also parralel can be ace... like blending a clean signal with your fuzz tone, except the clean signal is a little bit dirty

try it both ways. I always thought I'd want fuzz before overdrive, using the overdrive like an amp-pre, and the fuzz liek a fuzz pedal infront of it. However, with my current pedals this combo is horrible and I have them the other way around

I can't think of any reason a mains supply would reduce the current your PSU can supply. It would cut out all together if it was overloaded as Howie said. I would say either way you want a better PSU which can handle your whole pedalboard

yeh, like I said, the customer should be told in reasonable time. 24 hours in my opinion

I don't think there's anything wrong with advertising products you don't have in stock. However, it should be made clear to you within a reasonable time from ordering

If my pickups are microphonic is this all I need to do? I thought I'd have to mess about with the winding?

I have some sort of repetitive strain which the doctor has told me can't be treated. I can play the drums fine, and use a computer all day long. The only effects of this are some tingling in my hand and tension in my wrist. If I play bass for more than 30 minutes I end up with serious tension and pain in my hand and wrist. So, I play drums in 3 bands but bass in none

[quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1406125988' post='2508568'] Businesses can afford to not insure stuff. When you're sending out thousands of parcels daily, the saving you make by not paying insurance premiums easily covers the few that might have required insurance. [/quote] In my experience businesses will have their own insurance to cover these things, rather than rely on the carrier who's insurance is always rubbish

Sorry, I should have updated the thread but I thought it was long dead! I bought a MOTU 24 i/o in the end and it's working great. Now I just need to get my 24 channel desk up and running!

Impressive!

If there's no producer, then as the bass player, this is your job. You've already proved that as you're worried about leaving space in the mix. Becoming the producer by stealth should be one of your natural talents, it's part of the bassist mentality.

your stand-in drummer had never set up a kit before?!

yep, flat might work on one amp but not another

hmmm, very interesting. I feel like I can't contribute because I mainly drum these days. Maybe the best drummers are the ones who can play bass? Regarding the weird intricacies of timing and tempo that are "groove" - I'm usually fine but sometimes just have off days. It'll be in time but just doesn't feel right. Obviously there are some drummers who never have an off day but I would guess they are rare, so it's probably not fair to judge them based on one performance. The best drummer I know can play on any size kit and make it sound incredible. He takes a tiny kit out for most gigs, but records with a huge kit. I don't mind either way!

how much does that weigh?

I googled "usb media player" and this was at the top, looks like it'll do the job [url="http://www.prepaymania.co.uk/mobilephone/sumvision-cyclone-media-player-micro-hdmi-upscaling.html?googad&gclid=COSp0LKVmr8CFYjjwgod2SYAtQ"]http://www.prepaymania.co.uk/mobilephone/sumvision-cyclone-media-player-micro-hdmi-upscaling.html?googad&gclid=COSp0LKVmr8CFYjjwgod2SYAtQ[/url]

If the sound system is separate to the TV there might be additional inputs on it? My TV has a USB port which I use for this. I guess you bought yours just before this became standard

what is that weird thing with sliders? Not seen one before

With my folk band It's hats, ride, two crashes, but with my other bands I use loads of cymbals, it's fun!! I have two creations - two stacked broken splashes which I call the "splash hat" and then a broken crash and broken china stack call the "twat hat" The splash hat is ace for off-beat clap sounds for my reggae/hip-hoppish band

[quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1403788420' post='2486392'] ... I knew a drummer previously who would set his cymbal stands before going onto the stage so it took us 10 minutes to get on and 10 to get off [/quote] I like to do this but some techies seem to have a big problem with it. One gig I did recently they asked WTF I was doing as there were house-stands available. I explained I was trying to save them time and effort but they just seemed really pissed off

It seems to me some of these limiters are positioned pretty badly. I wonder who calibrates it, and how far it is placed from the stage etc. 98db at the back of a big room would be OK in that you could hold a conversation above it. 98 db right next to the band would be ridiculous. The response of the room should be considered too. There might be some weird acoustics going on where one corner is more responsive to snare drums for example. If the mic is put there it'd trip very easily, despite it having no relation to the actual RMS level outside the building, or wherever the complaints come from. Are there some regulations about them?

Same for me for all three bands! I just wish all the other guys felt the same
