A few words on the subject of professionalism
MacDaddy replied to Dom in Dorset's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='Len_derby' timestamp='1327406370' post='1510577'] Q How many pedants does it take to change a lightbulb? A It's 'replace' actually, not 'change'. Back OT. Because of the generally high levels of sloppy unprofessionalism in all walks of life. (and it ain't nothing new) It only takes a small amount of attention to detail, empathy for others and patience to make a real difference. So, why not make the most of it? I drummed that lesson into my kids, and they're doing alright. [/quote] not if they are now drummers -

They don't care if you are David Bowie? Complete arse. Of course they would care if they were working with David Bowie. If they are the kind of people who would not give a sh1t about working with a musician of the calibur and status of David Bowie, then they should not be doing the job. -
Beware...Scammer on the items wanted forum

[quote name='N64Lover' timestamp='1326541263' post='1498534'] Yes, I have now. [/quote] cool, I would have reported it myself only I didn't get the message. I'm guessing even scammers don't think I'm worth scamming? -

have you reported it to the Mods? -
Him: Tracey, do me a favour. Google 'do farts have lumps?'.

[quote name='rushbo' timestamp='1325870188' post='1489191'] No, it was sort of chorus/delay hybrid. It didn't do either very well, I'm afraid... [/quote] That's a shame. The chorus and delays on mine are easily comparable - IMO - to our other guitarists for more expensive pedal. I'd assume they use the same circuits, so not sure why the pedals would sound pants? Could be wrong though, maybe they put more effort into the v-amps. Although TBF a lot of people think they're pants too

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1325894945' post='1489687'] Yep, seriously under-rated guitarist. [/quote] yeah, he never got the chance to showcase his lead playing for some reason. It's not like there wasn't room, Wild Boys is screaming out for a guitar solo. [quote name='brensabre79' timestamp='1325865560' post='1489076'] Crikey, musical differences already...? [/quote] made I laugh mightly

[quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1325861932' post='1488979'] maybe some Power Station and Arcadia too! [/quote] or maybe not!

Bet this was a fun gig! Van Halen re-form with Diamond Dave

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1325863125' post='1489010'] 3 out of 4 ain't bad! Besides Michael Anthony is entrenched in Chickenfoot now with Sammy Hagar (who could NEVER replace Dave Lee Roth as far as I am concerned) [/quote] Even though Van Halen reached commercial peak with Hagar? -
[quote name='rushbo' timestamp='1325710490' post='1486564'] ...I did, however, buy the multi-effect pedal which was Ebayed within an hour of purchase.... [/quote] Do you mean the Behringer X V-amp? I use one of them for the band I'm in. More than does the job, and doesn't sound cheap. I was going to 'upgrade' but then though 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'

Not sure how this will pan out, as I'm in that London- SW, but if you can get a good Simon and Nick, I'll be Andy. [quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1325201446' post='1481007'] It'd be great to do it with the 81-83 era image but still play some of the newer material too. Saying newer I mean 7&RT onwards, hardly new really.... haha [/quote] Agreed but possibly augmented with selected later material such as Electric Barbarella, and Ordinary World?

We'll keep an eye on it and see what happens. Enjoy! [/quote] cheers Ped!

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1325703137' post='1486416'] If I understand correctly, though, MacDaddy was implying that the guitar-related subforum on BC would be specific for those of us who play both instruments, not like a normal guitar forum like many you can find elsewhere. (Happy to stand corrected if I got it wrong.) [/quote] nope, that's spot on

As a bassist I've always been against the idea of Basschat having a wee corner where those who play both guitar and bass could congregate and speak in hushed tones. It is [b]Bass[/b]chat after all. But seen as I am now playing the guitar in a band myself, I'm suddenly thinking it's not such a bad idea [size=2]*looks for 'hypocrite? Me?'[/size][size=2] emoticon*[/size] Any thoughts?

[quote name='mike257' timestamp='1325676566' post='1485880'] The Pod and the M-series are different products - the M5, M9, M13 are purely for effects and have no amp sim - they're supposed to augment or replace your pedalboard. The Pod stuff contains the effects, amp simulation and speaker/mic modelling and is intended to replace the whole pedals/amp/cab signal path and allow you to go direct into a PA or recording interface without all that heavy lifting! Bartelby is right on the money with the Pod X3 Pro, sounds like just what you're after. [/quote] the X3 Pro fits the bill, but ouch! I'm sure you get what you pay for, but is it over £450.00 better than the Behringer? It doesn't seem too portable for gigging.

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1325671352' post='1485787'] Ah, I take it you're looking for something that has both bass and guitar amp sims? [/quote] yep

MOSFET's all the way

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1325669286' post='1485760'] The new Zoom B3 is worth looking at. Due for release soon-ish. [url="http://www.zoom.co.jp/products/b3/features/"]http://www.zoom.co.j...ts/b3/features/[/url] [/quote] nice, but doesn't have anything for guitar.
-
The only ones I can think off which are specifically for bass and guitar, are the Behringer bass v-amp, and the Pod M9 and12 boards - although they don't have amp sims. Are there any more?

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1325603186' post='1484958'] 2. Although each string of the 5-string bass guitar covers 'only' two octaves, the range the instrument can actually play goes from its lowest B (B0) to its highest G (G4). How does that compare to the 'full' range offered by the piano?[/quote] The bass guitar is actually a transposing instrument (sounds one octave lower than written) so in concert pitch (A440hz) middle C is equal in pitch to the C played at the 17th fret on the G string of a standard 4 string bass.
