  1. In-ear monitors and a bass board.
  2. Yup. 50 were made to celebrate 30 years of collaboration between Yamaha and Nathan East. Nathan has one, not sure where the other 48 are 😉
  3. The Powerline adaptors probably won't help much, wired ethernet straight into the router is best. ThInk you need to experiment a bit. I normally just leave the jitter buffer on auto and stick to the preferred buffer delay. That typically gets me latency of around 25-30 ms for UK servers, 40ms for one in Frankfurt at an audio stream rate of 447 kbps. If anything, 2.67 buffer delay made it sound worse but did up the ASR to 760 kbps!
  4. It would only make sense if the loop is a serial loop. If it's a parallel loop, you're only filtering out half of the annoying low frequencies.

    Boss SYB-5

    Look for a VB-99, if you can find one. Or buy an 80s keyboard. (Why is it so difficult to delete images or videos from an included reply??)
  6. This looks familiar - I think the seller is a member here.
  7. I went to see Blondie in 1978 , when they were supporting Television. What a great gig.
  8. There is a location field in the title of For Sale threads already.
  9. Some more data points for you Fender CIJ Precision PB70US E-A 12.4cm D-G 15.2cm Yamaha BB800 reverse P D-G 12cm E-A 15 cm - with a gap of about 3mm between the two halves
  10. It selects the bass line to play, and lights the LEDs up in the right sequence?
  11. Form a Pogues tribute band, obviously. Well duh!
  12. This one is centre positive: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00YTXUULI/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B00YTXUULI&pd_rd_w=VGobV&pf_rd_p=4c7674c8-9ecc-44d6-badd-dc77c2e64a92&pd_rd_wg=hFkUO&pf_rd_r=XEZTGRC3DPQ379YT5M9W&pd_rd_r=5045a9e2-4a1b-4128-b04a-6d72791eec80&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzMEpIQ1lVMFRPU09VJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzc1ODE0T05HS0pJSklLRlMxJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwMDkxNjYzU0RKSDFVWkU2V0U4JndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
  13. Vinyl wrap would be cheaper. And reversible.
  14. Sorry again, I meant to say "... what I know about Jamulus" . Linux might indeed be a deal-breaker for Jamkazam - there doesn't seem to be an option to download a Linux client. There are a couple of references to it but they all seem to date from a few years ago. Jamulus does have Linux support. There may even be a package, depending on which version you are using. If not, it's pretty straightforward to complie from source. I haven't built a client, but I did build the server code on a Raspberry Pi and it worked OK, just took a little while to compile. B3 should work fine. If your PC has a built-in mike you could use that for voice, but there's a text chat window so it's not crucial provided that you are sighted. One of the people I play with is blind, so he doesn't have a lot of use for text chat. Drop me a PM when you're ready, if you need help.
  15. It wasn't intended. I'm sorry if that's how it came across. If you dont get what you want out of Jamkazam with Warren, please get in touch and I'll happily show you what I know about Jamkazam. It's not a lite version: it's open source, there is no paid-for version and there are no strings attached.
  16. Jamulus is free so the only thing you have to invest in it is your time. Likewise with the demo version of Jamkazam. The minimum requirement page for Jamulus says 1Mb upload and download. Jamkazam is going to depend on the number of people in the session, since it's point-to-point connected , whereas jamulus is hub and spoke to a central server. Latency is much more significant than upload/download speed hence BassAdder27's comment about a wired connection straight to the router. Both systems will give you the ping time and round trip time so you can fairly easily establish whether or not you're in the ball park. There are some tuning tweaks you can try to improve latency, particular with Jamkazam. I'm finding ping roundtrip times of 6 - 10 ms for London, < 20 for most of Europe, which are usable. Much more than that and it gets untenable, so connecting to servers in the US at 30 - 60 ms is not going to work too well.
  17. Jamkazam does sync audio and video but not very well IMHO. It's been having some problems since they went to a paid version. I've had better results using Jamulus for audio, and accepting that Jitsi/Zoom is going to lag behind, or forgetting about video altogether.
  18. Think @51m0n is most likely to have figured this out, I think I remember reading something he wrote about Tape Sat.
  19. Beautiful job Andy. That finish has really brought out the flame in the maple parts of the neck.
  20. Well it should be a very heavy duty chromed bridge with engraving. The ad does say 'with all original parts', there would be no reason to change the bridge, its miles more substantial than a typical BBOT Fender from the same period. You wouldn't get much late '70s Fender for 280 quid, or even Squier JV from a few years later.
  21. I've got one. Excellent bass with the 'P' pickup in reverse orientation. I got mine second hand in 1979. How much is the one on Gumtree? My one is black , but there was also a somewhat less desirable brown colour.
  22. It doesn't have jazz pickups though. It has stacked humbuckers in jazz-shaped cases.
