No, have you got any idea how much a flute this size would weigh?

I also supply the PA and the best thing I did was to stop buying black leads. I make my own cables so have a selection of red, blue, green, and yellow leads. It is very obvious which ones are mine, it is much easier which packing down as we don't have a mass of black spaghetti to untangle and it makes trouble shooting much easier. I can tell at a glance which speaker or monitor is plugged in where. I'm staring at 20m of orange balanced cable right now trying to decide if I need 2x10m or a 15m and 5m.

I find it odd that there is such a strong reaction to pitch correction but not to quantising. One is to correct imperfections in pitch and the other to correct imperfections in timing. Arguably, fixing the timing has a much bigger impact on the groove and feel of a song so could be considered the bigger sin. By the same token, we use dozen of effects on guitar and bass, so why shouldn't vocalists? Sure, it's a matter of taste and some consider that it gets overused, so why isn't distortion/overdrive considered overused when it is far more prevalent? I'm not entirely sure of my own feelings on the matter, so I am just trying to keep an open mind.

I used to have the same problem, but now I use the EarSoft Level plugin, it is a compressor/limiter for your browser.

I have one of these and agree that it is a great amp but it was a long time before I read the manual properly and found out about the unusual eq controls. The bass and treble are active but the mids are passive only, so when the control are all set the flat the response is nothing like flat.

I saw the Rolling Clones a few years back. I don't know if they are still gigging.

They're not free everywhere, but you'll never have to pay more than £1. However, they don't fold up so hard to get in the back of a Fiesta

I was in a band that switched to the Behringer version of these on top of mic stands. There were 2 main benefits: 1. Getting them closer to your ears mean they don't need to be so loud reducing overall stage volume. 2. You get loads of floor space back. They are both off the floor and tiny. In my view, spot monitors are the best solution if you don't want to go with IEM.

I use a combination of Mobile Sheets and iRealPro on my Android tablet. If it is just chord charts then I prefer iRealPro, because it is dead easy to transpose songs at the drop of a hat. But for stuff that has to be PDF then that's when I break out Mobile sheets.

I know this is too late now, but has anyone tried these?: https://www.thomann.de/gb/doepfer_mbp25_elektronik_mit_1_pedal.htm

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1501666762' post='3346325'] ... no one wants to go to a pub and hear Sex On Fire or All right Now every week. [/quote] Actually, yes they do. It's us that don't want to play it every week in every band we play in and hear it again when we have a night off and go to see a band

We play it, it is an easy crowd pleaser. And yes, it changes key 2 times, each time up a semitone.

I would try plugging into one amp, then taking the effects send of that amp and plugging into the other either through the input or the effect return depending on if you want to use the preamp section of the second amp. Of course this only works if your amps have effects loops.

I really like the aesthetics of that unit, shame they had to ruin it with those 6 massive screws.

Not a book, but I found this website very helpful when I did my Grade 5 theory. https://www.mymusictheory.com/

I think if used to refer to all guitarists then it is disrespectful at the least, although I've always thought it referred to the specific type of guitarist that has no awareness of the rest of the band. What I find much more offensive is the ginger bashing that seems so prevelant these days. It's almost as if people have finally accepted that it is wrong to abuse people based on the colour of their skin so have moved on to the colour of their hair. Where next, the colour of their eyes?

[quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1489668467' post='3258783'] Done. Was anyone else surprised by the proposed charging structure or more to the point the percentage cut proposed to maintain the service? [/quote] Done, but agree with Nicko. The options seem to be paying commission AND a monthly fee, in my mind it should be one or the other but the options did not allow for this.

I know that you have solved your problem with removing it but I thought I would just add that we have an amp at home where the bolts that attach the handle go into the amp chassis and need to be removed before the amp can slide out. Maybe that it the case on this amp?

A few years ago I reluctantly went to see the Mikado with my wife as a friend of hers was in it. Rather unexpectedly I really enjoyed it and we go to see the annual show by the same G&S group every year now. She doesn't drag me along to the ballet though, she takes our daughters to that as they all dance. When I first met her she used to love coming to my gigs in the soul band. She wasn't so keen on the rock bands I've been in and really doesn't like my current jazz band. Perhaps I'll join a band in future that she likes again, who knows?

It's almost like playing with a guitarist that understands how to play in a band with other musicians.

I use music guard, I had to make a claim after my little boy knocked over my double bass and snapped the neck off. They asked for a damage report from a luthier and then paid up. Even better, they did not jack up my premiums the following year which I was a bit worried about. It also comes with PLI so that comes in handy for those venues that insist that you have cover and want to see a certificate.

[quote name='sirmuppet' timestamp='1467882517' post='3086898'] I even was able to participate in a conga while playing [/quote] I was considering one of these, but now I'm having second thoughts!

You say you are having a jam with them for half an hour but don't say if this is a private jam or in front of an audience, that may affect some of the replies. Personally I would say to play like yourself, not what you think they want to hear. If you get the gig playing in a manner that doesn't inspire you and they expect that from you all the time, you could get frustrated with the band very quickly. From the other side, if you get the gig based on you not being yourself the band could get equally frustrated with you. Be yourself.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1460795871' post='3028751'] Quite, how are you going to flap your trousers? An electric fan? [/quote] It would have to be a quiet one though, try one of these [url="http://www.dyson.co.uk/fans-and-heaters/cooling-fans.aspx"]http://www.dyson.co.uk/fans-and-heaters/cooling-fans.aspx[/url]

This seems like a good opportunity to quote the late Terry Pratchett from one of his books: [b] “The Monks of Cool, whose tiny and exclusive monastery is hidden in a really cool and laid-back valley in the lower Ramtops, have a passing-out test for a novice. He is taken into a room full of all types of clothing and asked: Yo, my son, which of these is the most stylish thing to wear? And the correct answer is: Hey, whatever I select.”[/b] So from this I conclude that the coolest bass is the one that I am playing at any given point in time
