Many of the effects have an output level, so if that is up the main output is going to be loud, mine is the same bypassed at about half volume

thankyou, thankyou, I would like to thank my parents and.. umm.. <cough> access to the admin control panel for my success here today!

Maybe it's 20 replies to the same post!

Its the superstar badge. it is apparently awarded by posting your 20th post in 2 forums. But clearly people have done that and noone has the badge.

The superstar badge

There is - it is site questions, where you can mark an answer as having solved the problem.

Yeh, its gone up since I bought mine, crazy the cost of living IMG_9101.mov

I assumed the bass player was just desperately trying to stay awake

Reminds me, we need another rank after GrandMaster, with a title like 'needs therepy' or something!

Yes, like that - this was the type I got https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006198188772.html I still keep an eye out for programmable ones, but they are the other side of £100 to do logos and band name etc.

Yep, this is red and green lasers, and LED backfill

Yes. There are 4. I have 3. no-one has the 4th! and seeing as the two badges that match hellzero were awarded on the same day as his I reckon that that is when they were setup.

He needs to get it fixed, that isn't normal, sounds like it isn't turning off, so needs to replace the jack

I have seen such things in several european countries!

I bought a laser from aliexpress for a fiver inc shipping. Powered by USB, works surprisingly well and adds some patterns and a few LED colours.

Agreed - its like those little stickers on laptops, hate it.

Would love a torzal and would get that off you in an instant if only they hadn't forgotten the B string

Yes, I am not sure why the one strap. Every one of my basses has a strap - I would find it irritating if they didn't, they are different sizes so would sit in different positions, and more importantly they are different colours, how could one strap cope! The elecrical thing, it seems to be that venue that specifically has bad electrics, its outside at an end of cable run and testing it with my power tester, the voltage is 209v with 1-4v N-E, but otherwise is fine, and obviously it goes to say when I gave him my wireless, I connected by cable and had no issues - in fact I gave him my cable knowing I would have no issues, so said he needed to get his power supply checked - whatever bad thing is happening in the power of the venue, should't be getting to you.

And maybe that is there market. I know a fantastic keyboard player that developed massive stage fright, can't perform at all. i used to be terrified of it when I was a lot younger. I watch some youtube, but not streamers or any of that stuff, I look up songs when I have to play them, I watch a few comedy things, and a few politcal things. But probably not the audience for any of that sort of stuff

I don't think that has to be true - music is a feeling and an emotion, yeh, sure you can play with people for people, or you can play on your own for yourself. I play live for people, for money, I play for myself because I want to, and that is perfectly valid..

Sunday day gig, thought it was going to be hot so took a fan, so did the drummer. We eventually made a fan table behind us and it was a good thing! The gig in general went well, normal set list, we didnt' get any new songs ready like we were hoping too, people were too busy. I used the Ric in the first half and it was as good as normal, but the guitarist broke his single guitar strap (he has 3 guitars and 1 strap), so as my ric has a strap with no strap lock I switched to my Maruszczyk in the second half so he could use the ric strap. In the second half he was getting electric shocks from his pedal board and threatened to stop so I let him use my wireless so he could continue. Aside from that and a few messed up songs that noone noticed, it went just fine!

Love that torzal twist. What kind of a stand is it on, and is that for health reasons or just to look effortlessly cool?

But then they don't know what a fantastic guitarist is - I have played with some remarkably sub par guitarists and after a gig they will get people saying how good they are - I don't know how peoples heads work. Even if she was playing those things she would be terrible! Well, and you get emails all the time saying buy this latest thing, with some flashy website that when I do a search goes to aliexpress, as you know full well. You can't stop stupid on an open web and I think we are not going to get an offtube!

I read the transcripts, and sorry, still can't see it. I watched the parts of the videos of her in them, and she is clearly just miming along to the videos, and it is very obvious. if people believe that she is playing anything then they are probably idiots, or so far away from being able to make any music that I don't see anyone is losing anything. Compared to half the shit on youtube that actually matters, I think its pretty harmless. What do we expect from youtube and user generated content? Someone I know believes all the stuff he sees on youtube and parrots it with a pasion and a claritiy that I have never had about anything, about how much money the nhs was going to get from brexit, how russia was wronged by the west, how vaxines change your DNA and global warming is a hoax by big science etc - that stuff has consequences, this is some girl who has worked out how to make a few quid from people who want to watch her. I really don't understand how anyone can get annoyed about that?
