I not sure if this questions been asked (5 pages in) but why doesn't the drummer use a 'proper kit' sounds like he's trying to get the same vibe from an electronic kit as an acoustic one, sometimes people can't see the wood for the trees

bloody hell, that's why I can't see them

I don't do subtle , no shame in cutting down on mistakes

I got a roll of luminous tape off ebay, very handy for dark stages

I believe The Jam's 'Modern World' had 'Don't Give a Damn' on the single version, to be honest it's far better to do that than have the bleep put in by radio stations, as in the case of American Idiot by Green Day, I always avoid swear words when writing lyrics, always sounds rather childish when I try and put them in

this one? does seem to start rolling off early, if you boosted 100hz with the PEQ would this compensate for this?

on the B3 PEQ there are two sweepable EQ's per effect so it would be possible to do 6 PEQ effects, completely over the top though, I think the law of diminishing returns kicks

A Zoom B1on is a cheap way to stick your toe in the water, under £50, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zoom-B1on-Bass-Effects-Pedal/dp/B00JLEHMG6 the same sims as its big brothers (the B3 and MS60B), trickier to adjust and a plastic case (though I've been using one at gigs for 2 years with no problems) I use the M comp with everything set in the middle, and there's all the other goodies on there as well, at the price it's unbeatable

that got really boring after about 45 secs, incidentally I see he's playing drums right handed, Ringo must have taught him

I've noticed this, but why would you want to take them off and put them back on again? with any regularity anyway. Don't most strings wear where they rub the frets? I've always assumed that's why new strings rattle more

to be fair, when ever I've bought them through ebay they've always put the value at less than $10 so I've always been ok, this time I bought them direct to get the heavy set, still waiting for the package so I'm assuming they didn't do it this time, same firm though, bassstringsonline

where from, the UK? I've seen them for that price and a bit cheaper from the USA, depends on string thickness, colour etc. but there's always the risk of customs duty, the last set cost me £30 (wanted to try a heavy set 50-110) plus £13 duty and Post Office charges, first time it's happened though

this is true, but it's the same elixirs and any coated string I guess, doesn't effect the tone though, the coating keeps the finger sweat and dead skin out of the strings, which obviously isn't a problem at the pick end of things

fixed, I think they're ok, IMO, you're right about them looking cool though. for punk anyway, I've been using them for about 5 years, they're about right for me, I get a lot more comments about the colour of my strings than my playing

I use them, used to use elixirs, IMO they last as long but not as smooth, I pay about £30 for them (if I don't get stung by import duty) what can you get them for?

couple of interesting articles, well I thought so https://howtoeq.wordpress.com/2010/10/07/q-factor-and-bandwidth-in-eq-what-it-all-means/ https://howtoeq.wordpress.com/2010/10/08/low-mids-for-bigger-bass-eq-tips-for-bass-guitar/

yep it's available on the B1on, https://www.zoom-na.com/sites/default/files/products/downloads/pdfs/B3_Operation Manual.pdf

no but you can stand on it while playing, and spin it round, always think that looks impressive

one of the reasons I went for the G10, it has no belt sender unit, plugs into the guitar like the smoothhound, but also has rechargeable batteries (park it in the receiver and it charges up) and it's £25 cheaper https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-dept/guitar-wireless-systems/line-6-relay-g10-digital-wireless-guitar-system edit, the only disadvantage it has is that the power supply is a USB plug so can't be powered by a conventional power supply

line 6 G10, spot on budget a really really well thought out wireless system

yeah I'm cack handed but that helps with a bit more room in the small space of the pubs we play in, haven't got to worry about smacking the singer with the headstock, of course if I want to I just turn round edit, I used to regularly accidently tread on my pedal, which I keep behind me, then wonder why my sound was sh*t, now I keep it under my bass stand

another starting point for compressor set up is to set everything to 12 o clock, the mid way point, and take it from there

surprisingly I've always enjoyed some of the Carpenters output, once saw a tribute in Tenerife, same thing, voice was spot on but she too was on the large side, wonder if it's the same woman

that's just what I thought
