seeing from what I hear, we are doing an acoustic set in december as support to him and Dahl We're doing a date with the Blockheads next month, was going to see them anyway, but now I'll be there playing Tony

Thank you very much sir! T

A video of part of a set we did last weekend has shown up on You Tube, it's one of the tracks we did with aziz ibrahim (SR's / IB) it's My Star, one of the tracks he wrote with Ian Brown Jap P bass with all strings down a tone thru EBS TD650 and 2 x 410 neoline cabs [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAuoW4emFOk"]Don't know how to embed youtube!![/url]

I am going, tis but a short bus ride away! Tony

My daughter caught me in the zone! [attachment=36101:chloes_dad.jpg]

I hear Leopard is good for the update even though it didn't work on mine, snow leopard has (did have?) issues Tony

I shut everything down and tried different usb ports, still no joy Also tried on my mac, still didn't work Got a guy in work bringing another usb-midi interface in tomorrow Cheers Tony

No problem, its just a little bit frustrating! I'm really hoping that this is going to be something simple like a midi interface, so I have a plan this morning! I've brought the midi interface into work, going to give it to someone I know who uses midi a lot, for him to test It still may be possible it's a midi problem as the other system I used it on was connected via a midi patch bay, but this has been used on Line 6 devices before?? Also posted on Line 6 forum, but not checked yet for replies and after being advised to ring Line 6, all I got was a request to send an e-mail, to which I have yet to get a reply T

Tried two sperate midi set ups. I mentioned several times that I tried it on a system that has been used to update Line 6 products (x3 etc) via monkey before Yes, swapped cables round. I've been using stuff like this for a long time, so have half an idea what I am doing, please read what I've wrote previousley cos I'm just repeating myself a lot here! T

Tried it on my laptop, my G5 running Leopard and a guitarists PC that has been used to update other line 6 devices! Midi interface is one I bought from PMT yesterday, Forgot the make, Light......! or somethin like that, wasn't a budget job!! Tony

Tried every conceivable way of connecting, powering etc, still not recognising M9 over midi also did a factory reset, still nothing T

Thanks for the advice, yes it was on! I'm very familiar with midi, not used it for a while but have been using it since sometime back in the early 90's and it makes perfect sense the way the in / out thing works. May have another bash this evening! T

I checked the midi drivers, all up to date I skipped the registration process and still get the same message [i][b]M9 update failed (code 800000A) An undefined error occured: Try the update again, making sure midi cables are still connected[/b][/i] Fed up of trying this! Tony

After a fairly hectic schedule over the last few weeks, this weekend saw a chnace to have a good look at the M9, first thing to do was update the firmware! COMPUTER SAYS NO! What a nightmare!!! spoke to Tayste, his went ahead no problem, but I have a very different story Installed Monkey (latest version, 1.31) on laptop, asked me to regsister product, which I did. Tried again, still asked me to register product, got directed to product registration page where I could see my M9 already registered! Got stuck here, can't past this! Installed Monkey on G5, still same problem, midi interface working, but monkey not seeing M9 Went to guitarists house last night, his PC is being used with several line 6 products including M13 and X3 over midi Still got the same problem, cant get past registration even though it is registered Played with a Line 6 supported artist last night, he was also pissed off with updating his M9, but he got it to work, he suggested calling Line 6 direct, will see how I get on with this today cos right now, I cant see a way forward Tony

This FridaY MOHO Live - Indigo birthday night, Aziz from the Stone Roses / I an Brown will be loining us on stage for a few of our tracks, plus a few tracks he co wrote with Ian Brown, Corpses etc we're on at 10 I think its £6 on the door, £5 for a ticket Tony

I just heard about a band in manchester looking for a bassist, playing prog rock, muse type stuff! Let me know if your are intrested and I'll pass details on Tony

Hi No photo's yet, but the last part of my EBS rig build arrived yesterday and will be giged on Friday night, during which time I will get some photo's I have my old faithul TD650 and had a desire to run an 8x10 rig. I initially had two 410 proline cabs, a few weeks back I found a used 4x10 neoline at bass direct so decided to take the plunge. Played a gig last week with one neo cab and a proline. After the sale of my last remaining proline I ordered a second neoline cab which arrived yesterday, the cab got tested at rehersal last night ready for a big gig we got on friday I know it's gonna sound HUGE as I've done many gigs with the 2 prolines! I was lucky to pick up a proline with a full flightcase, I've kept this, I'm not using the full case, just the wheeled based, it's agreat help for moving gear around Thanks to Bass direct and EBS UK for taking money off me and making this happen, great service and quick delivery from both Tony
