[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1467460770' post='3083836'] Sorry, but if you read my post, I'm not calling you anything. I'm nearly making a comparison between people who have the backbone to stand up and ply their art and others who hide behind falsities' in order to criticise. I fail to see how I have broken any forum rules. [/quote] Who's hiding behind anything or claiming to be better than her without offering their own material for judgement?

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1467462892' post='3083854'] I dont know what it is about Adele. I didnt give her much chance years ago, but after seeing her on tv , she seems so normal and aproachable , and I think that is her appeal. Makes a nice change from the stars that want nothing to do with thier fans except take thier money. I find her quite refreshing. [/quote] I'm sure she's a lovely lass and obviously some people love her music, it's still a fact that I find her songs dull and I think off key quite a bit, our female singer wouldn't have been happy with those first few songs and we are a low rent pub and function band.

Well in that case I'm happy to say Adele's music bores me and Billy can call me small minded, at least my comment was in relation to the thread albeit a negative point rather than name calling and off topic, probably both in his list of forum rules ironically, lol

That doesn't make her music any more palatable to me. If you feel so strongly about that why don't you use your mod powers to remove both of my accounts, probably do me a favour to be honest and save me being called small minded by a mod in the process. Gracias.

Her success makes her not a bit less dull to listen to imo, what's this weeks excuse for the duff notes in the first three songs? Mic fell into the piano, in ear monitors playing up again? Ha.

Thankfully it has a string missing so my money is safe!

You know what? that is nice and the first relic I have liked, I know a few people with genuine relics and they do look like that rather than the overly ruined rather than aged ones you see done with a grinder, tow rope and the M6!

Which is why for me in those instances I'd rather forego the awesome fuzz wah delay grind for a standard generic 'good' bass sound that can at least be heard out the front. Stingray pre eq, job done since '76 :-D

They are only about £18 via strings and things, no need for deep pockets if you just buy from the right place! I think Mark at bass direct can organise them for you, I purchased one from my sr5 with the screws from him.

Well you can't pre di the players fingers or the bass controls, that's where subtle changes for slap, thumb and plectrum should be made imo, not on the amp.

Are there any bands playing charity gigs in Milwaukee using relic guitars?

lots of courses with very different flavours and textures is great in a fancy restaurant where you have time to savour them, I'm not saying we should all have McDonalds for every meal but I'd rather have a good roast beef dinner that most of the punters can enjoy than a smoked asparagus sausage on a bed of hummus that only the front few tables got to taste, even if they said it was very very tasty! Meat and potatoes down the clean di, Mic a cab maybe if you like a bit of onion gravy on top. :-D

I think there's a lot of confusion between using pre or post eq on the head with a di and pre meaning a clean only bass, you can still use your fuzz and wah etc before the di box and send that pre eq of the head, still risky unless you have the time to test all the patches to the foh but you can set your stage amp however you like then and adjust mid set or even mid song without screwing the foh. Clean clean clean for me though, studios and live without my own sound crew are very different things imo.

Was it actually bad? Quite often I've been told how good the bass sounded at gigs where I thought it was crap from the stage area.

Not much to it anyway is there? I like it more than the Jazz, but I would wouldn't I?!

[quote name='deanovw' timestamp='1467031065' post='3080584'] That one is a Fender. [/quote] This is what they should be selling then surely?!

The eq required on the stage compared to the rest of the room are often very different, why people think the eq that sounded good in a practice room a week ago will automatically be the right one for the venue FOH I can't grasp?

Is his new one with the mm a fender or a custom build?

That does sound like a big tent tbf, although as ebs says as long as the dance floor area is covered you are doing alright.

^ tis the future.

I only think elo were bland in as much as thats what they do, I didn't think they under played. I couldn't watch coldplay if you paid me without punching someone.

When people say as good as the studio version but better, they should link this performance!

Yep ELO, super tight, massive back catalogue, good live mix, great musicians. Not really one of my fave bands but faultless really.

I've rarely heard any live bands get fx laden bass to sit well in a mix, I'm including big names in that, muse, chilis etc, from a punters point of view I'd rather they just got a nice solid core tone and left it at that live, Flea goes from awesome tone in one song to inaudible in the next!

Oops missed the xair18 Defo pre eq and make use of the eq for the bass channel, also is your kick compressed and gated? If not that superb pa will be trying to amplify everything including the bits not needed robbing lots of power.
