Yes, but if you want people to come and watch you, you'd damn well better be both. If you don't want to be an entertainer, stay in your bedroom.

When you do this, make sure all the tone knobs etc are set flat / to 0 / in the middle, so you can hear the actual sound of the bass and make it easier to compare.

I just bought a ToneHammer yesterday. I went into the shop to try a paradriver and a VTDI side by side and spent a long time tweaking these trying to find the sound I wanted. I was sure the para would give me the right sound if I spent long enough with it, but nothing seemed quite right. I've...

If you see these things as "nightmares", you really need to chill!!

I'm all for being edgy, pushing boundaries, making people uncomfortable etc etc, and I've done the punk shock thing and have no problems with any of the other names mentioned above by people defending this. But there are certain places you just don't go. There's a massive difference between...

:D While we may be awesome, we're far too old to ever make any serious money out of this - gig fees go back into the band to pay for recording etc, I'm assuming that we're all too good mates to screw each other - and I'm too old to be naive!! :eyebrow:

I used to play in a ZZ Top tribute band. Both Sharp dressed man and Gimme all your lovin are pretty much 1 note over and over with a sudden change for the chorus. Not complicated but very easy to mess up. I always used to think of it as a bit like being a goalkeeper for a really good football...

Don't get defensive, what might be right for me may not be right for you. You're right I wouldn't particularly like this style of band for what I do, but you're stretching things if you're trying to say I'm rubbishing the whole concept. My main point is I'm interested in people's experiences of...

I am really struggling to understand this whole 'bandleader' thing. I've been in bands for the last 20 years and never heard of the concept until i saw it on this forum - maybe it's an american thing? All the bands I've been in were 'co-operative' bands. We all knew who was good at booking gigs...

Thanks JMac and smogg for your votes, and loved your comments smogg - it is an english accent! essentre - it works ok for me and I'm on firefox, but computers are a mystery to me and don't do as they should too often, I hope you manage to get on it later! Diabolus - fair play mate, Vex...

And while I'm at it, if anyone has any clever tips about how to maximise our vote, they would be gratefully appreciated!

:help: OK, apologies for the 'please-vote-for-my-band' style plug, but... Please vote for my band!!!!!!!!!!!!:hyper: We're in the semi finals of a regional Battle of the Bands competition, bands with the most online votes go through to the final. Winner of the final gets to play at a...

Thanks for your answers! I've also contacted Audere, who have great customer service. The basic answer is that the red wires from the pups go, via the coil tap switch, to the green and white wire from the module, the same wire that the black pup wires go to. If anyone is doing a similar...
