It doesn't matter does it, as long as you call what you see green, and I call what I see green, it doesn't matter what we see as long as we have a common name for whatever it is.

notifications and then unread.

True, but there is only so long you can put up with your tribe singing "I know a song that will get on your nerves" before you learn to articulate 'shut up'!

Surely that again is not the point? You can stick any old pickups through a couple of preamps to eliminate the interference between the picksup, or even just buy some EMGs which have that already done. But that doesn't give you individual string buffering to get rid of inter string loading. That is the wals main feature. Not knocking wal at all, I am sure there basses are nice, played one once, it was pretty good, seemed a bit like an overwater really, too much for me to be interested in (and also too heavy). Unplugged, nothing hugely different. But plugged in, elecronically, unique. I think the idea of doing a 'wal clone' would have to be about the electronics.

What's Would be the point of a wal clone without the electronics? Something that just looks a bit like a wal?

Could have been there to give it a sense of 'we are all too out of our tree to notice'.

Well, the deepmind is their synth, whereas all the others are just copies of older synths, so it is going to be more flexible. If I was ever going to take a hardware synth to gig with, it would probably be the blofeld, as it is not only a fantastic synth, it can also do samples which is handy. But it is just more stuff to cart around and I have no shortage of that!

Mine just connects to my iPad and iM1

G&L do a jazz style bass, I assume the neck on that is thinner?

I would say that jack socket has the ring and body shorted out so the battery is on permanently

If it was a 5 I would have bought it before this thread was up! Got tempted by the HoD, but honestly not gigging, I don't need this stuff.

I can't remember what mine was but it also had a strobe. Yes, the flute on that used to annoy me a lot too. I guess they didn't bother redoing things back then.

Not when you want to put the amp on top of the cab

Well, thats the same with my singing, but not because I can't hear it You could just get those turntable mats with the pattern on it, and then look at it under electric light and you would see if it was running slow. I always had a problem with the track 'jane' by jefferson starship - I was given it as a single but the hole wasnt quite central, so the intro had a wow of about a tone! Natural. I used to believe that you could teach these things, but I am now coming round to the idea that you can't teach that stuff later in life. You can be shown it and have it pointed out, but if you don't hear it yourself, noone can persuade you to hear it. And not all instruments do we bother with. And sometimes it is not desirable. But much longer subject!

You say that but I have been surprised about how many guitarists I have met who genuinely don't notice when they are out of tune. I don't know it happens

I would say I do make a few thousand a year playing in cover bands, which has gone, but I spend that all on instruments so and I have sold a few things this year, so it has balanced out!

Broken socket. My wrongo was like that. As was another bass I picked up second hand.

I remember reading about the guitarist with wasp, he didn't get any money when they weren't touring, so he worked on a building site, and then would get called on short notice and couldn't play much for a bit. My work hasn't changed at all, so I am in a fortunate position. If anything, slightly better as I am not going to work and not going out at all!

Have you don't one of those anscestry.com DNA tests, just to check if she has bolivian roots? But to be fair, this stuff is so much easier to learn when you are a kid. Its important to let her listen to the notes together to show how they sound, like C & D together, not great, tense. C&E, thats ok, C&G thats ok, and then C&C, they sound like they are supposed to be together, like the same thing. Well, depending on the anscestry.com results obvs.

I would imagine that since the invention of armchairs, there are more of them. Presumably there are armchair armchair experts, on armchairchat.co.uk?

That is slightly different than this though, that is just the same name for different thing. It makes no difference if your A is 410 or 450, your scale is still the same (back then scales were different anyway, but also not really relevant). Like with colours, it doesn't matter if you call green yellow, if everyone calls green yellow. Also however many notes you divide an octave by is just cultural, but that still involves dividing an octave, what is discussed there is not having a an octave at all. It doesn't make a difference with perfect pitch. If you have perfect pitch, one pitch is always that pitch, regardless of what you call it, it is just a question of using the right labels, but doesn't change you hear the note. In fact when it comes down to it, it is actually a very odd thing that we don't all have perfect pitch, I guess because we hadn't been taught when we were young (see Rick Beatos videos on it), in the way we were taught sight. If you ask people to give the names of light at 560THz or 450THz , most people will get Green or Red. If you play some sound at 880Hz, very few people will give you the note.

No trawling replied, first post in the thread,, hit that << button

Damping for when you are two handed tapping, when you can't mute the rest of the strings normally as both hands are busy doing something else. Same reason a chapman stick has a full time mute

There is. At 25 seconds in his cigarette is in danger of burning his headstock, by 1:26 it has grown a fair bit, by 2:33 it is down so much there is only room for one puff before he puts it out.

Of course he got it right, it just took him until G&L to do it, and noone was paying attention by then
