Annoyed I couldn't make it as I had to do some work which was supposed to have been done last weekend, and decided as it was rather important that it was safer to do it from home than from the bash. I miss cake.

Don't forget Leonard Nimoy too, "Bilbo Baggins" had a similar fascination, aided by the video.

Where does Doctor Who stand then, travelling through time and space in a TARDIS?

T'Pau and Mr. Mister. Both had quite short lives, I liked them both.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1493033087' post='3284941'] Bands that didn't last? All the John Mayall bands, Cream, The Jeff Beck Group and Fleetwood Mac. IMO these bands were redefining musicianship and didn't last long nearly long enough. [/quote] ITYF that Fleetwood Mac are still going.

Can I mention Greg Lake?

Looks like I'll have to do some work on Saturday afternoon. Is there wifi freely available there? Don't want to miss out on cake.

I can't believe that brilliant artists like Meatloaf and Bowie are being lumped in here, while no-one has mentioned Grandma by the St Winifred's School Choir. Shame on you all. Oh, and Agadoo is the best anti-earworm song ever written - if you get earwormed, just think of that. There is no room for any other earworm once that gets hold.

My Warwick JD Thumb. It's a four-string and I just play 5s these days, but there's no way I'm getting rid of it.

My own experience - I currently work slightly odd split day, 7-10 at home, then go to the office for 10:30, then leave at 4. This means that the postie almost always gets to me before I leave for work. They've never not knocked and just carded - if I get a card, it's when I've gone out before they come round (because the card isn't there before I leave the house). I get quite a few deliveries too, so I have a reasonable sample size. Obviously, though, these things aren't consistent - after all, some people find Herpes and Yokel to be good couriers.

There should be a "Like" button.

I used them to mount my Zoom B3 (and a Korg B3000X or whatever it was) into Stagg pedal cases.

I'll try and remember to find out who it was.

Presumably you'll have an idea about which effects you'll want from using the multieffects. Isn't it more a case of wanting suggestions for each of the effects you're currently using?

[quote name='Ashweb' timestamp='1493158450' post='3286205'] AFAIK, if you move into an area where there is an existing 'noise issue' you have no real basis of complaint as the noise was already there; if however a 'noise issue' is introduced to an otherwise peaceful area then any complaint will be investigated and either removed or mitigated to all parties satisfaction. [/quote] My understanding is that everybody has the right to peace and quiet, regardless of whether they've moved in next door to somewhere noisy or not.

[quote name='Opticaleye' timestamp='1492444133' post='3280280'] The lack of a DI and USB recording interface don't worry me too much as I have alternatives but some will be disappointed. I am keenly awaiting the next update but I am concerned that March's updates were only for the Zoom's guitar pedals. [/quote] Weren't they usable with the B3n as well? There were several highlighted so I loaded them on, or at least I think I did (as I didn't notice they were under the Gxn category).

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1492551165' post='3281220'] Ok the B3n is twice the price of the MS-60B but I think it is going to be worth every penny of the extra cost and I know that I am going to be using it for live performance a LOT more than I ever did the MS-60B. [/quote] The MS-60B is inherently limited by the form factor - I used to have a chorus and amp sim permanently on, and switch in one or the other of another couple of effects - scrolling one effect left or right between songs isn't hard, doing anything more complicated than that is a PITA. One trick they've definitely missed is the ability to edit patches on the PC. Edit&Share for the B3 is great. Guitar Lab is far more restricted.

Ah, got it. Silly me, thinking the battery door was at the end...

Just bought one second-hand and it may sound stupid but I can't work out how to open the battery compartment. Have tried various combinations of pulling, pushing, sliding, etc but with no luck. Sadly, the user's manual doesn't go into that much detail. Could someone give me guidance?

It's sitting here ready for me to actually use it to play through but I haven't got round to it yet. Sizewise, it's a centimetre or two deeper than the B3. Looks like I can't embed an image from Dropbox any more. Photobucket works though.

Since you been gone by Rainbow. It just gives a feeling of being absolutely meticulously planned.

Probably the very first one the link leads to (at least for me), about Rob Trujillo's 12 year old son playing bass for Korn on a forthcoming tour.

I like it. The two covers bands before the current one were one-guitar four-pieces. Both bands were quite ambitious, with songs like "Hotel California", "Comfortably Numb" and "Go your own way". Drummers also make quite a difference - one band's last change of drummer before we folded (not because of the drummer) was to one who was more accustomed to two guitars, and he took a little while to start changing his playing to thicken out the sound where it needed it.

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1491484299' post='3273410'] i keep a bass in my car in the hope that one day, I will get some child free practice time in my-ever-shorter lunch break. It rarely happens, but today it did and I looked up the bass tab for a song I listened to on the way in to work this morning. It looked wrong and it truly was once I tried it. It was woeful. Bu tthen I figured it out, and I can count on the fingers on hand the number of times I have done this successfully, but today I did it. I'm toying wih the idea of uploading my correct-er version. [/quote] I tried doing that once. The song was "Killer" by Seal - not a complex bassline but there were a couple of tabs up on Ultimate-guitar which were woefully wrong (I was being idle, hence trying to use them). I worked out what it should be and posted version 3, which wasn't accepted because tabs already existed for it (but they were wrong) and because it was so simple that it didn't need a tab (but there were already two versions of it up). I decided that whoever sat in judgement were morons with no musical or logical ability whatsoever and vowed never to bother again. And I haven't.

Which mods can I delete?

Encountered it yesterday - Windows 10, Avira free anti-virus, Chrome 64-bit, Adblocker+. Malwarebytes shows nothing, just running SUPERAntiSpyware now.
