The cougars.

There’s P basses... and boutique P basses. Functionally, they do the same thing... except some just feel nicer and have a better finish.

It's the definition of a P bass. Sounds sh*t until you put it into a band.

No hurting here. I haven’t bought a bass for over ten years, I just play what I have and continue to play and develop to the best of my ability. There’s a lot to say for knowing your own bass inside our. But for others, there’s plenty of people of people that the gear is a big aspect of their hobby - secondary to the playing. And that’s cool. As for the bike thing - I also know plenty of people that own all the bikes and the Lycra... let clock up less than 50 miles a year. Again, bragging rights can be more of the appeal than the actual using of the stuff they have.

Yeah, this is along the lines of super suspect

You don't have to be a great driver to want to own a nice car. You don't have to be a olympian to own a carbon fibre cycle. Why should you buy designer clothes when the high street will do? You don't have to leave a snarky comment when you could just scroll past. (yes, I see the irony)

Put them in series.

Especially for you. There's something innocently wonderful about seeing these chaps get introduced to Phil.

It's just so odd. Long Distance Transmission: this wireless guitar system adopts 24bit/48kHz sampling frequency, 30-16KHz frequency response range, and can reaches a 164ft long transmission range, without signal loss and no lag, instant fidelity, drastically pure the tone, delay<1ms <1ms would make it the market leader. But this could mean just the transmission element with out the 2xDAC processes. But even the <= 2ms latency (to include the DAC conversions) is mind blowing for the price. I'm not saying it's not possible... but I'm certainly skeptical. And the cramming in of 100 frequencies - I'm know that's possible if you are taking up a large amount of spectrum, but 863-865 (which is what I assume that it's using), is not a large amount of spectrum. So it could be true - but running them in the UK could be highly illegal if they are not in 2.4, 5 or 863-865 portion of the spectrum. It makes no mention of shared mic license... and trying to mass produce wireless for non 2.4 or 5 for worldwide use... well, it's not going to fly... from a legal viewpoint. Oh hang on - in one of the pics it says 500-940 - which would explain the 100 channels... but would also make it highly illegal in the UK from a radio broadcasting point of view The amazon questions section makes for entertaining reading. So many numbskulls. The mind boggles.

A hard cut, or like a fm radio cutting in and out? Digital would hard cut, analogue will get the fuzzies. Im guessing that this unit is analogue if the drop outs are not hard cuts.

Was the drop out a clean drop out, or a fuzzy drop out?

I dont get the obsession with Rhythm Stick. I must be on my own.

Spoilsport.

Nope - that works based on a 5v input.

Whats the jack look like on the Elrick. Lets see if we can identify it so we can look at it's construction and attempt to figure out what is unique about it that causes this drop out.

So many parallels! Thunderbird - too right. Look good on everybody but me. And yeah, totally uncomfortable for me - they are never going to balance due to the strap position. Defo a "look" bass as opposed to being comfortable. Rickys- that about sums them up. Like playing a broom, look great... but that's about it... sadly. Jaydee. They look so dated. Dont really get them... Yet loads of people said that I should get one. Never really given them a chance... but never really dug on the MK link. Having said that, an old teacher of mine has a Calibas - really plain... that looked great and sounded great. I want to hear a King Bass without stupid 30s on... so it could potentially sound like a bass as opposed to a typewriter. I am quite drawn to Status but had a bad experience which means I'm not likely to ever go there. Modulus and Gould have gone silly money too... I just like the idea of quite a dinky bass.

In fact, I think I went to one of their gigs. I came back humming the lights.

I wonder if that's hard to play.... ...cos it's damn hard to listen to.

What's not to like... cheeky wink for the lick.

plus shared mic license

Did DS buy his?

The UI16 is the result of a buy out of SM Pro - you may have seen the uMix mixers. I think Soundcraft needed a mixer to fill the digital market quick and that was their way of doing it - buy it rather than develop it. As a mixer, the HTML interface is appealing as it's then platform agnostic as far as controllers are confirmed. You could run it from a browser running on a Raspberry Pi for example... but apart from that, I've never really warmed to it as a unit. If you are looking for simplicity and function, it's probably not a bad bet though.

Is anybody actually buying those grim BTB basses?

And it’s a completely valid, safe solution. And easier than changing pots.
