ah the Volounteer in Honiton eh?

yeah good call, if it's a stinky poo pub, play once and never go back (if you all agree), they're usually pretty obvious.

only ever seen two punch ups in ten years (due to the age of the punters!) and they were nowhere near the band. The hassle of the setup and takedown is something you have to accept (I hate it but there you go). I love the beer money, it lets me buy all my gear and GAS. TBH I haven't missed gigging over the last 2 months (and the 8 gigs we lost) but I always say that but actually enjoy it on the night. I would say think about it carefully as if you join the band then change your mind after a couple of gigs you'd be letting the lads down.

so looking at some more info, it would appear that the original B3 could be used as a 2 in/out audio interface but the newer B3n dropped that feature. If that's true that's a mahoosive deal breaker for the newer version IMO, I'd love to see some video of the older B3 used as a Audio Interface but I can't find any.

so was the Audio Interface discontinued on the B3N? That's a trick missed by zoom if I ever heard one, what a great feature that is!

i used to do it with my digitec RP1 many moons ago and had some awesome results as the reverbs were so good on that old thing, hence why I thought it might be worth a try

I own a scarletti Audio interface and its great but I also have one of these for a fiver and believe it or not it actually sounds ok, try one from the out of your zoom into it and into the PC (grab yourself a free copy of Reaper and some ASIO4all drivers, again free) https://www.wish.com/product/561ba5653b283f11a73ff5f0?hide_login_modal=true&from_ad=goog_shopping&_display_country_code=GB&_force_currency_code=GBP&pid=googleadwords_int&c={campaignId}&ad_cid=561ba5653b283f11a73ff5f0&ad_cc=GB&ad_curr=GBP&ad_price=5.00&campaign_id=8703990225&retargeting=true&gclid=Cj0KCQjwka_1BRCPARIsAMlUmErkb44zYqu_07W96vReJPloWhIJR4qi701jzG373KQYzo7nZmB_n-YaAgrgEALw_wcB&share=web If you need to vocals through your zoom, you'll probably need an XLR to Jack adaptor https://cpc.farnell.com/pro-signal/psg00747/xlr-socket-to-6-3mm-plug-2m/dp/AV14233?mckv=sdxyiv9In_dc|pcrid|416803506677|kword||match||plid||slid||product|AV14233|pgrid|99626856931|ptaid|pla-896742109818|&CMP=KNC-GUK-CPC-&gclid=Cj0KCQjwka_1BRCPARIsAMlUmEoD1alcMNhjUHyLgKukvJLMkDhJhYz9abxmFOqTbtY2IUqfp-fb2gMaAkoOEALw_wcB

Thanks for that. So you're using dropbox for large wav files I guess? I'll probably just use medium quality mp3 files and email everyone who can then download the files and drag them onto a new track on GB before adding their parts. Up until Feb our guitarist didn't even have an email, smartphone, FB account or any social media profile (all of which I sorted as "leader" of this band) so it's going to be quite a learning curve for him on GB but he's full of ideas so it'll be great to get him up and running if possible. Thanks for your input . PS it was thanks to you that I manged to get an older version of GB on both my older Imacs.

nice playing sir! And a nice sound, what are you playing into?

so as the lockdown continues and the gigging has been mothballed for probably the end of the year I've managed to get everyone in the band on garageband, loaned out old macs to the not so tech savvy guitarist etc.. The idea is that the guitarist has at least 4 or 5 ideas to put down, send em to me (all click tracked), I put bass parts down, then to the drummer, then finally the singer, you get the idea Has anyone tried anything like this? I know you can share files but what's the quickest and most convenient way to share this stuff? There's email, icloud, messaging, whatsapp...anyone else doing this and their advice would be appreciated.

