    [quote name='project_c' timestamp='1496241267' post='3309841'] generally various members (not me) lose their place, get sketchy with their timing and sound messy. And the 15 song set list is only as it is, because it's really hard to convince them to learn anything new to add to the list, especially as that would require more rehearsals. [/quote] I don't think you need more group rehearsals - I think you need fewer! What I mean is: if people are continually getting lost in standards, or can't keep consistent time, they must do some individual practice. It is a waste of time to have a group rehearsal otherwise - particularly for you, if you are the strongest member of the group. They could use tools like iReal Pro (or Band-in-a-Box, Aebersold tapes, etc). Do you guys go to jam sessions (individually)? Playing with unknowns/randoms is a really great way to learn how to truly listen to, react to, and interact with other musicians. What is your set of 15 songs, out of interest?

    [quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1495791109' post='3306583'] Just remembered a strange little place in Soho that some others of this parish must surely have played - anyone else been to Jazz After Dark? [/quote] Yes - I used to play there about 15 years ago. We didn't get paid much, and had to buy our own soft drinks. It was nearly always empty, apart from a few drunks. The ceiling on stage was lower than the height of my double bass... The bouncer was a moron. We would go outside between sets to get some air, informing him on our way out who we were and what we were doing. But nevertheless, upon returning, he would never let us back in!

    I recently found out about 'jockomo81' ([url="http://www.ebay.com/usr/jockomo81"]as he is called on eBay[/url]) via this thread. Purchased some stickers (aged white pearl). They took about five days to arrive from Japan. Thanks.

    [quote name='Steve Woodcock' timestamp='1494520737' post='3296737'] so this is wrong, it infuriates me and seems unique to guitar/bass transcriptions usually accompanied by tab. [/quote] Well... isn't this the same notational error which exists for all transposing instruments? A trumpeter who thinks they are playing "B" is actually playing an A. An alto saxophonist who is playing "their D" is actually playing an F. Etc.

    I play upright and electric in quite a loud band. I've not tried either the Fdeck or Thumpinator, but I just started using the hpf in the Zoom MS-60B ("Ac Bs Pre"), and it seems to tighten up the low end. So perhaps that's another option. One advantage of it being digital is that you can have it remember different presets for your different instruments/bands.

    What is the context of the question? Perhaps intervals are not the best way to communicate what's going on? Given this question: [quote name='timmo' timestamp='1492075547' post='3277647'] If I wanted you to play E , 7th fret and C# 9th fret, how would I express that as in intervals? [/quote] I would say either "go down to C#" or "down to the 6" (I've assumed that the first note played, E, was the root; or, in other words, that your song is in the key of E). I wouldn't use absolute intervals between one note and the next. Instead, I would describe each note using its relation to the root. Let's suppose the third note of your sequence was F#. I would then say "go up to the 2". (F# being the 2nd note of the scale in the key of E.) I wouldn't say "play a perfect fourth above" even though F# is indeed a perfect fourth above C#.

    [quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1491501297' post='3273599'] How do the stereo outputs work? I currently split my signal with an ABY box into a bass amp and guitar amp. Would the zoom do the same job? Will I get the same signal from each output? [/quote] I own this pedal, am not expert, but my understanding is: I think there are only one or two stereo effects, which send different signal to each output. But for the vast majority of effects, the same signal is sent to both outputs. So you can generally use it as a Y box, i.e. to duplicate the same signal to two amps. You can't use it as an AB box, i.e. switch between amp A and amp B one at a time.

    I sold a pedal to Graeme and it was an easy and quick transaction with no issues at all. Thanks.

    I don't have a Nano+, but if it helps, I do have a Nano, which is very slightly under 5.5" deep. Width is 14" so a bit less than the Nano+.

    [quote name='thepurpleblob' timestamp='1490879060' post='3268716'] my happy situation is playing 1 or 2 gigs a month maximum but it's very hard to find people with the same lack of ambition. They either don't want to gig at all or hate their day job and want to play 7 nights a week. [/quote] I share the bass chair in a band which plays 100+ gigs per year, which is way too much for me. I do about 30 of those gigs; the remainder are done by the other guy, or by a dep.

    Sold Dunc a bass. Clear communication throughout, and he is a trustworthy person.

    [quote name='edshred' timestamp='1488487785' post='3249469'] I wonder how many people get away with using the bb2 in larger band settings. I used a fearless f112 in a larger 7 piece funk band and despite it sounding nice it didn't get loud enough. [/quote] It's hard to compare one band to another as there are lots of different factors. However, my situation is upright bass and five-string bass guitar in a large function band. I lose count but I think its fullest line-up is 13: five rhythm, five horns, and three vocals. I have one BB2 (with a Shuttle 9.2, so that's 500W at 8 ohms). It has great tone, and I've not yet run out of volume or felt it was reaching its limits.

    [size=5]Squier Matt Freeman Precision[/size] [size=5]with Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder[/size] For sale: [b][s]£285[/s] [size=5]edit: NOW SOLD[/size][/b] No trades, thanks. These are very good basses, and they no longer manufacture them. In fact, this is the second one I've owned! The pickup is a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder SPB-3. It is the same pickup as the Fender Nate Mendel and Fender Mark Hoppus models. Link: [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/pickup/quarter-pound-p-bass"]http://www.seymourdu...er-pound-p-bass[/url] I don't have the original pickup. Bass is in very good condition. Photos here: [url="https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByytttLU9OSvNGI4cU9FMVpRVTg"]https://drive.google...NGI4cU9FMVpRVTg[/url] In some photos, it might look like there are dings (e.g. back of neck)... they are NOT dings. It is the natural patterns of the wood, underneath the finish. Strings are Fender 9050 flatwounds. Afraid I'm not comfortable sending this unless it is in a hard case -- and unfortunately I don't currently have one. Therefore the options are: - Collection/meet-up if near south-west London; or - You can send me a hard case if you already have one (I will cover return postage); or - I can buy a new hard case of your choice if you pay for it (I will cover postage). The cheapest hard case I can find is £40: [url="http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Electric-Bass-Guitar-Case-by-Gear4music/800"]http://www.gear4musi...-Gear4music/800[/url]
