SICbass

A wife 2 kids and a ton of luggage.

I set myself up for that, didn't I? 😂 It would be churlish to turn down such an opportunity. Those prices are good, but if I buy, then probably a Harley Benton from Thomann, starting at 109 quid. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Thanks, but it's just a stop gap while I'm here and, lovely as they are, a little out of my price range.

Hiya, I did consider that. It just feels a bit... mean of me? I think I might just go ahead and buy one to leave with one of my siblings that I can use on future visits. Or maybe resell at a small loss.

Shameless, self-interest type bump.

Sorry, I expressed myself poorly there. I meant the sweeps going along conveyor belts or through passages that wouldn't have been possible on a dolly. The cuts are, as you say, quite short and choppy.

How very helpful. Nice one Dad.

Would those long, continuous shots have been filmed using a mini-drone?

Greetings BCers, I need to ask a favour. Could anyone possibly lend me a bass, so I can get the odd bit of practice in, in-between? Ideally a 5-string, but I would simply be glad of any help. I'm originally a Wallasey lad, but now live in Berlin. I am visiting the family in Wallasey from July 28th - August 10th. Immediately after my return to Berlin, I am doing my first show covering for a colleague - easy stuff but a ton of fiddly transitions and modulations. I am prepping now, but a 2-week hiatus directly before jumping in without a rehearsal is… suboptimal. Thanks for any help, Paul

Look on the bright side. Your legs are so good you can actually hear it!

Oooh, all the markings of a deftly dodged bullet there matey!

ABBA tribute gig in Antwerp last night. Big theatre, only half full but the crowd were in a good mood.

Wonders will never cease.

I love the ad 👍

Looking at that image brought to mind a dartboard, which in turn brought to mind my process of note choice.

What? And spoil all our pun fun?

👏👏👏

There be giants up there at the dusty end of the neck!

Hi @steve-bbb , I have a question regarding power. The Apogee Jam is powered from the iPhone which can cause it to drain relatively quickly. I looked for a double lightning splitter for my phone (so I could be on the charger and the Jam simultaneously) but the phone said “This function is not supported”. I see a power input on the iRig Pro - does that mean it wouldn’t have the power issue?

That sounds interesting. Thanks, I’ll give it a look.

That’s the spirit! Now you’ve popped your cherry, so to speak, it’ll just get easier and easier 😊👍

Thanks for the suggestion but AmpliTube ticks all my boxes and is FREEEE!

Thanks for your help and suggestions guys. Particularly @fretmeister, AmpliTube does exactly what I wanted 👍 and is already in my pocket 😀. FYI, there's a thing in settings where you can switch on background audio i.e. you can play stuff directly from AppleMusic (or whatever you're using) without having to import it into AmpliTube. Cheers, Paul

That sounds perfect, thanks 👍
