    I changed the cable on the night and it worked fine bar a couple of brief cut outs. I did check the speaker out. Think I'll run them for a week practising and at rehearsal. Maybe the clean up has fixed it

    ps I suspect its important that the dna is 'vintage' and not just any crappy modern dna.

    Watch out, there's a new boy in town. Electro Harmonix advert for a Big Muff reads "EHX has reissued the original 1973 V2 Violet Ram's Head Big Muff Pi and it's dripping with vintage Electro-Harmonix DNA and tone." So I shall rush off to amend my for-sale ads to include the fact that they are replete with the DNA appropriate to thrir manufacturers. Also I am very interested to learn that DNA and tone both 'drip', I had missed this fascinating fact in my admittedly limited study of the science.

    I assume PMs cannot be altered after sending to enable recipients of abuse to retain their proof.

    I wonder if everyone hasn't missed the point. Is it not possible that Andertons knew exactly what they were doing? Might their understanding of their target audience be deeper than we imagined? After all, just look at the response they have achieved here... PS: I'm becoming irritated with my own habit of ending posts with an 'enigmatic' dot dot dot so I'll just add this bit to fix that.

    Interested in a trade for a kidney? Two kidneys?

    Oh God.

    Hmm. So got it home, opened it up and all connections are solid, clean and as they should be. Maybe this should have been posted to repairs and technical, sorry. Took the speaker output from the amp, checked it (visually) cleaned and put it back. All working, but then it was all working fine until half way through the first set. Only other thing I found was a slightly dirty pot which I cleaned. However I would have thought that ought to cause the sound to deteriorate rather than just cut out. What else can I check?

    Good to have a balanced view, no apology needed, your bad experience is just as valid as anyone else's positive one.

    I got a friend a dep gig with one of my bands. Afterwards BL said he was good but way too loud for us. I told him and got him a second go. He played more quietly. Now he's the regular dep. Good drummers can adjust. Team players play for team.

    Ouch! I know we musicians are delicate flowers, quick to rise to any perceived negative notion of our role in a performance, but that sounds like an overreaction. Wonder if discontent has been brewing?

    You know how in some venues you seem to hear the distant strain of Duelling Banjos? My gig was like that.

    looks like the old soldering iron will be out when I get home. Can ceased to make a noise during my first set this evening. Switched to a different input socket worked for a bit then nothing. Luckily have two speak on connections too so swapped cable and so far so good.

    Relatively new to this transcription game so happy to be corrected where stuff is horribly wrong. Alicia Keys: A_Woman's_Worth.pdf Carole King I Feel The earth Move I_Feel_The_Earth_Move.pdf

    So sorry should have marked them gone.

    Only ever had two problems with stuff bought from Thomann, a clip on tuner which arrived broken and more recently a pedal which just suddenly packed up. Today I received a replacement for the pedal, no quibbles, just like the last time, two emails and a replacement was shipped to me. Customer service? Yup, no complaints here.
  17. stewblack
    Finished!

    Yes! The sonic embigulator

    Oh and a fretless to compliment the acoustic bass. And an aby pedal so both can use the same loudifier. Or two louderators to make both loud at the same time

    Feedback for btlk

    stewblack replied to btlk's topic in Feedback

    I traded pedals with Aleksandr and it is a privilege to be able to open his feedback thread. Excellent communication throughout, he bent over backwards to ensure the trade was fair. Reliable, courteous and honest I commend him to the community.

    I too returned to the bass and thence to Basschat recently. I haven't actually been reduced to begging in the street but every available penny I manage to scrape up gets spent here. Good luck not getting the gas..

    Going to seem weird but I enjoy the Louis Bellson torture. Like others enjoy crosswords, I suppose, while to me they seem unnecessary, masochistic and painful. I found a YouTuber who uses the Louis Bellson torture method with notes and metronome and it's great for tapping along on your lap using your phone. Anyway Carole King is done. Just a week to try to force it into Musink (worlds clunkiest software) and I'll share it.

    Thanks @TKenrick I am evolving a system but it's great not to have to reinvent the wheel, so I really appreciate your pointers. I use Audacity to slow songs down, repeat tricky passages etc. Also you can label sections of the track so I am breaking it down into its component parts but I haven't been listing the numbers of bars for each so that's a great tip

    Just wish I could afford to pay someone to teach me. I work so much better to a deadline. Knowing someone is waiting to see if I'd done my homework or not is a great incentive

    I have started learning to read music and it's taking me an awfully long time but I am progressing. I realise that scribbled notes, tab, homemafe e formulas for saving ideas, recordings etc were all attempts to do something better done by writing and reading music. I don't want to relearn a song if I've not played it for yonks. I want to pull up the score and get it down again really fast. Also learning anything is immensely satisfying and rewarding, and anything to do with music doubly so for me.
