I mentioned that process, pretty sure there was no need to be a business to get in on the act.

Any sub can sound like skid marks if you send it too high or low or too much too much. Your active ones should be self filtering and limiting to avoid that but may allow leeway for user exuberance to cause the aforementioned skid marks. So do please RTFM! There's a temptation when your subs are out gunning your mains, to raise the low pass on the subs to help them out. Meh.

Yes and no. I can sight read pretty well, up to the point I can't keep up. That's enough to get some gigs and not others. Players that can sight read anything put in front of them and play it like they mean it are the 1%ers. They are mainly too busy working to post much on forums.

The keys go hand in glove with your fingers knowing the scales that go with them. Then the 'accidentals' ( the extra sharps and flats ) show up in your scanning ahead to engage the brain in a shifting finger from the scale note to the accidental. Incidentally, the 'modes' of the scale have you playing a whole lot of really odd sounding notes without accidentals. Real jazzers can play them all by ear. I only know 'major' and 'minor'. If you start a scale on A but play all the notes of C major then you're playing an A minor scale. But you don't need any theory to read it and I couldn't possibly tell you its mode name of C.

Just noticed this: Add another week to the timeline?

If you can play it you can read it. On a first run I will sometimes switch modes from reading to inuiting based on what it sounds like it should be given the flyshit as it appears in view. Ain't nobody complaining. My teacher used to say, pieces are just mixed up scales. The key of the tune gives your fingers most of the notes and the sharps and flats are the only info that has to be dutifully read along with the note durations. When it jumps around your brain has a bit more work to do but even then you can recognise the interval and transfer that to your finger and hand position without having to go via note name and position on the instrument.

Exactly where I was when the opportunity came up to play in a big band. All of a sudden I was 'reading' bass clef until I was reading bass.

Go for gold.

Based on the 24th to 28th window you could easily add an extra couple of days just to arrive in UK. Then add another couple of days just for PF to sort and convert the tracking. I wouldn't be concerned until a few days into September. The original tracking ought to ping the handover in UK. I have had DHL from Germany arrive completely unannounced by the German tracking so you never know your luck.

Made in UK. Real mystery machine. 208 = 2x8'' speakers, in a self powered box = an idea before its time.

Cash is suffering much greater depreciation than bass gear thanks to inflation. Hang onto it. Then you have no impediment to grabbing an opportunity to get back into bassing. I was out of 'the scene' for a few years and hardly so much as picked up a bass. Didn't even cross my mind to sell my gear. These days I am mostly playing jazz after impressing a jazzer in the audience at an open mic. I had installed myself as house bassist playing along with whatever needed bass, rock country reggae pop original samba groove, you name it I played it, or dropped out if I had no idea wtf was happening. The jazzer had a drummer lined up for an improv project. We had one jam and lined up a gig. It paid a pretty penny to play whatever came to mind as loud as we liked. Best rates ever. Private parties for fans. Damn I miss that band!

I sent a bass away with a computer specialist courier no worries. Their truck could hold all manner of giant monitor screens and boxes with dividers and tie downs to separate stuff from banging into other stuff. They weren't any more expensive than Chuckitt & Smashitt Couriers Inc.

..until you stop with the boomp boomp boomp and all of a sudden the band sounds like half the members went to the bar.

The GK is readily fixable by an authorized technician. First step is accomplishable by any and all bassists: Insert a 1/4" lead between the fx send and fx return sockets. If I had a dollar for every time this sorts a 'dead' GK that still lights up I would have enough for an overseas holiday bar tab.

Still? It's a corruption of very old slang for the generation that was born in the baby boom that followed World War II. ''Baby Boomers''. One day, relatively recently, some smart smart derrière GenX or Y or summat took exception to the correction of the errors of his ways by a senior citizen and dismissed them with the retort ''Ok Boomer''. Meaning ''I hear you but you are irrelevant to me''. This made the news because Boomers watch the news and this was important.

Must be a powerful singer, less mic gain ftw.

There's two rules to open jamming. Don't play if you don't what the next note is going to be. Never stop with the bass. C'est la vié.

I wish you many more years of going boompity boom boom.

I am no tech but I know a guy who is: @agedhorse , who designed your amp.!!! My 10c is if it's unaffected by the volume knob it has to be after the knob where it starts or in the knob itself.

The Elf has the power to do a lot of gigging with an extension cab. Seems a bit overkill for your purposes.

Boomer is short for ''50's baby boom born person''. Many due to check out in coming years.

It's back to posting but saving in the editor as unposted when the post is an imported quote. Eg Quordle results.

Would your application be more favourably considered when plod have washed their hands of the matter? If I was the layby manager I would spend my lunch break going over the footage and get a screenshot of the crims' plate for the applicant to hassle plod with.

Twice a month well paid fed and watered would be wonderful. Where do I sign up?

Iirc from the last time I was looking at your rules there is a system in place to kind of pre clear your import. Effectively the forms have all been prefilled and the fees calculated so all they have to do is confirm it is the item and it skips on if you have already paid. Maybe next time...
