    No - the joyo thing is a filter, ir removes some noise from the power source, but in no way isolates the power from each other. I used one because it stopped a zoom that I was using at the time from interfering with the wireshark wireless I was using at the time. It worked, but later on I had to get an isolated power supply for another pedal.

    Yes, they were waiting for the part from MOD a couple of times. The Jack socket. So in the last month I wrote and asked them to return it as I could get a jack socket in a couple of days.

    I had to chase them 4 times for that. Well, 3 times, once i posted on the bassdirect thread and they contacted me the next day. When they sent it back they sent an email saying they sent it - if it had been me I would have written how deeply sorry I was that it took almost 9 months, guess not..

    Well, just over 33 weeks later, and bass direct have sent back my mod dwarf after replacing the jack socket. Hopefully I can now get going with it, even though I bought a boss ME90b in the mean time to keep going and we have changed the keyboard player in the band since, so some of what I relied on isn't needed any more

    Its always a shame but I have no real problem with it. If someone sees something and buys something at a price the seller is happy to sell at, its theirs and what they do with it is their issue, whether they sell it on or keep it forever. People with deeper pockets than you will always have more options, I have seen many basses I would really like go, because I couldn't afford them or couldn't justify paying for them.

    Not the real instruments, but synthesizers playing accordians yes, bagpipes I am not sure about, I think I might have had to leave the room for that which would make counting hard.

    I have several bluetooth midi things, and they are fine, the Waze doesn't use that for anything other than control from the app, the bass audio comes from effectively one of their WL20 dongles with a couple of cosmetic changes. The Waze are expensive as they have bluetooth from the app, bluetooth audio, wireless audio, accelerometers to control stereo image and effects processing all in one handy headphone sized object. They are very well made. Personally never found the stereo positioning accelerometers at all useful, but they are undoubtadly clever

    Its bluetooth audio (from the phone) and midi, and wireless (ie, same as a wireless sender) from the bass, so no issues. They work really well, I just prefer my old wired headphones adn the controls on the katana go dongle

    Mine turned up, and had some fun with it, a bit too sensitve to everything but I guess it gets easier setting up with time! I can say though in a small survey I did, 100% of pigeons don't like theramins.
  10. Woodinblack
    Also consider the Boss Katana Go, I have both and tend to use that one more

    Play naked, and keep threatening to move out from behind it!
  12. Woodinblack
    You are trying to use them as a line output from a desk? They are microphone level senders, I can't imagine they would work at all well in that situation unless you turned the level right down.
  13. Woodinblack
    Possibly but a little more annoying as you rarely need to pick up an amp while playing! Another cool feature of the wireless thing is that they have a large light ring around the bottom that glows blue, but when the battery is going to die, it starts slowly pulsing red for about 15 minutes before it does, unlike the really expensive senheiser wireless microphone that a dep singer of ours used live, which just cut out mid song. I guess it probably would have said on the tiny LCD screen had she been looking.

    I bought those from £74 from aliexpress a few months back, they came in a week and I have used them at every gig since. The only downside I have in using them is that you can't easily pull a SM58 style microphone through the microphone grip as they are quite fat, so you have to pull it up, which can make a bit of a clonk. However, the singer loves them, can go to the back of the room (and does) with no issues, which enables him to continue his search to get the most attractive, and most tone deaf woman in the audience to sing with him! edit - now I look you can get them for £70 inc tax from ae.

    I have. If you want to play with them, then do it, if you can't be bothered, don't. Seems like an easy choice. I did it because I wanted to.
  16. Woodinblack
    I have, quite some time ago, it was reasonably cheap and actually pretty good. Didn't need any work

    First gig in what seems like an age, but is actually 4 weeks of people being away. Was going to take my Bongo, as the last few gigs I did on the new OLP, but when I picked it up, it seems it has made itself unplayable for some reason, fret buzz everywhere, maybe humidity or something, a couple of months ago I did a gig on it and it was fine. Anyway, took the Maruszczyk because that never causes an issue. It was a short gig for us, a two hour thing, we don't get those, and it was a nice 2-4 gig at a local village with no parking. When we got there there were two people there and said 'hope you are bringing people', so it seemed like it was going to be a bit of a quiet one, however, but the time we got setup, there were quite a few people there. Sound setup without any issue (in fact the same settings as the last gig) and from the word go, the crowd were right behind us. Actually ended up being pretty busy and considering no practices for a while, nothing major disasters either!

    Yes. And no. You can easily power the TU2 from the stomp power. No it can't be isolated as the Stomp power supply is just a single power supply. Is the stomp tuner than bad then?
  19. Woodinblack
    That looks great, if I played 4 I would certainly be looking at getting that, a true classic and cheap for what it is.
  20. Woodinblack
    It certainly would be eaiser, but there is a limit to how much you can change your physical makeup. Your singer might be able to sing many songs without effort but could he do Soprano stuff and deep bass fine? That is why in a choir you have different groups for the ranges.
  21. Woodinblack
    All keyboards are easy to change the key on, but strangely our keyboard player won't change the key on the keyboard, but if you give him a couple of minutes he will just play it in the new key and doesn't complain, which is quite impressive. We change the key to what the singer can sing (or I or the drummer sing it), screaching out of your range is not a good sound. I never found changing key on the bass as much of an issue, not on a 5 string at least (otherwise it makes e flat tricky!) untless it is a really fast thing that relies on open strings, or odd tunings, like some Queens of the stoneage or royal blood when they are in Drop C or something.

    We have gone through long periods of not adding new songs, which is a bit dull, but in general we add a new song every so often and songs get dropped if we either don't like playing them or they don't go down well. We probably have enough songs for 4-5 hours and generally play just under 3, so we can chop stuff around depending on the type of crowd we are expecting. We have a new keyboard player recently so we have gone through adding quite a few new songs, but on the occasion we play without him we have ones that don't need keys. However, some of our songs are the ones that we have had for the last 7 years!
  23. Woodinblack
    Yes, to me it makes it a chocolate teapot, but we all have different ideas on these things. Always wanted one as a kid, and loved one when I played on years ago but I guess I don't play 4 string either so unlikely that I would ever get one, but handy to know the reissues aren't the same as the proper ones.
  24. Woodinblack
    I had a notification that mine was going to turn up on saturday, so there is the weekend sorted
  25. Woodinblack
    Presumably if the string spacing has changed from 15 to 19, they wouldn't be any use for the old ones.
