As previously mentioned, everything can be played on a 1 string, some people are just more used to using 4.

Sadly already £140 above its value!

Yes. Does anyone need a 4 string bass?

Presumably as it was on telly it had been rehearsed before recording with a piano or something. Singing something at the same pitch as something you heard before isn't perfect pitch

Agreed, it is what you are used to. There was a combination of mainstream music (4/4) and classical growing up, so I don't find other time signatures a problem, in fact for listening music I prefer them, but there are some genres that it doesn't work, and some people that just haven't been exposed to anything else who can't cope. But we don't have one natural scale, we have several depending on the instrument. The scale on a piano is different from the scale on a guitar, even if only slightly. If someone has perfect pitch (compared with someone who just says they have which is a much larger segment), they can literally hear the frequency, which means if it is somewhere between an F and an F#, they will know that, because they can hear the pitch. I have only met 2 people with perfect pitch, but a lot more than claim to have it. And.. we are all born with the ability to have perfect pitch, but most of us lose it due to a lack of exersize.

That sounds promising!

Serious nostalgia there, going round my mates house and listening to that and those things like it.

it is - and I would know that and buy it and then end up not playing it because its a 4. I always know this before i do it, but somehow I still do it!

If I lived near that I would be round his house today with some cash!

My plan was that we were going to do quiet practices but then after agreeing to it, the guitarist didn't want to (you would think it would be the drummer wouldn't you? no).

I have a jam hub. I really need to sort out what I am doing with it, as I don't think I have used it in years.

Oh I assumed when you said C4 that was the prototype! Same here. They were so bad but looked so cool.

Cool - A full set of sinclair products if he also had the mini-tv!

Same as others. Doesn't bring anything to that song. Very good musicianship for other songs though

Careful., you could hurt yourself with that

We had that when we were playing every weekend, god knows what it is going to be like when we get back!

It is true though isn't it? I mean with the stomp, if you are not using an external pedal, it literally only has 3 pedals, of which one you need to change modes / tuners etc. So two buttons. I have looked, I didn't see any more buttons. So yes, you can do two pedals, but that seems it.

I like to think I have got better, but you never know until you are standing there thinking 'God, I have no idea how we start this song!"

It's something I have been thinking about this week, the wrong is sitting there doing nothing, instead of it just wasting away, it could have a life as a fretless, especially as I have recent put some dents on it

They come with a trrs 3.5mm cable (yes, 2 rs)

I looked at the kemper profilers but I didn't see the one that looked like that!

Had a look round the web, I can't see anything that has two rows of footswitches like that and a screen on the edge but doesn't have a rocker pedal on it. Did they genuinely use a casette to do the last song?

I would say so. Only just saw this. I don't think I ever used the term 'emulation' as I don't think it is possible to emulate a synth, seeing as a synth is fundamentally synthetic in the first place! The difference that I had explained between the SY (< 1000) series and the GR series is that the GR is an actual synth (ie, you can stick midi in and play it with a keyboard, and take midi out and feed it to a keyboard), so the string (every single string isolated) is taken in, it works out the frequency if each note and triggers, and feed those frequency to a set of oscilators and the triggers an envelope filter, and generates a sound, same as if the frequency and trigger came from a keyboard. The SY (<1000) series takes the waveform coming from the bass (singular - mixed waveform) and uses that in place of the oscilators. Plus side, instant, no latency, Minus side, you still never know what notes they were so you can't change them easily. But it appears the SY1000 has both. I assume whatever he has that can make him sound like the original programmed bass track on the album. Looks like an old vox, but probably isn't. Can't see anything like that.

Could have been worse, could have announced an effects pedal or something!
