Waiting in the sky?

That's all fine and dandy until somebody loses an eye.

That's a shame. I was still on it - it had rather petered out though. A few years a go it was thriving. Went for a drink with Steve a little while back when I was holidaying in Cornwall - nice chap. I was too new to Basschat to know about the fight that caused Finnbass to come into being, there were occasional references to it but I never found the full details.

Line 6:

Led Zep have had a few claims against them, although they seem to have got away with some of their thefts. https://liveforlivemusic.com/features/just-how-much-of-led-zeppelins-music-was-stolen/ They did nick rather more than a three word phrase though.

We should take a helicopter view of the synergy before deep diving it and seeing if we can leverage it. And just an 8-ounce, medium, please.

Read the article that the OP refers to. https://mixmag.net/amp/spotify-daniel-ek-ai-defence-investment-criticism That might make you understand a little more. The thread title is misleading.

No it doesn't. That's an incredibly simplistic viewpoint to take. AI has plenty of applications, including defending against software attacks and performing software attacks in turn. The principal drivers for technology advances are military and pornography.

It appears that the first known use was in the song written by the ones doing the suing. However, after its first use, I'm sure there would have been quite a few uses before Taylor Swift used it.

I use a dirt cheap one for rehearsals and some gigs, and I've got a Smoothhound on the little pedal board and a Line 6 G50 on the big one. All seem fine as regards sound. The dirt cheap one is handy as it's USB rechargeable so doesn't need a 9V supply.

I'm not quite sure that everybody replying to this has quite grasped it - Ms Swift is the suee, not the suer (sewer?).

If he's been playing by feel and it doesn't lead him to start and stop doing things in the right place, his feel is wrong. Changing song structure by repeating verses or choruses, or occasionally varying the number of well-defined phrases (eg. "Bad moon rising" - number of "there's a bad moon on the rise") is one thing, completely screwing up the length of a defined part of the structure is another.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-59606655 Taylor Swift is going to be sued for copyright infringement because she used the words "haters gonna hate" in a song. Just how bloody stupid is that? It'll have songwriters from many years back trying to work out if they were the first to put "I love you" in a song and seeing how many other songwriters they can sue as a result. And Jon Anderson will be having a field day, as he's used just about every combination of words possible. Oh well, tossers gonna toss.

André Rieu has sold more records than Yehudi Menuhin and Stéphane Grappelli put together, so he's obviously a better violinist than either of them.

Something which I have resisted saying for 8.5 pages, but will now say, is that you should really have tackled this issue a lot earlier. But, like me saying that, you've put it off an awfully long time. I hope you've managed to strike a diplomatic tone. The next stage is to work your way through the songs properly, and stop them whenever it goes titsup to tell him what's gone wrong. For one thing, if you're doing covers and he's getting the length of the solo wrong, he's not playing the original solo - that might be worth pointing out.

It was a bit odd though, as the singer/guitarist/main man had said I was vastly better than the previous bassist and hadn't said anything about not being busy until I said I wasn't doing the PA any more.

Ditto. That was after the CD we'd recorded got "Album of the year" in Ryan's Gig Guide (a Midlands publication which is a, er, guid to gigs).

You can get 60/40 multicore on That Ebay.

So we've moved from sockets round the back to giving it head?

It worked for the Spice Girls.

Yes - I'm going to have a look in the control cavity with the possibility of putting a preamp in.

It does give potential applicants who might not email a heads-up. The fact that there is still one person who tells the recruiter to look at his facebook wall for his might videos shows that there are still some who can't grasp it. Shame it's in the north-east, might have been tempted otherwise.

But who on earth would want to buy a Fender?

I use Rean as well as full-fat Neutrik. In fact, making up a cable to go from bass to a Line 6 G50 bodypack, I had to use a Rean at the bodypack end, and the switched jacks I've used (without problems) have been Rean too as they're a third the price of the Neutrik ones.

In 1987, when I bought my Warwick JD Thumb, there simply wasn't another bass around that was anywhere near as playable - for me, anyway, these things are subjective. So it wasn't a question of diminishing returns but of being able to get what cheaper basses were completely unable to provide.
