Unfortunately no. We haven't recorded an actual gig (there's never been an oportunity where we have had enough time to set everything up properly) but we also use the desk for rehearsals, which is basically the same thing apart from in rehearsal we use an electronic kit. We have recorded rehearsals before into Logic and it has worked well. We do covers so I've never actually felt the need to save them! The next time we rehearse I'll record it, save it and post.

We use one live. Never had a real problem with the wireless as sometimes is claimed. It has gone off once but the sound carries on and any competent engineer can reconnect within seconds. Possibly a bit more difficult if a band member is mixing onstage but as said, the sound does not cut out and carries on. We can play live and record multi track into Logic with ease. Also, 6 individual monitor signals and 31 band graphic on everything. Our engineer is over the moon with it. It does everything we ask of it. The best bit of tackle we ever bought.

[quote name='Number6' timestamp='1482105291' post='3197735'] I use Senheiser HD201's.....very decent price and good headphones. [/quote] Thanks for that. No-one could complain at that price!

Can anyone recommend some budget closed headphones for silent rehearsals? A couple of members will not use in ear. Weird ear canals apparently, although I suspect they are scared of the technology! I should imagine they would stretch to £50 each if shamed. Cheaper would be better though. Thanks in advance.

Was Paul Somonons 61st birthday on the 15th too! What a great recurring birthday gift!

[quote name='dlloyd' timestamp='1482019996' post='3197073'] I've played one or two and they were not great. [/quote] I had one and although it played well enough after a setup, the tuners were always naff and it sounded a bit cheap. Tuners and pup replacement maybe but for the extra money, a CV would be more economical. Plus the CV build quality is far superior.

Absolutely great. Some great basses there too. Wish I had access to instruments like that now, never mind when I was as young as they are!

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1482012706' post='3197027'] Very much this. The CVs are a great all round guitar: build quality; hardware; finish; playability; all good. [/quote] Not played the CV Strat but the Tele's are great. I got one off Ebay for £200. Definitely worth saving a few more quid.

Have a look at Cash Converters, there's loads within that price range.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1481946923' post='3196497'] Think of something that makes you happy. Try to think about it in as much detail as you can. Enjoy it...a mug of warm milk and honey will sometimes do the trick too. [/quote] I thought about it and remembered there's a bottle of peach schnapps in the fridge. I'm not sure if I'm lucky or not? It's crap!

I've got 2 bulldogs, 2 Boston terriers and the wife snoring away next to me on the settee. Sleep is not happening. There must be some more beer somewhere...

I try but its not happening is it...

Can't do that. It's yank.

Sleep is for quitters... saying that I've no beer left.

How good is that! Welcome back!
