TrevorR Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Gutted… I’m now looking very dubious for Sunday. Our little fella has been off school the last three days with a lurgy and it looks like me and the other half have come down with it too! ☹️🤒🤧🤢🤕 I probably could struggle along but you really don’t want me to. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I'm struggling for Sunday now too. I had knee surgery about six weeks ago and I'm still hobbling about. Spoke to the consultant yesterday, he's just suggested the ongoing pain I'm in is part of the healing process and has suggested I keep off the leg (Rest/Ice/Compress/Elevate). I'll see how I go today. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kebabkid Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) Hi All, I'm looking forward to tomorrow and seeing and hearing you good folk. One thing I'm particularly interested in, and it's eluded me so far, is a good octaver. I've had the Boss OC-2, 3 & 5, the Aguilar and tried the famed Pearl, the TC Sub and MXR but they're not doing it for me. Think Tony Levin on 'Sledgehammer' or Guy Pratt on some Floyd stuff or Pino, which are probably all OC-2s but I need better tracking and lower range. Anyone bringing anything along tomorrow that fits the bill, let me know and I'll seek you out as well as anyone with a decent budget fretless. See you anon and safe journey.

Cos Likewise I’m looking forward to seeing everyone. I have a Laney “85” that you are welcome to have a go with. It does up and down. I’m not sure how far it tracks down, but I recall playing one song with either and F or F# and the sound tech said it was fine with my fretless. The other one I tried that you haven’t mentioned that might fit the bill for you is an EBS Octabass. You can tell it whether you want to track high or low registers - I guess it does some algorithm adjustment. That may fit the bill and it does sound good. Unfortunately I don’t have one for you to try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
