  1. On a forum I'm involved with the simple approach of banning the pisting of ads until your first post had been approved by a mod hugely reduced scams. Must scammers know nothing of the subject...
  2. Get an Orange Crush 20. Decent tone, built in tuner and 20 watts RMS so will wipe the floor with any '30 watt' no-name amp.
  3. Thanks, it was only the second time our vocalist has unleashed the capabilities of his new mixer, and a house PA as well! Basically he did the full 'sound out with white noise' then used presets. Drums were just kick and snare.
  4. On Saturday we used a house pa with alto tops and a single H+H sub. Our vocalist used his desk and started by equalising with white noise and a reference amp. Then he let the system ring out any feedback automatically. I asked him not to low pass my bass, he showed me the default curve which was a hpf about 40hz, a slight dip at 4-500 to make space for guitars, then flat. Positive comments from the audience, which inclded a few musos. ! few people here have commented that my bass sounded 'really deep' on what are just phone recordings.
  5. @dmccombe7 Most decent phones these days have a square sensor, but they rarely let you film square video. Most detect which way up the phone is and give landscape or portrait. In the last several months or more, Farcebook decided that 'live' video has to be prortrait so people watch it on their phone.
  6. The real question is why do phones with SQUARE sensors force you to shoot portrait when holding the phone in a comfortable orientation? Actual reason is Facebook live has stopped allowing landscape video 😞
  7. Possibly just natural;l variation, I'm guessing the colour will depend on time of harvest and the amount of sugar in the sap, as the brown comes from the maillard reaction (cooking rather than charring).
  8. I meant in general across the evening. Flummoxed the rhytm guitarist a bit.
  9. Is it set to 'private' or 'friends only'?
  10. I try and stick to Dee Murray's original, it's my favourite 'test a bass' line 🙂 Troy's videos are excellent. Our dep drummer was running a bit fast all night and it took away some of the groove.
  11. Thanks, even deeper on this! 🙂 Especially for Daryl! Saturday Night-1.mp4
  12. I have an unused tele scratchplate and possibly some useful parts (e.g. tuners), will need to check the bits box.
  13. I've found the jack on the P10 is no so much loose as lacking a good solid detent, so it can just slide out if the cable gets tugged.
  14. The gig with dep drummer went ok. Interesting using house pa but Nick used his desk to eq it out with white noise which was impressive. Often the Ex's doesn't start to fill up until 9 (the Alley being a rather sterile box with the lights on), but we had punters arriving from 8 which was a good sign. In the end it was rammed and our second set got much dancing. We used their lights plus ours so although pretty basic stuff it looked good in a Christmas Tree sort of way! Obviously a few Interesting endings etc with a dep, but aside from almost everything being a bit fast to groove well, it went really well. The band WhatsApp is buzzing after two really good gigs 😎 feels like we've caught our stride now. 20240914_204823.mp4
  15. To elucidate further, most of the fan noise on the elf is from high airflow. A quieter fan may not shift enough air for good cooling.
  16. I found my spreadsheet and updated it. I have far too many instruments that are not basses and I haven't even started listing harmonicas, the ocarina or jaw harp.
  17. Those tops are the same as mine! A bit old school but sound good.
