It was a retrograde step when they stopped numbering double album sides 1,4,2,3 for autochangers.

Sorry, haven't read the whole thread yet, but may I ask: As like "Der Ring des Nibelungen"? As in: you're referring to the amount of sides to play? In case: that was one of my main reasons, if not the main one, to adopt formats that were not LPs. One day, I played Wagner a whole day without ever having to change a thing. My iPod did that for me. I hate it when somebody is dying on stage and has to suffer whilst I drag my behind out of the sofa to turn a record and let the poor bar steward die with some dignity. No, I'm suggesting my copy of Yessongs gives great joy of ownership for reasons, indeed reasons without a single kilohertz in sight.

I have big hands and am generally comfy with IFPF everywhere - but presently trying to figure out how to hold down second fret while using pinky to get a harmonic at 6... OW!

Whoops totally wrong... Whoops actually I was right... Troy does have one... And yes if I had £1000 to spare...

You really do have a thing about knobs, don't you Ped. How do you cope with the P-bass? 🙂

Having done this live it's really tricky to keep the line solid and in the pocket while also getting the fills in the right places. But a fun one to play.

Yikes! A mixture of the revolting and the refined posted above. I can't abide anything with wonky tuners, I can't believe a quality luthier thinks droopy or randomly aligned tuners look 'good'. I know this is supposedly a Fender-free zone but I vote for this:

Yessongs. 😎

That combined with a fair price makes me more likely to buy it. I use such things rarely until I know how to 'fly them' which makes me unwillingt o buy expensive software after only a short trial.

Thanks folks! My Scarlett is in storage so using the soundcard which probably makes things worse. I will experiment, but I have to do some work first.

After watching a tutorial I managed to record a simple midi drum loop, but had to do a lot of quantisation that made me feel like I had no sense of rhythm at all. I then recorded some bass that sounded terrible. Looking at the 'waveform' I realised that it was out of synch, and by 'nudging' it by about 30-40 milliseconds I got it to line up. For practical reasons I'm using my desktop which is quite slow so these are much worse than the tiny tweaks I had to make on my laptop (in fact I put those down to my playing, I realise now they were just small latency errors). I assume the latency delay is consistent and can be calculated and allowed for so I can just play soemthinga nd it lines up? Can someone explain how in simple language? (P.S. my expired trial licence for Reaper but now free until February - I will probably buy it when this ends)

An advert that used 'Enola Gay' to promote lively food boxes?

LOL I assumed it was a pickup!

One of the distinguishing features of the Squier Jaguar SS. I see it has now been discontinued (too successful for its own good, undermining sales of 'higher' spec models?) I see a used one (in the USA) on Reverb for £310! Crazy? Perhaps in 20 years these Indonesian basses will have a similar reputation to early Squier P basses?

The physicality of vinyl is the big thing for me. A record in its sleeve is a work of art. I buy CDs today for cost and ease of ripping (and because my hifi hasn't been set up for about ten years), and I note that these days nice card sleeves are the thing not nasty jewel cases. Even a simple card slip is better than a crap case. I can't wait to get my hifi set up again, maybe with new speakers, once the divorce stinky poo is over.

Stick a preamp in it.

It really winds me up when people use a time machine to copy my posts 🙂

You could say they are 'going through the motions...'

If you can live with a reliced bass, then the Flea bass is a great way to get one with that spec.

Video working really hard to show how well they all were getting on...

The deal is a baseline and doesn't say anything specific on the issue, this is seeking an exemption from the standard rules. It's generally accepted that we will be negotiating on less 'headline' issues like this for years to come. Particularly worrying is that CITES rules will apply if you take your precious instruments to Europe. Wait for the fuss when a £1M violin with ivory tuners gets confiscated...

Great! Today I saw Guy Pratt and Lemmy both using the same four-note chord shape 🙂
