[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1478461211' post='3169198'] If it is a waste of time, it is a waste of time... [/quote] Just as well the members of previous bands did not have this same outlook, though. How will 'lesser' players ever improve if they're not given the opportunity, at least, of contact with more experienced folks..? It doesn't always work, I'll grant, but in many cases an experienced player can 'up the game' of his/her colleagues. Every situation is different, of course.

[quote name='JimBobTTD' timestamp='1478457865' post='3169164']... What do the good people of this parish think?... [/quote] Keep your eyes peeled for another adventure; meanwhile hone your teaching skills on your current band-mates..? You've learned a lot from playing with 'better' players; maybe you can help them in turn a little..? If another opportunity presents itself there'll be time enough to decide how to play that choice. Either way: enjoy..!

Mmm..! Pigeon..!

[quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1478370540' post='3168727'] I've got a Behringer octave pedal that works fine. PM me your address and you can have it for free if you want it. [/quote]

[quote name='Chewie' timestamp='1478369037' post='3168709']... How does one make ones pictures bigger... [/quote] The good photos are those hosted on an external site such as Flickr or Imgur. A simple 'Copy - Paste' of their BBCode into one's post will show a full-sized photo, and will take up none of one's quota on the Forum's server..! Recommended. [quote name='Chewie' timestamp='1478369037' post='3168709']...how does one add a list of ones gear to ones profile?... [/quote] Go to 'My Profile' from the menu evoked by selecting your Pseudo, Top Right... Click the 'Edit my Profile' button (Upper Right...)... Select 'Signature' from the List column on the Left... Edit the Signature; 'Save Changes' when finished. Hope this helps.

[quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1478281844' post='3168208'] It's a bloke with dirty hands doing terrible things to a bird... In a tank. [/quote] You've been listening to my track again, haven't you..!

I, too am looking to change, but from Imgur. They're free, all right, but incapable of fixing my album problems. I'll see if Google Photo fits my bill. First world, eh..? Who'd have it..?

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1478265487' post='3168016'] I can't see an image on my I pad [/quote] It's disappeared for now; I don't know why (but it's surely Skol's fault..!). Here it is, until it comes back in its rightful place...

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1478196568' post='3167499'] Hoping you guys can help me with this one. ... [/quote] An obvious thing to check, and I suppose you already have, but, just in case (or for others...)... An easy check. What happens if you only connect one of the speakers..? Is the bass present with [i]one[/i], but lost with [i]two[/i]..? That's the sign of speakers being out of phase. The cure is to invert the connection wires of one (and [i]only [/i]one..!) of the speakers. Apologies if this seems too obvious; hope this helps.

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1478189098' post='3167420'] ace lyrics!... [/quote] I compose and mix on headphones only, these days; the fx are not really panned, but rather applied differently left to right. I'll listen again to see what I can do (but no guarantee, deaf as I am..! ). Thanks for listening and commenting; it's appreciated.

Similarly, one may read a pertinent, appreciative, innocent post on any topic, and come across a sh*t post from another member which adds little to the sum of human knowledge. Funny places, forums; apparently frequented by some pretty bored folks.

Here we go (but it's not 'funk' at all...)... [url="https://soundcloud.com/dad3353/bye-bye-birdie"]Bye Bye, Birdie ...[/url] Enjoy ([i]et bon appétit[/i]...).

Stop relying on others; they'll only let you down..! Take a screen shot and post [i]that[/i]..!

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1478077066' post='3166487'] Do you make these words up?! [/quote] From the '30s, so called after a cartoon character, timid or submissive.

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1478075192' post='3166470'] Something about a "military coo"?? [/quote] Almost; more akin to 'hand-wringing', though.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1478037683' post='3166334'] PRS is the UK's official body for collecting writer's copyright royalties... [/quote] The slight difference is that PRS has an entrance fee of £100, whereas Sentric don't; they pay themselves by taking 20%. Which is the better deal..? A coin-toss, really. As a guide, the SACEM (the French equivalent...) have an entry fee of 127€, paid back if you leave. If it's to be a career choice, I'd say PRS every time.

Our youngest (already a cynical beast, at his tender age..!) has whispered an interpretation in my ear which is now difficult to shift. Hmm. This may imply lyrics..! You have been warned; all is not as it seems.

[quote name='funkgod' timestamp='1478032685' post='3166260']... what about the next stage royalties and the collection of, is 20% good for this ? [/quote] What does the MU have to say on the subject..?

A Good Post, and a solemn (well, not as solemn as all that...) reminder that there was Life before d&b monitors, or IEM's, that one does not systematically need ear protection if the drummer's good, and that 1kw for a bass amp is not the only way to be heard. No pedal boards, either, no DI, no ... well, no anything, really. Just good old-school talent and honed quality. A Good Post; thanks for sharing.

[quote name='funkgod' timestamp='1478031023' post='3166233']... Thanks for any help here... [/quote] This many be a reasonable starting point, maybe..? [url="http://www.musiciansunion.org.uk/Home/Advice/Your-Career/Legal/Copyright-and-Performers-Rights-FAQs"]Musician's Union: Copyright and other FAQ's ...[/url] I don't think you'd have to pay a percentage to any organisation for dealing with this (one doesn't in France, at least; the UK may be [s]behind the times[/s] different in this...).
