Sorry to hear that. You can never really know what someone else is dealing with

They are - the fender ones are pretty ugly, the telecaster (and original P) are beyond ugly but everyone is used to them.

Just listened again, you would need a split to get the sounds but there is nothing hard there in the intro, I could do it and I am not great. The keyboard player in my band could do it better. I mean, I wouldn't, I would have the bass player playing the bass, but it could be done without too much difficulty. I gets a bit trickier in the chorus and i notice that live Madonna had bass, guitar, and two keyboards.

Buying from unsolicited contacts, F&F, photos

We are looking into various options to improve security, nothing is set yet. The wanted forum may or may not end up being supporting members only, it is being explored, but it would enable it to have conversations and bumping and be more useful for people to sell. -
Is the search facility working?
Woodinblack replied to TheGreek's question in Site Issues and Questions
Maybe ask them if they know where it is? I found some words had funny characters which were hard to search -
Good song for a wedding - "Seems like each time I'm with you, I lose my mind Because I'm bending over backwards to relate It's one thing to complain, but when you're driving me insane Well then, I think it's time that we took a break" "I can't sit back and wonder why It took so long for this to die And I hate it when you fake it You can't hide it, you might as well embrace it So believe me, it's not easy It seems that something's telling me" Still, at least it isn't every step you take!

You don't need to use an online calculator, paypal does it itself. On Paypal when you select goods and services, you put in the value you want, and it gives you the option of you sending that ammount or the seller recieving that amount (so you paying more). -
Indeed - if the sound team can't hear (or see) that an instrument then they are not doing their job, which means they shouldn't be there. That part of it really isn't rocket surgery! Nothing to do with digital decks, the problem is the problem either way. Your one task is to take all the instruments and make the best sound you can. If you can't actually hear an instrument is missing (well, unless it is so bad you think it is better without, or maybe you are mixing for metallica), then you are not doing your job. Unless you are a 50 piece orchestra or something, counting is a pretty basic skill

Now, this is what I call a real custom shop!

Nice to have the options though, but where are the bongo options? -

I think proper custom shop is what Maruszczyk have - you can pick the number of strings, bolt on/set, wood, colours, hardware colour, pick up types and count, preamp types etc. -
I do have the second of my pair of evox's now, will have to bring them for measurement at some point (and maybe bring to the bassbash for some kind of test). I will note my second (plastic, 3rd gen) evox is louder than my first (wooden 1st gen), even though they both seem to have the same amp in them.

One of the great things about Basschat is that you can put up an advert for what you want and people with that item can contact you. Also Basschat is mostly a safe place with good people. However, it is still a public forum where people who aren't so great can join. Recently we have had a few notifications from members who were contacted by people who have been here ages, offering great deals with pictures. These messages have some things in common. * The user has been here a long time but hasn't posted in ages * The image is exactly what you asked for * The user wants paying only in Paypal Friends And Family (note, you shouldn't use this payment anyway if you don't 100% trust the person) The whole point of "Wanted" is to get things you want, but please be cautious. Check that if the person contacting you has been a member for a long time, they haven't had a large break in posting - If you click their name to see their history, did that history stop in say, 2014, with nothing until last week? If you have been provided with pictures, do the following: 1. Download one of the pictures 2. Go to google.com, click on the top right where it says 'images' 3. Click the icon in the search bar that is a bit like a camera, next to the magnifying glass. 4. Click 'Upload a file' and upload the image you downloaded in 1 5.. On the right there will be loads of similar images, but at the top of the left section there will be a button marked 'find image source' If that actual image (not just something like it) appears on the internet, there will be a link to where it was shown. Now if that image is on another site, it could well be that the user is also selling the item there, but as most of the links I have found tend to lead to Bassics.de or craigslist in California, you can be reasonably confident that they aren't the actual seller. If in doubt, you can always ask the user for another photo that they haven't provided such as 'can I see an image of the right side' or something, a genuine user selling something of many £100s shouldn't have an issue with that. And remember, like so many things in life, if it doesn't feel right, don't do it! Also if you do come across issues like this, just report the post and we can look into it, even if it is a message.

Yes, these are genuine replacements, so if you don't like effect A, you can swap it for effect B, then any time you select the effect on the panel, or manual or preset, you will be selecting effect B as that is what is there now.

Was playing aroudn with mine yesterday practicing some songs and setting up some patches. I like the octave (the mono one), I also like the drop thing (where you set a place, press the button and it dive bombs down/up and back up/down), and the pitch change is fine for the occasional one off trip to a different key in a band setting (would do it in a recording). I thought it was odd that you had different things in different places, ie, you have a whole compressor section, then you have a compressor in the chorus section, but then realised playing with it that the pitch effects are also in the compressor section, so if you set it to that you lose the compressor, apart from the one in the chorus section. I was going to play with more settings, but I got kind of stuck in the amp models, and ended up actually practicing, and also playing along with things that were in e flat, with the drop pitch.

Wireless system - Lekato, Boss or something else?

Oh damn you - I wasn't looking for any of this! -

Woodinblack replied to ots's topic in General Discussion
Having now started thinking about this, as the lights are the single biggest lead (not individually, made from others etc, but goes round the back behind the drummer - I won't have anything over the front), so a wireless lights system woudl be good. Because we are just a pub band I have a couple of lights that flash in time to the music and not prepared to do a while light thing as I do the PA etc, so the answer 'what would happen if the wireless fails) is, well, one would just carry on as beofre, the other would go dark, but at the press of a button it could be independant too. -

Woodinblack replied to ots's topic in General Discussion
That was similar to my edit part - except the one in my edit, the receivers are rechargable battery. But the transmitter isn't. If there was a charger that had an IEC passthrough so it could be put on the plug, that would be ideal! or I guess just something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/CERRXIAN-Outlet-Socket-Splitter-Conversion-black/dp/B0BJVJXQ9Y/