Anyone seen these before? I found them after looking on the Electra website. I bought my son a 1976 Electra Alvin Bishop 335 for his birthday (ok for me really!) and it's a beautiful thing but I didn't realise the company had resurrected itself and did this quite nice looking bass, double P config as well with block inlay neck. https://www.electraguitar.com/pages/electra-phoenix-bass and they stock them in Europe for about a grand which isn't too steep, I'd love to try one. https://www.go4-music.de/de/baesse/e-baesse/electra-phoenix-bass-black-4-string-inkl-gigbag.html

https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/portfolio/custom-made-51p/ or this as a curveball, I've tried it at Mark's and its stunning https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/portfolio/1978-yamaha-bb1000-with-original-case/

You sound like you're more knowledgeable than me when it comes to this stuff. I was going to suggest giving PSP Vintage warmer a trial. I think it works in garageband, I use it a lot to give that bit of boost and sparkle you were talking about, especially for band gigs and rehearsals.

what app are you using on your ipad to record rehearsals? If you're using a DAW I could offer suggestions but I don't know your ipad process for recording your rehearsals.

I've been watching you..especially you...

Damn those 80's clothes!

Ron Carter No 1, end of... and Bobby Vega at 92? This list is a subjective joke!

The OP has gone with the zoom, will be good to hear how they get on with it The spitfire stuff is amazing for free, I've downloaded a ton of their offerings, all quality

just seen this for £79 which is a bit more but it comes with some great software including Guitar Rig 5 Pro plus MASCHINE Essentials, Ableton Live Lite, MONARK, and top NI effects plus its in stock https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/native-instruments-komplete-audio-1?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&gclid=CjwKCAjwqJ_1BRBZEiwAv73uwBDLB78GeOgYdMMETT47dhMvmdIEkZZlIjWGSlvpD9ft7ArZYocW9BoC3iMQAvD_BwE

Just out of interest, why the zoom? If it was me I'd probably go for the behringer UMC22 with its midas pre amps (if you can find one) edit, I've seen how hard these are to find and the ebay prices for new and used AI's are going a bit silly at the moment with this lockdown malarky, a bit like gym equipment and pushbikes. The zoom is at least in stock https://www.dv247.com/en_GB/GBP/Zoom-U-22/art-REC0012645-000?campaign=GShopping/UK&ProgramUUID=HADAqJarPzAAAAFlea9yjI.G&gclid=CjwKCAjwqJ_1BRBZEiwAv73uwAMsByKYfrQzZpU3Gjq7Vs2uWvbVs9v801CYz_QYcI03BwWgMFvVghoCor8QAvD_BwE

That squier at nearly 400 quid is way overpriced IMO. And I'm talking as someone who's spent daft money on an 82 squier MIJ. You'd be better off with all due respect to get one secondhand on here or something similar but from a different brand. If I had to start all over again (and wanted to buy new) I'd be looking at the Sire Marcus Miller P7, super super versatile and great quality https://www.thomann.de/gb/marcus_miller_p7_alder_4_aw_2nd_gen.htm?glp=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwqJ_1BRBZEiwAv73uwEbgoULfkPVixsnhCqRb7vfj117wvYwsbQshfrME2ErCrwMP5hSB9BoCV8YQAvD_BwE But as I said, second hand is the way to go to get the best bang for buck, whatever you do good luck and welcome to the rebel alliance! PS there's a fender MIM on here for £450 that might be what you're after

you'll need something to turn your analogue signal from your bass and effects pedals in to the digital info that goes into the PC, ie an interface. There are various ways of doing this but in all honesty for 30 quid just get one of these and be done with it https://www.gak.co.uk/en/behringer-u-phoria-um2/90096?gclid=Cj0KCQjwhZr1BRCLARIsALjRVQMorOnOSMFySlrjAbvzu5s9KIR88u9BzKzpKqnHZulbB_WC2SFOVMQaAhUAEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds or for another tenner https://www.gak.co.uk/en/behringer-u-phoria-umc22/90091?gclid=Cj0KCQjwhZr1BRCLARIsALjRVQOJe1lvlw6LdS-dMLi1ITT78drY0bGfpe6pnGLf6b-d05UfXu4CcGIaAs_LEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds I have a scarletti 2i2 and its ace, a few more quid though
