    Was Adam and Eve and his Snake counted as Regular..?

    [quote name='Dr.Dave' post='305746' date='Oct 13 2008, 07:58 PM']I don't think we need to disassociate ourselves from guitar players out of pride in our own instruments in ways like this. You just have to get to know the average guitarists personality to appreciate the real difference![/quote]

    The problem with that is...
    The guitarist is also associated with the Banjo..... :)

    [quote name='alembic1989' post='304547' date='Oct 11 2008, 08:00 PM']Where did you buy your Delano MM from?
    and how much did it cost.?
    Do you remember the model number?
    there seem to be a few variations which is confusing.
    Thanks in advance...[/quote]

    To be honest i am not sure..
    But If you emailed Robbie over at Rim basses he would let you know.

    I have a Delano MM in my Single cut...
    And it is the Growliest Pup i have ever had.
    But that could also be a combination of various things...
    Bridge, Woods..etc [ i dont know if that makes any differance ]
    I do know it has a very high output.
    Infact i dont use any on board Eq at all. [ Agi 3 band ]
    It is just run passive [ i dont have any tone control when in passive mode]

    The Delano Pups Rock...! :)

    A letter to a headliner - it's London gigging, all right...

    [quote name='SteveK' post='303922' date='Oct 10 2008, 02:56 PM']A couple of points:

    1. It's quite possible that the headliner hasn't got a clue who you are. Back stage areas are often awash with people: Sound tech's, lighting tech's, stage crew, liggers and family and friends. Unless you have a great big sign above your head saying, "I'm in the support band". How the hell are they supposed to know? :huh:

    2. Just because headline acts often play to thousands, doesn't make them any less shy about approaching total strangers.

    3. Maybe a headline act is unable to watch the support band - [b]perhaps they have to eat [/b][u][/u]- perhaps they like a bit of peace and quiet before their show - or maybe they're just knackered and need to lay down somewhere.

    4. How many of you bemoaning the "arrogant" "Up themselves" headliners have actually done the approaching and said "Hi, I'm ?????, I'm in the support band. Looking forward to your set" or similar?..yeah, thought not. :)

    Of course you get the odd a***hole who just doesn't want to be friendly, that's life, but if [u]you[/u] say "Hi" to someone, there's more than a good chance that they'll say "Hi" back. :huh:

    I dont want to burden you with any more sh*t... :)
    But.....
    I am not sure Audacity works with the Asio drivers on your Audio interface...
    The Asio drivers will work great with Ableton..
    So might be worth grinding on with Ableton..

    You can use the standard Windows drivers with Audacity... [ MME ]
    But you will play a note....
    And not hear it until Sunday afternoon [ Latency ]

    There is a small work around though..

    As i said 4 pages ago...
    It might have been better to have spent your dosh more wisely..
    Like In the Boozer..
    Pick on some stranger just reading the Sun...
    And start banging on about Audio interfaces, Audacity, Asio drivers.....
    He will be impressed.

    [quote name='OldGit' post='299360' date='Oct 4 2008, 02:04 PM']For bands it's just the problem of playing the same tune every gig for 30 years ...[/quote]

    So you really are an old git. :)
    I know i am.. someone chucked Nivram at me the other night.
    And i still remembered it...
    F**k..how sad is that!

    Reading Bass Clef

    in Theory and Technique

    [quote name='jakesbass' post='299338' date='Oct 4 2008, 01:30 PM']So you need to be reading ahead of what you're playing, glancing back and forth across the stave all the time.[/quote]

    This is very [b]important[/b]....For When you get in the real world. [ If thats your aim ]

    This is going OT a bit.
    But there is more than just reading the notes.
    You always need to be looking ahead.
    For Keychanges, Sometimes tempo [which might also mean looking at the conductor - MD] Time changes 4/4 -3/4 etc.
    Tricky phrases just around the corner.
    Signs and codas, repeat signs. Playing straight 8's as a swing feel. [ Lazy arranging ]
    And as always, a good pair of elephant ears.
    Reading in your bedroom is one thing - [in the heat of battle something else]
    You wanna sound like you are in the same band as the others. eg..all phrasing together.
    Oh and you will need a extra pair of boxers first time out on a reading gig - session or whatever... :)
    Appart from that...its easy. :huh:
