  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
  7. 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
  8. 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.
  9. Probably going to be ok with "Touch Me" then, which is the only thing anyone knows
  10. 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!
  11. 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!
  12. 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
  13. Bugs me too, quite a lot, but we don't aim for perfection because frankly, we would never get there.
  14. 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!)
  15. I never found spread to be that wide an effect that I would want to modulate it while playing tbh - I would tend to put it on filter cutoff / blend or a->b algorithm sweep. I just got a B Stock Cobalt 5, and have been spending time with that (few knobs downside, upside much less table!).
  16. Expression can be assigned to anything, so if you just select EXPR in the modulation options you can then touch any control to assign it to there. Although obviously a large number of those options wouldn't be terribly useful but its nice to have the option.
  17. But he isn't here as a company rep talking about the products, in general he is here as someone talking about amps and amp design in many threads with some valuable insight. Obviously if people start talking about the amps that the company he works for he is going to talk about that too, but that doesn't make him a company rep. Really? There is nothing at all condescending in that that I can see, it appears to be a statement of fact. Like people drive round in Range Rovers and go on about them, and I don't get it, so the only valid answer to that is that maybe they aren't for me, which doesn't make them idiots, it just means it is not my thing. Some people spend thousands on a fender P bass, when you can get one for a couple of hundred, I have tried both and the only valid answer to that is maybe they aren't for me. Just because something offends you, doesn't mean it is offensive.
  18. The 'no returns' thing on eBay means just no returns in case you change your mind. If there is something wrong, or it is not advertised properly (or there are additional fees) then you can return anyway.
  19. Honestly I would be ok doing more miles if we had more gigs - its been really quiet this year, but mostly because the singer and guitarist have had holidays on alternate weekends. I think i might put a post on our local music group to see if anyone wants a dep.
  20. There weren't any 5 strings back then so it would be a bit pointless.
  21. Oh in that case, no, there is no point in him. So buyer beware.
