  1. The only reason I got rid of mine, was because I was living in a top floor flat, with no lift. Carrying it up 6 flights of stairs was not fun!
  2. Gigging is a major part of my social life. I see my mates, we have fun, I get paid, plus all my gigs tend to be within 30 minutes from home, so what's not to like?
  3. I've been trying to find a Thunderbolt 2 hub or adapter. They don't seem to exist anymore! 🙁
  4. Many years ago, I bought my new-to-me USA Fender Precision bass, for the princely sum of £150. Maybe it was the sign of the times, and my young age, but it never lost the wow factor for me, as in 'wow, I own a proper USA made Fender bass!' which of course made me love playing it, and want to play and gig it more. For me, I don't think I could ever have the 'wow factor' from a MIM.
  5. I had the 350w version. Built like a tank, never let me down, loud enough for any gig. Heavy though 🙃
  6. i have various OBBM cables, so need never replace what I already have
  7. Psuedo-intellectual bollox, if you ask me But I managed to find this: On a final note, a bar of 4/4, 5/5, 6/6, 7/7, 8/8, 9/9, 145456/145456 all have the same duration - one whole note, one semibreve.
  8. Not seeing any examples of non-standard. Any time signature with a bottom number of 2, 4, or 8 is pretty standard So here's an example which has a section in 5/5
  9. It arrived yesterday. I've been having a fiddle. - hate Apple - love Garageband Garageband seems to just work. I plugged in my midi keyboard and was instantly playing the instrument I selected. No worrying about sample rates, Audio Thread Priority, or ASIO, etc (none of which I have a clue about). As for Apple, I do not want an Apple account, user ID, or any 'services' they provide. I just want to use Garageband.
  10. if I hadn't bought what I just have, I would have had this. A week ago and it would have been mine. Always the way... GLWTS!
  11. I don't think it can be classed as a good point in life, when rehearsal studios are nicer than where you live
  12. Have you had a google of 'Best free VST's'? There is some amazing 'pro-quality' stuff out there for free.
  13. And we'll really shake them up When we win the World Cup 'Cause Scotland are the greatest football team - if ever there were lyrics which epitomise the thread title...
  14. wow! Don't think I've seen a headless explorer. Like it though
  15. it's only got 2 USB slots, so I'm guessing I'm gonna have to buy a couple of Thunderbolt leads? My midi keyboard and Line 6 GX have different connections though.
  16. cheat, and use a really heavy noise gate!
  17. it took me a good while to learn it, and if I don't play it regularly I need to practice it a lot to get it back up to scratch. Economy of motion works for me, so the intro's are played at first position, and the verses all at 8th position. As others have said, it's about nailing the groove, plus it helps to have a pretty great drummer to play with.
  18. ta! It seems to be about £200 under what they usually go for. And for what I want it for, I can live with the staingate. The seller is in Basingstoke, so I have to hope that UPS don't destroy it in transit!
  19. gorgeous blonds don't feck around. Regarding the ledger lines, I know middle C so then it's just like reading the treble clef - or thinking of it like piano score. This approach may not work for everyone. (and yes, I'm aware the bass is transposed down so those notes would not be as sounded in the treble clef)
