You CANNOT ad more RAM on new Macbooks. It is soldered in. I recently bought an 8 year old Macbook which was certainly not state of the art in any way shape or form. I popped a SSD drive into and it whipped my more recent work machine. A 3 year old with a decent SSD retrofit will be fine and dandy.

I am dyspraxic so get the whole some things just not happening. I have a nasty feeling that this is a hopeless case but I just do not like giving up.

I have run into this before, but this one has beaten me. I have tried standing up and dancing with him. I have tried grabbing his foot and making it work on the pulse. I have given him basic drum tracks. Nothing is working, He is completely Disco-lexic (Copyright Happy Jack). Any ideas?

[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1507116940' post='3383397'] or am I just being grumpy? [/quote] Not grumpy, but perhaps realistic. If the good Brother wants to cook up a storm then who are we to stop him? I believe his Chilli is exceptionally fine. However it does become another "thing" to do for him and numbers are famously variable even with less than 24 hours to go so it might well become a whole lot of work for very little gain. It would probably be less hassle for us to find the nearest pizza delivery place and do an order on the day and everyone be responsible for what they need. Or bring sarnies obv!

I have just sold my Overwater 6 which was 12lbs 4. I would not want to stand for long with it on. But WHAT a sound. If only my cognitive RAM could process 6 strings I would probably have flogged everything else. I doubt that I will play it's like again.

I have had truly exceptional customer service from Jule Potter (Monique) and Jim Bergantino. On kit I bought on the 2nd hand market so they had not actually seen any of my money.

There was talk of one of the QSC boxes which had a bass guitar mode in the gubbins at the back. That would seem to be a good reason to look at them specifically.

At least it comes with a gig bag (Irony alert).

It went this afternoon.

More pics would be nice!

I have some early Mackie SRM350 cabs which never let me down when I need a powered wedge. They appear now and again on the 2nd hand market for £200ish.

Thanks! A frame that the NS fits into. This is why I asked cos I knew someone would come up with a lateral solution!

I have an NS5 and a Yamaha Silent bass at the moment. The NS ticks more boxes for me but the skeletal frame on the Yamaha is superb. It really gives me the DB reference points which makes everything feel like home. I am going to shift the Yamaha but am wondering about such a frame on an NS. Clearly the Yamaha will not fit, but has anyone done or seen anything similar on an NS? I could buy this but it would mean a bit of woodwork on the NS which I could happily live without. https://www.ebay.com/p/Yamaha-Extension-Frame-for-Silent-Bass-Slb200-Repair-Parts-Accessories-F-s/1553426742?iid=282636055605 I know I am asking for the impossible, but I am just asking anyway That is what the internet is for, right?

Can we all wait until mid April?

Bob. What dates will you be in the UK? This is as easy a way as any to decide a date

I have experinced Jim's customer service from across the Atlantic. It is the bomb. He makes it right.

You can load drivers which are not OS compliant by unclicking the padlock thing in Security and Privacy in the System Preferences doobrie and allowing Apps downloaded from anywhere. That is how my Ozonic keyboard/interface lives to fight another day.

Car parking will be important as well. Obvious, but the kind of detail I would forget to factor in.

I am particularly excited about the banqueting option in a lot of those rooms!
