I actually didn't like the song until I had to learn the bassline, but quite a few songs have been like that!
-
Our guitarist doesn't use IEMs for that reason, but for me, IEMs are a revelation. The band are too loud to not wear hearing protection anyway, which means you already have to jam something in your ears and with the IEMs it gives me the confidence to sing properly, can't do it without them, it sounds terrible (not that it is great with them!)

And then they emailed yesterday!
-
I suspect their email system is fine, just that they aren't sending any messages! I guess I have to chase it up again, they were waiting for a part on the 9th March, I guess they are hard to get..

I used to use the Voice Live play, which is the cheap one, and it can do quite a lot, but after a while I realised I just needed the gang vocal thing, so I have a TC Critical Mass pedal which does what I need.

The IEM (in ear monitors) Bible thread
Woodinblack replied to EBS_freak's topic in Accessories and Misc
Well, that is handy as I bought them on your recommendation -
I get the marketing emails on the sunday from them. Don't seem to be as quick with the updates to the effects pedal I sent back to them a few months ago to fix.

When you say bulkier, is that also heavier? I always hae the problem of one of my KZZ10s falling out, bad ear shape I guess, but it doesn't help that its heavy. -
Wireless system - Lekato, Boss or something else?
Woodinblack replied to ots's topic in General Discussion
I never change the channel so its probably something you get used to. Yes, it was a bit bigger than my 2.4GHz dongles, but I figured maybe it needed to be. -

That is the same one I have, other than mine is white and cuvave, used for the last n years now, and never had a problem with. I only got them because I lost my previous ones and my smoothhound was being repaired, but they have been so trouble free and reliable over the last years that I would need something to pull me away from using them. They also have the advantage of being very light, so they don't flap too much -
Did music lessons at school help with your musical life?
Woodinblack replied to Nail Soup's topic in General Discussion
Our lessons were pretty useless and fairly haphazard, more done from the fact they had to do it rather than any love of doing it. -
In which case it is an accurate rendition of tool! Well worth it - saw them in the O2 last year, in general I don't like stadiums but that was fantastic. Remember to keep your phone in your pocket!

Matching the strap to the bass?
Woodinblack replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
The burgundy looks nice -
Well, that makes sense - what you are paying so much for is that it is an antique, and if it has been modified it is not the same thing
-
I would buy that
-
Pretty poor considering how few models they actually sell that ou don't know all of them, if that is your job and you haven't just started yesterday.
-
Probably going to be ok with "Touch Me" then, which is the only thing anyone knows
-
Oh come on, how can you not do that? I have heard you play stuff many times harder than anything that she is going to be singing without error. It would be a crime if you didn't!

I think mine is earlier than that. When I was a kid i had a very strict, and not entirely mentally stable piano teacher. Well, actually I had 2, complete contrasts. The first one i went to and loved, but my mum took me away from there, as whenever we went or she picked me up there would be other kids there too, and the lessons merged from one to the other (ie, you got there 5 minutes early you would listen to the previous kid, then at the end of yours the next kid would be listening). She was great, but my mum though it wasn't the right personal attention as others were there, so we went to another one. None of that there. But she was strict, very strict and almost took all the joy out of playing sometimes (but not quite!). I still have manuscripts with very large drawn angry pencil marks around a sharp I got wrong (F# - always hated it since). so when I got something wrong we would stop and do it again until it was right. Which means I really hear every mistake reverberate around my head, and every note that is wrong overides the 100 that were right. I have learned recently that just laughing at the mistakes with the drummer when something sounds bad is a more enjoyable way of doing it, but it takes work!

Within bounds yes, there is the feeling of a job well done, and obviously perfect is the enemy of good, but sometimes, good would be a step up
-
Bugs me too, quite a lot, but we don't aim for perfection because frankly, we would never get there.

You know that the fender neck codes don't contain the day don't you? it would just say June 68, the 15 is the jaguar model neck code from 66 on - (would be 1 before that), like 5 would be P bass and 7 would be jazz bass. So it could be 2 weeks closer to your DOB (or further away!)
