Wouldn't "experimenter and designer" be a better title? The electric bass had already been invented, he designed a specific electric bass for easy mass production.

There's new mixing software available for the X-Airs. It's only phase 1 at the moment and looks rather clunky. Don't seem to be able to edit layers but OTOH it's dead easy to skip between mix views for main outs and each of the Aux outs, which is nice. https://www.behringer.com/downloads.html and it's MX-MIX.

And Idris Elba's character Luthier.

Good job it's got four strings and I haven't got £20k down the back of the settee.

I used to cover that by playing classical style, root-5-octave with a picking pattern of m-i-p repeated (ie octave-5-root) so the accent was constantly moving as it was on every fourth note, and pausing in the same places as the guitar does.

I think the processor is a couple of generations on, although the specs look the same and I can't find the reference to it that I had seen before. All Zoom refer to is an improved analogue circuit. If Zoom come up with an editor for the PC and/or Android, I'll be interested.

Don't get a TE combo if you are not a contender for Britain's Strongest Man.

Just had a look in my local Lidl and no sign of them.

Ta. I've got a Zoom H2 which I want to try out as a proof of concept before splashing out.

Even better

Zoom's response when I asked them about including the MS-+ series in Windows Guitar Lab or an Android version of Handy Guitar Lab was to pass the suggestion on to Zoom HQ, where it was presumably ignored. I got a similar result when I asked about Android support for the now defunct MS-100BT (maybe if they had also supported Android, it wouldn't have died the death). I've also asked on Tonelib about support for later pedals and there's been absolutely no response. I appreciate that it's free software and they have other software which is revenue-generating so they won't have it as a priority, but some acknowledgement would be nice.

Both guitarists have two, occasionally three. One is tuned a semitone down (the other guitarist uses a pitch shifter or a Variax for that one song). Guitarist/vocalist regularly breaks a string on his Les Paul and if he's only got the downtuned guitar with him, the other guitarist lends him one.

Might be worth looking at a Faital driver like the 10FE200, 10FE300, 10FE400.

On the tour with Van Halen as support, I went to see them at the Birmingham New Street Odeon. My friend had told me that the support band were brilliant but couldn't remember their name. The support band were absolutely dreadful - a band called Tanzder Youth. Sadly, I'd missed the gig where they'd had Van Halen supporting. Sabbath were fine.

One thing I forgot to mention - my Tecamp Puma 900.

Definitely 7 strings - look at them where they pass over the soundhole. The somewhat ambiguous blob at the right hand end of the bridge is simply an ambiguous blob.

Basses: My first Warwick, a JD Thumb, which I've had since 1988. I don't really use it since moving to 5-strings but I wouldn't sell it. My first Antoniotsai bass, the first 5-string I've had that felt as good to me as the Warwick My first and second Sei headless basses, an Original fretless and Flamboyant fretted, which are also lovely to play Other: Eko Ranger VI which I bought in the 1980s - my noodling around at home guitar Zoom MS-60B which is my swiss army knife pedal

You can get it from the same place as this (which is a little too big for my garden):

Seven string acoustic guitar, for when your death metal band wants to do an unplugged session.

I have a vague memory of this happening or almost happening at a pub-cum-microbrewery in the Black Country that the ceilidh band used to rehearse in. The licence application had assorted tick boxes for the amount of entertainers to be allowed - it didn't make any difference to the cost of the licence, I'm not sure what else it might have affected.

A few weeks ago, a Dean 10-string with very little hardware turned up. Now there's a complete one - low start price but I can't help thinking that with it collection only from Ashford in Kent, that price might not advance that far. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176774089864

Indeed, he's hit the ignore list here.

I still remember pressing the wrong track select button on my Tascam 144 and wiping out the first 30 seconds of the drum track. No Ctrl-Z with tape.

We're just starting rehearsing Won't Get Fooled Again at my instigation. Want to get a bit closer to the Entwistle original than I currently am.

Thankfully SCSI and RS232 disappeared before all the chickens and goats in the world had been sacrificed. People today just don't know they're born.
