    Hotcha

    Good afternoon, Nekomatic, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.
  3. Oops..! I thought that was her ID..! I must get my glasses checked again. ...
  4. That was layman's terms..! Difficult to put more simply, but the Power Supply Unit (PSU, or 'brick'...) is rated to be able to supply up to a certain current (expressed in amps ('A'...), or milliAmps ('mA'...). Any pedals connected must draw (consume...) less, when added together, than the PSU can deliver. So, as an example, a PSU rated for 500mA is OK for one pedal drawing 100mA, or even up to five at a push (but no more; best to have a small margin, so four would be a better limit...), The same PSU can supply a single pedal consuming 300mA, but not two of 'em. Is that clear enough now..?
  5. That's a raw deal, and a very good example of why firearms need to be locked away. For once I agree with your appropriate expletives.
  6. You've shaved since, I see. ...
  7. (... and the audition will go just fine. Tell us all about it when you've sobered up from the dual celebrations. )
  8. I expect that your drummer is delighted, too. ...
  9. A velcro band around the nut to dampen open strings.
  10. It seems to be the Mac he's moving away from; Logic Pro only runs on a Mac OS. To answer the OP, I'd suggest looking at the spec and screenshots of the main contenders and downloading a trial version of whatever you think might be a fit for you. I think you can get splendid results from pretty much any of the main DAWs (I use Reaper, but we're all different, so...). Edit: I may have misunderstood the 'Mac' part, but the essence of my reply rests.
  11. Definitely more glitter. One can never have too much glitter in these circumstances. Thick varnish, too, help a lot. When I say 'thick', I really mean 'very thick indeed'. And did I mention 'more glitter'..?
  12. Good afternoon, BB, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. Please allow me to advise removal of the picture..? The phrase in itself is fine, but the 'religious' interpretation depicted is against Forum 'no politics, no religion' rules. Thanks in advance for your understanding and cooperation. Douglas
  13. Thin end of the wedge right there. In my younger days it was The Incredible String Band and Love. You young'uns indeed..!

    Hi-

    Good afternoon, G, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.
  15. Why are you looking at Ebay..? Get back to your studying..! ...
  16. I solved the weight 'problem' in two different ways. My 'go-to' bass is a Hofner Verithin, and for playing my sixer fretless, or any heavier basses, I sit down. No weight issues here. As for the sound : I play the sounds that the instrument has. They're all good, to me. I'm not trying to emulate anyone or anything. If it's rauque, I play rauque. If it's soft, I play soft. I'll play to whatever the bass/amp/cab has to offer, and make the best 'pig's ear' out of it that I can. Disclaimer : I'm a drummer but have the same attitude to drums...
  17. A typically swingeing 'broad-brush' opinion, but I doubt that it covers all the bases, or even some of 'em. Budget is a concern for some (many..?), but a more expensive bass is not a guarantee of being a better 'fit', so I disagree.
  18. Are you saying that you actually sit down and listen quietly to punk's simplicity and brutality..? ...
  19. Maybe it's a function of whether one enjoys jumping up and down or sitting quietly and listening..?
  20. With the different basses and guitars I have, there's no commonality in necks/width/weight/profile/whatever. They're all the same to me (disclaimer : I'm not very good with any of 'em...). I can understand for a high-flying virtuoso preferring a particular set-up, but for most of us, I reckon it's just habit, and not having used other instruments. To each his/her own, or course.
