I've been a Mod on another Forum for some decades, and posted a topic on TB in 2013 recommending in similar terms a splendid tome on the History of Hofner guitars and basses, including an Amazon link. That 'spam' post is still there. T'is a funny ol' world.

In all likelihood, yes.

And you'll get another, here, if you continue with this poor use of language..! ...

I've registered an appeal against the 'posting 'spam' warning I've been given, as I sincerely believe that Alfie's book deserves to be recommended, and all the more so on a Bass Forum. I'll see what comes of it...

And another ... TB Miscellaneous ...

Whatever; I'm just glad that if that what it takes to get millions of 'hits', I'm well pleased with the 6 hits on my You-tube stuff. Max Bygraves didn't need stuff like that to be popular. It's sick cr@p, and that's all.

Ignoramus, too, so I, too, looked up the lyrics. I wish I hadn't. There's some sick folks out there. I'll not be listening to that, nor any other stuff of similar ilk if I can avoid it. Beurck..!

A triple-bill at the Hammersmith Odeon, '73, I think. Billy Cobham, Shakti, Weather Report. Billy Cobham, on fine pugilistic form; an immense jazz fusion drummer, with musicians to match. Then Shakti: John McLaughlin (guitar; what else..?), Lakshminarayana Shankar (on violin...) and two percussionists, Zakir Hussain (on tabla...) and Vikku Vinayakram (on ghatam, an earthenware pot...). I gradually floated up out of my seat, transported by the ambience generated. What that bloke did with just his two hands and that simple pot made Billy Cobham look like a kindergarten child, an amateur. I was near the (very high...) ceiling when the percussionists had their 'solo' spot, with one playing a complex measure with the tabla, replied to by t'other with the pot, back and forth, faster and faster, with their rhythms and phrases becoming ever shorter until after a few minutes, they were playing in perfect unison a complex, long, polyrhythmic composition at hectic speed. There are two possibilities for achieving this. Either they rehearsed for decades, aided by witchcraft, or they are telepathic. Of these two choices, I believe that telepathy is the easier option..! Sorry to say I didn't return to my seat until after the end of the Weather Report set, good as it was; I was beyond saturation, and couldn't soak up any more. One can almost have too much of a Good Thing. Almost.

I'm afraid that this would test my medical expertise beyond my current limits, and could provoke a reappraisal of the conditions last laid down by the magistrature. Thanks for the tip, just the same.

I don't think she does, but thanks for making me doubt, now. What other symptoms should I look out for..?

This ^^ +1

If you route the kick through another track still, you'll be able to use this new track instead for hearing the kick, and mute it (or, better still, maybe, use automation to alter its ouput...), whilst maintaining its effect on the compressed part. Hope this helps.

This explains the process pretty clearly... Sidechain Compression in Reaper ... If you are still having trouble, PM, and I'll make a little Template for you. Follow the method linked, though, and you'll be fine.

A Cure for my impatience..?

Our postie arrives, just as I was reading this. No delivery, though; just catalogues for stuff that I don't need nor want. Maybe tomorrow..?

Good evening, Rob, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

I've been 'tagging' the same way for years : Basschat Composition Challenge (Month) (Year) Original. If they don't know why I'm posting after that, they're not that bright, I'd say.

Think of it as being two pickups in one casing. One knob does one bit, t'other the other. Plug in to the amp, turn both volume knobs down to zero. Play summit (no, s'not loud, I know...). Now turn one knob up to halfway, and play some more. Turn it back down, and do the same with t'other knob. Any difference..? While this second knob is turned up, gradually turn up the first one, so that they're both working. Any difference..? Try it, and any other combination that takes your fancy.

Make daily notes, in diary form or whatever you wish, as a way into writing. The thing about novels is that they don't just spring from the blank pages. Get writing, at least about your day, and start making notes, while you're at it, on the novel. It'll come together, along with the rest. You can do it, that's certain.

Ah, I forgot for a moment that you're a Bassist. To me, as a Drummer, I make a distinction between 'speeding up' and 'speeding it up'. Sorry, 'my bad' as I'm told the youf of today say; it won't happen again. ...
