They are showing as still in stock for the 1505MS, 1505, 1005 and 1005MS

I was tempted to order, but I really want to try it first. I find it very odd that GAK have them in stock, whereas all the other companies are showing stock not due until the end of Feb or the beginning of March. Very odd, as in I don't believe it.

I have a TC RH450 and a Ashdown CTM100. The 450 does 95% of the gigs but the CTM does the occasional one when I can find the space in the car to take it out. The CTM does sound very nice for a lot of things.

I don't use a laptop, and we don't have the luxury of a FoH person, so I have to do it all, which isn't ideal. I use an iPad, and although I use the mixing station app, I still use the X18 app in times of panic, probably because i find the layout more familiar. Certainly easier to setup the compressors etc on mixing station. Actually I do take a laptop occasionally, I have an old macbook air that I use when I want to record stuff, generally just straight into garage band (remembering where the record enable is!). Seeing as I also use my iPad for synths and occasional lyrics, it can get a bit multitasking some times! Me, the singer and the drummer are in ear, the guitarist isn't. I didn't actually use a separate wifi router for the first year of having it until I ran into trouble, its uncommon it happens, but when it does you will know about it. I just use a cheap router that is actually smaller than a mains plug. Mine is actually the X18, as it was £100 cheaper when I originally upgraded from the XR16, although now it is the same. Functionally there isn't any difference apart from an additional phono output. The only thing you can really do is spend time with it - some things are obvious, some things less so, especially routing of effects and effect channels, but familiarity helps with all these things. They are amazing devices, although I did a gig once with a X32 and was rather impresses with that (although not the screen!)

Not surprised, not going to get much heft with them!

Are you saying that if you had a class D amp all that time, noone would have danced or had a good time?

We have had that. But luckily they do it at the interval.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

Ooh - Mine has 10 strings too..

Now they have the 5s my interest has gone up, but I have still yet to see one

On mine too..

Speak for yourself

Been there, done that, took the money - did they keep the big lights on??

Still haven't had the chance to try one eta - Gak have the one I want too, the 1505ms Pacific. But Gak is a long way away!

Be interested to hear how it works in action. I must admit the SY1 cures my need for synth backup when playing, but I am no longer chasing the actual synth driver as I have figured the bass is just not a good instrument for it, and I now have a linnstrument which gives a lot more for the same string layout, if you see what I mean

I got one of the same ones, sounded fantastic, but string spacing turned out to be too big for me, so I passed it on. Was a great sounding bass though.

Looks like a thomman https://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_safecase_80_e_bass_bag.htm

I just have some earpiece plugs that have always done me.

Agreed - my band wont do oasis as I refuse to do it (not for political or ethnic reasons). Its not like we haven't been asked at every gig!

I am not sure what you mean, or that aware of any sectarian irish songs (actually any irish songs at all), so I don't think I am in a position to judge.

I applied, filled in the stuff, hit continue, didn't get so much as an email reply. Will wait and see

I don't think anyone was missing your point, I am just disagreeing with it. it is still political. Literally, it is no longer acceptable behaviour to hang and burn people because of their skin colour in the south of the USA any more (ignoring the other places that it is), but the conditions that give rise to that haven't gone anywhere. in fact if anything they are on the rise.

I would say, in a vein similar to WoTs post about political, i don't think colour matters, I don't think it is relevant the colour or race of the group doing the song, wrong is wrong regardless. I just think it is not something that goes in the set of a adult pop pub group

Very. When viewed from an age when whether black people actually had rights, or were indeed 'as human' as white people was incredibly political. It effectively killed Billie Holiday. The fact that it is not as obvious now as it was then, doesn't change that that much.

That is my issue, Which is the polar opposite of that song. Its not cool and it isn't pop. It is jarring, political and depressing.
