I think it was £420. That numbers ringing bells. -
Open to offers btw.

Price drop to £2100. New bass arrived so I really need this to go -
It’s even more fun when you add DevSecOps into the equation!

Hi folks, thought I’d share this out as I’m immensely proud of it! Today our latest EP went live on a myriad of streaming services. It’ll be on Amazing music and Bandcamp today too. The Julian Year is proud to announce the release of their latest EP, The Price of Freedom. This 7-track collection features five brand new tracks alongside refreshed versions of their 2023 singles Rewritten and Legions, the latter of which received airplay on BBC Radio 1’s Introducing Rock with Alyx Holcombe. The Price of Freedom builds upon the sonic landscape of their 2022 EP All That I’ve Become by introducing several new elements to the band’s powerful EDM-infused hardcore sound; these include nods to nu-metal on both the title track and Rewritten, trance influences on Breakthrough, and dubstep-style synthesizers coupled with extended-range guitars on the epic closing track Dogma. Staying true to their creative roots, The Julian Year continue to draw inspiration from popular culture in their music; the title track pays homage to the iconic Final Fantasy video game series, whilst Breakthrough offers a critical reflection on the actions of a popular TV hospital drama’s lead character. The Price of Freedom is now streaming on all major platforms. For further details, visit li.sten.to/thejulianyearofficial. About The Julian Year: The Julian Year is a four-piece hard rock band hailing from Aberdeen, Scotland. The band is made up of lead vocalist John Forrest, bassist Davie Brown-Wood, guitarist Scott Murray and drummer Steve Clark. Their music draws influence from a wide range of sources, including life in Aberdeen, popular culture and personal relationships. The band combines EDM-inspired synthesizers with massive guitar riffs and emotive vocals, delivering a sound that is both powerful and Nerdy part - bass was recorded direct using my Status Chris Wolstenholme 1 and 2 (5 String). Tone built with NDSP Parallax - it worked beautifully in tandem with both Status basses. I’m happy with how it sounds!

Still have this. Bought a new Status bass so this really needs to go. Make an offer!

And this is an issue?
-
Yeah I don't get this attitude at all. It's getting more people interested in bass, and I'd hazard a guess that CB could rock a standard band gig with no issues. Just the technical silliness is what gets views. Not going to lie, when I was a kid I spent ages learning to play weird stuff. Zero reason why the mental stuff has to be locked to guitars or keyboards! Watching and listening to guys like Vic Wooten, Michael Manning, Billy Sheehan etc.

Hi folks, I bought this from Guitar Guitar about a couple of months or so back. Got it as a spare in case my quad cortex died at a gig but so far it’s never been used by me! I reset it and updated it back in April but that’s it, I haven’t even built a patch. i’ve decided to go for a solution like my guitarist and use a digital plugin in the event of an emergency. With NDSP parallax x having a transpose I’m happy to use that! So - save this getting more dusty - it’s better it get sold on and used appropriately! Based in Aberdeen. Happy to ship at buyers cost. I didn’t get the box when I bought it, just the power supply, but will be packaged well.

Played a metalfest last night. Great gig, pretty busy and we seemed to go down pretty well. One of the warmest stages I’ve ever been on! We got a new drummer and he did very well. Few cock ups but no issues! Our IEMs had a weird issue (I’ve posted in the IEM bible thread), guitarist could hear everything but drummer, singer and I couldn’t hear right and i was getting weird interference. Crackling etc. need to figure that out. Sound was Quad Cortex direct with my Status Chris Wolstenholme (v1). Muchos compliments after! Venue used smoke so photos were… difficult!

The IEM (in ear monitors) Bible thread
woodyratm replied to EBS_freak's topic in Accessories and Misc
Hey guys, thought I’d post here for a wee bit of help! my band are using a very basic IEM system (Anleon S2) from our interface. We compromise in that we have a “balanced” mix so everyone hears everything (guitar, bass, vocals, synth and click track). It’s been working well but today at a gig - it went a bit weird… I was struggling to hear myself, and had my receiver at 100% volume. I use custom ACS Engage monitors. im sure I was hearing break up today, cracking and the like. The guitarist has the rack next to him and said he could hear everything fine with no interference or that. I’ve found out that the unit likely shouldn’t be used (operating in 670MHz range), so questions… 1) is there anything antenna wise I could do to improve until we get a suitable unit that ofcom would be happy with? 2) any suggestions on a similar unit (stereo in), multiple receivers that work operate in the UK space. 3) we looked into digital units 2.4 and 5ghz. Are these modern applications fairly robust in gig environments? Realise 200 people with iPhones and androids are noisy in the spectrum. Did have a read but wanted to confirm! Thanks in advance. -
Post your pictures, Lets see what you all look like.

Wife took a photo of me at my gig tonight. I look like it’s my first day of school. LEDs weren’t even on yet! -
Bump. This is sat in its case not being used so needs to go.

Bump. Open to sensible offers.

Bump. Two bidders on eBay, then cancelled their bids at the 11th hour. Wonderful!
