  1. Orchid DIs.
  2. Skiffle - Washtub, broom handle, string Deluxe version - Tea chest, broom handle string.
  3. Very true. Not sure either. And you can't patent a circuit anyway. I'm not sure the Sims system is patentable either. It's just a case of dropping coils - which is no different to splitting coils in a Les Paul. And of course, dropping coils is only half the story. The windings of one half of a humbucker is not equivalent to a single coil. And lets not forget that a traditional single coil is not made up of two bobbins side by side... and a P is not spit coils like a humbucker, they semi overlap. And you need to drop the magnetic fields when not in use. You could even drop the coils by tapping them - but that's not a new concept either. I get it - it's a one bass that tries to do it all. But for 4k, you could get a Stingray, a P and a J bass and get the real deal sounds. And of course, how many people REALLY keep swapping basses or pickup settings between tracks live? (Because if you do, you'll probably pee off the sound folk something rotten anyway). It's kinda a novelty solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
  4. On face value, the Sims system looks better. Is this the start of a legal battle over patents? Its all nonsense anywhere... it's just another take on a split coil - which is nothing out the ordinary. And the claim that the pickups act like a single coil, or a split P is nonsense, because the adjacent magnetic fields which have an influence on it's neighbouring in use coils, are not taken out of the equation.
  5. Every 90s rehearsal room band Encore bass from Argos plugged into Peavey TNT15
  6. I don't like talking about it.
  7. Im rising my eyebrow at some of these suggestions.
  8. Motown P into B15
  9. Nail the performance. You can fix sounds later - that's if it even comes up in conversation...
  10. Here's some pointers - You'll need a desk in which to create an inears mix. That desk should have the option to do enough mixes for each member of the band (consider if you want to run in mono or stereo). You'll need one aux for each mono feed, two for each stereo feed. Some desks have a limit on the number of stereo feeds (e.g. A&H QU series). Some desks allow you to plug in separate IEM mixers (look under the Ultranet bit). You'll need an IEM amplifier to take the feed from that desk to plug your IEMs into to get the signal into your IEMs. That can either be wired, or wireless. The cheapest decent option, is something like an XR18, with Behringer P2s. That will give you up to 6 mono mixes... (6 people in your band) or say 3 stereo mixes (3 people in your band)
  11. A good result! Nice one 🙂
  12. Next time, bold the "some".
  13. They may not go bang, but they guide the thing that go bang, they enable detection of the things that you want to bang up with the thing that goes bang, they enable things to go bang without taking out your own people etc etc
  14. 3 core orange mains flex is readily available!
  15. Don’t want to invest in military weapons? So no DSLR cameras, microwave ovens, cellphones, GPS (and satellite navigation), drones, the epi pen, duct tape and superglue, jet engines, portable radio, internet, night vision, blah blah… Investing in the the military and weapons is what has pushed technology into the commercial sector - some of these technologies would arguably have never come to exist without such investments.
  16. Derek and Clive placeholder.
  17. Two wrongs don't make a right and all that... ...but then again, you wouldn't bring a knife to a gun fight.
  18. My mate was on the radio this morning to talk about tributes with Nick Robinson and Nick from Pulp. Naturally, a fitting video was made to go with the interview.
  19. The story on how she got that gig is even more holy crap...
  20. I’m still confused how playing a bass is comparable to playing a synth. For extra context, I can play either (I know bass players that wouldn’t know what to do when presented with a keyboard and vice versa) and both have volume controls anyway?
  21. Find a drummer that doesn’t beach about being on an electric kit.
  22. You see, I find drummers genuinely a bigger problem than guitarists. They don’t even have to do a sneaky turn around to turn the volume up.
  23. Miriam Margolyes isn't really my type WoT, I think I'd find her a challenging w....*
