I've been lusting/GASsing for one of these . . . although my iMac is only a 2013 one, so I wasn't sure if the Equator software would be too much for it. Nice work!

Are you certain that the B3 will work with the iPad? I had a quick google and it looked as though some people hadn't managed to make it work. I haven't used the cheap Camera Adaptors, but you can get Focusrite iTrack solos second hand for around that sort of money, although possibly not the latest version with lightning.

I bought an interface and some studio monitors from their shop, but at my request they dispatched them to my home address from their mail-order operation free of charge. They were very willing to price match, have a interesting selection of synths and monitors in the shop. I don't think they do basses though, unless things have changed recently - my purchases were about 3 years ago. Based on that experience I would thoroughly recommend them - much more friendly than the equivalent Guitar Guitar music tech shop in Glasgow.

I've never done this and I don't know about the hardware, but this looks interesting: http://www.audiomulch.com/info/what-is-audiomulch I have had a Behringer BCF 2000 midi controller in the past, and I think that the BCR2000 midi controller could hook up to this.

On this evidence, she has a cracking pair of lungs . . .great voice.

Happy Christmas to all and thanks for the music! A great selection of songs here as ever. Ralph

IQ. http://www.iq-hq.co.uk A chance invitation to a gig (after I'd photographed them for a article in the student newspaper) made me realise that there was some music other than classical that spoke to me. I have subsequently liked other bands like Rush and Genesis, but still I return to IQ time and time again. A great band who are still going from strength to strength - I know that the original and current bass player Tim Esau is an occasional poster here, he plays some cracking lines, as did John Jowitt when he was in the band.

The new Retro B model from Alan at ACG perhaps? http://www.acguitars.co.uk/retrob-basses/

Mature bass player (50s), professional gear, living in the Glasgow area seeks musical recreation opportunities i.e. songwriting/jamming/recording. I was recently in a gigging originals rock/prog band - I'm not overly keen on playing covers though for a short term fun thing it's better than not playing. I write songs, play some keyboards and reed instruments, and read music. Musical interests range from rock to classical and musical theatre, not including Country & Western nor Britpop. I have access to recording equipment as well. Willing to travel Ayr/Paisley/Glasgow for rehearsals, but it probably won't suit me to rehearse on the same night every week.

I haven't (well, not on bass anyway). However, this [url="https://www.reddit.com/r/MusicalTheatreScores/"]https://www.reddit.com/r/MusicalTheatreScores/[/url] is a great resource and has made a great difference to my sight-reading. I've spent quite a few hours recently playing along to cast recordings. Yesterday I went back to some other music books and instead of my eyes straying to the tab lines, they stayed fixed on the notation. I've always been a confident sight reader in treble clef for the clarinet/sax, but doing this was just the ticket for improving my bass clef sight-reading and not looking at fret markers/fingering while playing.

A very difficult choice. Kudos to all.

Yes I know Douglas, and have done so on a number of occasions . . . let's just say that circumstances are not conducive to spending time writing music right now. Although I suppose it's a bit like falling off a horse (yes, done that as well on a similar number of occasions) and the longer I leave it, the more difficult it is to get back in to it.

If I'd voted on time, it wouldn't have changed the results. The consistently high standard makes me envious (in a nice way of course). Well done all.

Mine: [url="https://soundcloud.com/torturedsaints/"]https://soundcloud.com/torturedsaints/[/url] and a new Alto Sax instrumental piece up today, called 'Lenny H'. Nothing at all to do with Kenny G honest . . .

I'd be annoyed with a band member sitting on any cab!

Thanks for posting! Many happy hours spent playing his marches in my formative years with a symphonic/marching band Some cracking themes and counterpoint/descant parts. Not always easy to play.

Voted. Great photo and great compositions.

Hi Roman, I looked at that very same amp on eBay. I sent the sellers a message about the lack of serial number and they replied: [color=#231F20][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]All items are fully tested by our engineers prior to listing. Regarding any serial no. or its absence, that's how this stock item came in to us.[/font][/color] [font="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"][color="#231f20"]​I decided not to buy because their reply suggested that they might be turning a blind eye, but I think you've done all you can.[/color][/font]
