Sorry for the dopey question above 🙄, I meant, can you set the EQ for one channel, then save it and have a separate EQ settings for the second channel? Please pardon me, it's sunny outside and i might have had an early bank holiday beer 🍺

Yes it has an A and B channel. You can set separate eq’s to each channel and save them. This means you could have separate instruments input for A/B and separate amps if you really wanted ! You could also run the output from channel A to the input of channel B so you have tonnes of options.
 

I used to run my pre-amp after channel A and then output the pre-amp to channel B, this would giving eq options before and after the pre-amp stage. Helpful? 
 

Wowzers awesome lokkkng vintage, and light too ! 

Don’t crash the band van in to the venue you just finished playing at. In fact don’t offer to drive the band van, ever.

Question to all you armchair quarterbasses out there. re: the Entwistle/Squire debate - would the Peppers be The Peppers w/out FLEA?

Definitely not! Yesterday I watched a YouTube video of a recent gig (think it’s on this thread somewhere) for me the best parts were fleas bass playing and improv/Jams between songs. The chemistry between flea/frusciante/smith, reminded me of a VHS I had of some early stuff, better than the songs for sure.

🤯 mind blown

Still trying to listen to the chilli peppers new album and formulate an opinion see other thread 

Pineapple caramel explosion 💥? 

Having a listen to Love Unlimited right now,  some really nice bits from Flea - certainly showing at some points the effects of studying Jazz & yet reverting to typical flea. I’ve always been a flea fan tho so perhaps I’m biased. 
 

Drums are great  - hard & funky with a few more lavish fills/grooves, he’s no weckle/Lang/virtuoso but spot on for the chillis style and better than I remember  to be honest. 
 

AK is sort of like water for the most part but that’s the chillis and has been since BSSM sort of Coldplay like. I think his vocal melodies also drive many of the songs to dreariness and that place of ‘meh’ again very By The Way. I’ve seen the Chilis live a number of times but unfortunately what sticks in my mind the most is when Kiedis forgot the words @motorpoint Sheffield 2011 (ish). 
 

I quite liked the Josh Knopfler (is that right?) stuff from the 2011 release but that album was much funkier if I recall rightly. I have no memory of the follow up album 😁. Anyway so frusciante yes nice in places and similar to Kiedis like water in others - but  my favourite guitarist right now is Mr D. Trucks so maybe not my taste. Being a bass player I don’t particularly listen much to the guitarist anyway 😂but I know if I like something they play. 

Overall what I expected from a post 90’s chillis album. 

I’ve gone on a bit haven’t I
 

Poster child and Aquatic Mouth Dance 👌

Shame I don’t have £850 as I have some serious Flea Jazz GAS ! When these were first out I played one at the gallery, fast neck and great playability ! GLWTS

Shucks maybe I’m too late 

Very nice 👌 

Still here 😊 had another tickle yesterday it’s great 👍 I’m tempted to upgrade pickups (not that it needs!) and keep but the piggy bank is empty ! Help

Trades maybe 🤔 offers considered

Still here! Some interest in Shipping, I have suitable boxes and packaging materials but no hard case (shipping musical instruments without flight/hard case may invalidate insurance apparently).

My pedal still hasn't sold, otherwise I'd be interested

Sorry.

Looks like a nice looper I may be interested in a trade😉 just seeing how  the ol wonga 💰 💵 💷 goes 🤞

Had a play on this yesterday, man it’s tasty ! I have a few interested parties but nothing solid, need to move by end of month 👌

Any offers ? Need to move this ASAP! 

Nice wallpaper! 
 

edit:

lovely looking bass too !

Think we’ve been slightly derailed! Performance Anxiety and critical appraisal of a performance are completely different.
 

I’ve had recorded live performances where I’ve suffered no anxiety and then listened back and thought that bit was ok, the next  bit was awesome and then this next section was downright dog turd. No anxiety listening back either.

The theory was developed for sporting performance, but can be applied anywhere. It’s just a theory, after all.

 

The concept that if you’re too nervous you’ll make mistakes is something of a truism, in any case. 

Performance, sporting or otherwise is performance. Right?
