[quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1470764172' post='3108286'] It's a weird one. Yesterday I described why I didn't like a particular Jaco Pistorius bass part, and was called "ignorant". I didn't comment on the man, or the rest of his work, but apparently having an opinion makes me ignorant. Oh well. [/quote] Not quite fair, I'd say; the exact post in question was 'Ignorant, ', as a sly dig in the ribs, not an overt insult. It was referring to a previous little spat over definitions. No malice was intended. Just sayin'.

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1470755195' post='3108199'] Oh I dunno you know. I do like a bit of Trout. [/quote] I share your culinary tastes, but never tire of the 9th, personally. S'all good, really.

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1470682114' post='3107643'] Yes, brilliant. I presume you have heard the live Orchestral album ? Vince Mendoza and his terrific arrangements. Personally I only stumbled upon it last year. Not sure how I missed it to be honest. Sublime version of 'Hejira' [media]http://youtu.be/yt50Te9RriI[/media] [/quote] Well, in my own humble opinion, it doesn't get any better than this on this planet, 'between the forceps and the stone'. The very [i]definition [/i]of 'sublime'. There are, all through JM's long and fruitful career, so many pure gems; several of them are graced with a contribution from JP. Look, it's no exaggeration to say that it's even better than the Grateful Dead, and even Schubert..! There, I've said it..!

... and I find it strange that there are folks that don't seem to appreciate Phil Lesh, too... [url="https://archive.org/details/gd73-05-26.sbd.cribbs.17076.sbeok.shnf"]Box of Rain ...[/url] Funny ol' world, isn't it..?

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1470469285' post='3106166'] "Digital" and "tape" are two words that should have never gone together ever. [/quote] Oh, I dunno; they kept me in good work for a while... [quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1470470370' post='3106176'] Now hang on a minute. If it weren't for tape (paper tape at that), how else would programmers do their voodoo back in the day? Would you have them revert to cards? [/quote] One did not exclude the other. Sometimes, the cards were punched by hand..!

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1470423593' post='3105955'] Yous guys don't have Hot Dogs? Blue [/quote] This is a 'guy' (Penny for the Guy..? Remember, Remember, the 5th of November...) ... I'm much more used to 'blokes', 'fellows', 'chums' and, in some circumstances, 'mates'. There was a personality a while back whose catch phrase included 'Guys an' Gals'... He is little quoted nowadays, and looked upon with disfavour. Do we have hot dogs..? Some would maybe admit to such, but probably mask the 'taste' with brown sauce.

So, your EDM-polluted neural system has not been able to unravel the encrypted messages in there..? Far from being meaningless or empty, there are musical clues throughout. One can even dance to it in several different rhythms without breaking a leg (or into a sweat..!). This is, essentially, very old musical forms brought up to date simply by the use of more modern sounds. The structure is, well, not exactly antediluvian, but certainly centuries old. Yes, even older than I, if that's not too difficult to imagine. Glad it struck a chord, though; you're making progress too, it would appear. ([i]Yes, but is it Jazz..?[/i] Hmm... hardly, old fruit; hardly... )

[quote name='geoham' timestamp='1470427961' post='3105991'] Wonder if any of you have any advice... ... [/quote] Slow it all down. Try half-tempo, or even less. Sing (yes, in slow motion..!) and play; if it still doesn't work, slow down further. Gradually (over the course of a couple of weeks, for instance..?) bring the speed up. Guaranteed; cannot fail. Going slowly is the fastest way to get up to speed. Try it..?

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1470349839' post='3105492']... There's got to be a better name.... [/quote] Well, whoever came up with 'hot dogs'..?

[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1470337514' post='3105313'] And me too. I can't justify this technically but it just seems to make sense. Fifty years for me too. [/quote] I concur with all these [s]old folks[/s] seniors (well, I would, wouldn't I..?), although, here in [s]the real world[/s] Europe, there are [i]no [/i]fuses in these leads, so it's all a bit dumb as a debating subject, really. The leads don't often explode or catch fire over here; I must have handled thousands of 'em over the decades. Ne'er a jot of trouble with 'em regarding fuses.

I use a Boss Fender Deluxe pedal (FDR-1...) for this. No longer sold, it seems, but can be found on t'bay ... [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BOSS-FDR-1-FENDER-65-DELUXE-REVERB-EFFECTS-PEDAL-2-FREE-GUITAR-PLECTRUMS-/252460079590?hash=item3ac7cb19e6:m:mbJzsNoZk-t6vPUQu9QswwQ"]Fender pedal...[/url] It's very good, in my opinion (but there again, I'm a drummer, so...). Just sayin'; hope this helps.

Change the band name to 'Warwick'..?

The solution is blindingly obvious, of course. If employed, either ask for (and obtain...) a pay rise, or bid for (and obtain...) a higher-paid job. Those self-employed have only to raise their tarifs by an equivalent amount. Those with fixed income just stop spending (and therefore gain with no effort at all...). What's not to like..? The majority of the British populace are apparently happy enough to accept this modest price for having taken back control again, and have even dodged the 'Blond Bombshell for PM' bullet..! It's all good, surely..?

The early Morley pedals used modulated light (operated by foot pedal...) for volume, 'wah' and 'fuzz' control. There have been several tremolos using this principle in amps, too. The only real difference here is the use of a plastic 'light pipe' as a support; light-controlled sound and sound-controlled light are not new at all.

.. and maybe consider getting your little girl's hearing checked..?

A stereo chorus will, alone, require two channels. If you then wish to use an A/B switch to keep that sound going, and play 'lead', another channel still will be required. The A/B switch will have to be stereo, too. All is possible, but it may be useful to draw up a synopsis of your proposed signal chain so that the exact components can be recommended. It would be a shame to have a surprise after acquisition of unsuitable equipment, and the permutations are many. Just sayin'.
