Yes, subtle gold, like this:

Although in several large recent cases, people have had to give away large amount of royalties because of (common) chord progressions in US legal cases.

I have ordered from bax in the last few months over the £135. The price had vat on the website, I paid that price, it was sent from Holland and arrived a few days later, no additional costs

Honestly, one thing I have always noticed is that if you are positive and productive you don't spend a lot of time on social media telling people you need to be positive and productive. Likewise, being kind to people, looking after your friends, supporting your friends businesses etc.

Same here, I used to really hate the smiths, but now I really like their music when morisey isn't singing, the songs are really well put together, the basslines are fun to play and Marrs guitar work is excellent, but morissey just ruins it for me.

Wow, that must be tricky to get between the strings!

Love poplar burl, in fact a 30" poplar burl headless sounds pretty perfect.

Not bad but I think I am holding out for one of @Jabba_the_guts beautiful short short scales

Sounds like a plan. After a 3 hour gig with it set to half way and 2x12" speakers, the amp is warm to the touch but not so hot that it is an issue picking it up.

I have a TC450. I am not sure if the fan is running all the time, but I can't hear it until it has been pushed for a few hours. You can feel it blowing air after a while of it being on when it has got hot, but I have been very surprised at how loud fans are on other amplifiers.

Indeed - a lot of drum machines and DAWs have that, but only around a fixed point. So you have a track which is 100bpm. It will always be 100bpm, but some beats will be ahead and some will be behind, there will be variation on a bar basis, but not on a song basis.

Unfortunately can't listen without logging in to spotify. Obviously some music is fine with drum machines, and some isn't - I mean very much like this:

Ah ok, so it is an off.

If the noise is inherent in the pedal then obviously it should, like with high gain amps.

Whats 'Flat'? Is that effectively off? Not sure how you can have a flat Q. A flat spike isn't much of a spike.

I mean all albums and songs being locked to a fixed beat and all parts of that song being locked to it, until the whole thing is totally synced and unnatural. Happens also to most music.

I don't know what Michael Buble sounds like really apart from tv shows he has been on - maybe he is perfect. but maybe you aren't his target market, he certainly isn't mine. As I said, I doubt there is any album made in the last decade that doesn't have some kind of pitch correction and with the majority of that, where not used as an effect you wouldn't know. TBH, I am not bothered about pitch correction, it seems fine for what it is used by, I would prefer it any day of the week compared to the evil that is quantisation.

That was literally my first use of the 12 step. The backing chords in the middle of Another Brick in the wall, because it drops out so much there.

Yes, there is a low level electronic noise on the Zooms, which is not something that would cause an issue playing live (which is all I am interested in here - recording I could use the Helix Native), but this was something else - it was that same noise but the level you would get when you are not playing anything through a very high gain distortion, but not going away when you played, Obviously worse on high gain patches. Anyway, hopefully some state it had got itself in which has now gone - currently it sounds like the B3n, which is what I expected.

This was all patches including blank. So I did a factory reset, still the same. I then took the batteries out, so I could test it in the same way back to back with the B3N, then I plugged it all in again, negligable noise, tried it with the shuker, nothing bad. put the batteries back in, tried it on battery only, still quiet. Plugged it back in, still quiet. So now it seems fine - like it had got some messed up treble setting which now seems to have cleared out. Will test it more tonight.

I got a B1-Four yesterday, but only got a chance to try it out last night. or at least I would have but I coudn't, I thought maybe it was the lead. It works fine on headphones but couldn't use it with my amp due to a wall of noise. Tried it first thing this morning, and using my upstairs setup, which is bass -> effect -> BAM200 ->speaker using my shuker and OMG, it is a wall of hiss, sounds like the treble is turned up and then it has a treble boost on top of that. DId a global reset on it, it is a bit quieter, but still not in any way useable, switched back to the B3n, as next to noise free as you can get (this is using the B3ns power lead). Tried the B1-Four with internal batteries, still nothing. Tried it with my Short scale talman bass on the wall (passive) and it isn't that hissy, ie, a little bit but would be lost in any mix. Is there some 'hiss like mad if someone plugs in an active bass' setting? All bar two of my basses are active and that isn't changing. There doesn't appear to be any hiss when it is on headphones.

Thats what I got it for. Not sure I have tried the others. Well, technically model 15 on the iPad is MPE, but it is mono anyway. It is supposed to be doable to set the blofeld up as MPE, I haven't tried it yet.

Indeed. It would be about the same size as the linnstrument (but with a smaller range). I upgraded to Equator 2 while they had the 25% off and the updgrade offer, and that is pretty impressive. Probably the best synth I have. Works with both the roli and the linnstrument

I got the roli 25 but the I got annoyed because I ran out of space. So I got rid of it and got the 49, but it is quite big so I use it less (but more when I do!). I also have a linnstrument that I keep thinking about gigging with, but haven't yet.

Yes, I have the phrase pads set up with samples. It has a whole programable section I have never used. It is very accessible, such that if someone says "Play a flute sound", you have at most 3 clicks to get a basic one. It is large, although it is very light and it works on batteries. I find they tend to hold their price, and note there are two VR09s, the second one has a better keuboard. The DS is a flexible multi preset device for playing lots of sounds, The VR09 is an organ with some other presets tacked on. Really the organ of the VR-09 is hard to beat until you start going up in price a lot. Mainly because of the flexibility of the drawbars I got the DS at the time as I needed the flexibility and I wanted the sample playback functions. This is the trouble with synths. With a bass, different colour, different look, basically all sound pretty similar. Synths, similar prices, huge difference in functions, but all crossing over each other. It is a rabbit hole I tell you!
