There are worse sins e.g. a dotted crotchet across the middle of a 4/4 bar, a minim starting on the second quaver of a beat - very difficult to process on the fly!

Any good for metal?

All being well, having a party at home with our family: our son and his wife (who we haven’t seen in 2 years as they live in Madrid) and our daughter, her husband, and our 2 grandkids. We’ll probably risk asphyxiation by following the Spanish tradition of trying to eat a grape on each stroke of midnight.

My question related to the thread, not you mate!

Is this an offshoot of the Den of Iniquity thread?

Just scroll through the BC Marketplace ads until you see something that piques your interest. If it turns out not to be for you, you’ll drop little or no money in return for the experience of playing with it for a bit.

This has been an ongoing quest for me too. What has worked for me: - DI into my interface - has to have plenty of headroom, otherwise transients cause clipping; - Cali76 compressor; - Two Notes Torpedo CAB with IRs based on 6L6 power amp, speaker to taste; - Line out from Demeter head. What hasn’t worked for me: - Behringer BDI21; - Korg PX4B.

I maintain all my gigging kit myself and get it PAT tested annually. I keep the certificate with said kit. PLI comes from my MU membership. I wouldn’t want to be without either of these protections. As regards PRS, yes that’s down to the venue. A few weeks ago on a rock’n’roll covers gig a PRS rep came up and introduced himself and confirmed that very point. I let him take a photo of the set list and he sat at the front chowing down a pub meal whilst looking up songs on his laptop. This kept him busy because there were a lot of quite short songs! So don’t worry about that but if you play originals, make sure to register and you can claim a few extra bob per gig.

¡Vale! Tocaste esa canción muy bien.

I have a One 10 and a Super Twin and I do end up EQing them differently with the same head - for me the Super Twin needs more mids but less bass.

I have the same problem with a Les Paul Junior guitar (not bass) and I find it helps to have my right foot resting on a small stool about 10-15cm high off the floor.

Very sharp!

Tuner pedal for silent tuning (and changing over basses if necessary). Put a fork in me, I’m done.

This may help: https://www.electrosmash.com/mxr-phase90 I would be looking to increase the gain of the input buffer, or if that causes distortion, the output buffer.

A familiar story - welcome aboard!

I carry loads of spares of all types of cables. Each has a label on it stating its approximate length in metres, as well as a velcro cable tie. Yes I lend them to other band members, but I quickly retrieve them at the end of the gig because they are easy to identify. #controlfreak

One of us! One of us! And HNBD, you have bought well.

Whereabouts are you @Mickyk? I’d be happy to take a look at at it (foc).

I know, very disappointed in John Fogerty there.

I came to bass from guitar so I started out with a pick. It took me a long while to crack the standard two-finger approach, and a few years ago I moved over to fully floating thumb. Nowadays my preference is fingerstyle - I love the feeling of connectedness to the instrument. I still use a pick where either that particular sound is required, or I need to play fast repeated notes.

Best thing would be to drop a verse and a chorus, the intro, the solo, and the remaining verses and choruses. And the bridge. God I hate that song.
