I can get enjoyment from all sorts although if something is too simple I have to really concentrate to not get distracted and lose my place. But although in general I am ok playing the straight stuff, I couldn't do more than a couple of songs of it, an prefer something a bit more interesting for enjoyment while playing - I don't really get enjoyment having done something unless I am practicing to myself

Makes sense, but I have rechargables in all these things and I just routinely rotate through them, there are the wireless microphone, guitar sender and IEM that get changed at every gig, a USB power bank and the batteries in various things such as the P2, cable tester, foot pedals etc that get changed every month or so.

I always keep on with me - they are small, it doesn't hurt and you never know.

I just take the mixer, never had a problem with it, so I doubt I would. I guess if something went wrong we could cobble something together, but never been an issue,

Not my gig, the drummers gig with his other band. He played the pub we are playing new years eve on, only when he got there he saw posters for another group at new years eve. So he asked and they don't remember booking us (we do, and confirmed it), a whole year ago. Also the gig that we had the week before christmas contacted us to say they didn't have enough ticket sales for their event so they are cancelling it, so there is Christmas gone as well as a non trivial amount of money! Going to be a quiet Christmas, have nothing to the end of January now

The ibanez ric copy I had in the 80s had stereo

I have just gone down to a smaller one - just seems that as I have a pedalboard on it, it is a pain that i need a separate pedal just to make one noise! Single shot sample triggered by midi. I will check the audio file plugin if it does that.

I have done that many times in my last group with 'ever fallen in love' and 'teenaged kicks' - they always merged into one with me!

Oh yes there is! https://www.willcoxguitars.com/lightwave-optical-pickup-system/

OK, so now I am back gigging with my mod dwarf and I am happy with the sound, although I probably need to set up some new patches that I used on my ME90B while the dwarf was away. If I can get a sample playback plugin I can drop a pedal from the pedalboard, and add some other things. Looking it seems that there is still no sample playback pedal so once again I think I need to try and make one. Has anyone (and I am probably guessing @SamIAm ) had any luck building a plugin on a mac? If not I have some PCs around, would just be easier on the mac. Then I need to look at some autowah - or I guess I can repurpose my voume pedal as a expression. but only if I get the room by removing the jamman!

I am fine with that but always mess up the verse

I would assume one stereo in, two mono out

We have a lot of singer songwriter types, guy/girl with acoustic guitar singing something soulful or righteous for a while, seems to have been the trend for a decade now. But we don't really have a shortage of bands either, most of the pubs that are still open have a live band one at the weekend, just not as many pubs that there used to be.

Chris squire always played that way. Its actually easier to deal with now, if you have something like a helix (other brands are available) with stereo inputs you can just use a stereo to mono cable (or even a stereo wireless - lekato do one) and setup one channel per pickup, can probably get some good sounds that way. I use stereo quite a bit as the chapman stick is stereo, although that is more obviously useful as the bass comes out one side and treble the other, so processing is good and my rick is a 4004 so no ric'o'sound. Easiest way is if you have a 4003, just try it. All you need is a stereo to dual mono adapter which costs a couple of quid at most, and see if you can make a good sound with it that makes it worth it, don't be put off by what people who haven't tried it or it isn't part of their sound do, its what it sounds like to you that matters. I would certainly use it if I had it.

You mean, january and it is a jazz, or you actually know it was made on the 7th some other way?

I was going to say that it was worth it if it was around £1000 so you could do it up, then clicked the link. No!

Well, if you feel you have missed a few notes, add some in later

3 (24 bits) * 12 (channels) * 96,000 (Hz) = 3,456,000 bytes / sec 32GB =29.802 GiB / 3,456k = 9259 seconds = 2:34:19 - so about 2 ½ hours in about 8 files I would assume.

Even worse - if they were still alive, its something that wasn't good enough for them so they sold because it wasn't worth what they would get for it.

yes - I have one of these. It is not just bluetooth, it does have a hardware midi connection and the use of its button is controllable by software (which is called cube suite). I couldn't find a manual but there is a page on the mod dwarf site which is basically how to connect it to a mod dwarf (obviously) but does cover its operation quite well which might be useful https://forum.mod.audio/t/midi-chocolate-controller-with-the-mod-dwarf-an-introduction/7003

Well, yes, I don't know andy baxters shop at all, but he seems well regarded and you have some chance of a followup if something goes wrong. There are a large number of people selling on ebay that don't seem to understand that if the full retail price of something is £3k, selling at 10% off that isn't a bargain, when you aer not providing the options, support and piece of mind that a shop is. Especially when most shops sell 10% below RRP anyway

The guitarist in my band has been having a trouble with his fender amp - he has had it 'repaired' 3 times (the last one he specifically said he didn't want anything replaced) and it still isnt working right.

But even if it was fully right, why not save yourself a few quid and buy an absolutely brand new one from an actual dealer with a warantee and everything for that price? Its £50 cheaper from guitargutar, or £500 cheaper if you are happy with second hand for mint condition from andy baxter.

Not sure I have anything much to speak of. There are a few basses that I wouldn't say no to, such as a 5 string status headless but they don't come cheap so there is a bit of a gap between cost and want that probably will prevent it. A better way to trigger synth lines. although TBH - I have all I need, if I just put it together into some giggable form!

I need to get something done with my camera - its a bit dead at the moment, its a zoom but as is the way with a lot of stuff, anyone who ever decided that USB-Micro was a good idea for providing power to anything that was heavier than a lead needed their head examining. This looks good but nto sure I trust it to not be nicked by the crowd!
