So what? That says to me there is a both a demand and a product for it. And again - if someone wants to pay money to go an see David Coverdale sing these days then who am I to demand he quit? He's been a much reduced force for quite a while, and yet here are still literally thousands happy to pay money to see him. Just let people enjoy what they want to enjoy - both performer and audience.

Bands should only quit when they want to do so. The idea that anyone else should get a say is laughable. It really does fall into the "I don't like it so nobody else is allowed to either" category. Maybe a big band will end up only playing to 30 people in the Dog n Duck on a Tuesday, paid in pints and crisps... but so what? Don't buy a ticket if you don't want to see it. When Iron Maiden are on a break, Harris goes out to play tiny clubs and pubs with 'British Lion' because he lives to play. He'll still be doing that when IM finishes. Maybe they'll be so few people wanting to watch that he'll have to pick between crisps OR a pint for pay. It's just as much of a passion for those at the top as it is for us dreamers, and I would never contemplate demanding that anyone abandon a passion that hurts nobody.

I do my job for the money, and at the moment I'm doing it well enough to get paid. Those bands are doing it well enough to get paid as demonstrated by the ticket sales. There's no real difference.

Depends on the phrase being played. Each finger sounds very slightly different and of course has a different strength. 4 fingers for really fast passages, 1 finger for slow, everything else inbetween. 3 fingers is excellent for triplets.

Get someone else. TAB is not remotely popular in proper reading scenarios. And proper notation is not “classical” it is just the common language of music. Don’t discount approaching Double bass teachers. You already know how to play, you are looking for specific skills and sometimes someone who plays a slightly different instrument is the right choice. I got some of my best reading lessons from a piano teacher.

Dual dynamic what?

The head helix dude is a member on the fretboard - I'll try and get him to spill!

I sold one a few years ago that I ran for ages. It was still going strong.

Different email address, another 7 day trial.

If you can find a One10T then you get the adjustable tweeter as well. I never used to use tweeters at all, but since I got one I've left it on at about halfway. It just seems add a little complexity to the sound, and not just treble.

The EBS is one of the few that I have never tried. Now I have GAS. Damn you all.

Yes. I have no idea about the TV Licence legalities for only streaming though.

It's a shame they didn't go all the way and make a competitor for the Waza-Air.

Before. For some of the sounds it needs to track the peaks and troughs of the input signal and a compressor would reduce them.

Yeah.... about that.... Err..... I hope you take soul crushing, world ending disappointment with a smile.

Different tone really. Not better or worse.

Another vote for a used Barefaced. The Super Compact is excellent, but don't be blinded by the 1x12 requirement. The BF One10 (1x10) performance exceeds pretty much everybody else's 1x12 by some margin, and you could get a used one for £250-£275 if you are patient. You might even find a pair for about £500 if you are lucky. Then you've got a really flexible modular rig. The One10s only weigh about 7kg. One 10 – Barefaced Audio https://barefacedaudio.com/collections/10cr-bass-cabs/products/one_10 That's their old website that they've left up.

I'm amazing. If you want a great slap solo in in the middle of a Leonard Cohen tune, performed with an avant garde approach to so called traditional time keeping, then I'm the best!

That's a very good point. The BDDI / Paradriver etc is a single effect and is £300 these days.

£1900 UK price. Not a chance.

I think it's a great idea. I only ever take a Nano+ board and all but 1 space is permanently spoken for (tuner, compressor, drive, octave, HPF underneath). The last space gets swapped around to whatever I need for the gig, but that can lead to compromises. Filter / another drive / phaser / synth etc. The HX One would let me keep the board as it is all the time and not have any compromises either. I think the price is reasonable too. I don't mean cheap, but the humble Ibby TS9 now costs £120 with zero R&D need, a TS808 is £170! It's still a lot of money but that doesn't mean unreasonable.

My current favourite is the Source Audio Spectrum. It does everything. It sounds great.

that's right up my street! Thank you.

I love some repetitive stuff. I find it mesmerising and creates different emotions to more complex music, which I also love. I can easily start playing, eg, 'Good Times' and then find out hours have passed, lost in that trance. It's like my happy place (Ye gods I sound like a hippy! )

GuitarGuitar have them on preoder for £249. It's a lot of money, but I don't think it's expensive compared to other things anymore. There's 100% analogue drive pedals for £400+ these days. World has gone mad / whatever boomer / etc
