2019 Gear Abstinence Challenge (Updated with 'rules')
Sibob replied to Sibob's topic in General Discussion
I’m still on course for my gear hiatus :). The Noble will be ordered this weekend and collected at NAMM, then I’m done for a year apart from a Mustang gigbag (which is part of my allowance lol). I am vaguely planning a 5 string P from Lakland in 2020, but let’s get through 2019 first. Si -
This. It genuinely looks awful, how that got through the product design process is beyond me. Stick to the other full size P/J model, then reissue this with the standard Mustang split on it's own....it's that easy. Si
-
Maybe Spring 2019 and March 2020? Walk it back in order to swap with LBGS Si

The trouble with that setup is that many who offer both will likely prefer to be part of the guitar show, usually because they're seen as a guitar brand who offer bass products, not vice-versa. I'd like to see brand stands split over both shows/floors, allowing those who cover both to offer dedicated offerings for each show. Logistically not ideal for the exhibitor, but the best experience for the punter in my opinion. Discounted space would clearly make sense for those looking to split stands, and it would hopefully mean we'd see the return of some big names to the bass show as a result of their attendance at the guitar show. I can see manufacturers not wanting to do that though unfortunately. But I'm no events coordinator though so we'll see what they've come up with. I'm sure it will be nothing but the best for each show, but retaining the character of the bass show is a must for it to survive I think. Si

When you accidentally invent the fuzz bass solo

Fantastic, think it actually works really well! That's basically Prog for that era haha Si -

Daysleeper is still one of my favourite songs ever. Fixed it for you. Si

For transparency, I work for Novation. You might find that a polyphonic keyboard synth with over 2 octaves is a bit of a stretch (for something quality) for £200. FWIW, I've never felt restricted by 2 octaves for key-bass parts, if anything it focuses what you're doing. You're essentially losing 1 octave compared to a 22 fret bass, ask yourself how often you genuinely play in that third octave. Bear in mind that all synths will have buttons that allow you up and down octaves, actually making their range a great deal more than a bass. My buddy Shawn doesn't seem to feel restricted: Polyphony will almost certainly up your budget, a used Ultranova would be great, but whilst it's awesome, bear in mind that it's probably not going to teach you a great deal about synthesis by just using the presets on the hardware, you need to use it in conjunction with the Ultranova editor on your computer. As opposed to the BSII where each feature has a hardware control on the actual unit, much more hands on. They both can also be used as midi controllers though, so for your production work, if you don't want to use the sounds on the synth, just use the hardware to control sounds on your computer. Anyway, just some food for thought, other brands and products are obviously available Most important thing is to have fun! Si

Do Bandlab have any technical support? Tried calling them? Si

Incase Fender are watching, yes, fail on that Mustang Jazz Pickup. Either don’t use one at all with the classic split cool shape (the newer P/J’s are fine), or do something cool like the lipstick p’up arrangement on the last page. This new layout looks lazy! Si

Quite, Thunderbolt 2 = one adapter, Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) = two adapters. I would argue that there’s a fair number of Thunderbolt options, but as you say, it tends to be middle to high end interfaces, purely because it’s usually more experienced producers, working on more processor hungry sessions, that require that latency headroom. For the vast majority of us, USB 2.0 is more than sufficient for recording. Si

I should point out that Firewire will work over Thunderbolt with the appropriate connector (although not vice-versa), when I say 'Firewire is dead' I simply mean no-one is developing it anymore, including Apple. Si
-
FireWire is dead. Everything is either USB or Thunderbolt, and even then it’s moving to USB-C (which has ability to carry USB & Thunderbolt 3 protocols) Si

Eugh, I fell into the trap. Helluva necro-thread!! Si -
A quick Google suggests that the following would be a good place to start: https://www.rncm.ac.uk/study-here/what-you-can-study/undergraduate/bachelor-of-music-popular-music/ https://www.bimm.co.uk/manchester/ Si

Rudy's is fun for a look around, but it's a bit like looking for a bargain in Vintage & Rare......never going to happen (not that you're in the market). I went into the Guitar Centre in Brooklyn, decent stock, but largely boring. If interested in Fodera and/or Sadowsky then definitely email them first and explain your situation. When I was over, I had a workshop tour at Fodera (although I did have an order in with them at the time), they were more than happy to accommodate if it was on a particular day. Not sure how Sadowsky works, but I imagine you also increase your chances by pre-arranging it. Leave a good 1-2 hours to find each place via the Metro and walking, Fodera is a fair old trip down to mid-Brooklyn. Si -
Pete bought my Sub n Up, super fast payment after initial message. Cheers and enjoy! Si

Put them in 20 or 30mins before you play, acclimatise to the volume drop! Louder things being ‘better’ is obviously just psychoacoustics. Si

As long as you’re happy 😃 Si

I do love that sofa....very understated 😂 Si

I got some good string/woodwind/brass collections from Plugin Boutique for 91% off or something stupid, £4 each. Also bought some Nike running shoes today for 50% off, direct from Nike. Doing well lol. Not spotted anything of interest bass wise, but I’m pretty much sorted! Si
