Remind him that he is the sax player, and you are the bass player. He does his job, you do yours.

Holy cow!..... 😯🤩

Thanks Kev! Yeah, a few years ago I played in a band with a guy who ran some fantastic sounds from a laptop and a couple of expensive midi foot pedals, but unfortunately he had endless problems getting the set-up to work in a gig situation. Sounds went missing, effects wouldn't work, and it became farcical at times... so... I'm hoping to go down the 'straight-in' road, like yourself, to avoid the vagaries of having a laptop involved. Cheers!

Ooh.... what set up do you have for midi pedals/synth, if you don't mind me asking? I want to dip my toes into that area of playing... I'm interested in the Mcmillen 12 step...

I've been reading about how artificial intelligence has been used to create music. Thought I'd set up a thread for any discoveries you might have found that were created by AI. I've listened to a few bits and pieces - quite impressive, though this is new to me... Plus... if anyone's got any thoughts on AI music generally... where it might be headed? What it might imply for human composers etc?...

HAHAHA!! I'm so going to use that one at work!! 🤣

No reserve?

I have yet to try EBay.... I'd rather sell here if possible, but EBay may have to be an option in future....

I found local FB selling a waste of time as nobody has any money down here. Strangely, I've managed to shift two really nice 5 strings on here without even having to advertise - one through an innocuous post on a thread, another through the items wanted section.... and I got a lovely Mayones in p/x. Win! Still got a fretless to sell that I will get around to shortly...

Hell yeah. I think that song was my first Dio experience!

That's fantastic!! Nicely done, sir!

You don't want to be cringing with embarrassment on stage. Plenty of time for them to get someone else. If guitar/vox boy has no idea what he sounds like, I'd be out of there.

Terrible news. Rush have been a massive part of my musical education since I was about 13. RIP Professor.

Damn!! Love this. Didn't realise he had another project. Cheers for the heads-up!

She can slice and dice, and that's for sure!!

I got a new Dingwall 5 string from Bass Direct just over a year ago - set up was perfect for me and the thing was perfectly in tune straight out of the box. Mucho respect to BD!

I liked Ashe. I like Dan too. Never heard the other guy. I'm not really bothered about the politics, just the music. Great players all, Altered State is one of my favourite albums of all time.

He looks like sh*t these days as a result! Always liked WASP with Chris, but Doug Blair was a better guitarist.

Milton Keynes' finest proggers...

Maybe the programme is becoming like the Xmas dinner at work... people turn up just so they can moan about how sh*te it is.... 😄

This is the crucial thing for me!

Damn straight. There are 2 types of music: music I like and music I don't like.

I was in my local pub five years back watching 6 Nations rugby with a bunch of mates, one who is a bassist for a ska band. The second game was just finishing when 2 exasperated band members pitched up demanding to know how he had forgotten they had a gig that evening. His missus had packed up his gear and the guys loaded it into the van beforehand, and they whisked Gary off to the gig.... about 9 pints in!!! He had a shocker, so I hear, but he did play! Not ideal gig prep....

Oh how rude!! 😋
