[quote name='derrenleepoole' post='1017819' date='Nov 9 2010, 04:44 PM']Jazz mixed with extremely tight funk and uber minimalist zen groove philosophy = Nik Bartsch's RONIN [/quote] Isn't that just utter bollocks?

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1017582' date='Nov 9 2010, 02:25 PM']That's not a bad thought, Wayne. What sort of DB is it? (Thomann / Stentor / Anton Whatsit / Other). How playable was it when it arrived?[/quote] No idea on what type but it was fully set up when I picked it up and you get free servicing too.

I rent mine £30 a month no minimum term

Oh you cynics, he was just a nice man telling us about the new Lakland range.

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='1017065' date='Nov 9 2010, 12:03 AM']Hola brother,,,,,,how was your transitional period from electric to upright???????????? Are you gigging the DB yet?[/quote] I'm getting there slowly but surely, not gigging yet I think that'll be the new year. [quote name='cheddatom' post='1017171' date='Nov 9 2010, 08:46 AM']Sorry wayne, I have no idea why, but every time I see a picture of you I think of earthworm Jim. You don't even look alike! [/quote] Why are you sorry EWJ is a hero.

[quote name='7string' post='1017041' date='Nov 8 2010, 11:32 PM']Great post '51 P looks good.[/quote] Bet it sounds muddier than Glastonbury like all the other 51's though.

Cheers for posting that was interesting.

First Sadowsky I haven't liked.

[quote name='icastle' post='1016383' date='Nov 8 2010, 02:19 PM']My amp is flightcased along with a couple of rack mounted sound processors. By the time you have all the internal cabling for those, plus a bundle of mains leads plus a pair of speakons coming out of the back, getting to the DI socket is a royal pain. It's also about 7" from the back of the flightcase to the back of the amp as well. I have an old Hartke HA3000 which actually has the XLR on the front of the unit and I found that sooooo much easier to use.[/quote] I see what you mean now. I have 3 DIs on the back of my amp confusing? You bet.

BTW if anyone wants GTA or GTA2 for the PC they are now free to download from the Rockstar website [url="http://www.rockstargames.com/downloads#/dl:/collection:7/content:/downloads/getClassics/7"]http://www.rockstargames.com/downloads#/dl...s/getClassics/7[/url] I may post this in OT too.

[quote name='icastle' post='1015957' date='Nov 8 2010, 04:42 AM']DI socket on the back of the amp (many makes) - PITA to get to when it's flight-cased. [/quote] Can you explain this, I'm trying to get my head around why it'd be a problem?

[quote name='Bottle' post='1016090' date='Nov 8 2010, 10:13 AM']Don't often have a bad gig - occasionally will screw up an intro or fill or bridge, but generally just gaze at my shoes in shame and get on with it. Half the time the congregation don't even notice. Most times it doesn't bother me. Sometimes, if I know I've made a complete hash of it, afterwards I'll have a chat with the worship leader or another musician that I trust and just go through stuff with them, identify any areas where I could improve i.e. timing and scales etc. Obviously, if you've not practiced or not slept well the night before, then it shows, and a couple of times I've had to phone the other bassist to get them to dep for me or ask them to take over during the set. If I'm playing in the funk jam open-mic night, then it's a bit more complicated, but generally I dig in and keep going - it's all meant to be a learning experience, after all. HTH, Ian[/quote] I guess if you're in church and you screw up you will be forgiven.
