Thanks. @Woodinblack! I have no experience with Kickstarter myself, but my daughter was part of a campaign that worked very well if a few weeks late. It will be interesting to see how this works and works out. (Proud dad bit: she's autistic but still solved a problem with, and designed the double/triple bonds for, some molecular models called Snatoms.) Thanks for the correct link! How did you do that? I tried the exact same link twice, and both times it just gave the vid. That's why I removed the "h" from "https" so people could add it and make a working link out of it.

I opened a thread in the right place (Other Instruments), but since there are so few hours left of the Kickstarter project, I deemed it OK to link to that thread here in General Discussion:

This might be innersting to some. I just found a fun Kickstarter project: Modal's second CRAFT synth is seeing the light of day, and this time it's a monophonic wavetable synth with morphable waveforms and other goodies. Basically, at £119 for EU citizens (incl. VAT and probably before postage), it seems like a crafty little thing, and personally I've just backed it without knowing - or being interested in - all the details. It sounds well, will also operate on batteries, and I feel I will have fun with it one way or another. Only drawback I can see right now: the Kickstarter thing will close tomorrow. Edit: apparently, the link to the Kickstarter page just gives this vid. I have no idea how to edit that, so here's the link with a missing h: ttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/skulpt/modal-craftsynth-20

Here's mine. Only for Music Man fans... ...or?

You're welcome. It was a pleasure to "Like" pete.young's post! 😁 Seriously though, this was great reading. Please keep us posted.

Hm. I think that Yes should be careful when singing their lyrics from now on.

Things happen, bad things happen, and family crises occur. That's why you just do not start a thread like this one single day after the incident, possibly damaging their reputation in the process. I'm not proposing to never react, but one single day? That, and/or your style could have been considerably less aggressive and accusing. Total waste of our time, IMHO.

Roughly speaking, indeed both cabs maximally "get" half of the amp's rating because the outputs on the amp are in parallel and connected to one single output stage. Normally you should be in the clear provided that you don't turn up the amp so much it starts clipping - depending on amp design. It has been said that more cabs have been ruined by "too small" amps than by "too big" amps. What complicates this slightly is that the rough impedance does not state anything about the different resistance measurements at different frequencies. Since the cabs are different, they will also have different resistance curves, and their being connected in parallel means that one cab's response to the signal does have an effect on the other one. This is one of the rare instances in playing music where listening is your friend. 😉 There's another aspect I know is important, but whilst writing the above I forgot what it was. Will edit if my brain starts working again.

Dunno about this exact xmas dribble awful pure torture song, but by large I do love her output including this recentish theatre release. An album that sometimes seems a bit overlooked is "The Dreaming", and I think it's wonderful, much like "Hounds of Love" is. IMHO of course.

Wow! That marketing text is a Corker. I mean it's exceptional and remarkable.

I forgot the details, but it now appears the psychology and social psychology of it all in fact means that reason and facts against their notions actually strengthen their conviction, just as documented earlier as regards to other well-known groups of people with delusions.

Watching a programme about Christmas cooking right now. Suddenly remembered that my punk band Nigella's Ahrse also got little momentum from its website. I blame Google.

Welkom, jochie! Geniet er maar van! Welcome, jochie! Enjoy it more from! Ja, hoor. Hier is 'tie: Yes, hear. Here is 'tie: 😉

Basically what Teebs says. Your basses are OK, as is your amplification. If you need to spend some money besides practising to become a better human. then I'd personally first get a multi effect of sorts, which can be very inspiring. Me, I'd just find a Boss or Zoom of some description, like a used Zoom B9.1ut, which I think is a wonderful machine but which probably has been surpassed by their newer offerings that are much cheaper. I'd keep the basses at any rate, as 600 quid doesn't get you into new ball parks (they're that good), and IF you really need to exchange the loud noise bits, then I'd look at getting a different brand than Ashdown (though I've loved my own Ashdowns), and go for separates, with one or two 112s - - not that I think it's really necessary but because it might inspire you to move into new territories.

I do seriously believe that 95% of flat earthers are scientifically inclined, and do this just for the fun of it and as some type of experiment. The last 5% OTOH, are deeply worrying, as are the nutcases people who studied "one and a half year - - on the Internet" (literally), and conclude that Earth is at the centre of the entire Universe - - of course without being able to provide the maths that prove the notion that the Sun orbits around the Earth.

DON'T!!! JUST DON'T!!! DO NOT EXPLAIN THE JOKE!!! 😂

Weird thing is our band's totally unique and google-friendly name Quaars-Liebrechts doesn't come up in searches. Weird. Very weird... 😉

Aye. A pet peeve of mine ever since I worked hard trying to find promising rock band Pope, and before I'd found them online they'd changed their name to that of a Doors album title (don't remember which one right now). Start searching for "pope" or Doors album titles! I shake my head in disbelief.

Woke Up This Monday!

Pray explain that emoji to someone with bad eyesight. Do I recognise a huge black gaping hole?

Thanks! Great mod matrix! 🙂 I had to buy it myself. A-Barb steward had set a 50 quid limit for Secret Santa (and don't forget to enlist, folks), and as this was £59.99, nobody on BC was gonna give it to me.

Sounds great! You should film it and post it on here!

Nothing much. I'm the modest type. I just hope someone who loves me enough buys me an Arturia Matrixbrute synthesizer wait what's the beautiful, knobby thing standing just behind me with its fantastic modulation matrix? 😉

Thanks! Couldn't report back earlier, but my black metal band Morhn Tormentum now start together, stop together, and... ...wait for it... ...smile together! Success! 😉

Sounds much like me when I was called to do a blues gig. I'd only played Penderecki, Stockhausen and Xenakis for decades, and suddenly have to play a 12-bar blues? Totally out of my depths. We'd always just done whatever the eff we liked. Couldn't even count to 12 !
