Now got a Galaxy Rab9+ and I'm at the 'realising how bad my old tablet is' stage... Perhaps it's only good for a photo frame, although I'm trying a few of these apps

I look forward to attaching the covers to my AVII Precision. I dream of creating the u-shaped scar on the delicate nitro finish.

You need help...

I use a very old and very mellow Ibanez chorus for occasional use only. The sort of songs it excels on have bassline with slow, melodic sections - What is and what should never be is an example, it makes the long, slow slides shimmer.

I have a Behringer PA amp. Very happy with it and slightly intimidated by all it's bi-amping and bridging possibilities. Fortunately I just need a basic stereo amp.

I want to catch them while I can. My brother has been going to their concerts since the early 80s.

And feel.

Now fitted to my Jack V Custom. Doesn't look as nice but a game changer for ease of tuning. I will see if there's potential for making it less visible.

There are a lot of people who are dogmatic about how to read and understand music. Tab doesn't require an understanding of harmonic theory and I think that makes trained musicians tend to look down on it. However, it is straightforward for learning pieces and can be used at any level of complexity. I have to work with what I understand, it makes understanding theory slower but not impossible.

Suggedt he gets a noise gate?

It was grim, I had a nasty bout of vertigo while setting up and a few wobbles while playing. I gad no idea the whole world would start warping and whirling round an hour after the gig!

I can't read pitch from a traditional score without great difficulty. But as I can read rhythm fairly well I find I can site read many songs from that sort of advanced tab including chsnhing to my preferred fingerings on the fly.

It depends on the design and the timber.

I have a crap Lenovo tablet looking for a use as I've ordered a galaxy tab to replace it for work. It is very slow, but It could serve for setlists/prompts especially if depping. Is there a good android app, or am I best off just having a pdf. The ideal would be a setlist, andvrap.on a song brings up a page of notes/condensed tab/chord chart or whatever... Main requirements- never goes blank, stable - doesn't easily disappear or crash. Big letters.

I had elbow bursitis. Doctor said it should sort itself but come back if it inflames. A few days later it went a funny colour and very hot. Horse-sized antibiotics and it then got better. My main issue is arthritis but playing seems to be the best treatment. Plus I had vestibular neuritis come on at a gig, fortunately the lying down vomiting phase came on after I got my gear away... a week in hospital and a month later still having the odd bout of nausea.

But... is it good for metal?

I was out already for the Kay, but I've gone for a s/h spectracomp.

I love mine. It's so eady to play and dounds so good it does any gig where I want a stress free time. Suits Fender 7250 nickel plated strings really well. I spent a good while tweaking the relicing to look more natural and checked it with freezer spray. Bought as a cheap way to get a great early-60s style bass. Relic/signature were not sought but aren't an issue, in fact I love the relaxed played-in feel.

Tbh the clear guard is spoiling a lovely bass imho. It looks as if the protective film is still on it... peel it off and it could look much better. A pearloid one could look good on that.
