I have a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (2nd Gen) interface which is fixed into a wooden studio rack. It sits on a desk and is plugged into an iMac which sits on the rack. Now since lockdown I'm not really using that room as more important work is going on in there and on that computer. I'm usually in a different room on a Macbook talking gibberish on the DofI thread but when not doing so I'm writing a lot of new bass lines. I want to record these to send over to my musical partner. Now I also have Logic Pro X on the machine upstairs but I don't want a) the faff of humping that interface up and down the stairs nor b) the rigmarole in setting it all up for just a few bars of bass. What I need is a small very portable rig that I can have to hand so I can quickly plug the bass into and then into the laptop, or even better the iPad, and record. I've been looking at the Focusrite Scarlett Solo but also at the iTrack Solo. Anyone have experience of such devices or similar? I have a little Roland R-05 recorder that's ok for recording duo rehearsals but it's no good for an un-amplified bass. As usual any tips on simply recording bass on its own for file sharing with other band members or experience of the devices mentioned or, indeed, any others most welcome. Cheers.

I received a prompt reply from John, thanks again.

I have done just that, cheers Alan.

Cheers Alan. The springs were in the short scale Recurve which has the East UNI-PRE 4K preamp, any idea where I can get a replacement spring?

Not sure you would be concerned... about anything.

However my delicious knees atop their toned, tanned legs and finely turned ankles have often got their own encore, and anyway no shorts/knees means no Angus and no AC/DC ... I'm assuming he gets a pass?

I have just taken the stacked knobs off my ACG (they needed a clean) and I've discovered that a couple of them (two out of three of the stacked knobs) had springs between the upper and lower knob, the remaining stacked know had no spring. Are these springs usually to be found between the knobs like this, I suppose I should ask @skelf really. Having done the same previously with the Harlot it had no springs in the stacked knobs.

Go on, go on, go on, go on.

I can only apologise 😀

I always rather liked John Wilson’s playing on the ‘pavement’ side of Penthouse and Pavement by Heaven 17, I wonder what happened to him?

Right on!

Saw them a couple of times in the 80s, it was a party over here and a party over there.
