Aren't we all..!

Good afternoon, GG (well, OK; Mike...), and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share, as you already know. Well done on getting your new role; also for supporting your our everyone's favourite bass forum. Keen to see what follows...

Can't hear any great problem there getting that to FOH; I've seen dozens of bands with gnarly clanging bass which come across well without issues. I don't think 'flat un-EQ`d P-bass out front' is the only option available for FOH DI treatment, though. There are other factors involved on the console. Try the '+' button just to the left of 'Quote'. This brings up a little box, lower right. Select that once all the multi-quotes having been selected with the '+'. Hope this helps.

Thanks, and good to know there's Work In Progress; maybe I'll hold off searching for stuff till it settles down, then..! No point if I'm not going to find stuff, eh..? @petergales: Problem solved..?

@Kev Explanation, please..? I couldn't bring that up with any of the 'Search' tools I have. What's your secret, Guv..?

I've 'Reported' this, to bring it to the direct attention of the Mod/Admin team. The sleuths will be out with their bloodhounds and ultrasound tracking devices shortly; any odd knocking on your wood panelling will be coincidental. Just checking: have you looked down the back of the sofa..?

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

Importing has its own foibles and drawbacks, and 'off the shelf', even if of a high standard, may not be exactly what is required. Just sayin'.

This might throw another light on this bloke's talent and qualities...

Now, now, don't go sitting on the fence like that, you shrinking violet. Tell us what you really think; don't hold back. ...

They've a big enough presence on t'web to get an idea, I'd say;. Maybe even enough to inspire a visit; it looks that nice..! No, I've never been there, but I've a pretty effective Google..!

A bit of a shame, as the lyrics are, in themselves, quite nifty, for the most part. Not all, of course, but there not complete dross. Still, there are other artists from other climes (Ghana, Italy, Portugal, USA...) that I have no clue as to the sense of their libretto, but I still find musically interesting, opera being a case in point

Good Stuff in this genre does, indeed, exist...

[Patiently, clearly, slowly...] No, Blue, you're getting confused again. That's back at the Facili.... I mean condo. Have you taken your pills this morning..? [/Patiently, clearly, slowly...] ...

Are not all in Norfolk cousins..?

@Mornats: So, as this month's Winner, if you'd like to propose your picture for the next Challenge, send it by PM to either Skol303, Lurksalot or to myself. Please note: As December's Challenge is themed on a 'cover' (composed or played during the year 2017...), the picture received will be used for the January 2018 Challenge. A great start to the New Year is thus guaranteed..! OK, folks, the starter's pistol has sounded; get going on presenting your entries for the Special December '2017 Covers' Challenge. (... and congratulations again to our Worthy Winner, Mornats, and to the no less Worthy Runners-up...)

Enough..! Let's end the untenable suspense..! And the winner is... Mornats..! Here, then, is your Winner's Certificate (download and save as pdf file, then proudly print and frame...) ... BC_Chal_Cert_2017_11.pdf ... which looks like this (but bigger, of course..!)…

What, Mornats and his Doom machine..? It's more like a nuke you'll be needing..!

Going for that 'plays like butter' label, eh..?

Good gracious, indeed it does. Enormous, simply enormous. Merci, Ms Mitchell; yet another masterpiece.

I'd echo the above; we group the songs needing time for instrument changes so as to keep the 'flow' going. Another constraint nowadays is stamina; I'm now pretty incapable of playing more than two or three 'up-beat' numbers in succession for reasons of old age. No good getting 'em up dancing if the third-to-last song is interrupted in mid swing by drummer's demise.
