Thanks Dude-Interesting reading🤓

yo-you do know theres two versions of the rumble 40 don't you?

if you can pickup the 40 modelling model-its a cracker ! and fun to use too boot.....

Well Red,

I'm not happy with iLok (never have been to be honest mutter mutter musicmafia etc lol)

But in this case I do believe apple has seriously stuffed this update up,and all who sail in goodship musicbiz are getting the apathy full-on.

It would appear that there are many awaiting 14.4.1 - its rare that the 'ringdwellers' make this size foul-up,that affects all manner of computer uses and functions.

The danger is that the twits in the front office decide to force version 15 on us & forget about sorting the issues,hoping we all get distracted by more emojis or somesuch-

meanwhile iPlonk,the plugins and the hardware we all spent dosh on just gets shuffled out of view (because as has been shown,it doesnt affect most of the apple children-'eek what is music production?')

As usual no word from the accountants as to whether they will deign to make this issue one that they will deal with with any haste .....ranttette over,lucky me I have alternative gear in the studio that I can use,others......🥴

If you run any mac with recording in mind,and use the latest software,you will no doubt have heard of the cappucino clowns latest update cockup-re iLok and various toys from our us cousins that no longer work due to some java issues.

at this point we are waiting for the gay accountant to up his game and release an update to repair the damage.If he doesnt it will foobar a gooddeal of work taking place.and render some very expensive hardware up the creek.....hmmm

just a thought-do any of our crowd use these thangs? an if you do,hows this affecting you if do use it?

at present this appears a slow burner,but..........

RIP Nick - There but for the grace of.......

ditto-what he ^ said

You Guys do know that the bloke in Nevada that makes these, (Gob Instruments) has brought out a version as a pedal in a metal case with switch-its available on the bay & re verb.

There is also a run-down on how the original works on talkbass.......

excuse my ignorance,but would this instrument be a 'Lyra Viol' ?

Bank Sorted & Done !

Cheers Chris

J-P

Have PM'd

Free until 31st oct-if you have an account it auto downloads into it for you.......pointless really thats the third copy that I have now !

UA not the brightest sparks out there are they?

Funny enough I picked one up last Sunday from GuitarGuitar in Camden-Its as good as they say

They appear to have overcome the supply chain issue at long last it seems.

I'm in France, with a VPN running from a UK IP address. The message came up in English, and all options pre-ticked to acceptance, with no option to refuse all but 'essentials'. This, to me, is unacceptable, and does not ispire confidence in the motives of this outfit. During the initial Test phase, I laboriously went through all of it and 'un-ticked' it all. I am not willing to do this again.

Whilst this remains, I shall not be participating in Basschat; I'll be back when it's gone, or not at all, whichever comes the sooner. Meanwhile, my avatar and signature will be changed to ...

 

I'm with DAD...

If want to run itunes (12.9.5) on the newer silicon macs,then try using 'Retroactive'.

Silicon itunes to go!

Just click to the right-Retroactive latest duh......and follow the instructions.

Not everyone likes Apple Music

Just at this very moment,the doorbell goes and its the postie with some bass guitar related goodies-namely....my first new strap in ten years or so! (apart from the Mono from Bass Direct a couple of moths ago)

I dont know about you but I've been 4"Levys with suede backing or some such backpain limiting job for good reason.Being tall and skinny I need good balance

on a guitar,I can help with extra hardware(tuners/weight distrib etc) but the old wide leather beast is the go-to for me.......until now........

Since I stopped lurking here and joined (thanks in no small part to a Sir Richard Head III guitar shoppe,another thread maybe) I realize that I miss the company of all thangs Bass

which have been sadly lacking of late,so,I saw this ad for an english strapster over in Shropshire called 'Pinegrove Leather' which no doubt many here have heard of/used and proceeded to

peruse and eventually buy from-Arghhhh not a plain wide strappy thing but a multicoloured snakeskin - its very different from my usual,but hey what the hell eh?

They also do other stuffs,of which I perchased a 'Gear Wallet' in Red-not so sure about that yet,we will see.....

Anyone else gotten themselves some mad strappage ??? Do show heh

I'm off to play with my snake...............

Nope-The two Fenders are both the new Japanese Aerodyne Specials which replaced all of the old configurations as of november last year.

They have completely new (and lovely) pickups,gotoh tuners,babicz full contact bridges and that very very high standard finish that Fender Japan are known for,they sound nice too-necks are yum!

I have a domestic and export model of the old Aero-I think these are well on par,if not better,maybe Big Daddy Fender in the USA has seen a big sales oportunity and are going to market these a bit more aggressively?

If you can get over the lack of a pickguard,and the shock of the price/quality aspect vs US/MEX-then I think for a certain kind of player,these are the dogs doodads.

Pickguards-Pah !

This one I think? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09DGRQ5YP/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3TQTDAPMQ4LIN&psc=1

 

Yeah it would great with the Orba 2!!

Duh! search skills on the fritz agin....Having read the makers site and specs for this-it would maybe it be a little pointless? They show that their premium waza product at a gazillion dollars $259 is in fact the one they want you to have,

I like the waza-its been a good little option to that headphone problem-after phil's stuff I lost interest & then lo and behold the unupdateable waza appears & saves the day!

Now how to integrate that bloody orba........

and it's on offer at £79 from Amazon

Couldn't see it on the Jungle site-had the 'KAT' vers at £79 tho,but no 'BW' vers.

The makers site you list does offer the waza air at £56 plus shipping-as you say - its not much use for your reqs (and prolly mine on that basis) however I'm gonna see if I can interface it with my Orba mk2-You never know........lol
