Do you mean it runs off USB C?

Of course he won't, he would be restricted to piano and organ parts then rather than trying to do everything.

Can't let that go, please explain your setup.

The time is something I think will come good after time. However, this is exactly my experience, partly caused by several cases of Ludititus.

It can make some funny ( funny strange not funny hilarious) noises when the battery is low. However it is small enough, like the Zoom B1 series, to fit in a gig-bag pocket. I gigged one for several years. It can be used with a power supply too.

I have both the Zoom B1-4 and B2-4, I did buy the B2-4 for the XLR/DI Output but the sound of the effects is just a little better on the B2-4 but I could, and have, used the B1-4 before with an Orchid DI. The BDI21 is also a good shout. I have a thread elsewhere showing how to mod them to smooth out the smiley face.

Me too. I am waiting for a certificate from Greta😀

Yup my lot are dinosaurs. I have just got them on to Active Speakers but still have grumbles about no faders on the mixer. I would gladly put an axe through the Rythym Guitarist's Vox combo. Saying that the drummer, also the oldest member of the band, would love to use over the ear headphones.

Did you plants some trees?

The replacement bass arrived on Saturday and a quick look suggests a keeper. All my concerns on the first one have gone and with no adjustment I could gig with this one. I will change the strings, they are light gauge and of a standard that you would expect form a £150 bass. I will do a full review in the reviews section later. However here are a few things: The hardware, bridge and machine heads seem OK and the machine heads are better than the stock ones on my Marcus Miller M2, a bass almost twice the price. The frets are smooth and reasonably well rounded, no sharp edges. The finger board is flat, 15" radius and the edges are not rounded. It is also a P bass width, 42mm at the nut. While I like a thinner neck, it is not a big problem. The neck is fatter than both my Aerodyne and M2 but its not a baseball bat like some P basses I have tried. The pickup is OK and the tone control does go from bright to really soft/dull. As with the neck, the body does not have the curve that the real Aerodynes have but that does not really detract from the look. It also means you can choose a traditional bridge without modding the body, although whether there will be cosmetic damage showing from the exiting individual bridge pieces, I do not know. As I said earlier I could gig this bass if the strings were changed but all in all a remarkable instrument for the money. Is it a Harley Benton beater? It is about the same standard. I have HB guitars that were good but not perfect and like them this has one small issue, the end of the fingerboard is not perfectly finished. However a coupe of strokes with a nail file should sort that. I will put lots of pictures on the review but I will add a few here later. One comment on the finish, it is lighter in colour than the G4M website picture as can be seen on the pictures above of the bass I returned.

Thanks for that. I should have thought of that but brain is in post viral fog.

I wonder how some live sound techs learns their trade. I went to a gig about three years ago. It was to see Glenn Hughes, former Trapeze and Deep Purple bassist/vocalist. Every time the kick drum activated, it obliterated the rest of the sound until the compression released and that seemed like seconds.I could just hear the lead guitar but the vocals and bass went west. It is not the only time the kick has dominated at a gig although the first where it so totally destroyed the mix. Now not all sound techs are like this but a lot are. What do you think is going on? Is the bass/wool heavy sounds of Dance music just altering the perception of a mix?

I have not seen the video but having disassembled a number of vintage pots, I would say put them to one side and fit new ones. The problem is that as the pots are used, the tracks become worn. The carbon tracks get a groove worn in them and the pot wiper wears out. There is little that you can do to change this. My advice is to replace them with new, Conductive Plastic pots. These are much longer lasting. They cost more than carbon pots (although probably cheaper than CTS pots) but they will probably last much longer.

Snap, just coming out, hopefully of a chest infection compounded by a second infection to my throat. Had a gig in the middle and it was close by so we did not cancel but I did not sing, due to both my stupidity in forgetting my mic stand and the throat. I am just waiting for the other members of the band saying the vocals were better that night.

I just don’t trust Google. I avoid them as much as possible.
