Cool! So nice and tidy too. Curious what the BlueTube is used for---that's something I wouldn't expect to see in there.

Just pulled the trigger on the ST-200. Not really much more--$40 or so--than the Korg (or a TU-2) and looks like something I can trust more as I get into setting up my instruments (including my geetars:)

Yeah as for the tone suck, it's never in my signal path anymore. It's either coming out of the "thru" jack on my DI, or if I'm using my pedalboard, I have a passive Radial Bigshot switcher so it's on it's own mute-able send. It's behaving sketchy any-which-way I try it. The ST-200 looks like...

Yeah, it looks like I found a guy who wants a few bucks more for the paying gig than what the paying gig was going to pay me, like 20 bucks. I can swing that to do "the right thing". Perhaps that's crazy, I dunno. It's not even really about maintaining relations--just guilt I guess;) As for the...

Then again, as I research here more, the Korg Pitchblack is lookin' good too! I like the simplicity of that one in particular, and I gather the ST can be hard to see outdoors . . .

On second thought, the SR is looking VERY interesting . . . http://www.turbo-tuner.com/

I've always relied on the trusty Boss TU-2. It fits on my 'board, and has always done the trick. When I record, I configure my setup so it's out of my signal path (cause I've noticed it IS a tone sucker). Lately, it seems like it's just not reading/tracking well--it really jumps around alot...

I play with this band that sometimes does paying gigs, and sometimes, we do it for free for kicks. In fact, I'm not even the full-time guy---I'm sort of filling in for him. Now, we have a couple gigs coming up, and I made a mistake with my schedule and have to back out less than a week before...

Thanks JMJ---it's encouraging to hear about other folks getting past such things, and that life goes on, especially busy pros. I am vehemently anti trad western medicine for the most part(from my past experience, all they wanna do is cut and medicate), so the alt/acupuncture/massage route is...

Hey JMJ, Just curious, as you've played your arse of for years and toured like crazy, night in and night out---have you ever had an injury that affected your playing and had to deal with it and press on? Of course, I hope the answer is "no", but if you have, I'd be curious with whatever you'd...

My uncle I'm staying with (also a TB'r) is buying me lessons as a birthday gift(he wants to learn too)! I guess I just want my own instrument . . .

I'm thinking of entering the URB water for the first time. Only have toyed around on one here and there. I have read the threads here about buying an upright. I have 1000 bucks tops, and it just freaks me out to think about buying an instrument like this sight-unseen/unplayed(not that I'd really...

It's been ages since I rocked a tube bass amp--that's my excuse for the following:) I'm using an SVT Classic at a rehearsal studio for a few days, and regarding the Standby vs. Power switches, my understanding from reading the SVT Classic manual from the Ampeg site is that, first you fire up...

I just got one of these, and while it's hella fun to play up high and pretend to be Pino on "Tear Your Playhouse Down . ." I'm mainly using it on one or two songs in a set to mimic where some big synth comes in on the recording (the keyboard players hands will be a bit tied up right there:) It...

I do find it interesting that you still see plenty of big acts up there without in-ears, using good old wedges and whatnot. I was just looking at live photos of Eric Clapton's band from earlier this year (I was surfing for live shots of Pino and found Ericclaptonphootos.com) and there doesn't...
