If they ever do a padded, non leather, 4"er then I'm in!

I could but I'm in bed now! There is the occasional F# and the occasional Bb and mixing them seemed odd to me.

These are the best I've ever used. Harley Benton do their own version for those who want to save a quid. The idea of replacing 50 odd pairs of strap buttons doesn't appeal to me. I have used the expensive clunky things other folk like, but never again.

Reading a transcription in key of C. It employs both flat and sharp symbols. I was under the impression one ought not to mix these and I can make sense of the why and how in all other keys but not C. Is there a rule?

Good point. I'm not really in the category though. Since becoming persona non grata in my marriage I have been polluting my mother's house under the guise of supporting her in her dotage. Any little bit I earn I spend on gear. One day coming I will list it all in a massive fire sale and strike out as a hobo.

Ha ha, I'm not sure the honourable marketing department of Mooer Inc sees the orthopaedic benefits to middle aged men as a major sales pitch

In case you think I'm being a bit po faced in response to Jack's good natured humour, please allow me to expand. I recently nearly broke my neck and an expensive instrument slipping over on a cable. They provide wonderful trip hazards and as such their elimination is one less disaster waiting to happen. I'm still in considerable pain nearly a month later. Petrol being £1523.50 a half litre, any reduction in the weight my car carries saves me serious cash. Also saves my back. Mains powered, pricey effects boards at the front of the stage (pub floor) are vulnerable to punter's/singer's feet and beer. The amount of things that can go wrong on a conventional board with multiple patch cables and power cables and pedals is huge. I don't need to bend over to tweak effects if they're on my phone, clamped to my stand. Saves my ancient back and doesn't strain my crappy eyesight. Anyway all this is moot until I get it - it might be a piece of S H one tea, we'll see.

It's funny, because I actually saw it as a way of cutting out a number of things that could go wrong 🤷‍♂️

I've ordered mine with the wireless pedal they produce for it. I'll let you know.

I don't know. Can't remember where I bought it so I can't look it up I'm afraid

I would keep the second knobs (from the left) at 12 o clock. Then pick a sound to play with with the far right knob (the Farage as I call it). Now work through the Variations knob until you find something you might be able to work with. Then start playing with the tone / rate controls to explore all the possibilities of that sound (also mixing it with your clean tone).

I can use a wired connection. I'm just curious as to what is going on. The neighbours are a possibility but with the old receiver I never had a problem.

Hi, part of my silent practice rig is a simple Bluetooth receiver. I plug this into a headphone amp to send backing tracks from my phone wirelessly. I've had these before and until I put the last one through a hot wash it worked perfectly. This one however says 'connected' the moment it's turned on even though it isn't. Aha! I thought - it's connecting to something else, but the only other device in the room is a tablet, and the Bluetooth is turned off on that. The only way I can connect is by unpairing and pairing the phone and the receiver each time. This isn't particularly galling, but I wonder what's happening and whether there's anything I can do. Android phone, generic cheap Bluetooth receiver. Any ideas?

Hi Sly, it was discussed here, I'm sure someone said they had one

Yep. Gigged mine to great effect. Wonderful piece of kit. Never tried a gnome though

That film Talking Heads made. Stop Making Sense. That as a real gig with me playing those amazing songs and running on the spot with the whole band and me not needing oxygen to do it. Well, this is a fantasy right?

I know what you mean. I break things by looking at them. But charging it could be done at home, carefully, maybe?

Yes his was one of the videos that got me interested.

Mine arrived. It's filthy.

I'm already changing it 😂

I have a problem. I admit it. I want to sell some, I really do. I just can't

Afternoon Bandeoke in Trowbridge. Three more bookings out of it.
