Happy Jack

I last saw Groundhogs at least 15 years ago (Tony McPhee was still leading the band), and Stray at least 40 years ago!

I always thought that Can't View A Topic was the 'difficult' second album from Steely Dan. 🤨

Before you buy the C1 you may want to have a look at the H1. Apart from offering a great range of harmonies (very useful for BVs) the H1 is also 'hard-wired' for pitch. If you set it manually to produce harmonies in the key of E then it will produce exactly that, regardless of whether or not your pitching is accurate. I have even tuned my bass by setting the H1 to E A D G and singing through it. You'll probably want to exercise caution when using these pedals with fretless bass or slide guitar (or similar). I mainly use my H1 when playing DB which means that the 'auto-key' function is a complete no-no. I keep the pedal easily in reach and manually set it to the correct key for each song for this reason. One other thing worth noting about the these pedals is the very high current draw. Running the H1 off batteries (any sort, including large-capacity leisure batteries) can be a nightmare ... it's happiest running off the mains. Best look up whether the same is true of the C1.

These devices DO work with just bass - I use the VoiceTone H1 all the time, and I assume that the VoiceTone C1 does the same.

OK, that's obscure. And probably deep. But definitely obscure.

As of now, I've been asked to play on NYE by eight different venues and with three different bands. This might make sense if I was God's gift to bass playing, but as it happens ...

Best place for 'em ...

And while we're talking YouTube, I've just re-posted the video shot by @Silvia Bluejay of my talk at the 2014 SouthEast BassBash on another thread and found that the on-screen quality has deteriorated really, really sharply. There were nowt wrong wi' t'video when uploaded in 2014. Now it looks like a piece of film salvaged from a skip after a couple of days in the rain. Even more alarmingly the sound quality (from the camera that we used to use for all our band videos) is also now complete pants. Any ideas WTF has happened here?

And They Stand There ...

Different sort of warming-up but yes, the two types work well together. If you just want the finger-stretching bit, go to 8:40.

Excellent! As a person who does NOT have Admin rights to that channel, I can confirm that YouTube currently shows 102 subscribers.

I'm beginning to wonder if there's any aspect of life that does not have a forum ...

Link, please?

Absolutely a +1 from me ... not just a tiny, tiny thing, but also very cool and remarkably effective pedal. Best of all, when your guitarist's pedal board fails or blows up you can rescue him on the spot. 🙄

Any Basschatters with decent experience of this app? @Silvia Bluejay and I are wondering whether it's worth upgrading from the Behringer XR18 (decent product, utterly lousy control app) to the Mackie DL16S and there's surprisingly little available online to inform the decision.

Reckon that headstock shape needs work ... 😉

As an added no-cost bonus, you get a reminder of my Lockdown-special porn-star moustache ...

... is starting to look VERY interesting.
