  1. Well, I put the string (that was on it) back on it, and it all seems fine and plays ok. Does worry me though. Maybe it was just never in properly and finally fell out, although as I mentioned it had done quite a few gigs. I did do up all those screws at the front as the were all loose, and that probably isn't good anyway.
  2. I am a great fan of the behringer U-PHORIA interfaces, they do models from about £30 up depending on how many ports you want, and they are class compliant USB, so they don't need drivers or anything, as long as you have a USB for your iPad / phone (which are cheap to get, like the apple one). Any specific interface for the phone relies on them supporting it, like the line 6. Incidently the sonic port does still work on the previous OS, so if you get an older ipad that is not upgraded, it is still fine. I have two iPads, my normal one and an older air that I gig with. My normal one (an iPad Pro 10.5) is up to date and the sonic port doesn't work, but my gigging one I don't upgrade, and the sonic port works fine on that.
  3. I was sitting watching some movie yesterday, everyone else asleep, and all of a sudden there was a loud 'clonk' from the corner. Looking round to see what had happened, I noticed that my number 1 bass had a string missing, so I assume it had broken, which was weird. Looking this morning, I found the string and both ends are intact, so I guess it just 'fell off'. This is not something i have had before in over 10 years of having SRs. Anyone ever had this? I guess it must have been not in right but I have done a number of gigs since I last changed the strings.
  4. Not tonight, would have had a private party tomorrow, that would have been pretty good.
  5. hahah - I get that the other way round - 'but it only has 4 strings, you are not going to play that'
  6. If I am getting you right, that the effect is before logic pro, then there is no way that logic can strip the effect from the signal, because it never had the signal without the effect, so something is not going in right. Unless you mean the effect is within pro? Every time I record into logic I just record dry and put the effects in within logic. It gives you more flexibility, as long as you have the effect you need (but then I have helix native, so not short of one there).
  7. Oh go on, you know you are all stuck in the house, might as well pretend you are in front of a giant stack
  8. Lovely looking bass. If I didn't already have my glut of 5 string SRs I would be looking for something like that. But as it is, I am not short of a couple!
  9. Well, if you get the drummer to make a track, you can put a bassline on it and pass it round to the others in the band?
  10. Talked to smoothound, and for £20 they replaced all the metalwork (and the broken plastic cover I noticed, but didn't mention that) and posted it back to me. Its like new now, which is nice as I didn't but it new so it is the best it has ever been!
  11. We did it for a bit but luckily dropped it. It never sounded good
  12. Yep, 24 weeks.. oh as above. Its very slow, but deliberately so, it even has a lesson which is just playing one note and listening to the consistency and sound of that note as you play it etc. Covers pretty well everything
  13. I did the separate paid SBL Accelerator course, and that was very good, some of that stuff has stuck with me. I did also start the Gary Willis course, but that one wasn't for me, so I dropped out and got the refund
  14. Hit the neck to see if it is that. I had an Ibanez with a rattle in the neck. I was told that it was the truss rod, turned out it was a tuner had a rattle in it.
  15. As a non beatles fan, I wouldn't have an issue cutting all of them, but if i didn't, I would have probably kept fool on the hill. I don't know why, but there is something about it that is good.
  16. I agree - it is about playing in a band, and maybe even being mates. Make an assumption that you have it. Would you then be happy practicing with your mates even if they were 2 meters apart? Would you be happy if one of them got it afterwards, or one of their parents, and had a bad outcome, such as death or permanent injury, even if you couldn't know whether that was down to you or not? Would you be happy never knowing if it was your fault? I wouldn't, so I couldn't do it. I agree, part of the problem is people sitting in the park or scrums about bog rolls. The other part of the problem is people thinking that other people are part of the problem and they aren't.
  17. I wanted our group to send tracks out so we could work on them isolated. My wife is asthmatic - if there is a 1 in 100 chance of her dying if she gets it, and there is a 1 in 100 chance of catching at a practice and passing it on, then that is still massively way too high a risk for just a practice.
  18. Yeh, we had a little issue with our band because of this. There are a lot of people that think that isolating doesn't apply to them
  19. I have no issue with the song, but it always caused stress in my last band as to whether the guitarist would get the section right when it changed!
  20. Yep, almost evererything has a high pass filter on it (except the bass drum when we mic that up). The bass doesn't go in the PA (well, it does but only for IEMs, not for the speakers). I think the guitar would sound better if I set the high pass filter higher than 80Hz. I was thinking maybe 15kHz
  21. Well, I just got a refund on the column, so the plan is to now get the TS312S and cover. But at the moment, with the gigging oportunities looking a bit unlikely in the short term, I think I will leave the money in my account until I know when / if we are going to be gigging again!
