Maximum fret-age.

Everything is easy for Andy. The rest of us, not so much.

Well, that was an interesting journey. Thank you all who walked with me. As is the BC way, I got sucked into a vortex and managed to borrow 3 sets of monitors, topping out at a £2.6K pair. Once everything was Sonorworks'd it seems that my old HiFi B&W boxes are (for my purposes), just fine and dandy. Were the £2.6K boxes nicer? Yes, of course they were. Significantly better in a way that changed everything from black and white into colour? No. So there we have it.

In the interest of logging the journey, I have landed in Loopy Pro for the iPad. It is a full fat looper where everything is on a nice big screen with one function per visual element. As I was going to be using the slowing down function on loops anyway this puts everything in the same place. All for £30. Plus the cost of the iPad and interface obv. But I already own those. Coming soon to a stadium near you.

I am older and wiser by now. Fabulous!!!!!

I sold it. Would I buy it back? Yes, yes I would.

I had been saving up for my one bass to rule them all. I got on the train with all my specs sorted to go and comission my very own J5. No way was I going to have LEDs. So vulgar. So useless. When asked if I wanted side LEDs I could not say yes fast enough.

And here it is again

Chase Bliss Blooper would do it. For more than a Tensor!

This guy does it here as well. The whole two videos are worth watching. He does some lovely stuff. https://youtu.be/9X2NB--FRFw?si=RuyoS2yE6Y9XPdYH&t=335

Much as we all want it to be "the one", Belka is correct.

You have obviously been to better quality ones than I have!

They are all sorts of reasons to not have them. But they serve a purpose in that it means that people get up on stage and actually do it. The sound will be pants because in general it is inexperienced musicians strutting their stuff with their bedroom curated TOOOOOONE. And often, by now, this is the only way for young bands to hit stages. So on balance, I think they are a good thing.
